Miami Art Basel is one of the city’s finest moments, where the fashion and art world collide in beautiful form. I unfortunately won’t be making it to Miami for Art Basel this time around; however, here are my favorite 5 picks to see and be seen at.

If you’ve never seen interactive art in motion, you must attend the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation’s (CIFO) 4th annual exhibition: “Inspired by the Beat” on September 30th. Watching someone’s passion spill out onto a canvas while being rhythmically in sync with some sick beats is not only impressive, but down right inspiring.
Creative Children Therapy (CCT) is a local non-profit organization selected earlier this year for Ad2 Miami’s 2010 Public Service Campaign. All event proceeds will go to funding the organization’s art programs, which focus on helping special needs children in the Miami community.
For your viewing pleasure, local Cuban artist David ‘LEBO’ LeBatard will be debuting ‘LEBO LIVE’ – A Multimedia Experience including Live Painting, Video Mixing & Music. In addition, 23 artists from CCT’s Artistic Realization Technologies program, also known as CCT/A.R.T. 4 Collaborative Works between the Artists of CCT & LEBO will be auctioned off @ event and LEBO’s new coffee table book “Inspired by the Beat” will be available for purchase.
I may be a tad bit biased as David “LEBO” LeBatard was a former flame of mine, but there’s no denying the vibrant energy and color of his work. So head out and experience a beautiful fusion of art and music while nibbling on some appetizers and taking advantage of a full open bar. Who knows, maybe you’ll see some work that was inspired by little ol’ me… A girl can wish, can’t I?
CIFO
September 30th from 6:30PM-10:30PM

Whenever I think of Chanel nail polishes, I imagine a little Chanel mad scientist mixing up colors for upcoming seasons and the Wicked Witch of the West, maniacally laughing and thinking, “Oh I’ll get you my pretties.” Oh you got me alright, completely hooked on these neutral nails for Fall and as if my Chanel obsession wasn’t bad enough already.
Anyways, how drool worthy are Khaki Rose and Khaki Vert? As with all coveted Chanel polishes, these are limited edition in honor of Fashion Night Out and will be available at Chanel boutiques and chanel.com starting September 10th. Hopefully I can get my paws on these before then ’cause you know these babies won’t last long at the counters.

Here’s a heads up to all you skincare fanatics and freebie lovers – On July 22nd from 5pm – 9pm, Estee Lauder will be doing a 360,000 10-day sample giveaway at their counters of the Advanced Night Repair products (serum or eye). The event is called America’s Night to Repair, which is a repeat of last year’s event, but this time including the new Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex. If you haven’t heard all the praise from the masses already, stop by and give it a try.
Late nights and insomnia have taken a toll on my tired eyes, so I’ll be giving their new Eye Complex a test drive. Find more information on the event on Facebook and more about the Advanced Night Repair line on Estee Lauder.
During these tough times, it’s been hell on everyone’s wallets even for the most frugalistas. While the economy may not be changing, but thanks to Frédéric Fekkai, your hair care ritual will. The brand known synonymously for luxury hair care products is pleased to announce their “Shampoo Swap” day, exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue.
