Girls’ Night In: Rebi’s Closet
Shopping from home while sipping on a glass of wine and paying less than boutique prices for the same brands easily makes me a fan of Rebi’s Closet – even though she’s also one of my closest friends. Sometimes, the fashion gods are giving.
Benetton Beach Bash on Collins
Benetton will be celebrating its new summer collection with music, discounts, and frozen yogurt to cool you off. If you’re in the area, stop by and enjoy the treats. I’ve checked out their lookbook and can promise their upcoming selection is covet-able and perfect for the balmy summer we’re inevitably headed for. Hope to see you there!
Outfit Post: Date Night
Date nights took on a very special meaning when Lucy was born. Personally, I had no idea what to expect in terms of managing our personal time with a baby in our lives. So the fact that we have amazing family members who will watch her while we go out and enjoy some time as Mr. and Mrs. is incredibly precious – and exactly what we need at the end of a long week of changing diapers. Last weekend, we grabbed a couple of drinks at DRB before catching the Bruno Mars concert (major husband brownie points). Seeing as to how I’m a wife and mom now, I went for a Betty Draper meets Wednesday Adams feel. No sense in losing one’s identity, after all…
Miami Fashion Week 2013: Rosa Clara Bridal
Miami Fashion Week’s fifteenth anniversary included a luxury wedding pavilion showcasing a variety of international bridal designers. But among them, Rosa Clara Bridal was clearly distinct. The world-renowned designer displayed a collection that is beyond the usual bridal fluff. Shown here are some stunningly graceful pieces with a whole lot of glamour and edge, created for the woman who wants to wear something truly unique on one of the most memorable days of her life. (I’d give anything to wear that last one.) You can visit Rosa Clara locally in Miami at 365 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables.

Miami Fashion Week 2013: Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli, a designer whose name has been prevalent in the fashion industry since the early seventies, presented a capsule collection at Miami Fashion Week’s fifteenth anniversary show, complete with all the exotic prints that have been woven into his designs for years. Having just shown new prints and shapes at Milan Fashion Week that he hopes will convey to his “fans all over the world that Roberto Cavalli is back,” the Italian designer’s pieces were nothing if not bold.

Miami Fashion Week 2013: Krizia
Italian designer Krizia displayed a capsule collection at Miami Fashion Week as part of the European Designer Showcase. Known to include modern and pop art influences in her garments, the collection, shown above, incorporated graphic prints, geometric cuts, and a decidedly empowering take on the feminine aesthetic. Krizia also included her signature beast, a nod to the aggressive and savage jungle animal – a reference to the pieces that ultimately become “Krizia’s Zoo.”

Style Week Resort in Miami
I wish I was cool enough to deliver this post to you without having to admit to the perpetual sense of excitement I’ve been feeling since Friday. But the truth is that half the time I was in awe of the fact that I was seated directly behind Project Accessory designers Nina Cortes and Brian Burkhardt (my two favorites), and the other half of the time was spent wondering how I’d managed to get my name on the guest list for what I have affectionately dubbed as Project Runway heaven.
I’m embarrassed to admit I was a little starstruck. But it’s not very often that Miami gets to experience a CFDA-approved fashion week aimed at launching the careers of emerging (and seriously talented) designers — though we seem to have had our healthy share of events as of late. And though I’m always quite vocal about my often-confounded feelings about this city, there is a sense of pride for my hometown in knowing we not only hosted Style Week Resort but did it with ease and delivered what now seems like the obviously natural fit for this event.
Project Runway alumns Jonathan Joseph Peters and Janeane Marie delivered clean, chic, and quite wearable pieces, JJP with beautifully colored lace and JM with sleek, geometric style. Alessandra Gold offered up deliciously urban flair with a small crew ceremoniously break-dancing their way through the closing.
I’m still relishing in the buzz of fresh fashion and the possibility of such caliber events finding a permanent home in our backyard. But you can make up your own mind: Check out the styles for yourself by heading over to SoFlaNights.com’s recap page. Let me know what you think in the comments.
MMIFW ’12 Recap
Another day, another fashion week in Miami. Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week (say that three times fast) made its debut last night at LMNT in Midtown, just a couple of months after Miami Beach International Fashion Week wrapped its shows. And while both aim to make a name for Miami in the fashion-sphere, MMIFW hopes to distinguish itself by focusing on “designers that are on the cusp” of recognition. Though that remains as yet to be seen, you can still indulge in pics from last night’s events from the perspective of my plastic wine cup. *Clink*
P.S. Did you spot the potential future Housewife?
P.P.S. Props to the student designers for strutting their stuff last night. Here’s to hoping your names become household fodder.
