The Great American Road Trip: Miami

HuffPost Social Reading




Bienvenido a Miami! We plan to spend the morning walking around Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the gorgeous (and enormous) Italian Renaissance-style estate. Then we're off to Little Havana for a lunch of Ropa Vieja, croquetas and plantains. No Afternoon would be complete without a little shopping. We'll hit up The Webster, which stocks Eres, Lisa Marie Fernandez and Basta Surf for the best swimwear. We'll end the day sipping mojitos poolside at the Raleigh Hotel.

This week our packing list is all about Miami Vice meets Art Deco -- bright solids with architectural accessories.

Click to see what we packed, and stay tuned to see where we land next!
