tomorrow, my 22 day countdown starts - I can't wait to be in Miami and cruise around Grand Cayman and Jamaica for the holidays. all i need are some essential statement pieces for Miami and when you think Miami - you think Emilio Pucci. Although Peter Dundas, 2013 resort collection was a lot more urban you can't doubt his sexy caftans, v-necks, slick pencil skirts and printed romper in classic blue and white embroidered pieces for the true Miami girl. NOW, I obviously wouldn't wear my winter Eugenia Kim turban in Miami (that's my own little gift for my trip back home to NY) but I would definitely mix in these seawater statement crystal embellished pieces by Karla Castillo and Etro - and for the perfect red hot Miami color, this Adriana Castro sling handbag.

Essentials: Spring Break 2012

My beach / Spring Break essentials definitely include short shorts, extra large beach tote, fedoras (yes, multiple fedoras) and tanning oil bronzer! Shorts, just like trousers can easily transition into a hot outfit just by adding a long simple necklace or fringed necklace and wedges - with an excellent tan and cucumber moisture before heading out for some salsa dancing, there will be no need to cake makeup on. Where you heading this Spring Break?

Moodboard : White Hot Miami Heat

Inspired by my beloved basketball team and birth city, I give you my little mood board on WHITE. During our home games, the Miami Heat team and fans all wear white and during the hot summer that is slowwwly approaching NYC, white is also slowwwly coming into stores like the H&M Conscious collection. My celebrity of choice is latina and Miami resident, Jennifer Lopez - don't you remember "If You Had My Love" ?
