Last Friday June 16th, 2011 I had the pleasure of showing a style/fashion segment on Good Day Tampa Bay, Fox 13. Needless to say this was a catapult for my styling career. I got the call 9 days prior when the producer asked me if I can plan a segment to show how moms can look great in their swimwear when going to the beach. So I immediately began calling on models who were more than just models, but also moms. Landing 3 out of 4 was not so bad, considering we only had 6 minutes in this segment to show the entire city that mothers don’t have to look drab at the beach or the pool, with kids in tow for that matter.

How hard could it be to find swimwear in Florida? a place where going to the beach is just part of our lifestyle? Not too hard, when the store Everything But Water in Tampa’s International Plaza graciously allowed me to pull their best swimwear. If that wasn’t enough The Pink Palm was also kind enough to let me use their Lilly Pulitzer and LaCoste pieces for the show.

Finally, here is the end result, which I believe turned out fabulous and I couldn’t have done it without the models, makeup artist and my assistant. Watch the segment and get on board with looking gorgeous whether you’re going on vacation, or just a day at the beach.
