End your summer right with Floatopia! Come join us Sat Sept. 14!

For newbies, Floatopia is an epic party on innertubes that takes over South Pointe Park a couple times a year. And if you missed the last two of these buoyant bashes, now’s your chance to join the fun.

The original version of this floating soiree started in California back in 2004, and since 2012, Miami’s had its very own! Back in April, a bunch of Miamians people showed up to float up. Saturday Sept. 14th, we are doing it again!

No bouncers, no guest lists, no cover charge, no promoters, just good ol’ fashioned floating fun! Bring your float, raft, inner-tube, rubber tire or anything that floats and join us at South Pointe Park for an awesome day!

Notes:
Please PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF, let’s be kind to this beautiful beach!

Your “beverages” must be in discreet containers such as plastic bottles. Remember, NO glass bottles are allowed on the beach.

Get crazy…within legal limits. No drama, please. We are all one big, friendly, floating party family! :)

Peace, Love & Float on!

The old business school model puts it very simple: “The big fish swallows the small fish”.

X-POSE Fashion has turned that Business 101 adage on its head. The quaint boutique has been able to prove that smaller businesses cannot only survive but they can actually thrive even when surrounded by formidable competitors. Just go five miles East or West on Kendall Drive and you will find the giant retailers: lurking, ready to coupon, special-rack or clearance discount their way into retailing battle; Thermopylae got nothing on this.

By now you must be wondering: “Ok…so what’s the secret?”… It is really simple: Social Media… yep … X-POSE Fashion maintains an aggressive campaign harnessing the power of social media to keep their customers engaged and coming back for more. Couple that with one-on-one customer service and they have been able to build a loyal clientele extending all over the U.S. and reaching as far as India. Social media has provided X-POSE Fashion with the ability to transcend physical location, they are on the world stage.

Recently, X-POSE Fashion held their Annual Valentine Bazaar. They invited other vendors to participate:

Nothing Bundt Cakes: “From the first bite, sweet memories of your Mom’s cake, fresh from the oven, gently tug at your heart”.

Lore Accessories: “Mixing foreign and local materials of different textures allows me to create accessories with an international twist. I feel that makes them extra unique!”

Soy Candela Candles: “Are all natural, biodegradable, hypoallergenic and eco-friendly.  Simply light, dip in and enjoy!”.

Here are a few images from the event:

The King Power “305” Collection is a special edition timepiece, limited to just 40 pieces, and specially developed to honor “The Gateway to the Americas.” The watch is white and ocean blue to evoke the sand and sea of South Florida, and engraved with “305” to represent the city’s well known area code. In addition, the 48 mm-diameter watch is made from King Gold, which is 18 carat gold with 5% platinum, and lends to its distinctive red color. The watch’s solid case-back, also in King Gold, is engraved with a view of Miami’s South Beach and the number “305.” The blue hornback alligator strap, stitched onto white rubber, completes the watch.

Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week

Posted on    by

(Miami, Florida) –Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week (MMIFW) gave residents a refreshing change of fashion scene with Air-Bistro-Studio-Gallery, LMNT (elementi), in Midtown Miami.  The 7,000+ sq.ft. space was home to the three-day event which showcased a fashion-forward lineup of daywear, eveningwear and swimwear designs from around the world including the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, England, Mexico and more. 

With a background in TV production, as well as the modeling industry, Maxine Viktor, envisioned a great opportunity to offer Miami a transformation from the typical – and somewhat cliché, Miami Beach – for an annual fashion show location.  Viktor partnered up with Philip Stienstra, a professional in the nightlife and entertainment industry, to collaborate in creating an event that would change the concept of “Miami-Fashion-Beach” and bring a more truly culturally diverse background to Miami’s fashion venues.

A successful MMIFW sealed each event with after parties and events in Gavanna Miami, Cafeina Miami, and Kyma Lounge. â–

Michelle Herrera Mulligan is the editor of Cosmopolitan for Latinas, the premiere women’s lifestyle publication targeted at English-speaking Latina women. Prior to Cosmopolitan for Latinas, Herrera Mulligan served as managing editor of LasFabulosas.com, a syndicated website which celebrates Latina success, as well as an editor for Latina magazine. A prolific author and journalist for more than 10 years, Herrera Mulligan has worked to capture the surging Latina voice in the United States. She co-edited and contributed to Border-Line Personalities, a groundbreaking collection of essays on culture clash and coming-of-age as a Latin woman in America. The book was course-adopted at universities throughout the country and won an Outstanding Contribution to Hispanic Studies Award in 2006. In 2007, Herrera Mulligan edited Juicy Mangos, the first-ever literary collection of Latina erotica in English, which Pulitzer Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos called, “a collection of stories that offer the reader some real insights on what being a feeling and thinking Latina in today’s world is all about.” In September 2012, Atria Books will publish Herrera Mulligan’s essay, “Anarchy Chicks,” as part of the anthology Count on Me: Las Comadres’ Tales of Sisterhoods and Fierce Friendship.

