Mother and daughter founders, Kristen and Hadley Greene, know that the future of fashion does not exist without diversity and inclusion. They understand how important each is firsthand as their own son and brother, who they adopted from China when he was just two years, has Down syndrome and autism. Together, Kristen and Hadley are using their brand, Love All Tennis Co, to bring awareness to those with disabilities and redefining what it truly means to "love all" with each collection. Before the brand’s inception, Kristen and Hadley often found themselves playing tennis together, then changing out of their tennis apparel before they went anywhere else. Not only did they struggle with finding stylish yet functional tennis athleisure wear, but they also struggled with finding tennis apparel that could be worn on and off the court. So, they decided to make their own. Founded in May of 2023, after two years of planning and designing, Kristen and Hadley launched Love All with tennis essentials and chic styles made for every tennis lover, or for those who just like the Tenniscore trend! From preppy skirts, sweaters, crewnecks, and hats, to onesies, dresses, and more, Love All ensures that each piece of apparel provides sport, style, and most importantly meaning on and off the court. Additionally, Love All designs their apparel with all age groups in mind and prioritizes sustainability throughout the production process, from the clothing being manufactured in Los Angeles and the recycled polyester that is used to make various pieces, to Kristen and Hadley consciously choosing sustainable packing vendors. “I knew we’d found our niche”, Hadley says, and with quality products, a chic, cool-girl aesthetic, and a mission to promote unity amongst people and bring awareness to an underrepresented community within the fashion industry, Kristen and Hadley have done more than just find a niche, but rather have created an incredibly impactful kind of fashion brand and community. Kristen and Hadley want those who wear Love All to feel “inspired, empowered, and know that with each purchase, they are making a difference”. Currently, the brand donates 10% of each purchase to Sandal Gap Studio, a non-profit organization that works to bridge the gap of knowledge and understanding between society and individuals with disabilities. “We believe in promoting love and unity amongst people. To us, "LOVE ALL" means more than just a score in a tennis game; it represents our mission to spread love to all those around us,” Kristen says. Love All’s first collection consisted of their core, classic pieces which featured black and white silhouettes and an “LA” logo apparent on each. Undoubtedly, Love All’s most iconic product from the first collection was the pouf skirt, which Kristen explains was designed as a “fun, unique take on the tennis skirt”. Launched just last week, Love All’s FW23 collection offers new styles of skirts, such as the banded skirt, along with grey and black onesies, crewnecks and pullovers that make the perfect addition for any fall athleisure outfit, visors, and much more. Kristen says, “We’re excited to continue to create unique pieces with every new collection, while always keeping our values at the core of everything we do. Love All is for the player and the spectator, but more importantly, it’s for those who want to make a difference with their fashion choices”. As the Tenniscore trend continues to evolve and expand, it is clear that Love All’s collections and mission will remain timeless. You can shop their newest collection on their website or on their Instagram. To learn more visit shoplovealltennisco.com Follow Love All Tennis CO on Instagram. By ML staff.

Miami is considered one of the most lavish destinations to get married due to its famous beaches and party scene. During the pandemic, however, the wedding industry took a huge hit. Speaking to Caplin News, Cinco Farms Miami’s wedding planner, Carol Falco, outlined how the venue saw a 70% decrease in bookings in 2020 as couples postponed their weddings. To get a sense of how bad the problem was, in 2019 Florida weddings averaged about $30,600 and had decreased by approximately $11,600. This hit the luxury wedding sector as fewer people were willing to splash out on their big day. The good news is that things are getting back to normal. A recent wedding market report for Miami-Dade, FL, showed that there were 24,780 weddings, making it 9 out of 3109 Counties in the number of weddings. This shows how weddings in the region are still a big driver of the economy. And with more people investing in their big day, distributors are back behind Miami’s luxury wedding planners. These are the reasons why. Couples Are Splashing Out on Miami Weddings The estimated cost of a wedding in Miami is $33,000, up 8.2% from 2019 to 2022, according to a report from Axios Miami. The report cited how, after the pandemic halted travel and get-togethers, “weddings have come roaring back with bigger budgets, longer guest lists, and grander ideas.” More couples are willing to splash out on a luxury wedding in Miami. This has led 77% of wedding vendors in Miami and across the country to increase their prices, showing confidence in the luxury wedding market. This has led to an increase in the number of distributors in the city, with Gustavo Cadile opening a new Miami bridal store this year. Miami has seen a 75% rise in the number of millionaires between 2012 and 2022, and this has led to Gustavo Cadile following their wealthy clients and now working with the city’s top wedding planners. Another wedding distributor that recently started in Miami was Bill Hanson. Launching Bill Hansen Luxe, which will provide clients with high-end food and beverage offerings in an elegant setting at some of South Florida’s top-rated venues, Hanson said, “Bill Hansen Luxe will open the door to more opportunities for work with the high-end client market, and we are excited to introduce it at a time when high-end weddings and events are booming.” It also shows how luxury distributors have increasing faith in the luxury wedding industry in Miami and are backing the industry. Couples Are More Careful Post-Pandemic But Still Indulging The pandemic had a huge impact on Miami, impacting all sectors of the city. Even though restrictions have been lifted across the USA, many couples are still careful when it comes to planning their wedding. While the Miami wedding industry is getting back on its feet, couples are still opting for small weddings. A guide to wedding planning by 77 Diamonds outlines how couples are being much more cautious about who they invite and the type of ceremony they want post-COVID. This follows the recent wedding trend in Miami, where the guest lists are smaller, but the investment in weddings was up. Wedding planner Roxy Quevedo from Zeta Event Productions said, “Some are spending a little more on lavish extras because they now can.” Celebrity Miami Weddings Are on the Rise One factor driving the luxury wedding market in Miami is the number of celebrity weddings. This year, Marc Anthony and Nadia Ferreir married at the Perez Art Museum in a lavish wedding. The wedding was highly publicized, showcasing why Miami is so popular amongst wealthy couples. Other high-profile marriages in the city recently include Clark Bacon and comedian Sabrina Rudolph, who got married at Miami Beach, and 2Chainz and Kesha, who got married in The Temple House. Not only did these weddings cost millions of dollars and employ dozens of planner distributors, but they continued to put Miami on the map and inspire affluent couples to consider Miami as their wedding destination. After taking a big hit during the pandemic, the luxury Miami industry is showing strong signs of recovery, and this is evident in how distributors are backing wedding planners as they put on more ceremonies.

