Art Basel: Miami

Art Basel is a art exhibition staged in Basel, Miami, and Hong Kong. It's a very cultural event bringing over 300 artists from all over the world and attracts people with an appreciation for modern and contemporary art. Needless to say, the fashion-go-getters come out to play and in Miami you never know what you're going to see. Through some press research I found some of my favorite fashion moments that went down this year.

NYE Natural's

I always believe in less is more and this New Years Eve the best way to be noticed is to be a natural. It's not always about being dressed to the 9's in sequins and sparkle from head to toe, it's about having the right balance between simplicity and decadence. Some lovely ladies of Pinterest have posted some great photo's of NYE inspired looks that are sure to steal the spotlight, yet look so "cool" and effortless.

This one is my absolute favorite!

So chic and fun!

It's winter here in Florida and I've pulled out my leggings and cardigans to bear the cold weather. At this point I always get envious of those that actually get to transition there wardrobe for the winter more drastically. Thanks to WWD, I got some great snap shots of the trendy folks in Manhattan taking on the cold during their holiday shopping. Sooooo jealous...

You all look amazing!

Have We Met?

Ladies... Meet TOBI. Your new best friend, your visa's worst enemy.

TOBI is a up-and-coming trendy internet fashion site where there are pages after pages after pages of clothing and accessories all under $100 and mostly in the $19 - $45 range! It's pretty much a spawn of NastyGal, carrying very similar items while also offering a plethora of inventory at your fingertips. To bring to the table an important topic of discussion, is NastyGal's more "Selective" approach better than TOBI's "We Have It All" outlook? Some food for thought, Sophia Amoruso started out living in her step-aunt's cottage with a side project on ebay, NastyGal, and now last year sold $100 million in revenue. NastyGal has become one of the fastest growing retailers in the country and has an exclusive clothing line all there own. Will TOBI be able to make this same success trying a different approach? From a business standpoint would you put a little less focus on what your selling and focus on mass merchandising? Or will the competition prevail? Compare the two sites below and tell me what you think!

Timing Is Everything

"Going Solo"

In this fall inspirational video from Vogue, Georgia May Jagger, tries out this season's newest trend of single strand necklaces for last months October issue.

Who Are You Wearing Zoe?!

I am in love with the outfit Zoe Kravitz is wearing in this photo! IDK who it is, but I want to get my hands on the real deal. Maybe it's Alexander Wang since he's her escort in this photo... (playing fashion detective).

VMAN

If you have any interest in men's fashion THIS magazine is IT! VMAN is celebrating it's 30th issue and I'm about halfway through and I feel the need to share it with the world. The advertisements are killer and the trends are so unpredictable and amazing. Each page blows my mind. And if men's fashion isn't your thing then just enjoy the models.

Whatcha think?

And Then There Was Thai Fashion

Before our flight back to the USA we found ourselves in the maze of all mazes during the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok. This place is the biggest market I could ever imagine. A playground full of indie fashion designers just getting a start, modern furniture that would blow your mind, and gifts for family and friends for days. The experience was awe inspiring as I found myself in a sea of amazing fashion that I felt no one else knew about. With nothing but a backpack to put stuff in I had to keep calm and selectively shop on, but this was a shopping experience I'll never forget.

GAGA SHOP

GAGA himself taking a photo of me with my first GAGA purchase, a neon orange oversized sweater with black tribal design.

My babes got a fabulous fitted dress shirt from these guys.

HOB "I Made It Myself"

Seriously, the most amazing handbags ever created.

These start out as plain leather bags and an artist paints them to give each bag a distinguished, one-of-a-kind look. Truly major fashion.

Rough night.

VOGUE FNO: BANGKOK 2013

In my recent travels to Thailand I was one of the lucky attendants for Vogues Fashion's Night Out in Bangkok! This had to be one of my top 5 favorite things to ever do in my life. This was so real, so random, and so fabulous. Honestly a once in a lifetime sort of deal and I could never be more thankful to Vogue and to the absolute amazing fashion that Bangkok's people had to offer. Mind you I had been backpacking for 3 weeks and this was not planned... otherwise I would've dressed a little more fun but I played it safe... damn...

This adorable girl was running around trying to put lipstick on everyone! She stole the party.
