CRAVINGS: south beach.

Over the weekend, Mike and I finalized our bookings for a special little get-away in September. It seems crazy even just writing this out, but this year we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary… talk about high school sweethearts, right? Since 10 years of love are definitely something to celebrate, we decided to skip town and have our celebratory dinner in South Beach Miami instead. So excited! Even though we already booked our flights a good 2 weeks ago, we just finalized our hotel this past weekend, so now it is officially time to start planning (and shopping). This will be my second time to South Beach and I fell head over heels the first time around. I know that it is a place that can totally polarize – some love it, some hate it –  but for me, the tropical climate, super chic art deco houses, endless white beach with striped umbrellas and all of the incredible food (hello Cuban!) are reason enough to love it! Inspired by the colors and culture, I’ve been browsing the online shops all weekend and have to admit, it didn’t take long for some serious cravings to develop …

• Gucci GG Marmont velvet bag: Usually, I am one to invest into subtle colors and more durable materials than velvet. However, this bag was love at first sight and I kind of wish I wouldn’t have seen it … such a stunnter!

• Eisenberg Paris Sublime Tan: I’ve had this for years and have been saving the last few drops since I couldn’t find a place to re-buy it anywhere. It is crazy expensive (50€ for the bottle…) but in my opinion the most amazing tanning oil out there. Plus, it is one of the few oily products that actually doesn’t make my skin itch. Yesterday, I finally found it in the German Douglas store (not Austria funny enough) and saw that they ship the Vienna for 5€. Clearly I wasn’t thinking when I spent 55€ in total on a tanning product, but I do really love it and can’t wait to use it in Miami.

• Free People Sunsetter dress: I love this dress because I feel like it is not only super suitcase friendly but also a true allrounder. Wear it with sandals for a casual beachy vibe or pair it with killer heels and red lips for a date-night look.

• Marysia Broadway scalloped bikini: I have this exact bikini in black and have been wearing it to death. The perfect fit! Now, I’d love to add a color to my collection but am not quite sure if I can pull this one off … maybe a light pink would be a safer bet!

• Thierry Lasry cat-eye sunglasses: I have this thing with a tortoiseshell effect and gold. My favorite combination ever when it comes to sunglasses!

• Birkenstock Arizona sandals: The Arizona sandals by Birkenstock are some of the most popular ones, but I have never seen this version with the more luxe material. Perfect for a quick stroll to the beach.

• Rag & Bone straw fedora hat: After borrowing Kathi’s hat on Koh Samui, I think it is time to get my own. Still on the lookout for the perfect option, but this one is a good contender so far.
