After a long NYC winter, a trip to Miami feels like a dream. Sun. Sand. Swimwear. I’m only going for five days, but my suitcase looks like I’ve been packing for an entire month. When the time comes to post the inevitable highly curated IG carousel of all Miami trips, all my work planning looks and coordinating accessories will be worth it.
What’s in my suitcase? Scroll through to see everything neatly packed in my MIA-bound luggage. Think photo-worthy dresses and bikinis, cover-ups and silk wraps you’d only find in an attractive person’s wardrobe, and the beauty preparations I’ve started well before departure. Oh, and there’s a gorgeous pair of earrings, a flirty anklet, and a straw sun hat I’m counting on to elevate my outfit. Your usual suspects, like drawstring linen trousers and kitten-heel thong sandals, are in attendance, but I’ve also stepped outside my comfort zone and picked out some flowy dresses and daring swimsuits (hello, Reformation and Dos Gardenias), so keep your eyes peeled for those. Ahead, see what this NYC fashion editor is packing for Miami.
