RAFAEL CENNAMO's Opulent Vacation Inspired Resort 2014 Preview


Visiting the Rafael Cennamo showroom was everything I imagined it would be and more. A sea of couture gowns for Resort 2014 collection hung delicately in his beautifully decorated showroom. Taking a closer look I was mesmerized by the amount of detail that went into each piece. Rafael meticulously applied every precious stone, sequin and jewel like an artist would paint a picture with each stroke of a brush.

Rafael’s inspiration for Resort 2014 was based around a luxury vacation; think coral, beaches, sand and water. It’s all about the magical escape into a luxurious abyss. The statement colors for Resort 2014 were coral and vibrant fuchsia.

Nanette Lepore's Stylish Home Collection Preview


Nanette Lepore invited me to preview her first ever ‘Nanette Lepore Villa’ home collection in partnership with Peking Handicraft inc.

I’ve always admired Nanette’s work as a designer. She’s known for using brilliant colors and evocative prints which she masterfully infused into her new home collection. The vibrant color palette included cobalt blue, teal, fuchsia and emerald.

Each of the bedspreads looked so beautiful and comfortable that I couldn't resist jumping in bed for a photo! One of my favorites was the above blue peacock embroidered bed set.

Coco Rocha Inspired Photoshoot: Wearing Fossil Sunglasses, Echo Scarf, Michael Kors Shoes & More!


Supermodel Coco Rocha is such an inspiration to me when it comes to modeling. She always pushes the envelope in every single shot. I love the way she poses and jumps when taking photos so I decided to attempt to do the same in my own photoshoot. I don’t think my modeling was a ringer for hers but it was definitely fun to try! 

I wore my favorite high low blue dress by Cefian which I paired with Michael Kors Berkley Leather T-Strap Sandals. You’ll see me sporting these babies in a few of my upcoming posts as well because aside from being a gorgeous pair shoes they’re also very comfortable. When you see 5 inch heels you don’t typically equate them with comfort but these literally feel like you’re walking on air! 

I completed my look with Fossil Sunglasses, Echo scarf and a LOGUE London belt which I was recently gifted. 

The Fossil sunglasses are the perfect shades for Summer as their versatile appearance fits almost every look from a dress to more casual-wear. 

I had so much fun playing around with the Echo Design scarf in the Summer breeze. It felt like I was wearing a beautiful abstract painting which literally enveloped my look in splashes of color.  

OUTFIT RECAP: 
Sunglasses: Fossil
Dress: Cefian 
Belt: LOGUE London
Shoes: Michael Kors
Scarf: Echo
