The magic of the yes

Mia B. Zamora 09/28/2016

The art of being a gentleman

Mia B. Zamora 08/31/2016

Fashion in film

Mia B. Zamora 08/03/2016

I LOVE movies and I love fashion. So when these two collide, the result to me is truly an exhilarating experience. There used to be a time (before Google and cellphones) where, as an eight-year-old girl, I’d…

Mia B. Zamora 05/18/2016

“WHY are you single?” I never really know how to answer that question. Sometimes, it is asked with simple curiosity, sometimes with disbelief (maybe you’re too choosy), sometimes with suspicion (there must be something wrong with you),…
