Before my trip down to Art Basel I talked to a good friend of my who is a very talented art advisor. Nicole Laroca gave me the lowdown on her top fair picks. She told me PULSE, NADA, ART, and obviously Art Basel. I had figured out that the best way to see Art Basel was during the press preview and VIP showing so I made it a point to get down their early, get my press pass, and see it the first two hours. The people watching made it worth it. The fair was also very manageable with a small number of wealthy collectors wandering the show. I saw a Louis vuitton gold sequin eclipse speedy bag, berkin bags, kelly bags, Cartier jewelry, missoni, ysl, and gucci ware, professional hair and makeup. These women were put together top notch style and fresh off a private jet. These were the wives not the mistresses. For a while I forgot I was in Miami-that is until the 'private' vernissage at 6pm when it was clear that locals were invited.
