    Swimsuit Styles You can wear even if You are not 100% biquini ready

    Feeling You are not  %100 bikini ready, but You have that dreaming beach vacation coming up in the middle of the winter and you don’t have any idea which swimsuit styles you should take in your suitcase. I got the solution for you! I picked 2 swimsuit styles you can wear without any concerns for the occasion. Swimsuits remind me the times when I used to model in Miami during their high season. If You are a Model in Miami they expect you to be, a “ bikini ready on call”, for obvious reasons most of the jobs you will work there you are required to wear swimsuits. But I confess that I never felt 100% bikini ready all the times, it was always something missing and in need to be improved. Thinking about this issue I looked for swimsuit styles that you don’t need to be exactly %100 bikini ready and you still can look your best.

    Let’s start with this tribal 2 pieces swimsuit with high-waisted bottom and strips on the side look and bustier top.  This look is coming really strong for the season, it has extra coverage for your stomach with a great amount of sophistication complimenting your beach look.   (more…)

    Meat Market for Dinner Tonight!

    Looking for a nice restaurant for dinner in South Beach, Florida? Meat Market is my recommendation! I finished my trip to Miami with a delicious seasonal dinner at this fantastic place. They have numerous other locations in Florida, but the one I always go to is the original location on Lincoln Road in South Beach.

    Nice ambience, modern decor, trendy crowd, a hot spot for models; you can chat with interesting people while lounging in the bar. Or, you can run into the love of your life there who may be sitting right next you. You never know!

    The kitchen is run by chef Sean Brasel, one of the most renowned chefs in Miami. With his creativity and versatility, a classy steakhouse taste is combined with a modern touch of today which surely takes a good effort and ability to achieve such a great combination. And he most definitely has perfected it! Chef Sean has a range of options for all the tastes in his menu, catering to a salad person like me with his delicious Quinoa Salad. Or, if you’re a big fan of seafood you can start with a fresh ceviche. And, if you are a steak lover, it’s his specialty.

    I was in Miss Caipi’s colors wearing a yellow flowing dress, by Bebe, paired with a green aqua necklace  combined with my Miami sun-kissed tan! For dinner I had the famous Quinoa Salad. Obviously, for my drink I was having my refreshing Mint Caipi specially made for me by the bar. Their drink menu has different tropical drinks using herbs and refreshing ingredients. The Lychee Martini and Mojito are excellent options for a seasonal drink. I highly recommend trying them.

As a creator myself I love to exchange ideas with the great masters in the business: (more…)

    Back to the 90’s looks with Guess

    The 90’s fashion is coming back with the choker necklaces, jumpsuits, and Guess. Think the movie Clueless with Alicia Silverstone and her short plaid skirt. Or, the wide-leg pants first started from Charlie’s Angels in the 70’s. If you grew up during the 90’s, I’m sure you’ll remember Guess’s t-shirt with the famous question mark ,“?”, and their chambray looks. When I was younger, I had a little Guess dress of my own and I wore it everywhere.

    If you are a fan of the 90’s fashion like me, I have great news for you! Guess is releasing a revival line with all of your favorite pieces from the 90’s. They’re bringing back the famous chambray looks, overalls, and even the “?” t-shirt. While in Miami, I excitedly went into the Guess stores there and bought myself their jean jumpsuit. I wore it out as it was lightweight, sleek, and comfortable; perfect for the Florida weather. I loved the flare look of this piece, very in the season while again keeping that 90’s feel. I paired it with a simple straw hat, a blue bag, a choker and a pair of peep toe heels.

    Swimsuit Time in Miami

    While I was in Miami most of the work I do is outside and I intended to take full advantage of that. The ever-beautiful, Floridian weather and its golden, sunny beaches were perfect locations for photo shoots. Not only breathtakingly beautiful but relaxing. I always find time to enjoy myself even after I’ve finished my photo shoots.
