La Simpson was in Miami Beach, Florida for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, promoting her new swimwear collection. In a recent photograph, the J-ster appeared a little unnerved as she was ushered out of her hotel.

Post-John Mayer, she’s been wearing less flashy clothing and looking less made up, but we’re not complaining. In a sleeveless blue multi print with gold bangles, Jessica looks like a native Floridian. One thing’s for sure, the blonde songstress never fails to surprise us!

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - Miami Swim 2008: Badgley Mischka

Badgley Mischka are known for their gorgeous embellished gowns that the likes of Sharon Stone and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have modeled. Now after making their mark in the ready-to-wear world, Mark Badgley and James Mischka are taking on the world of swim wear, launching their debut season of Badgley Mischka Swim at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim Show yesterday.

And like regular fabrics, they did a great job with spandex. The swimsuits were 100% wearable and embellished with gold decoration or beaded detailing. The finishing touches fitted their design aesthetics, with necklines either in a flattering (but not plunging) V, or sweetheart shape.

Just imagine how well their swimsuits would look for a summer in the Rivera or in the Hamptons. Paired with the floppy hats, beaded necklaces and T-bar shoes as well of course.

What do you think of Badgley Mischka’s debut swim collection?
