Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Miami. Before I first went in 2022, I honestly was a little scared. I had this idea that it was all parties, clubbing, and loud music. That just wasn't my vibe for a vacation, so I always overlooked it. While that part of the city definitely exists, Miami completely defied my expectations, and I got to see a different side.
The warmest ocean water I've ever felt. Relaxing on the beach while a man playing saxophone serenades me and my boyfriend with "Peaches" by Justin Bieber. Restaurants with meals I still think about. Biking on Millionaire's Row past Michael Bay's house. A drive to the Everglades, where I saw some of the coolest wildlife I'd ever seen. Since then, I've been obsessed.
When the opportunity to attend Paraiso Miami Swim Week and stay at The Ritz Carlton, South Beach got passed along to me, I knew I had to go. With the trip coming up at the end of May, I've already started mentally packing and narrowing down what's going in my carry-on. Here's everything I'm bringing.
I first saw these on TikTok and immediately wanted them.
One of my MargeSherwood bags.
My Cou Cou Intimates midi.
This lovely Leslie Amon dress.
The Chimi Code Sunglasses.
Sheer dresses, including this one by Gimaguas.
I love how unique this Baserange one-piece is.
This halter in the shade Hibiscus from Affection Blvd.
I have a feeling I'll wear this white cotton skirt a lot.
This cute Fruity Booty bikini.
With swim shorts.
Kitten-heel sandals, of course.
The perfect summer scent.
Belkys Studio is one of my favorite small brands.
I love Miaou.
Clearly, I'm into polka dots right now.
The Pink by Frankies Bikinis collaboration.
With matching bottoms.
I don't recommend hair products lightly, especially when they're on the pricier side, but Rōz is worth it. I've noticed a real difference using the Milk Hair Serum, and I love how it doesn't weigh my hair down. If you're curious, the brand also has a travel-size set.
Hill House Home has a new collection, which includes this halter mini.
I recently received the Gimaguas x Havaianas sandals, so I'll be bringing those with me. While they aren't currently being sold to the public, you could do a simple black pair.
Stand Oil Mary Janes.
My Bonnie Clydes.
Cult-favorite esthetician Sofie Pavitt recommended this Nivea gel sunscreen to me.
I received this sweet Silent Opus charm as a gift.
This red swimsuit.
More swim shorts.
I always make sure to bring a claw clip and scrunchie on vacation.
Multiple simple white tank tops.
This skirt took me by surprise.
