It starts tonight! Yesterday was the kick off party at The Raleigh Hotel and now the runways come alive when the sun begins to go down. What a great way to see all of your shows and then head right out to whatever parties are going on. Here is an image, courtesy of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Show, from Red Carter who will show tomorrow evening. I love this bathing suit that is a great mix of ethnic/tribal prints!

This is definitely my favorite suit. I love the pops of blue and the red that are throughout this suit. Also can we talk about the fact that the jewelry they used would be amazing with so many dresses that you have in your closet whether they are plunging, strapless and more! I will definitely have images of this show and can't wait to share this and much more with you from the show!

I think these shorts are super cute and definitely put me in the mind set of being at home, on your roofdeck, your friend's balcony, etc. They are so cute and just easy to wear even on the hottest of days. The Kritik Soto Short, available on ShopBop, has a little sassy sweet blend going on with its ruche detailing, ribbed elastic banding and mesh at the hem. It's not only available in this sunny color but also grey and white which I am such a fan of! If you love the shorts, you'll love the cute top that is paired with this; however, I would just wear this with a tank or wear it to cover up your bathing suit when you are running downstairs to grab more beverages from your local bodega!

Now that we're heading into the whole winter, it makes me think about half day Fridays, Hampton summer shares and quick weekends somewhere in the sun! With that in mind, I turn to my favorite thoughts - bathing suits. I am a huge fan of Tyler Rose Swimwear. I have a few suits and I love how sexy you look when you wear these suits. There is no way that you can go unnoticed when you wear this - your inner dive definitely comes out in these suits! You can't go wrong when it comes to black and white and I LOVE the bandeau. This is perfect for moments in the Hamptons or South Beach. The Casablanca Suit makes me think of the large straw brim hat with a nice black bow (yes I do wear this when I'm out on the beach), espadrilles and of course large sunglasses. I love the idea of bringing back a bit of that old Hollywood glamour which is perfect no matter where you go. With all the ties and mini keyhole this is absolutely a must to have in your collection!

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.
