Love these 1950's beach fashion pictures from Life Magazine! For all you ladies out there that are heading to the beach this Summer, these fashion pieces ideas will give you a head start for your beach adventure!

These outfits are very French riviera. The striped bateau tops paired with these textured shorts with a black belt will take you from the beach to the yacht. So tres chic!

Here we have an assortment of outfits that are very lady like. For those of us that love style and yet feel pretty and modest. The far left model is wearing a bikini bottom with an attached skirt. The second model is sporting a lovely halter romper. The Peter Pan bathing suit is awesome. The strapless square pattern dress looks fun and playful.

Nice halter bathing suit-romper. 

Here we can see better the black and grey stripped sleeveless turtle neck top and shorts. I don't know about wearing turtle neck during the Summer here in Florida. Perhaps during the Spring when it's still a bit cooler. Ladies please don't forget your umbrellas! A striped one with go well with your outfit.

Peter Pan meets The Flinstones!

Elegant black textured halter romper outfit! Sharp cat eye sunglasses.

Another elegant beach outfit. Love this silky black piece strapless romper! The stylish silvery buttons are a nice touch.

Going to the beach is a great time to take a break and kick back and relax!



Sun hats anyone? These assortments of straw hats have that Island, Asian, and French flare to them. They are a must-haves accessory for any beach girl to wear to look fashionable and to keep for damaging one's skin.

Summer Days are here!

Enjoy!

Art Deco Festival 2015

OCEAN DRIVE, MIAMI BEACH FLORIDA

The Miami Design Preservation League is excited to announce the 38th year of the Art Deco Festival! This year's 2015 festival will be looking back at the 100th year of Miami Beach's history, architecture and people.

This year's festival dates are:  Friday, January 16th 2015 to  Sunday, January 18th 2015.

It's incredible that Miami Beach became a city in 1915. For many years the plans were to make it a resort. If you have visited this city you may have noticed that Miami Beach are a series of Island. So years ago before bridges were made visitors took day-trips by ferry from Miami, across the bay.

This Art Deco District is the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world! And it comprises hundreds of hotels, apartments and other structures erected between 1923 and 1943.

However in the late 60's this once booming city became sadly tattered and abandon. Furthermore starting in the 70's and into the 80's some owners had purposefully neglected some of these buildings so that they could erect more modern high rise buildings.

Though thanks to the perseverance and feistiness of Barbara Baer Capitman Miami Beach would have not have had the rich history and charm that it has today. She along with industrial designer Leonard Horowitz founded The Miami Design Preservation League.

Although Barbara may have successfully won several wars. She knew well that the battle was not yet over. Throughout the years the city witness the demolition of many, many Art Deco hotels and buildings. Nowadays local preservationists are now facing a similar fight over notable single-family homes.
