Mornings in the pool, lazy afternoons by the grill, and evenings out on the town with hubby and pals – this is my kind of holiday! Normally, when I go away, I tend to be super active and over-plan (I can’t help it, it comes with the territory of being Type A). However, this time around in Miami, I managed to let myself slow down and do literally very little. Suffice to say, it was a nice change of pace.
Here, we’re strolling in the gardens at the Standard Miami, and I’m wearing my own interpretation of Miami glam (viva la black and gold!). It all began with the shoes (sometimes I style my look that way – from bottom to top). I decided to take my golden platforms for a night out on the town (I don’t wear these puppies very often, though I must admit, this is the second time I brought them to Miami… must be a Pavlovian trigger of sorts!).
The rest came together rather fluidly. I really like my new Alexander Wang skirt, the stretch fabric guarantees comfort and plenty of utility (particularly forgiving after a sumptuous meal), and the back zipper lends an added, symmetrical detail (not to mention a little hint of sexiness that goes a long way). The speckle of sequins on my flowy Calypso top is about as bedazzled as I can go, and the rest are just statements I adore… a little bit of shine, with a little bit of edge.
It was a lovely date, one that took us to the Design District of Miami (my first time, and I absolutely vow to go back!!). Though you can never go wrong by kicking off an evening with some waterfront cocktails – it just sets the perfect tone for the rest of your night out!