Fashion Fights Heart Disease In Style

Posted on    by

(Miami, Florida) – The American Heart Association sure knows how to put on a fight against heart disease, and during the month of February it did it in style.  Miami International Mall was home to the Go Red event which offered a unique spring fashion show with vibrant designs from Express and Francesca’s Collections among other designers.  Natalia Zea of CBS4 Miami led the event as Mistress of Ceremonies. Go Red is the American Heart Association social initiative dedicated in creating awareness of the risks and threats of heart disease among women.  The movement brings energetic and passionate women together to take action in promoting healthier and active lifestyles.  The organization also recently celebrated over four decades of success.  The 44th Annual Miami Heart & Stroke Ball took place during early March at the Four Seasons Hotel in Miami.  The event brought in over $400k to fund research initiatives and other special programs. But the battle against heart disease did not, and does not, end there.  A couple of days after the Heart & Stroke Ball, over 8,000 participants joined in at the Annual Broward Heart Walk in Fort Lauderdale.  The walk brought in corporate sponsors and individuals fighting together to raise their goal of over $700k.  Proceeds from this walk will help fund medical research and educational programs for the community.  You may also want to SAVE THE DATE! Wednesday, April 4th is National Walking Day, if you want to find out more about what the American Heart Association has in store for you, visit www.heart.org. ■

From the television sets of hit series “Dallas” and “Walker, Texas Ranger”, to the beauty aisle of your local Walgreens store, comes actress Sheree J. Wilson to launch the new Nurigene Skincare Regimen with a series of pop up beauty events featuring free in-depth skin consultations and product demonstrations. Recommended to by a longtime friend and Walgreens pharmacist, Wilson has been a satisfied customer of the scientifically-based skin care regimen for months and has recently signed on as the brand’s official spokesperson.

On Thursday, September 15, 2011, and Friday, September 16, 2011, Sheree will appear at select Walgreens stores in Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach and Boca Raton as an in-store Nurigene skincare specialist. Shoppers can meet with Sheree to ask questions, discuss individual concerns with a pharmacist and discover solutions to their most stressful, aging skincare problems.

Within 28 days, the Nurigene skin care regimen utilizes creatine ascorbate to deliver a visible difference in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration. Creatine nourishes the skin to increase cellular energy, and the ascorbate provides the antioxidant activity of Vitamin C for free radical protection. The result is healthier, younger looking skin.

Homeless Women To Be Treated To Day of Beauty and Glamour 6/10/11

Posted on    by

PricewaterhouseCoopers to host a day of beauty for the homeless women of the Miami Rescue Mission
Friday, June 10th beginning at 1:00 PM.
Miami Rescue Mission’s Center for Women & Children
2250 NW 1st Avenue
Miami, FL 33127

Several volunteers from the Fortune 100 Company PricewaterhouseCoopers will be volunteering at the Miami Rescue Mission’s Center for Women & Children. During their time, volunteers will be helping with makeovers as well as dropping off donations to the homeless women and children who currently reside at the Center.

PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Miami Rescue Mission are teaming up to help the self-esteem of those women who may need it the most, those in the homeless population.

In a statement, PricewaterhouseCoopers reiterated the importance of volunteer activities such as this, “We (PricewaterhouseCoopers) are hosting a Day of Beauty for women who may never get to beautify themselves in the near future simply because they do not know how, do not have the self-esteem to believe they can be beautiful or do not have the resources to do so. Our mission is to show the women that we all care about them and to help them realize that they are not defined by their circumstances.”

Community Development Associate of the Miami Rescue Mission, Melissa Singh added, “It is always wonderful to see the look on the faces of our women and children when a group like this comes in. To see the light in their eyes from feeling good about themselves is something everyone should see… We are so thankful to PricewaterhouseCoopers for their generosity!”

Coral Square Mall (Coral Springs): from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Dadeland Mall (Miami): 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Miami International Mall (Miami): from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Free Events to Feature Networking, Style Presentations and More

Simon Malls in South Florida invite moms to let their hair down at the 3rd Annual “National Mom’s Nite Out” on Thurs., May 5, 2011. This complimentary event is a guilt-free excuse for moms to take the night off to relax and enjoy a celebration of motherhood at the following:

“Our ‘Mom’s Nite Out’ will be the ultimate celebration of motherhood, and will include makeovers, entertainment, fashion tips, refreshments, goodie bags and more,” said Lynnette Lauria, portfolio vice president of marketing for Florida, Simon Property Group. “Moms need to have time away from their kids and husbands, to enjoy themselves and get pampered a little. This will be the perfect time to do that.”

Fifteen million moms are expected to take part in this national event. Moms across the United States will unite in celebrating motherhood with each other via local and national events as well as cyber celebrations. Organized by Maria Bailey, CEO of BSM Media, author and Mom Talk Radio host, National Mom’s Nite Out unites social media groups, companies, local playgroups, mom bloggers and networks in giving moms a well-deserved night off. Bailey organized the first National Mom’s Nite Out after watching moms take care of everyone else on Mother’s Day, but never themselves.

