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.

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.
