It’s always summer somewhere! If you’re in New York or any neighboring states and you’re not ready to switch out your summertime wardrobe for your fall one, you can find yourself in Miami in two hours and thirty minutes. 

Miami is one of the most popular cities in the United States. It is known for its nightlife and the unique combination of relaxation and work efficiency that it offers its residents. 

Here’s some tea for you:

Like many fashion capitals, the city has its own Fashion Week. Miami Fashion Week was started in the late ’90s and is considered to be one of the largest Fashion Weeks for Caribbean and Latin American fashion designers.

Additionally, Miami’s history has led to the city being a leading location for fashion start-ups. The city’s filled with countless boutiques that sell resort wear and swimwear similar to the leopard dress pictured above. 

Need a work-appropriate outfit? Runway Diva has a day-to-night look that is perfect for any occasion in this paradoxical city:

Miami is flooded with more than just fun and fashion. The city is also home to several popular outdoor event spaces including 1000 Palms Hideout.

1000 Palms Hideout served as the venue for this photoshoot and for the photoshoots of several celebrity advertisement campaigns. 

Finally, the city offers picture-perfect scenery with its beaches, nightlife, street art and art deco architecture making it an incredible source of inspiration for creatives looking for their spark.
