Cuban-American Documentary


Havana, Cuba is still the same. Even though its majestic Spanish colonial architecture is now decaying under the Caribbean sun, it still appears larger than life. It's easy to find inspiration in such a metropolis. Cuban American entrepreneur and swimwear designer Nicole Di Rocco has built her company, Nicolita, by blending the essence of nostalgic 1940s Cuba with modern-day fashion silhouettes. In 2009, Di Rocco was able to fulfill her dream of traveling to her parents' homeland of Cuba for an incredible on-location photo shoot for Nicolita. Sí TV filmed her amazing journey and the reunion of her parents with their homeland and family after leaving 49 years ago. In this documentary, Di Rocco discovers the significance and inspiration of being Cuban American. Learn more about Nicolita here.

Nicolita models the Carmen Miranda

You never know where Nicolita will travel to or what she'll do next! For a recent photo shoot Nicolita designer Nicole Di Rocco traveled to cuba . Here's her take on going to the Tropicana:
The Tropicana nightclub was a magnet for international celebrities, musicians and beautiful
women. My father’s Habana home was directly across the street from the Tropicana. He
used to watch the chorus girls arrive at the club for their nightly performances from his
bedroom window. We enjoyed a performance at the Tropicana and it was incredible!
My father got to live out his childhood dreams of dancing with one of the show girls!

Nicolita Intern Alert: A Magical Key...

...can open the door to Nicolita's heart...

I love the Tiffany Keys Collection because it is simply quite exquisite. Each key is unique and features semi precious stones or diamonds in its design. You can combine the array of Tiffany Keys to create a very special token of love necklace. Romantic and alluring, these pendants sweep me off my feet. If one of Nicolita's special admirers gave her this magical Tiffany Key pendant, it would forsure last forever in her heart.

This keepsake reminds me of the romantic love Nicolita and Phillipe shared this year in Italy. When Phillipe serenaded Nicolita with the accordion and a lyrical sonnet, Nicolita could not help but fall in love. It must be Amore! The one-of-a-kind Amore Designer One Piece Swimwear with Deep V Backside Nicolita is wearing has a low-plunge back that flatters the small of her back. The crossing straps give support and an exotic design. The bra is a molded underwire cup giving supreme support to the strapless suit. It comes with a removable neck strap for extra support and versatility.

Falling in love is truly divine...

Nicolita Intern Alert: Applique, Gather, Hem, Stitch...

Yeah, you guessed it, sewing terminology!
For all you aspiring designers out there (Like Nicolita over 7 years ago), knowing how to sew is a must. And yes, knowing the terminology is highly recommended. As I blew the dust off of a long forgotten yet beloved site of mine, DailyCandy, I came across a posting perfect for you crafty and creative folks. If you don't own a sewing machine, Honfleur Home’s Sewing Cafe is your matchmaker. This East Coast cafe provides sewing machines by the hour along with a variety of fabrics and notions that are available for purchase in store. The convenience and availability all in one store could make you drool.

Nicolita's Designer, Nicole Di Rocco, started the brand by sewing on her Grandmother's Vintage Singer sewing machine. Just think, if you put your creativity and passion to the test, you can become just like Nicolita! 'Jet-setting the world and falling in love along the way!'

-DailyCandy, a free daily e-mail newsletter and website, is the insider’s guide to what’s hot, new, and undiscovered — from fashion and style to gadgets and travel.

Nicolita Intern Alert: Chic Romper

Rompers are light and loose-fitting thus perfect for the summer. However, one con about rompers is that they tend to come in one color, making the wearer look like a piece of fabric if not worn properly. Height is one crucial element that affects the wearer to look cute like the models in the picture. Browsing through shopbop.com I came across a chic romper that will make you look like a model. Sunner's Florent Romper gives your body proportion in all the right places. This is a two-tone woven romper with ruffle trim at split-V neck and double-button closure at front. Pleated banding and ruching at waist.

And it just so happens to be an editor's pick. Great minds think alike. I recommend a chic Knotty Nicolita bikini to go perfectly with the romper. The Knotty Nicolita Tube Top has a seamless knot that creates and enhances a heart-shaped bust line. Side boning and removable pads gives added support and lift as well. Front spaghetti strap neck tie is also removable. The Knotty Nicolita Bottoms is one-of-a-kind and creates a flattering heart-shaped backside. Reversible elastic on the waist creates a smooth look. Bottom is cut hipster style, creating an elongated torso.
