One of the best parts of the weekend was seeing these two beauties, Rosa (fabgirlmag.com) & Netty (thefashionableesq.blogspot.com)

Although I did not have time to attend all of this past week’s fashion events that make up the Mercedes-Benz Swim Week here in Miami, I was able to swing by to some on Saturday. I have a small confession to make: these events can make me all of a sudden feel very introverted. I usually feel a little uncomfortable since I can be pretty shy in novel situations, but the Escape Lounge held in the Sagamore Hotel made me feel so welcome! Hosted by the lovely Annie Vazquez (better known as The Fashion Poet), it included a photobooth, nail bar, makeup station and complimentary braids from the amazing Blo Bar.

Seriously, how great is this???? For the final look, check out my Instagram.

I loved how inviting the lounge felt, and combined with the gorgeous interior design of the hotel, I couldn’t help but feel refreshed and relaxed. Later, we attended the ASOS Penthouse party at the Soho Beach House, where we were gifted with the most gorgeous rooftop terrace view of Miami Beach and of course, beautiful models showing off their swimwear. I think we were so entranced, we must have forgotten to take pictures (ooops!). Thankfully, this adorable Miami blogger did not.

Overall, I felt very flattered and honored that I was graced with admission into these great parties, and I can’t wait to be experience more. And for those fashionistas, check out the blog tomorrow for an outfit post!
