The Miami fashion scene is getting its bearings and Miami Fashion Week is one of the fixtures at its helm. As fate would have it, I was in New York for most of the week/weekend but I did get the chance to make the kick-off press conference and party on May 15. That night I joined local and international fashion bloggers at the Eden Roc Miami Beach to toast fashion and dance the night away. Immerse yourself in the contagious energy of the Miami Fashion Week Kick-Off Party with my favorite photos of the night.
La moda en Miami esta encontrando su lugar en la escena internacional y Miami Fashion Week es uno de los eventos que le ha ayudado a establecerse a nivel mundial. Como frecuentemente me pasa a mi, mi viaje a Nueva York coincidió con muchos de los eventos y por lo tanto no pude asistir. Pero tuve la suerte de atender la primera conferencia para la prensa y el after party con otras blogueras de moda locales e internacionales en el Eden Roc Miami Beach. En la fiesta brindamos a la moda y bailamos toda la noche. Disfruta de la energía contagiosa del Miami Fashion Week Kick-Off Party con mis fotos favoritas de la noche.
#ThankYouMiami primarily presents the Miami lifestyle from a local's perspective. So I was intrigued when Ashley Vaccarino from travel fashion blog and e-commerce brand, Arrive Chic, asked me to view Miami from a visitor's perspective. Last week, I shared with her and her audience three reasons why visitors can't help but say #ThankYouMiami. Click on the excerpt below for the full feature.

Miami is amazing because our locals are amazing. This month, in honor of Haitian Heritage Month, Société Perrier gave a nod to some of these amazing locals. Check out the six Miami-based creatives of Haitian descent they are saluting this month by clicking on the images below. You will recognize their work from our museums, restaurants, and magazines. Way to go, Miami!
A huge thanks to Caroline from I Heart Miami 305 for the intel she provided on Miami's Haitian community. You are my favorite Miami Haitian!
Which of these Haitian creatives' work do you recognize? Who are your favorite Miami-based Haitian influencers? How are you celebrating Haitian Heritage Month? What other amazing locals would you like to salute? Leave a comment below or send me a tweet @ThankYouMiami!
Have you ever had an experience that was so much fun you couldn't help but smile? For me, the Premios Billboard 2014 was it. I was over the moon when Telemundo Media invited me to join other bilingual Miami bloggers to the Blogger Cafecito for the Billboard Latin Music Awards. It turns out the promise of coffee, pastelitos, and a behind-the-scenes sneak peek were just the tip of the iceberg. Join me in reliving with photos this unique opportunity that is yet another reason to say #ThankYouMiami! Thank you to Telemundo Media, Samsung, Target, and all other sponsors that made this experience possible.
¿Alguna vez has disfrutado tanto de una experiencia que no podías dejar de sonreír? Para mi, los Permios Billboard 2014 fue esa experiencia. Estaba súper emocionada cuando Telemundo Media me invitó a convivir con otras bloggers bilingües en el Blogger Cafecito de los Premios Billboard. Pronto descubrí que la promesa de café, pastelitos, y un anticipo en exclusiva del evento eran solo el comienzo. ¡Acompañame a revivir esta oportunidad única a través de fotos para aprender porque los Premios Billboard 2014 son otra razón para decir #ThankYouMiami! Gracias a Telemundo Media, Samsung, Target, y todos los otros patrocinadores que hicieron esta experiencia posible.
