Marie Claire - What I love about me.

Do you ever feel like people constantly focus too much on the things that they don't love about themselves? I do. I hear it all the time from friends, models, strangers, and I've been one to put myself down from time to time as well, but when you say negative things about yourself it only creates more negativity and a lower self-esteem. Focus on what you love about yourself from the inside and out and don't let the negative thoughts control your subconscious. 

Catch a glimpse of me in this month's 
April issue of Marie Claire!!

Twenty-six of Miami’s top fashion bloggers are joining forces during the month of October to help raise funds for breast cancer in a fashion campaign that showcases how stylish it is to give back and raise awareness for a good cause. The bloggers over a 3-day period were photographed by, Getty photographer Alexander Tamargo at the Shelborne hotel in South Beach wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Fashion for a Cause.”

The Orchid Boutique ~ Braids & Bikinis event.

Holly and I attended the Braids & Bikinis event last night at The Orchid Boutique. I have truly found the number one spot for swim wear shopping in all of Miami. If you're looking for a swim suit that can only be pulled off by the bold and beautiful, then you simply need to know all about the swim wear that The Orchid Boutique carries in their South Beach store location and their online shop, www.theorchidboutique.com.
