When in Rome

I just returned from a relaxing few days in South Beach, Florida. It is crazy how wildly different it is from my normal Florida get away, Boca Grande. I came home with some goodies I would not have tried on unless I was there and in the mood of South Beach. “When in Rome” was my mantra after a day of watching Brazilian beauties walking about gracefully in their Jimmy Choo heels. The Victoria’s Secret models swarmed by the paparazzi added  a bit of glitz and excitement to my sunbathing ritual. I quite enjoyed it and of course my husband did.

Who are they photographing???

We will blow you a kiss if you leave us alone.

You know we get paid ALOT for this.

While on my daily strolls around  town I really felt the vibe of South Beach. The Art Deco architecture and bigger than life fashion statements set off  by a little bling- a-ling kept my motor running. I was also captivated by the beauty and style of many of the South American and European women. I will admit I bought one of their slightly different “secrets” for looking dynamite  ( I wouldn’t have done it unless I was there).

I enjoyed the flavor of South Beach and indulged in the culture. I am going back to Florida next weekend. A different spot but I am going to get my South Beach on. I already have today !

When traveling  ANYWHERE  3 things that I don’t leave home without:

1. My jean jacket from college. Worn in just right, great for layering.

2. Statement handbag of the season.

3. A leopard dress, blouse, bikini… You pick. Leopard is universally chic.

A dose of leopard.

Try something new, it’s good therapy.
