Whitney Port attends the Mara Hoffman 2012 Resort Collection Show in Miami Beach

Designer Mara Hoffman brought her signature bohemian inspired swimwear to Miami Beach last night during her show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. On Saturday, July 16th, reality star Whitney Port attended Mara Hoffman's show to see the new 2012 Resort collection at The Raleigh Hotel. After traveling to countries like Egypt and Mexico, Mara Hoffman presented a mystical and tribal collection featuring bold and colorful prints. My favorite highlights included colorful embroideries inspired by Mexican Serapes and images of "King Tut" on a one piece swimsuit [pictured below]. I also noticed a new trend in swimwear this year: the high-waisted bikini! You'll notice some bikinis in Mara Hoffman are accentuated by beads and colorful straps. Hoffman's designs are highly sought after by celebrities like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Ashley Tisdale and Blake Lively. This is definitely a collection to keep your eyes on because it is unique in every way!

This was a beautiful look from the Mara Hoffman collection.


This olive colored swimsuit had a matching beach bag which I know you'll love! Feel free to drop me your comments on the new 2012 Resort collection below this post.


AMAZING! This high-waisted bikini bottom was my favorite look from the show. Do you think this new trend will grow quickly?


Check out this handbag full of colorful tassels. Everyone took a second look at this one as the model came strutting down the catwalk...enjoy! Here's a video from the grand finale of the Mara Hoffman show last night. Visit Hoffman's website for more information on the brand.

Review: Lea Black's Skin Care Collection

Sazoneros! I hope you've been having a great start to the New Year! Since most of you are probably looking for ways to improve your beauty regime this year, I thought I'd share a wonderful skin care collection that I recently discovered. Most of you may know Lea Black from Bravo's Real Housewives of Miami but Mrs. Black is a thriving author and entrepreneur who developed an awesome anti-aging skin care collection along with an array of beautifully bedazzled handbags and accessories. Check out one of her gorgeous clutches in the image above as well as a few of the products I recently tried at home. From Lea's anti-aging serum to her easy-to-use sudden youth facial kit, it's been a fun way to kick up my anti-aging strategies now that I'm entering my beloved thirties! You may be surprised to know that Mrs. Black created her exclusive facial kit in 1984 and since then, its become the top selling combination for women across the country. A luxurious facial masque th…

Versace's former mansion transformed into a boutique luxury hotel: The Villa By Barton G.

Image
One of Miami's most iconic properties, Gianni Versace's former mansion, has been transformed and renovated by Barton G. Weiss. If this name rings a bell, it may be because Barton G. also owns two restaurants in Miami- Prelude by Barton G. at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and Barton G. The Restaurant on South Beach. Barton's latest venture: The Villa by Barton G., a boutique luxury hotel he officially opened in March 2010. After a one million dollar renovation, the villa hotel now features 10 custom suites as well as the mansion's famous Thousand Mosaic Pool and Gardens. Did I mention they also have a restaurant, a rooftop lounge and a spa? Barton G. has truly combined his signature designs with Versace's over the top lifestyle to revive this Ocean Drive beauty.
