I know – it seems obvious. But recently I went to Gay Pride weekend on Miami Beach and I was so grateful of my outfit choice. First of all, if it’s daylight and taking place on South Beach, I will be wearing a bikini as my undergarments without a doubt. It’s just a must to always to have the option of a quick dip in the ocean with our level of heat and humidity. But I’ll also be wearing a crochet cover up and sandals so my body can breathe. The ladies I was with did not plan as well as I did. They wore combat boots – do not ask me why. In Miami, once February is over you really can’t rock boots anymore. It’s just way too hot. They were also wearing thick cotton t-shirts that made them sweat profusely.
In order to avoid a sweat fest, choosing something airy is your best bet. I think a crochet romper is perfect because it’s really only the illusion of an outfit. You will look totally chic, and you’re also not dying of heat. It’s also ideal to wear one with a loose fit so the crochet fabric doesn’t work off of the heat from your body.

It would also be cute to go with a crochet cover up. The great thing about a hot place like SOBE is as long as you look appropriate, pants are not required. If I wasn’t already wearing shorts at the event, I would have been just as comfortable in the Kailua Cover Up. It has the loose fit as I mentioned earlier, and trendy fringe tassels on the edges. The friendly crochet fabric will let you enjoy the breeze that comes once in a blue moon in Miami. Seriously, when you feel it, savor it.

When I people watch on Miami Beach, I always notice the women here prefer Brazilian-cut bikinis over full coverage options. And for the most part, their butt always looks good in them. As a fellow tiny-bikini-bottom wearer myself, I am constantly thinking of ways to keep my booty in shape. It’s all about having your butt lifted enough to defy gravity, and minimizing the jiggle as much as possible. Let’s get that booty tight! Here are a couple of easy butt work outs that I live by.
Deadlifts – This work out is all about toning your butt. And girl, it is so easy! Stand straight and hold 3-5 pound dumbbells at arm’s length by your thighs. If you do not have dumbbells I find that canned food will give the same result. Keep your legs shoulder length apart with your knees slightly bent. While keeping your arms straight ...

As the third season of "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami" continues to film, Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney frequent various spots in South Florida. Just this past Monday, the voluptuous tv personality was spotted in Miami Beach. She ditched her usual two-piece bikini for a solid white one-piece swimsuit! What a surprise?! Known best for flaunting her curves, Kim was seen covered-up.
I couldn't help but notice that gold hardware detail at the waist! It sure makes a statement and you can never go wrong that! It slightly resembles one of my favorite one-piece swimsuits designed by Seafolly Swimwear. This Military One-piece features a belt at the waist and that gold hardware detailing to complete the look. Whether you prefer the a solid white swimsuit or a more military-inspired look, you will definitely be a knock-out at the beach.
