Fom the runways of Brazil and the warbrobes of many hot celebrities comes something out of a dream, or at least out of Miami. The Miami Beach Collection is all about tank tops, hot-pants,short-shorts & bikin tops. For a serious South Beach look add in bright, colorful bangles, like this kistch bracelet [$15.20] by Miami Beach, and sunglasses (the obvious accessory for anything summer related) to achieve it. Also, from the runways of Brazil is the perfect example of a hot boardwalk ready bikini by designer Zigfreda. This whole Miami Beach laid-back look is so easy to achieve and is quite frankly a head turner at the beach.

Chloe Dao. you may reconginze her from project runway compeition, which she won, but Chloe is an established designer with classic and shopisticated taste in clothing in our opinion. With lot 8 boutique successfully under her belt shes pretty far. but she was an early starter at the age of 10 she got her first taste of fashion from watching "Style with Elsa Klensch." on CNN, that only escalated, and thankfully it got her to her place today sitting at the top. fall in love with chloe daos new designs at http://www.lot8online.com

;;Floral Frocks;; the dress of the month is a beautiful design made by nothing other then plants. but don't dig up those daisies just yet, it's not that easy. on the hit series project runway, which is now over since the finale was a while ago, designer hopeful kara janx created this beautiful design when the contestants were presented with the task of drawing, designing, and even sewing the leaves and flowers together. of course there were many other floral creations we picked karas becasue while the others were very original as well as imaginative miss janx was the most colorful of them all and in our opinnion the most adorable thing we've ever seen. i don't know about you but i would definitaly give this a twirl at my next party, whether its a garden party or not,i love it! what do you think about karas creation of leaves and flowers?

how to attract atention to yourself 101:
1. Patterns,of course
whether its floral or polka-dots, it turns eyes toward you
2.Color, isn't that obvious?
why pucker up to a red lipstick or throw on a hot pink taffeta dress?
why not?
3. A bomb-shell of a dress
a dress that grabs your eyes at a store will surly grab the eyes of everyone around you.

Mix it UP for the Spring

stuck with the winter blues, the leftover spring pieces,
the reds and greens of fall, and the summer tank tops that
where longforgotten in the back of your cluttered closet?
why not mix and match your tired warbrobe together ?
throw on your winter ugg boots with cropped capris,
those fall tights underneath, a sweater over a patternd
summer cami and your set. don't be afriad to mix it up.
follow these three simple rules to achieve a spring mixed & matched closet:
1) don't be afriad of patterns. there always cuter when
there mixed with a whole different type of pattern
2) color is the always key, in this case you'll be able to
do what you chose with different colours, so don't shy away
3) don't spend an hour trying to get athis kind of look,
if you just throw on some great pieces it will look great
and it will say "i didn't even have to try" . it will flow
and look carefree, isn't that what summers all about?
4) most important rule: have fun.
