Let me clue you in to one aspect of New York life: As soon as the frigid winter temperatures set in, many of the city's residents flock farther south to escape the cold. This past weekend, I was one of them. Not only did Florida's popular beach destination offer the warm-weather getaway I was hoping for, but also the city was also abuzz with celebrities and tastemakers from across the fashion, music, and art worlds who descended on Miami Beach for Art Basel.
Being a travel-obsessed fashion editor and a Miami novice, I can assure you my suitcase was overflowing with outfits, and I'm here to say that the overweight fees were well worth the extra baggage. I managed to squeeze nine-plus looks into the span of my four-day trip, which included everything from beach days to art gallery visits and a few fun cocktail hours. Not to brag, but I think I did a pretty good job emulating Miami's bright and bold aesthetic because my outfits seemed to earn a slew of compliments at every turn.
Naturally, I'm sharing every last detail of my looks and where I wore them in case you need inspiration for your next trip.
