The two things I love in this world- besides my family, friends, boyfriend, and dog…oh and pickles and ice cream- are Celebrities and Fashion….combine the two and bring on the butterflies in my stomach…the strut in my step…and a huge smile on my face! Ok this leads me to why I am extremely excited…and slightly jealous. Yesterday I had the privilege of talking to Brazilian fashion designer, creative director and founder of D’Milikah- Emily Gonzaga. She is packing up her 2013 Swimwear Collection and heading to the upcoming 55^thannual GRAMMY Awards Gift lounge! How amazing is that? Five pieces from the D'Milikah Swimwear Collection will be showcased and celebrities can meet Emily face-to-face and take home the swimsuit they love most. Hot trendy bathing suits and a celebrity packed lounge? Sign me up! Emily’s bathing suits are for real women…for curves…for voluptuous Beyonce and Kim Kardashian like bodies…women of all shapes and sizes! The new summer collection entitled “Blurry Feminine” is a blend of 80s vibes and fun animal prints. While she is getting the celebs glammed up for the beach- check out her line at Current Boutique in Alexandria or Tari on 1525 Wisconsin Ave NW….don’t worry- she promised she would update us on her Grammy experience!
