On Thursday I am heading to South Beach for three nights! This is a hybrid trip. The main purpose is to shoot my upcoming collection for Amazon the Drop. But you might remember I had been talking about taking a luxurious solo trip somewhere warm where all I do is read and lay in the sunshine and relax so I decided to combine the two things. I’m really excited. I am going to be staying at the beautiful Four Seasons Surfside (I’ve wanted to stay there for SO LONG), and as it worked out I have two friends in town so we’ll have a fun dinner on Friday night after my shoot. But other than the shoot and dinner, I’m going to be luxuriating in the sunshine, sleeping in, and going to bed early. In the prettiest place ever. I can’t wait.
Packing for Miami
I bought a few new things for the trip – namely this white dress and these ugly cute sandals which I’m so excited about. I have that dress in a bunch of other colors and it’s a fav. I’m so happy they finally made it in white!
On the beauty front, I am keeping things minimal. I’m getting a spray tan tonight, and will be wearing this illuminating sunscreen pretty much non stop (it’s SO PRETTY – longer review to come) and using this dry oil sunscreen on my body. For face it will probably just be a bit of this mascara, brow gel, and a bold coral lip. Oh and this face + body powder which is becoming one of my favorite highlighters. Easy, breezy!
PS – Sorry for no outfit diary. I totally slipped up with taking my outfit photos last week! Will be back on track next week!
PPS – The Shopbop “Buy More Save More” sale is in effect! So you can take up to 25% off with code SPRING! My fav dress is a part of the sale and I can’t stop thinking about this lemon yellow dress… it’s in my cart and I’m halfway there on pulling the trigger. You know I cannot resist bright citrus yellow!

omg love this yellow dress!!!
Isn’t it so good! I saw it first on Garance Dore’s site and had to have it!!!
That goop sunscreen sounds great – I’m surprised its listed as clean at Sephora though as it is a chemical sunscreen. I’m always on the lookout for good mineral sunscreens as I get hives from chemical ingredients – such a bummer. Have fun in Miami!
Hi Andrea!
My understanding in speaking to the Supergoop team is that there’s clean mineral sunscreens and also clean chemical sunscreens. Clean chemical sunscreens are free of all the known toxic chemicals but yes, they’re still chemical. It’s definitely the wild wild west. I find that I personally prefer a clean chemical sunscreen to mineral as I can’t get mineral susncreen off without scrubbing for ages and ages!
That is very true! If my skin liked chemical I’d be in the same boat. Thanks for explaining!
YAYYYY have the best time girl!

I love, love, love those bright orange slippers! Didn’t think they were my style but they’d be perfect for Miami. You must get them, Grace! ๐
