12th Street by Cynthia Vincent Dress, Karen Walker Sunglasses, Dolce Vita Sandals, Yves Saint Laurent Ring

I spent this weekend in the ultra-glam South Beach which was the extreme opposite from my last vacation destination (London). I first visited Miami two years ago and have been involved in a once-yearly love affair with the city ever since, but hoping (fingers crossed) to make it more frequent. It is wonderfully diverse in a way that makes you feel like you aren’t quite in America anymore, which is really what a vacation should feel like if you ask me. I found this 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent dress a few weeks before I left for Miami, but exercised praise worthy restraint in saving the dress for a first time wear in South Beach. Of course, unbeknownst to me, the chosen day for its debut ended up being a stroll down Ocean Drive during the Gay Pride Festival, which made be feel considerably overdressed. Maxi dresses are all the rage this spring, however, so naturally I received many compliments from the fashion savvy festival-goers and it was a fabulous time had by all.