“We created National Mom’s Nite Out because so many of today’s moms spend Mother’s Day focused on catering to the needs of others” said Maria Bailey, ‘National Mom’s Nite Out’ organizer and mother of four. “We decided that moms deserve one night off from cooking, cleaning and responsibility and need time to celebrate motherhood with each other.”

Simon Property Group is hosting “National Mom’s Nite Out” at 115 of its malls across the country. All activities are free and open to moms of all ages.

“As consumer confidence returns, families are starting to add the experience of a shared vacation back into their budgets,” said Will Seccombe, Chief Marketing Officer for VISIT FLORIDA. “Now, more than ever, it’s important for us to remind families about all there is to see and do in the Sunshine State. Partnering with Simon Property Group on the Mom’s Night Out program is a tremendous opportunity to encourage thousands of travel planning decision makers to ‘Share A Little Sunshine’ with their family and friends.”

‘Share a Little Sunshine’ is a statewide, grassroots tourism advocacy campaign that encourages all Floridians to send a personal e-mail to out-of-state friends and family inviting them to visit the Sunshine State. This social media driven campaign asks Florida residents and fans to do their part to make a positive impact on Florida’s economy, while having fun with friends and loved ones. By inviting friends and family for a vacation, Floridians can create jobs and positively impact Florida’s economy.

Learn more about LATISSE® solution from LATISSE® user and style guide Bobbie Thomas, and have your questions answered by a nationally recognized oculoplastic surgeon experienced in facial aesthetics. LATISSE® is the first and only prescription treatment to grow lashes longer, fuller and darker for those with inadequate or not enough lashes.

Monday, September 13, 6:30-8:30pm
Four Seasons Hotel Miami
1435 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL
RSVP required: miamievent@ccapr.com

Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres upon arrival.

There is no cost to attend.

Important Information About LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03%: LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.

Important Safety Information: If you are using, or have used, prescription products for any eye pressure problems, only use LATISSE® under close doctor care. Although not seen in LATISSE® clinical studies, may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. Eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. Only apply at the base of the upper eyelashes. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. Hair growth may occur in other skin areas that LATISSE® solution frequently touches. If you develop or experience any eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor immediately about continued use of LATISSE®. The most common side effects after using LATISSE® solution are itchy eyes and/or eye redness. If discontinued, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.

Blondes vs Brunettes Elisabetta showcase at Rik Rak sponsored by CoupTessa 6/24/10

Posted on    by

RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar hosts Elisabetta Fantone‘s “Blondes vs. Brunettes” series, featuring Gretchen Rossi of The Real Housewives of Orange County— Sponsored by CoupTessa.com

The ultimate question of “Who’s hotter?” is finally settled on June 24th , 2010 at the RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar on Brickell Avenue as international artist Elisabetta Fantone puts it to a vote with an interactive exhibit entitled “Blondes vs. Brunettes”. Not to worry, no arduous registration process required for this election, as crossing the RikRak threshold completes the task, making every guest an eligible voter. This highly anticipated event is already being raved about as one of the “5 Best Things to Do” this month in Miami by Plum TV. “Blondes vs. Brunettes” is sponsored by CoupTessa.com, the newest online coupon site for women, and promises an electrifying evening of sugar and champagne featuring pop-art, Cupcakes by Kristy, Lunetta Prosecco provided by Palm Bay International, and last but certainly not least, a good old-fashioned female rivalry.

Italian by birth, yet a citizen of the world, Elisabetta Fantone is a jet-setting multi-faceted superstar poised for international esteem. In 2006, she conquered Canada with her stunning beauty and undeniable acting prowess, and now, four short years later, she boasts celebrated pop-art painter and chart-topping vocalist as additions to her already impressive resume.

“Blondes vs. Brunettes” is a compilation of pieces from Fantone’s most recent pop-art collections: “Blonde Icons” and “Iconic Brunettes”. This collective series of portraits features icons like Sophia Lauren, Marilyn Monroe, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Taylor, among others. Fantone even showcases beauties from the ever-popular reality TV genre like starlet Gretchen Rossi. Fantone’s fascination with high-profile women who wear their hair color with such confidence and panache that it becomes their signature is what inspired her to paint Rossi, Bravo’s The Real House Wives of Orange County’s most controversial blonde, and invite her to participate in the event. Rossi, who has recently launched Gretchen Christine Beaute, a line of stunning beauty products, will share the night with Fantone by unveiling the line to the women of Miami, while celebrating her insatiable portrait by the artist.

These ladies may be easy on the eyes but they are also no slouches in the social media department. This event will be streamed live from the RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar on the Elisabetta Fantone Facebook Fan Page as well as on affiliate sponsor sites, CoupTessa.com and RikRak.com. As if being able to view this fete as it happens live is not enough, the online audience will also be invited to Tweet with the blonde & brunette guests of honor -Fantone, Rossi, Tessa and Raquel Waters (owner of RikRak)- throughout the event. These lucky interactive participants will also be able to cast their vote for their favorite painting and participate in other live give-aways right from the comfort of their home, globally! Not only will this be the party of the year combining beauty, art, fashion, and fun with some of the finest women stateside but it will also be a social media soiree for the ages – the first of it’s kind- NOT to be missed.
