The event is held in collaboration with Miami’s Junior League chapter. For over 80 years the Junior League of Miami has led the way in giving back to the community in a variety of ways from fundraisers to community projects. In Style is donating 100% of the profits to the Junior League of Miami.

This year’s In Side In Style event will once again bring the glamour and style of In Style magazine to Miami with two full days of goodies, fun, and fashion.

Katrina Szish, InStyle’s national correspondent will be on site at the In Style cabana where she will be discussing getting ready for your summer style.

Katrina says now more than ever and especially in Miami the trend is bright colors, especially in accessories. And as far as how to wear this summer’s styles Katrina mentioned this summer is going to be more sophisticated and will have a natural feel think globally inspired, tribal patterns and safari chic.

Katrina mentioned that Miami has always welcomed bright colors and now everyone else is catching on. Local fashionistas should already be out on the hunt for those bright accessories paired with sophisticated neutrals.

For more style tips and to see the latest information on designers check out Katrina’s blog Style Spy.

And of course catch her this weekend at the InStyle Miami event with fashion shows, makeover, performances, spa treatments and so much more.
