Postcards from Vizcaya

Talk about #HouseGoals! Eric and I spent a wonderful afternoon touring the beautiful grounds of Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. The estate was originally built as the winter home of John Deering during the 1910s. Visiting grand historic homes of yore is one of my favorite things to do on vacation, and Vizcaya absolutely did not disappoint.

Since the blazing Miami sun can be brutal, I opted for cool comfort in this simple off-the-shoulder frock from Asos – easily the best $25 I’ve spent in a while!

As you can imagine, it was hard to tear myself away from these amazing views! If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend a stop.

Miami Vice {Old Navy Striped Sundress + Straw Tote}

I’m always a sucker for easy cotton pieces when it’s warm out, and this Old Navy striped sundress was perfect for exploring under the blazing Miami sun. I paired it with my trusty straw hat and matching tote that I picked up from J. Crew a couple of years ago. They’ve held up well over time, and they’re my constant companion for beach getaways because they’re so light and easy to pack. I love classic pieces like these that never seem to go out of style and can be mixed-and-matched a gazillion different ways.

Miami Beach {Crochet Coverup}

It’s been chilly and rainy in New York these past few weeks, so looking at these photos of me frolicking in the ocean with 80-degree temps just a few short weeks ago feels like a dream. Oh well… at least I have my memories to keep me warm.

In other news, you wouldn’t believe how difficult it was for me to find a white bikini! I knew I wanted something clean and simple that wouldn’t detract from the beautiful and intricate detail of my coverup, so I scoured the internet for a solid week before settling on this cute little number from Old Navy. It’s suprisingly supportive for an inexpensive bathing suit, a fact that I attribute to the removeable halter straps. The site claims the top can be worn as a strapless bandeau, but I didn’t find that to be a viable option if you’re over a C-cup, like me.

If you were following along with my vacation adventures on SnapChat, then you saw when I first revealed this gorgeous hand-crocheted coverup from Club Monaco. I love how it’s flirty but still leaves a little something to the imagination… well, at least by Miami standards, lol! I couldn’t find it online, but I’ve seen them recently in stores with a few other styles as well. I’ll admit, they’re a little pricey, but I managed to snag one on sale. In the meantime, below is a roundup of my favorite breezy white coverups at different price points.
