Miami Fashion Week

Yesterday I was invited to a fashion show called Cosmo Splash, sponsored by Covergirl, Pantene, and Cosmopolitan. I know you have already seen this outfit, I wore it as part of the AM-PM challenge- but, as I said there, I was saving it to this event. Also, I changed the accessories while keeping the color-blocking intact. We (Tati from Furor, my bf and I) got there very early, so we had time to socialize with other bloggers and media, we had some cocktails and got ready for the fashion show. My boyfriend was the official photographer, he looked like he had so much fun shooting the models ( he even had a spot with all the media). He took amazing pictures, they look so professional, I will dedicate a full post to show you my favorite looks on the runway and some trends I saw. Sofía Vergara's sister sang before the show- she's the one wearing a maxi leopard dress in the pictures below; and then, several designers presented their swimsuit/summer collections. It was so much fun, I'm very grateful because I was there thanks to all your support! I hope you have a great weekend and, again, thank you for stopping by! YOU ROCK!

Ayer tuve la oportunidad de ir al fashion show llamado Cosmo Splash, patrocinado por CoverGirl y Pantene. Se que algunas van a decir que estoy repitiendo el outfit del reto (del día a la noche), pero como les dije en ese post: este outfit lo estaba guardando para este vento. Le cambié todos los accesorios, pero lo que más llama la atención (los bloques de color de la falda/camisa) sigue siendo el mismo. Fui con Tati de Furor y llegamos bastante temprano, y tuvimos tiempo de compartir con otras blogueras, tomarnos unos tragos, y prepararnos para el show. Mi novio estuvo de fotógrafo profesional, tenía su espacio con toda la prensa para tomarles fotos a las modelos (hoy les dejo un pequeño adelanto pero mañana quiero compartir con ustedes los looks que más me gustaron y algunas tendencias que ví, ¿les parece bien?). Antes de empezar el show, la hermana de Sofía Vergara cantó unas canciones (la pueden ver abajo con un vestido largo de leopardo). Después varias diseñadores presentaron colección dedicada a la parte de traje de baño y verano. Perdonen que todavía no les he contado como me va en la universidad ni hemos publicado el reto pero pronto todo regresará a la normalidad. Feliz fin de semana a todas! Que la pasen buenísimo, gracias por visitar el blog- gracias a ustedes es que se me dan estas oportunidades tan asombrosas y estoy infinitamente agradecida.

Fashion and The Beach

Just returned from my crazy week in San Diego where I showed a "preview" of my NIKOLAKI Resort/Spring 2008 Collection at an event at the W Hotel organized for me at their fabulous Beach Bar. As you know, I love telling a story and this was no exception.My collection was based on Cleopatra arriving in Rome to look for her Marc Antony, but in 2008! And these were the fabulous dresses she had in her Louis Vuitton trunks. Here are a couple of shots from the runway show, which went well: No models falling, no broken high heels, no ripped seams or broken zippers! The model in the aquamarine silk gown is , in fact, my sister Rita, former Survivor: Fiji contestant, who flew out, along with my whole family , from San Antonio, Texas .The press, media and guests I spoke to said that it was a complete success. They loved the show and the collection. From backstage ,I could see people's jaw dropping and could hear the "oohs and ahhs", which I guess is a good reaction.
Prior to Thursday night's show, I did several TV morning talk shows--NBC, FOX and local KUSI--promoting the event, fashion show and my "celebrity bartending".
