She is also filming some videos and will continue to cover brands and weave them into her daily adventures of life as a New Yorker in South Beach.

The MCD take: Hot like Miami, tough like New York. We like the sound of that. And you say you have video?

Every blog post and picture will feature clothing, jewelry, shoes, and more from California's amazing list of talented brands.

The MCD take: This sounds suspiciously like the first stanza of a Tom Petty song. But he's great, so we'd be thrilled to be included in the second part--perhaps playing a cad whose company she rejects to pursue a lasting inner strength?
