Headed to Miami this weekend with my best lady friend and here’s what the inside of my suitcase looks like. Miami is one of those destinations where I want to be wearing outfits with bright colors, glitz, embellishments, and sex appeal, much like if I were traveling to Las Vegas. My daytime looks are a black and white printed maxi dress and a strapless jumpsuit, accessorized with a straw fedora, raffia sandals and a raffia clutch. The great thing about shopping for swimwear, sundresses, and sandals this time of year, is that everything is on sale.
For evening it’s all about glam with a dash of outrageous thrown in. This gold Bebe jumpsuit does the trick wonderfully. If I feel like being a little more elegant one night I’ll wear this gorgeous Maggy London blue abstract print dress; it reminds me of the Van Gogh painting Starry Night. When traveling, I bring as few shoes as possible, they just take up too much room. This Jeffrey Campbell embellished heel is SO Miami and will work perfect with both outfits. I get compliments on this shoe everywhere I go, and surprise, it’s also very comfortable! There will be plenty of room in my bag for extra cocktail rings, bracelets and what have you.
Sunshine & lady time, here I come!
