MIAMI BOUND Packing List

I am sooo excited I am headed to Miami next month!!! It’s one of those cities on my bucket list, and lucky for me, I was able to extend a business trip into the weekend with a friend/client. I am pulling out pieces from the archives (i.e. “back of the closet/never worn”) and picking up a few new pieces here and there. But if I were to start from scratch, it might go a little something like this…

1. Parker maxi dress, $265  / 2. Tom Ford black “Jennifer” sunglasses, $380  / 3. Calvin Klein white blazer, $129.50  / 4. Laundry by Shelli Segal “Indian Summer” bikini, $130  (one-piece, $128) / 5. Diane von Furstenberg “Gracie” clutch, $245  / 6. Alice + Olivia glittered jumpsuit, $140 / 7. BEC&BRIDGE “Bellini” drape sash dress, $338 / 8. Catherine Malandrino jumpsuit, $395 / 9. Bop Bijoux cuff bracelet, $68 / 10. KORS silver “Brookton” sandals, $152 (also in black and gold) / 11. KORS white patent snakeskin sandals, $275 (also in silver, nude, black) 

/

A little deco, a lotta glam…I always pack for trips with a color story — do you?

      Thanks for the tip! I’m staying at The Palms Hotel which I think is north of South Beach. Not familiar with the area, but the hotel is on the beach and looks divine…can’t wait!!!
