Miami Swim Week with Wildfox

Wildfox is generally one of the most anticipated shows of Miami Swim Week.  This year, instead of their traditional runway show, the brand opted for a nighttime, poolside presentation at the Delano Hotel. While this allowed us to get very close to the action, it was a bit difficult to photograph the looks for you because the lighting was dim, but at times, also very over exposed and harsh.

I can say, that the looks were true to the Wildfox brand; easy, and no-fuss T-shirts, pajama shorts, and crop tops.  Cheeky sayings ("Nobody Owns The Beach") on their tees and swimwear, along with oversized jumpsuits made for a fun and playful atmosphere.

The cuts on the swimwear were pretty cool too - they had styles that tied from underneath the bust, down through the torso, and also showcased halter style tops that would be really great for those among you who are more well endowed than...me :)

Swim Week Vibes with Escape Miami, and Bianca Coletti Swim

Miami Swim Week kicked off with the third annual Escape Miami party at the Shelbourne, hosted by Annie Vazquez of the Fashion Poet.  The 6 hour long fete included drinks, illustrations by The Architect of Style, henna tattoos, and lots of Miami representation from local vendors like Mia Shoes and Juicee.  A pool side fashion show featured local brands like Bianca Coletti and Please Don't Tell Shop, while a new Miami based swimwear brand, Mohini, put on their presentation in the lobby.

I wore a dress that I've worn to death lately, but I can't help it because it's so cute and it was so reasonably priced. It's from REnamed Apparel and I got it on Shopbop (check out their other dresses like this one and this)  The yellow cork wedges I'm sporting are probably the oldest thing in my closet. I have had them for years and they're still in great shape. And now they're vintage :)
