Reporting Live from South Beach

10/27/21 | East Coast, Florida, Live Travel Update, Miami, Travel

Live from South Beach - Pastel Lifeguard Hut on Miami South Beach

The Instagram caption of this post sums it up perfectly; “South Beach, bringing the heat  ☀️ 🌊 Bienvenidos a Miami, Welcome to  Miami!” Mark and I just wrapped up a few days of R&R and they just what the doctor ordered.   We have spent the past few day in Southern Miami Mark enjoying the warm weather and the beach, spending a long weekend in South Beach. 

I have been to Miami a few times before but this was Mark’s first visit so we stayed in the heart of South Beach and say many of the famous spots.  Take a look, reporting live from South Beach:

As our wedding is only a few days away we worked out at the hotel gym a handful of times.

Mark jokes that he is made of Winter and that I am made for Summer but it is true, we had a lovely afternoon in the sun.

    My husband and I are going for the holidays and this is giving me lots of wonderful tips.

    We have been trying to go for quite some time and just never felt safe enough to go there. So glad you were so brave and that you had such a wonderful time.

Hi, I am Kelly and welcome to Sparkles and Shoes, a fashion, travel, and lifestyle blog founded in 2012.  After six years of living in London I am back in New York with my husband and two littles!
