OOTD: Ramona La Rue Mandy Pants + Sheree Nichole Designs + Escape Miami Style Lounge at the Sagamore Hotel

As part of Swim Week, Miami bloggers were asked to style some beach chic looks. Our photos were on display at the Sagamore Hotel at a party and style lounge called Escape Miami. Annie Vazquez, of The Fashion Poet put it all together; she did a great job. Local designers and brands had tables with their goods on display (a favorite of mine is Jewel Be Mine and Fitting Room Social). Blo Brickell had a braid bar set up and Nail Bar was doing manis. I also got to hang with my pals, Melificent and Rosie Cordero- it was a good day.

About my pictures: I had envisioned an entirely different look - I was going to wear a long tunic with a head scarf and large hoop earrings. On the day of my shoot, I was last to go, it was after work, and there was not a lot of time to perfect the styling of the look. The hair scarf I had didn't work out - at all. I switched gears completely and went with sort of a glam beach look.

As I said, I was one of the last to shoot that day, and let's just say, I wasn't feeling all that great about some things. That being said, a big thank you to Stef for her Ramona La Rue Mandy Pants and to the very sweet Sheree Nichole for introducing me to Kareena's Swimwear and Sheree Nichole designs...I always get a lot of compliments on the sheer black top from her line that I'm wearing in the last two pictures.
