Last week I talked about how much I liked Poko Pano and now I can show you my favorite bikini from last night's show at the Mercedes Benz Swim Miami Fashion Week Show at the Oasis. I love that there is a lot of sweet and sass in this collection and you're super beach ready when you are wearing these cool colors. I love the play with prints and the fact that this suit is definitely complimentary with its top and bottom; however, it isn't matchy matchy! What a great show to be included with the end of this series of Fashion Week since last night was the final day. There are a lot of shows and images that are still amazing to look at, so click the link above. For next year when considering attending the shows, think about how you can get that amazing VIP access by purchasing your tickets through AMEX so that you're not only front row but you can enjoy other member only benefits such as the parties and the trunk shows. In addition to checking out the main site, Coutorture has also kept a close eye on the shows so you can also check it out here as well!

Oh if only I could have been in Miami to see the shows! That was a great day to see many of my favorite swimwear designers. But when I think about my swimwear, I have to say that my cover ups are a bit lacking. I think they're cute but they tend to be an after thought and that just isn't an appropriate way to approach this portion of my closet! Tibi's line hit the runway and my favorite look happened to be this coverup! I love a great Boho Chic look and I love the whimsy that it is in this piece. This is definitely something that I would wear while in South Beach at my friend's condo or when you know you are going to a very chic poolside party! A great pair of Grecian sandals is the perfect way to touch off this look and of course a cute accessory or two! There are more great looks from this show available on Mercedes-Benz Swim Miami Fashion Week and of course you can see all the other amazing designers as well!

Last Fri the runways were full of bathing suits and fabulous swimwear! One of my favorite designers, Syla by Sylvie Cachay, hit the catwalk with a super cute Boho Chic look! My favorite look from this show is definitely this piece! I love the simple cream color but the accessories are absolutely amazing and definitely something that I would wear! It's hard to say which accessory is my favorite but clearly my eye was drawn to the belt which looks like it could be agate but I'm not sure. This piece would look cute with a slim fitting jersey or over a tank and a pair of jeans. I love this natural style and think that sometimes it's nice to go beyond wearing prints and to go with something simple and chic which looks amazing no matter where you opt to wear this. This piece and many more can be see on the Mercedes-Benz Swim Miami Fashion Week site as there were a lot of great looks for this show.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was kicked off last night with Diesel at the Raleigh Hotel's Pool Deck and of course, I had to share my favorite look from that night! I love the colors and think that this is definitely a swimsuit that would turn heads wherever you are! Of course I am a huge fan of side ties as well. A lot of the shows will go on tonight so I can't wait to share some of my favorite looks! You can also see all of the swimwear (they had a cute set for the kiddies) in photos and as a video by visiting Mercedes Benz' Fashion Week site!

A few years ago when I was in South Beach, I went to Mansion and fell in love with it! Now a couple of years later, it's exciting that it will be here and they are having a private opening tonight in West Chelsea and just in time for Fashion Week's last night, they will be open to the public on Friday! Mansion is definitely going to be interesting as it will take its place on West 27th street (they will be in the same location that formerly housed Crobar)! This is definitely going to be a nice place to be as we get into the spring and the summer. This weekend, make your way down to this new club.

Growing up, I was sad when I had to take my favorite summer pieces and fold them away to make way for all that was winter. I felt ludy Rudy from the Cosby show when she really wants to wear this plaid dress, but the weather has turned and her mother refuses to let her wear it. I always liked that episode. But now, have you noticed how people can still by spring/summer pieces year around AND you don't get crazy looks. I also love the fact that when it starts to get seriously cold, the topic of conversation in the office turns to February getaways in the islands! With that said, we need to have constant access to summer wear. If you don't feel like shopping in stores and want something with a little flavor, try these fun designs by Echo Designs that they carry coverups, shorts and much more. This is perfect for laying out, long nights dancing and the moments of purchasing amazing finds in little boutiques. Take a peek at what's here and remember that as you build your closet for this season, you can always purchase for the next or a future location. My favorite piece is the second from the right. I love that this is perfect for South Beach (my favorite place). It can start out as a great late afternoon cocktail dress and lead right into the perfect night for dancing as well. I love the pops of color and the design as well which ensures that you'll have an amazing time no matter when you wear this.
