LHQ in Miami

Hello my beauties,

I have finally been to MIAMI. I have written in the past about the best ways to travel. You can read my last post here or see my quick reel on instagram here.

This is my “jump to the recipe” list of where I stayed, ate and explored in SOUTH BEACH and LITTLE HAVANA. Save this post and come back to read about what I wore and share my experiences. I am also gluten-intolerant and was able to find something delicious to eat everywhere I went. Want to see what I wore and styled my hair? Jump to the bottom.

Planning a wedding? Enjoy the breath-taking views of Sunset Cove by Imagine, the venue for our second wedding of the week!

Now on to what I packed!

You can see above I mixed and matched some simple basics. I packed two pairs of shorts, my favorite pair of jeans, five tops, a white button down and the perfect hand-me-down baby pink tool skirt from a dear friend.

When traveling I always pack at least two pairs of shoes. I mostly wore my tan sandals and white sneakers. This trip was the exception as I also brought my pink platforms and white pumps.

I am a lucky lady who owns an AFYX dress. I wore this dress to both weddings but in different styles. I love this dress so much and will be posting about it in the future.

My purse is from Shop The Cue. I love a small bag that fits in my carry-on and is easy to wear for outings. A few of my tops and shorts are from there as well. My favorite boutique to shop. Check it out.

I brought my black one piece bathing suit I bought in Portugal 4 years ago, and I treated myself while I was shopping on Lincoln Drive to a new two piece bikini.

My earrings are from Milly’s Clay Studio.

My spray tan that I never go on vacation without is of course The Bronze Method.

I had the best time in Miami. There is something there for everyone. You can have a wild weekend or days of relaxation at the spa, beach or pool side. I love the vibe down there. People were so kind and warm. The food scene was great and I’m sure I only scratched the surface of what is available. I will definitely be coming back.

Did you like some of my hairstyles? I will be diving into my travel hair tips and tricks in posts to come. My new thing is everywhere I go, domestic and international, I plan on treating myself to a blow out towards the end of my trip. I love to learn new tips and tricks to bring home to all my gals at the studio. You can see above, I went to the Lapris Spa. Being there for the day was fabulous and I loved my blow out!

What did you think of my outfit choices? Let me know in the comments below! I would love to know if you have been to any of these places too. Share it all!
