MIAMI. I miss that HOT HEAT. And there really is nothing better than MIAMI SWIM WEEK. Days are spent in your bikinis, working on your tan by the pool… nights spent seated at the runway shows with your toes in the sand! Sweaty, dewy skin and short shorts completely acceptable. My bikini collection is never ending and honestly, I’ve discovered so many incredible swim brands this past year. I think I have over 100 swimsuits?! That’s my vice. I can never get rid of my favorite KINIS. This season, Dylana and I went with my love Pooja of 6 Shore Road! I even closed in her runway show. Nose ring, smokey eyes, and all! I became that Tibetan Warrior on the catwalk.

When OFF DUTY, we explored the colorful art deco streets of Miami. I lived in my trusty light blue denim shorts, rompers, and just one pair of sandals. Bold and retro one-pieces, and bustier 2-pieces bringing vibrant colors and prints into my wardrobe. No make-up necessary. Take a peek into my Miami photo diary.

London is my TOP, TOP place to visit. I don’t know why, but I’ve been madly in love with England before I’ve even been there years back. Maybe it’s the accents? Maybe it’s the gloom? Maybe it’s the rock n’ roll? But honestly, I love everything London brings. I try hardest to go during fashion week each season. Luckily, I had a shoot there right smack dab in the middle of fashion week. Couldn’t be a better excuse to see friends and catch some shows! So knowing I’d be in London for literally only 2 nights, I packed about 4 items. This blouse, a skirt, another shirt, and a pair of jeans. After all the years of overweight baggage fees, I’ve opted to go for a carry-on and nothing else. Packing toooo light is now my problem, but I basically just mixed and matched everything I had. Going for this ruched camo bomber jacket (it’s insane!) with some florals, and some leather. VIOLA. That’s me at Somerset House. Snapped by my favorite Brit/Scottish girl EVER: Jennifer of StyleEast! (See her image below walkin in some vintage trousers and trainers) I became friends with this babe years ago in NYC. Now, I never make a London visit without WhatsApping the heck out of her and all our friends.

Another amazing thing at Somerset House? The streetstyle. So. Many. Hot. People. Londoners have this easy way of dressing. Thrown together and cool. So of course I snapped away. I used most for my WhoWhatWear Instagram takeover (thanks for everyone who followed along!) Here’s more snapshots to add to the bunch!
