Karen Huggins Shares Her Favorite Miami Styles
Five occasions. A personal take on dressing for Miami.
In Karen Huggins’s words
I am Karen! A Venezuelan who spends as much time as possible on her greatest passion: traveling and exploring new things. What I love most are the people I meet and the way every place expresses fashion. It’s about discovering, feeling and living experiences, getting out of your comfort zone and enjoying the great adventure that life is.
Since I was a kid, I was obsessed with traveling the world that’s why I decided to study International Foreign Affairs. Traveling is the best way to learn and educate ourselves.
I have been living abroad since October 2007, taking a piece of every place in my heart: from Barcelona the beautiful multicultural philosophy, from Madrid the joy, from Argentina the passion, from Miami the sunshine state of mind and from Venezuela (my country) the latin flavor.
Fashion is my passion and I decided to create my personal blog on July 2017 in order to share with people my style ideas, travel tips and insights around the world. I want to highlight that fashion is for everyone, mixing high-street with high-fashion and most importantly, that style is all about being effortless chic.
I’m based in Miami since 2014 and would love to show you a list with my 5 favorite styles for Miami:
BBQ Day
BBQ day: The weather in Miami is hot half of the year so I like to wear a light maxi dress, wedge sandals or mules (when in doubt https://www.revolve.com/ for dresses and shoes).
Brunch
Brunch: I like the classic and girly style so I will go with shorts and a statement tank top – can be paired with high heels espadrilles and a tote bag (I`m obsessed with the Artisan of IQ handbags and earrings https://artisansofiq.com/ )
Date Night
Date night: a Black dress is always a good idea, I like the classic style for a date.
Events
Events: I love Blazers and if I can wear them as a dress.. better! I pick a colorful blazer dress and elegant sandals, I would add statement earrings.
Beachwear
Now as for beach wear, I love the unique prints and designs from Camilla www.camilla.com and Agua de Coco Swimsuits and beachwear (check their popular instagram @aguadecoc). Don’t forget your sunglasses sunglasses and hat!
The Beauty Edit
My 5 favorite beauty products to go with it:
SPF 50 every day on the face
La Prairie Anti-Aging Rapid Response (it`s amazing how it erases dark spots and little blemish scars)
La Prairie Interception Power Duo (Day-Night)
Dior Hydra Life BB Cream (the secret for a flawless skin in one product)
I always used luxury lines mascaras because I thought they were the best but once I found NYX Worth the Hype Mascara (recommended by an amazing makeup artist @dannymiamipower), I was amazed.
Maybelline Nude lip Liner.
