Come Join Me At Escape Miami Lounge


Image by; Alexander Tamargo of Alta Images

I am so flattered to be part of this year’s Escape Miami Lounge during Miami Swim Week. This year the event will be held at The National Hotel in Miami Beach and will be hosted by the hotel, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Annie Vazquez of The Fashion Poet on Saturday, July 19th from 12-5pm. The fashion and beauty retreat returns with a 3PM poolside fashion show, complimentary cocktails and bites, and spa and beauty treatments, such as haircuts and beard trims for the guys and mini manicures and beach waves for the gals. Attendees can sign up for tattoo application, get sketched by a fashion illustrator (hi Gissi!) or take a DIY flower crown making class. There’s also plenty of games and even a gentlemen’s corner added this year where the guys can hang out, have a brew and play a game of poker or dominos while the ladies can shop the latest summer trends off the runway from various local and national pop-up shops.

So much fun playing model for a day!

You can also find my mug among 44 other amazing Miami fashion bloggers in a photo exhibit called “Our Summer Stories” photographed by Alexander Tamargo. I’d absolutely love not only your support, but your company! The event has always been super fun and I think this year will be even better! It is 100% free, but you have to RSVP and fast, as the event usually sells out quickly. You can RSVP at escapemiami2.eventbrite.com.

Gold Bubble Clothing’s New Sherlock Collection

I am absolutely in love with Gold Bubble and their products, and their new Sherlock collection just tipped me over the edge. How amazing is this great set of clothing???? I especially like their A-line dresses in patterns from the show that every die-hard Sherlocked fan will recognize. They are girly and flatter every figure, which makes them the perfect option for not only cons, but also more formal events like showers and even weddings (just remember not to play that nasty murder game).

What are my must-haves from the collection?

What I Wore: Cosplay

This past weekend was Florida Supercon, which is Miami’s comic book convention. This year, it moved over to the Miami Beach Convention Center, so I was hopeful it would be an even better show. It definitely was!  Aside from all the extra space, we had more quality vendors and even more people cosplaying than ever before! I had some issues with the show’s organization, but for the most part, I’d say it was a success!

This also marked the first time I would be cosplaying, so I have to admit that I was a bit nervous. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw all our fun antics and shots of my costumes. On Saturday, I was Amy Pond to my husband’s 11th Doctor, and although I had so much fun (someone asked me in a 100% concerned voice where Rory was), I think the winner of my cosplay weekend was Hipster Ariel. I had a lot of questions as to where I bought the pieces, so I figure I would break them all down for you here on the blog. Where else!
