Cubavera hosts a Cuban inspired Fashion Show to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

Cubavera, Miami’s own Latin inspired fashion brand, kicked off Hispanic Heritage Month along with Ocean Drive Magazine and Miami International University of Art and Design by hosting a 1950's Cuban themed fashion show on Thursday, September 22nd. Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres by Macys Catering, authentic Cuban cocktails by Bacardi and a special musical performance by Axis. During the event, I ran into Suzy Buckley (pictured below along with Anastasia), Editor-In-Chief of Ocean Drive Magazine, and I also spotted celebrity guest Maria Celeste Arraras (pictured on the left), host of Al Rojo Vivo on Telemundo. In the true spirit of Hispanic Heritage Month, students from Miami International University of Art and Design were invited to showcase their own Guayabera inspired designs for the chance to take home the grand prize of $1000 and an exclusive paid internship at Perry Ellis International’s headquarters in Miami. It was definitely a festive night full of fashion, live Latin music and inspiration from all of the talented young designers in attendance. Viva la Hispanidad!

A beautiful look from the Cubavera runway show in Miami.

The trendy venue where the event took place was super modern and chic (located in the heart of the MiMo District- Miami Event Space- 7619 NE 4th Court).

There was a photo booth at the event...had to strike a pose!

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…
