For the past four seasons I’ve been a permanent fixture at Funkshion: Fashion Week Miami Beach. So I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I am to take my seat front row next Tuesday where I will be bringing you up to the minute coverage of all the shows. This season also brings some changes such as venue and the inclusion of the COAST Trade Show. Funkshion: Fashion Week Miami Beach will be held at the Miami Botanical Garden on convention center drive instead of last years Lummus Park. Also this year the Go Red for Women show is being presented at the tents on October 2nd.

The Go Red for Women show is a charity fashion show where major celebrities and socialites are used as models and wear red custom designer dresses to benefit Go Red for Women a campaign from the American Heart Association. Designers in the past include Marc Jacobs, Donna Karen, Catherine Malendrino, Michael Kors, Max Azria Atelier and numerous others. Each dress will be auctioned off where 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Go Red for women movement.

Here’s a photo recap of last season.

The second day of shows I flew in from Los Angeles to Miami jet lagged and not feeling well, something about flying commercial from the West Coast to the East Coast always makes me nauseous. Since I took the Red Eye I missed day one, besides it was only one show.

Day 2:

My hair was too long and I didn’t have time to trim it so I pulled it together with some Skinny jeans, a hooded chunky knit sweater to hide my fro and my shoe of choice for last season, the Atlantic City pumps. The Atlantic City pump is a 5inch stiletto with a built in platform.
