Fashionistas...are you ready? I have amazing news for you: Village of Merrick Park announced the debut of their new signature event called "In the Now." The upscale shopping destination is rolling out this fabulous two-day fashion and trend event to introduce fashionistas to the latest collections at Village of Merrick Park, while raising funds for charity. My favorite combo indeed!! The inaugural event will include a special appearance by Nigel Barker (pictured on the left), celebrity fashion photographer, former America’s Next Top Model judge and currently the host of The Face on the Oxygen Network. Barker will be taking photos with some top shoppers from the day at Village of Merrick Park, and discuss the latest beauty and fashion trends from around the world.

During the weekend event, Barker will unveil his latest photo exhibition RAW: Presented by Rock Paper Photo, with 10 percent of all sales of the photos going to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

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.

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

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.
