I'm still at the shows here in Las Vegas meeting with designers, owners and more! I'm happy to say that I have found a lot of designers that I will be presenting to you over the next few weeks! Yesterday I met a designer that is literally someone that I loved every piece of the collection. Daddy's Favorite is an amazing lounge, lingerie and even "out and about" line. When it comes to luxury, you will find it here! Now why is this known as a tease? I was able to get a sneak peak of what is coming for Spring and they looked absolutely amazing as they were South Beach perfect for cabanas, cocktails and more. What is the inspiration behind the line? Mariam, the owner loved her mother's bathrobe and decided to make a line that was not only comfortable but fashionable. She knew that we hate to wear robes that we have to adjust to ensure that it stays together; moreover, we need to have sleeves that don't get in the way so that we can wash our face and do our makeup. In addition we love robes but we don't want to be frumpy! The Bohemian Rhapsody is the beginning of an amazing collection that only gets more amazing as we continue into the next season! This robe is such a fashion statement that I wants to share how it could be worn when lounging at home. You can bring in pops of turquoise with a pair of sandals with a little heel from Manolo Blahnik, Kara Ross' cuff brings in a fab red and this amber glass ring is truly simple. Daddy's Favorite is a collection that is worth bringing into your lifestyle and when the rest of the line is available on the site, you'll be the first to know. As usual, all links in the spread are clickable - so yes I'm teasing you with fab finds and the fact that there is so much to offer within the Daddy's Favorite collection!

You'll see a lot of spreads that are within the "beach theme" from now until early September (bday is Sept 12th). This is mainly due to the fact that I will be celebrating my 30th birthday in South Beach - complete with cabana, some fun rooms for my guests at the Loews Hotel and more. Yes I will be missing a few days of South Beach but I couldn't think of a better place to enjoy sun and to get out of the city for awhile. Of course, this made me think of having the perfect outfit for my big night but also earlier in the day as I will be in my bathing suit. Coverups are always essential; however, in SoBe, I think it's an essential, Ceola has an amazing piece that is perfect to wear with heels and to catch the eye of everyone out to get some sun! Of course, under it you should definitely consider a bikini by Cia.Maritima. I love her suits with the pop of color and the great cuts. On my arm, this super cute bag from Tory Burch is a must. I have a beaded bag from here that I adore but I love the elephants on this bag! Finally, I love the Vianca by Oliver People's that brings out your inner star. Make sure you check out the looks by clicking on the links within the spread! Whether you're searching for the perfect beach look now or for later in the year, this is definitely a series of looks to keep in mind!

Growing up in the midwest, I couldn't wait to finally come to the beaches of the east coast to spend copius days hanging out on the beach. I practically lived there and as I began hitting the Jersey Shores, then moving on to the islands, I knew that I could never be too far from the ocean. There's something relaxing about it and as I grew up, it was less about me running and jumping into the water. It was about bringing various events to the beach from laying out, having parties, etc. I have to say that I have seriously increased my beach wardrobe and now that I live in Long Beach, I enjoy watching the style of of those who visit and residents (much like when I go to SoBe - I love seeing how people dress up at the beach and oh yes, I'm one of them). So today, I bring you a semi active and snazzy beach approach. I have more bathing suits then I can count and yet, I continue to increase my collection. Casa Bikini has amazing suits of various colors and styles and I think my birthday suit (no seriously my birthday is Sept 12th and I will be in a cabana in South Beach and I absolutely love this bathing suit) will have to come from here. I love these Brazilian bathing suits and speaking of Brazil, a handbag designer that is new to me Brazilian designer, Flavia Sarno has AMAZING handbags and I'm a fan of her clutches (can't wait to include it within future spreads). I think having a gorgeous tote and a cute clutch is an absolute necessity. During the day, you must enjoy these handmade, Mother of Pearl flip flops from Bohemian Babe - based out of Hong Kong. This is perfect for walking about on the beach! For night or throughout the day in the cabana, I have to say that Jimmy Choo's Penelope is a great look! I think a bit of that 70's glam is perfect with a bathing suit and elongates the leg! To complete this fab look, I love this hook necklace by Cynthia Rowley that is apart of her Fashion and Accessories collection for Resort 2010! What a great way to have the glowing goddess look with these pieces! As always, click on the links in the spread and let me know how you head off to the beach!

Over the past few months, it's been sad to see a few of my favorite magazines go; however, I'm so pleased to see that there are amazing issues out there that are always waiting to be discovered! I was in SoBe in June and found out about SoBeFiT Magazine (click the link in the spread) which is a health magazine that although it's based in SoBe, it has an interesting approach to health. This magazine shows how women and men can exercise - this is perfect as Paul and I work together at home and it's nice that we can modify our routines for our bodies. In addition, I love that this issue looked at the way people exercise by age, making water exciting and adding some healthy elements to make it more than basic H2O! If you're into health drinks, you can make your own and you can learn how to make various foods in a healthy way! There were so many great articles that it's a good thing that each issue spans 2 months so that you have plenty of time to try out different routines and to see what you like cooking or doing! Available at various magazine stands and online, you'll enjoy making this a magazine that should never leave your coffee table (unless you're replacing it with the next one)!

If my trip did anything, it would be putting me in the right frame of mind for future trips to warm locales! Yes NY is decent in terms of temperatures but I wish it felt the way it did in SoBe. With that said, I'm going through a major renovation in my closet. I am going to embrace color (I have always preferred gray and black - but why should I be so limited and different bodies. I have recently become a fan of yellow and love green as well. Now every now and then I still love black so why not something like this? I love Roberto Cavalli's kimono/tunic style and paired over white pants, it comes off as crisp. Black shoes take on a whole new twist with these DSquared2 platforms. I love the angle of the heel and how it is an accessory in its own right! As always, I'm a fan of Ted Rossi - the eel clutch, super cute! Finally, Dannijo Harley is new to me but this silver plated cuff is perfect to add a bit of edge to this whimsical meets dancing queen look! Once again, click on the descriptions above if you're interested in getting any of these pieces!

I'm still in South Beach mode! I just got back yesterday and of course I still have a nice warm tan/glow so I can believe that I'm still there! What's the key to looking amazing when you're there or anywhere? Great accessories that look effortless. I am a HUGE fan of DVF as many of you know and I love the patchwork colors of citrus and blue that are worked within this dress. Don't let a lot of color confuse you when you're faced with this! Think about adding tones that don't fight the color and here I love the golden look - isn't that how we want to look? Of course, I think that Jimmy Choo is the perfect companion and I love the shape of the shoes (imagine when you're sitting an crossing your legs, this will look amazing). A simply necklace is perfect and this Swarovski piece from Objets d'Envy has not only been featured on the Today Show but is the perfect compliment! Longer days means that you may be going from a fab dinner to a night out so think about these sunglasses from Skyla, the perfect dusk wear as you wait for the sun to go down! Love the pieces and want them for yourself, simply click on the names in the spreadsheet and begin to get these goodies in your closet!
