Hi, everyone!! Your eyes are not deceiving you — this gorgeous blonde bombshell is actually a good-friend of mine (I really do know all the hottest ladies around).   The humbling thing about Nicole is she’s so gorgeous and yet so down to earth!! You more than likely recognize Nicole Guidetti from her appearances on “30 Rock”, “Law and Order” or maybe you spotted her dancing on tour with some of the hottest musical heavyweights such as Beyonce, Ricky Martin, Gwen Stefani and the Black Eyed Peas — I could easily go on and on.  I also featured Nicole for one of the video segments, as the Style Editor for SwimSpot and have to say she was a true pleasure to work with (not to mention she looks fiercely hot in a bikini)!

Now, for the details! Nicole is up for the “Maxim’s Hometown Hottie” title and let’s help this fashionista get that crown, baby!  To VOTE and learn more about this stunning beauty, click here!!  You can vote every-day— so get to it!!

I think there’s nothing sexier than leaving a slight air of mystery to your look. Gone are the days when the only thing to wear that has “sass” appeal is a tight mini-dress. Sure, I love to wear that sort of look sometimes, but it’s also nice to mix it up and add fun accessories that say “I’m alluring” in other ways, too. One of my favorite go-to pieces as of late — is the fedora!! Some of you (*wink) have noticed that I’ve been sporting this style of trendy hat around town. I love the fedora because I feel there’s an air of cool that really surrounds this look.

As the Style Editor for a leading swimwear site, SwimSpot (www.swimspot.com) I recommend hats because they’re also helpful in protecting our skin from the harmful rays of the sun, besides adding that extra something to your beach-look. I love these hats as “street-wear” as well, and one of my favorite designs is from Jovan Jane. She recently came onto the scene with these amazing hats that so many fashionistas are enamored with — including me! I just ordered an obsession-worthy Jovan Jane Butterfly Kisses embellished fedora and I truly can’t wait to wear it! I’ll be sure to write about it when I do! See you around town, everyone (I’ll be the chick in the ultra-cool fedora).

It’s cold here on the East Coast, but that doesn’t mean us ladies aren’t at the jacuzzi or indoor pool!

Dana Prigge’ from Daily Fashionista and Lisa Vogel swimwear Queen!

Hi, ladies! Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the stunning RAJ Showroom in NYC to preview Lisa Vogel’s latest LUXE by Lisa Vogel Swimwear Collection and SwimSpot’s newest 2011 styles!

I have to say that the collections from LUXE, Next, Athena, Reef, Guess, Splendid, Ella Moss and Hurley Girls (just to name a few) are among the BEST styles I have EVER seen! You think that’s a bold fashion statement — don’t you? Well, when you preview the pictures below you will easily see what I’m talking about. This season the swim-style factor is kicked up a few notches with glittering embellishments, asymmetrical cuts, even MORE figure flattering styles, mixes of prints (floral with stripes), bust enhancing styles, sassy cover-ups, cheery prints, sexy silhouettes, innovative new one-piece designs and amped up classics! It’s all here and then some, fashionistas!!

It was an especially wonderful day for me — because I had the opportunity to meet with Lisa Vogel. Lisa not only designs her own fabulous LUXE Swimwear collection, but she also has a hand in many of your other favorite swimwear styles. Sitting down and having lunch with Lauren Carlee Campbell of Beach House PR, Marnie Hill of RAJ Manufacturing and design extraordinaire Lisa Vogel was an inspiring afternoon. We finished the day off with some cupcakes from Crumbs — but, not too many because a fashionista needs to keep her swimsuit figure!

As every smart bathing beauty knows, www.swimspot.com is your destination for everything beachy and beautiful. With free shipping both ways – there is only reward involved with ordering from SwimSpot. The innovative “bikini builder” lets you create your very own swim-suit style with ease. Gone are the days when you look like everyone else at the beach! I personally love to mix designers — like wearing a Reef cover-up over a Guess bikini or rocking a fabulous LUXE tankini top with my favorite white skinny jeans and a strappy golden shoe!

See you wherever the sun is shining with SwimSpot! Now, where to plan that much deserved winter getaway? At least I know I have my bathing suits from SwimSpot all ready to go! As always, there is something for everyone on www.swimspot.com!

This LUXE by Lisa Vogel design is a definite Daily Fashionista favorite! Just look at those details — the shades of blue are flattering on any skin-tone!

This LUXE plum bikini with rosettes and glittering accents is another Daily Fashionista swimwear winner!

Hi, fashionistas!! I had a fabulous time on the boat of my friend Matt this past weekend!! Of course, I was wearing one of my SwimSpot (www.swimspot.com) bikinis, designed to bring out all the best in any female wearing it. This bikini style created by Reef is both vibrant and comfortable. By the way, you may notice the tattoo on my left arm — fashionable touch but not permanent!

Here’s to finishing off the Summer on an upbeat note as we get ready for a fantastic Fall!
