Art Basel has taken over Miami and the VOGUE Lounge at The Raleigh Hotel is one of the hot spots you cannot miss! On Wednesday, December 1st, Miami's trendsetters and fashionistas attended the VOGUE Lounge's cocktail reception for an exclusive shopping preview of the season's most inspiring fashion, beauty and lifestyle trends. Guests were able to visit stylish shopping booths by Sam Edelman, Curve Boutique, Bebe, Trina Turk and Tracy Mourning's Honey Child Collection which features a wonderful assortment of moisturizers and body oils (Tracy and Alonzo Mourning are pictured above with one of the sprays). For those who want to check out the VOGUE Lounge, today is the last day to swing by The Raleigh Hotel (open to the public from 12 pm till 9 pm). Enjoy!

Above: Here's a special glimpse of Tracy Mourning's Honey Child Collection which is exclusively available throughout Miami. Make sure to visit her website for a list of the locations. Tracy was kind enough to personally show us her collection of moisturizers and body oils which smell divine and feel great on the skin. Annie and I tried all of her scents like Goddess, Soulmate, Mother and Friend. I honestly smelled lovely for the rest of the night. Thanks TRACY!!!
