Miami Art Basel

On the last day on one of the most famous international art events held worldwide, I was finally able to attend Miami Art Basel this past weekend. Sister of the Basel held in switzerland in June, Miami hosts more than 100 exhibits and thousands of art work is exhibited all week long. Young artists, performers and Masters of Art come from around the world and display their exhibits. Art collectors also come with a check book and ready to buy pieces worth thousands of dollars. From contemporary, to conceptual to video art was exhibited, covering Wynwood district, Design district, Collins Avenue, Brickell, Midtown, and FIU's Wolfsonian (Art Museum) along with many other sectors of miami. If you're a smart miamian and planning to attend all exhibits, you probably parked your car and took the public transit to and from which was free the whole week. Two hours and several road confrontations later, we had finally made it to Miami Convention Center and the first thing we did was stuff our faces with sushi and white-chocalate dipped pretzel. Then, it was like a warp. As soon as we crossed the gate, you were in a different world. Pieces that reached as high as the ceiling, pieces in motion and video art along with bright colors and textures. Also, nothing like coming across different styles of the people that come to Miami. Enjoy my very own collection of my favorite pieces that inspired me! ^_^

Miami Art walk

Wynwood Art Walk 2011


Hello my gorgeous people!
          Known for its underground art community, Wynwood Art District Miami is home to hundreds of art galleries, starving street artists, Miami Funk fashion week, live entertainers, music venues, and hundreds of other art and culture events that are held every year here. Thankfully, the district celebrates its art culture by throwing a bloc party every second saturday of every month known as "Miami Art Walk". On this particular night, it doesn't matter if you drive a Benz or peddle a 1983 Schwinn to the event, art lovers come from all over with diverse cultures and lifestyles to celebrate. Whether to buy, sell, network, discover, promote, admire or simply grab free alcohol and ice cream, Wynwood's Art walk bloc party does it all in one night. Finally found the perfect opportunity to go with my photographer friend and hit the streets of Wynwood. It was a night full of inspiration and admiration for those who put their passion before anything. Not to mention, the incredible mix of great fashion of art goers. Check out the pics!  
With Love,

China Update!

Hey Guys,

I'm so sorry I haven't updated you guys on the remainder of my China trip, I'm out the whole day and when I get back to the hotel, all I wanna do is shower and sleep! I'll post about the past three days when I have some free time but for now you can enjoy this beautiful piece of art that I saw in the airport as soon as I walked out of customs :)

Arts Festival Las Olas

Hello my Gorgeous people!

I just wanted to share this photo I took at the Arts Festival yesterday in Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale. Although the day seemed pretty dim and gloomy, it still called for a bright spring outfit to celebrate aesthetics in Fashion!
