Miami Magazine presents "Splashion" at LIV Nightlcub to kick-off Swim Week in Miami!

Miami is officially getting sexier by the minute! Swim Week has arrived my Sazoneros and I'm so excited to bring you all of the highlights from the shows I'll be attending. Last night, Miami Magazine hosted their fourth annual Splashion event at LIV Nightclub inside the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. This gnarly beach themed fashion show featured swimwear collections by BECCA by Rebecca Virtue, Betsey Johnson, Jag, Jantzen, Perry Ellis, Masquenada and La Martina [to name a few]. Guests enjoyed Cointreau cocktails and Voga Italia Wines while indulging in complimentary beauty demonstrations by Elemis Spa and Rik Rak Salon. This was definitely the place to be seen last night so make sure you check out the video I added to this post if you missed it!

DJ Irie (pictured above) was bringing his hottest beach beats to Splashion last night! I love running into him in Miami because he's always happy and making everyone dance to his music. In case you missed him during Irie Weekend, make sure you check out his recently launched Irie Foundation.

Overall, it was a wonderful evening with friends, music and swimwear! Hope you enjoy my video clip from last night's grand finale. Are you ready for SWIM WEEK?

Betsey Johnson presents a "Sailor Betsey" Fashion Show at Grand Central Miami

Betsey Johnson is best known for her over the top style and her fearless sense of fashion. On Saturday, April 2nd, I headed over to Downtown Miami to check out a "Sailor" inspired Betsey Johnson Fashion Show at Grand Central Miami. This was one of the funnest fashion shows I've seen in a long time. The runway was packed with beach balls, colorful swimsuits and adorable sailor themed jumpsuits. Throughout the show, the crowd danced to the beats of Mike Deuce and Josh LeCash while enjoying the various looks Betsey had to offer! I also recognized one of my dearest friends on the catwalk: Damaris Aquiar, Miss Carnaval Miami 2011 [pictured on the left]. Cheers to a fabulous show and a truly creative collection!