The concept was introduced in 2022 on the occasion of Milan Design Week with Rossinavi’s first immersive installation The Underwater Experience. The very first boat concept marking the new generation of super yachts presented by Rossinavi, Sea Cat, is now under construction. The 42.75metre catamaran was born from a collaboration with Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design and it marks the first multihull project for the shipyard. Solar energy is at the core of the build and the Sea Cat will have multiple modes of operation for day trips, multi-day cruises and nights spent at anchor, the sophisticated AI and centralised control system allows it to maintain the battery status between 40% and 80% so as to preserve the battery and make it last longer. The catamaran can be programmed to navigate 80% in full electric mode, using only 20% of diesel electric support. On trips of 80 nm, for example, the catamaran can operate in a full-electric mode. The soon to be launched Infinity 42 is the result of Rossinavi’s BluE technology transferred into a mono-hull. Also conceived by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design, the new boat concept is entirely made in aluminum and features a reduced draft for pleasant navigation even in shallow waters. It is equipped with solar panels and a capacious battery pack. By ML Staff. Images Courtesy Of Rossinavi

Miami Music Project, a leading non-profit organization committed to transforming the lives of young students through music education, is set to participate in the eagerly anticipated 2023 Give Miami Day. This remarkable annual event, orchestrated by the Miami Foundation, unites and empowers the Miami community in a collective celebration of giving.

At the heart of the program’s impact are graduates like Christina Chatelier, whose inspiring story mirrors the organisation's profound influence. Her musical journey began at age six when her mother, undeterred by the considerable distance they had to travel, enrolled her in the program. As a dedicated program student, Christina learned to create beautiful music and dream ambitiously. Miami Music Project nurtured her belief that great things were possible, and her commitment to the program continued through her high school graduation in 2022. She transitioned from a graduate to an alumnus when she was appointed the Site Coordinator of the Miami Music Project's Little Haiti Chapter in September 2023. Christina is also pursuing a Political Science degree at Nova Southeastern University, further amplifying her efforts to make a positive impact within her community. Her transformation from a student to a leader illustrates Miami Music Project’s transformative power and the boundless possibilities it opens for young individuals. Miami Music Project’s remarkable 15-year journey in shaping the lives of aspiring musicians and instilling a love for music is a testament to its unwavering commitment to the community.

Basis Industrial, a privately held and vertically integrated real estate owner and operator based in Boca Raton, Florida, officially opened its new construction self-storage facility located at 5 Resnik Road, Plymouth, MA 02360 on Oct. 25, 2023. Basis Industrial acquired the land on which the storage facility was built in November 2021. After purchasing the property in 2021, Basis Industrial broke ground on the state-of-the-art self-storage facility in March 2022. The project was developed in two phases and was completed in about 16 months. The 111,000-square-foot three-story facility features 806 climate-controlled units, advanced security systems, and other amenities. Basis Industrial is having a third party, Public Storage, manage the facility. Basis Industrial chose this location in Plymouth through its proprietary sourcing methods. The site had desirability due to low supply, growing population and increasing average household income. Basis acquired the development site from Henry Stout in November 2021 for $3.5 million. This was an off-market acquisition. Basis Industrial, which is expanding its portfolio of industrial and commercial properties across the U.S., currently has 15 storage projects at varying stages of completion throughout the U.S. “It’s extremely exciting to announce the grand opening of our new construction state-of-the-art self-storage facility in Plymouth, MA,” said Anthony Scavo, president and COO of Basis Industrial. “We saw a great opportunity when we purchased the land in November 2021, and it’s rewarding to see the development completed and the facility opening.” For more information, visit www.basisindustrial.com or www.bayspace.com.
