Kooey Australia Spring/Summer 2013 Swimwear

Miss USA Olivia Culpo and me
The Kooey Australia Spring/Summer 2013 presentation took place at the gorgeous Raleigh Hotel penthouse during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. Designed by Nikki Silverthorne, the new collection featured beautiful tailored pieces in a selection of colors like pink, blue, teal, orange, purple and black. During the presentation the room was buzzing with sun-kissed guests who mingled and indulged in a sampling of complimentary cheese, crackers, fruit and cocktails. One of the guests was the lovely Miss USA Olivia Culpo whom I had a chance to meet.

One of my favorites from the new 2013 collection was the below teal bikini with tie-dye like bottoms. I love the color combination for this piece and how it shows just enough skin. Generally the whole collection focused on similar body flattering looks.

Reporting From Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim


I'm so excited to reveal that I’m covering Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim right now at the historic Raleigh Hotel in Miami until July 23. 

It’s my first time attending Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim as well as traveling to the sunshine state. I’ve been to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York and Berlin and now I'm so excited to add Miami to my list. My dream is to travel is to cover every Fashion Week around the world.  

I’m staying at the beautiful Marseilles Hotel which is across the street from the beach and right next door to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim at the Raleigh Hotel. I’m so thankful to them for offering to be the official sponsor of my stay while I’m in town to cover Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I’ll have more about my exciting stay at the hotel in a later blog post. 

Aside from blogging I will also be excessively tweeting, posting on Facebook, uploading videos to YouTube, using Instagram and pinning to Pinterest. Be sure to follow all five of my social channels for exclusive content from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim!
