One great thing about calling Miami our hometown is being front-and-center guests at Mercedes-Benz’s Fashion Swim Week! This annual swimwear extravaganza is held in Miami Beach, and features the most sizzling swimwear designers in the world. This year featured some established favorites (like Maaji and Agua Bendita), as well as some less-known but equally fabulous designers (like Frankie’s Bikinis, designed by 19-year-old Francesca Aiello).

This Thursday, we’re reminiscing on our awesome Grand Opening, held here in the Lounge at Jewel Be Mine a little over a month ago. It seems like just yesterday, as we’ve been busy planning more events, picking out amazing new items for the website (coming very soon), and enjoying the company of guests in our Lounge! That night was just the beginning of so much to come, and we look back fondly at the festivities with some exclusive, never seen before pictures:

There is still one amazing month of summer left! That means one month left to have beach days with your friends and make memories that will last forever. And what better way to do that than in a gorgeous, handcrafted Agua Bendita swimsuit?
