Kendra's Miami Fashion Challenge

I was recently contacted by Kendra Thornton, a well-known travel expert.  She has been featured on several news channels and shows such as Tyra Banks and Nate Berkus.  She offered me a fashion challenge and of course, I accepted!

Here's the challenge:

My latest fashion challenge is out! This time I am in need of an upgrade for my trip to Miami with my husband. We are taking a special romantic getaway and it's about time that I do something with my wardrobe that is a little bit more posh. There's no better time than for a trip to a fashion destination like Miami. Whether we are shopping or taking a boat out to the bay, I want to look and feel great no matter. To give you a better idea, these are some details of our getaway to Miami.
We are staying at a swanky place called the Delano South Beach Hotel. It's located right in the center of South Beach and is just steps away from the boardwalk. I fell in love with the photos of this hotel on the social media booking website gogobot. I am looking forward to the luxurious suites, premium amenities and amazing 3,200 square foot rooftop spa on top of the hotel. It's called Club Essentia.
While we're in Miami, we're going to be walking around a lot to get a good look at all of the different beaches, landmarks, art and culture that can be found here. I definitely want to check out the boutiques in Design District or just head over to the Lincoln Road Mall. There is some exceptional shopping here.
I'm so excited to be going on this trip. I have planned out a few nights to just spend celebrating with my husband, and I want an outfit that makes me feel special while making his jaw drop. In addition, I need a new bathing suit to finish off these selections. I hope there is something that you can put together for me that will make me feel gorgeous as we stroll down the boardwalk and spend time in the Miami sun. I'm so thankful for your advice and participation. I love your styles and can't wait to see the results of this challenge!
How fun does this challenge sound?! I started brainstorming immediately - when I think of Miami, I think sexy, bright colors, and a touch of neon! I put my mad skills to work and came up with these creations:

For a day at the pool...
Kimono Coverup 
Swimsuit Top in Coral Blaze
Swimsuit Bottoms in Coral Blaze
Sunglasses
Earrings
Wedge

For a stroll down the boardwalk (which usually means shopping), a fun outfit is a must - and if wedges to the pool aren't your thing, these sandals are a great alternative…

Dress
Tote
Necklace
Sandals - More sizes found here

For a night on the town, I chose this simple but sexy white dress to bring emphasis to the neon accessories - it'll cause heads to turn…


Dress
Earrings
Bangles
Heels - More sizes here
Clutch
Lip Color in 01 Fuchsia Desinvolte


It has been so much fun working on this project and can't thank Kendra enough for this amazing opportunity! Enjoy your trip, take tons of pictures, and be fabulous!


XOXO,
The Stylist
