Fashion for a Cause!! Fighting breast cancer in a fashionable way.

Miami Fashion Bloggers Unite in a Photo Campaign to Raise Money for Breast Cancer to be on Exhibit during Art Walk on October 13
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.” 
Designed by Local Annie Vazquez of TheFashionPoet.com, the tee retails for $25 and proceeds benefit The Florida Foundation for Breast Cancer.


 Available in sizes small to xl, the top will be sold at boutiques such as My Best Friend’s Closet in Coral Gables, Lilac and Lilies in Ft.Lauderdale, Guy and Girl in South Beach, BrandOneThree.com and on Saturday, October 13 during Art Walk at the grand opening launch of Wynwood Squat where the photos of all twenty-six fashion bloggers will be on exhibit from 7 to 11 P.M. Wynwood Squat (wynwoodsquat.com) is free giant pop up which features 40 plus designers, artists, and entrepreneurs with monthly rotating art and video installations, live music and DJ, specialty cocktails and bites.

Falling for Dark Lips


It's officially Fall, and it's time to trade in your candy-colored lipsticks for more sophisticated, sultry shades.  

The key to perfect this look is to keep the focus on the lips and leave everything else minimal.  My favorite way to wear this look is to perfect the skin with a tinted moisturizer topped with a light dusting of powder on the t-zone.  Contour the face: the cheekbones, around the forehead, and under the jawbone.  Lightly fill in the eyebrows, and apply mascara.  I prefer brown mascara for a softer look.  A liquid highlighter (Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten) on top of the cheekbones and on the inner corners of the eyes is a beautiful touch.  
Apply a dark shade of lipstick to complete this vampy look.  Dark plum, maroon, deep red, and brown are all perfect colors.  Keep it modern and undone by applying the lipstick with your finger tips to ensure soft edges, or apply it directly from the tube and soften the edges with a cotton swab.  Blot lightly with a tissue paper and reapply for long-lasting lips.  If desired, top with a creamy lip balm such as Smith's Rosebud Salve.


My Favorite shades for Fall:

Cyber by MAC (deep purple)
#49 Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense (deep purpled wine)
Cherry Chocolate by Mehron (rich cherry brown)
Black Cherry by Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick (deep blood-red)
Vamp by Chanel Hydrabase (dark red-berry)
