Fall is here, or so they say, but in balmy Miami that means something different from the rest of the world’s fashion capitals. I talked to 10 of Miami’s top fashion bloggers (and threw in a couple of street style photographers, for good measure) and asked them how they’re interpreting fall trends. I’m hearing enthusiasm over menswear and tomboy inspired pieces, punk rock and ’90s throwbacks, and rich hues, like emerald green and grey. For Annie Vazquez and Mayleen Gonzalez’s […]

Beauty: High/Low Maintenance
I’m going to attempt to write a beauty post, which seems kind of silly because I like to think of myself as the queen of low maintenance. I think a natural look is the prettiest look. But maybe that’s the point. After all, if you’ve got a good routine, you don’t have to waste a lot of time fussing and searching for products. I’ve recently hit the sweet spot when it comes to my beauty products, and I thought I’d share.

Anthony Lister, ‘Do As Thou Wilt’
Inside Robert Fontaine Gallery’s pristine white showroom in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, ballerinas are twirling and leaping around the walls. Their diaphanous tutus are saturated with color splashing like splattered paint and dripping from their bodies. They’re dressed in red, yellow, purple, blue, black, and pink. Their skeletons are sometimes exposed, like an x-ray, offering a peek at the fine-tuning and muscular mechanics behind their fluid motion. These are the works of Australian street artist Anthony Lister, a man who […]

A Miamian’s Guide To Key West
Thanks to an invitation from Robert Fontaine of the Robert Fontaine Gallery in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, I spent last weekend in Key West. Along with a group of about 20 people, we were there to celebrate the opening of Nick Gentry’s solo show XCHANGE–running now through May 4. Having lived in Key West for about four years before moving to Miami, it was sort of like two worlds colliding. We spent much of the long, leisurely weekend relaxing around […]

Nick Gentry’s XCHANGE: Man or Machine?
Studying one of Nick Gentry’s portraits, a pair of steely eyes look back at you with a stoic, unsmiling, sometimes stunned, expression. The face is decidedly beautiful–almost too beautiful–with perfect proportions and symmetry, hair smooth and sleek, often slicked away from the face to further show off large, luscious lips, an attractive jawline, a delicate collarbone. The London-based artist paints these large scale portraits onto a canvas of used floppy disks. His newest works are light box portraits composed of […]

The Tale Of The Traveling New Year’s Club
It all started on a kibbutz in the Negev Desert at the brink of a New Year. I was a college girl from the University of Georgia exploring the Holy Land on winter break with Birthright Israel. Little did I know that on those long bus rides from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea and Tel Aviv to Tzvat, sitting next to my new friend Lisa, I was sparking a friendship that would stand the test of time for over a […]
