Betsey Johnson presents a "Sailor Betsey" Fashion Show at Grand Central Miami

Betsey Johnson is best known for her over the top style and her fearless sense of fashion. On Saturday, April 2nd, I headed over to Downtown Miami to check out a "Sailor" inspired Betsey Johnson Fashion Show at Grand Central Miami. This was one of the funnest fashion shows I've seen in a long time. The runway was packed with beach balls, colorful swimsuits and adorable sailor themed jumpsuits. Throughout the show, the crowd danced to the beats of Mike Deuce and Josh LeCash while enjoying the various looks Betsey had to offer! I also recognized one of my dearest friends on the catwalk: Damaris Aquiar, Miss Carnaval Miami 2011 [pictured on the left]. Cheers to a fabulous show and a truly creative collection!

Tracy was kind enough to personally show us her collection of moisturizers and body oils which smell divine and feel great on the skin. Annie and I tried all of her scents like Goddess, Soulmate, Mother and Friend. I honestly smelled lovely for the rest of the night. Thanks TRACY!!!
