Most recently, Shareen was interviewed by The Miami New Times where she spoke about Miami"s distinctive style. "I"ve seen a lot of cities where people just want to blend in. Other cities take themselves very seriously, under all those layers. Here [Miami], it"s very like I"m going to get on my beach cruiser bike, put on some big sunglasses, and go to the beach" stated Shareen. This stylist knows about Miami"s sazon!
