Flash back Friday to last year when we were stranded at the ATL airport trying to get to Miami!! I am standing in concourse A, one of the busiest sections of the ATL airport and no one was there! This was during the big ice storm that rocked the southeast last year. We began traveling at 3:30 A.M. on this day so please know the only outfit option was just yoga clothes. Period. End of story.
My husband is in the boating industry and every February is the International Miami boat show. I got to tag along with him a couple years ago and South Beach changed me life. I L-O-V-E it!!! The diversity of the cultures, the people watching, the clothes, just the vibe in general. So I have a huge soft spot for Miami. I got my first Clover Canyon dress the year before last while shopping a little boutique and it is one of my most prized possessions. Clover Canyon is a vibrant jersey line of prints. Killer prints!! And the jersey is the most slimming material and comfortable. Last year we visited the Versace mansion and I tripped right onto the steps! It was a dream come true, busted knee and all.
Needless to say my attire for this trip is well thought out for each day. Because anything goes in South Beach! It's like a no judgement zone. We are in fact in the tree with the nest.
A trip like this is something I have prepared for throughout the year. And when I say that I mean, as I have shopped the sale rack throughout the year when I have come across a tacky, out there item that is on sale for $5 and you think who would buy this?! The answer is, me, me and me. All day everyday, ME! Last year I was at my favorite consignment store and found a blue leather dress for $15. Sounds horrible, I know! But guess what, it's the first thing I'm packing for this trip and I can't wait to share how I have styled it and WHERE I will be rockin this fab little dress to. So stick around because the Miami vibes are about to be bringing the heat next week! We've got an awesome group of friends who will also be joining us for some festivities and they show up to show out too. Welcome to Miami.
