Now Boarding: Here's Everything I'm Packing for 5 Days in Miami as an NYC Fashion Editor
After a long NYC winter, a trip to Miami sounds like a dream. The sun. The sand. The swimwear. I'm only going for five days, but my suitcase looks like I'm packing for a whole month. All my work of planning looks and coordinating accessories will be well worth it when it comes time to post that highly curated IG carousel mandatory for all Miami trips.
What's in my suitcase? Scroll on to find everything packed neatly in my MIA-bound luggage. Think photo-worthy dresses and bikinis, cover-ups and silk wraps you'd find only in a chic person's closet, and beauty preparations I've already begun before departure. Oh, and there's a gorgeous pair of earrings, a flirty anklet, and a straw sun hat that I'm counting on to elevate my outfits. 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 up a few striking 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.
