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.

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.
