... Read moreMiami is truly one of those cities that never fails to captivate me with its unique mix of sun, culture, and style. Staying at The Shelborne by The Proper gave me the perfect base to experience everything this lively city offers. From sunrise beach walks to sunset rooftop drinks, Miami provides an endless palette of memorable experiences. One place I highly recommend is the bustling South Beach area, just minutes away from The Shelborne. It’s a hotspot for vibrant dining, eclectic shopping, and people-watching. The iconic Art Deco architecture colorfully lines the streets, reminding you that Miami truly celebrates its rich history while embracing modern luxury. During my stay, I took time to explore beyond the tourist spots. A visit to Wynwood Walls was a must for me—this open-air street art museum showcases amazing murals and creative energy you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re into lifestyle and fashion like me, Miami also offers some great hidden boutiques and independent local designers. For anyone planning a quick Miami getaway, packing light but smart is key. Bring your best summer dresses or casual chic wear for day outings, and a stylish outfit or two for nighttime events at trendy bars or beach clubs. Don’t forget sun protection—the Florida sun can be intense! Above all, Miami taught me the joy of balancing relaxation with vibrant city life, making each moment feel both exciting and rejuvenating. The Shelborne by The Proper perfectly complements that vibe with its blend of luxury service and laid-back ambiance. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned visitor, Miami’s charms are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Why you should choose to go to college at UMiami!
Of course I’m a bit biased, but I definitely think that the University of Miami is the best! There’s so many different opportunities and everyone absolutely loves being here. Being so close to both the beach and the city makes no two days alike. One day you’re studying for finals and the next year

Raccoon Island . 📍 Sandspur Island (near Oleta River State Park) . This was wild! It is not recommended to approach wild animals. Raccoon Island is loaded with wild raccoons who have become use to human interaction. Many go to this island to get a glimpse of the these creatures. Would you go?

Miami vs. Ft. Lauderdale 🌴 what’s better?
Only about 45 min from each other by car, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are both located in the south of Florida. Many people choose Miami because it’s more well-known, however Fort Lauderdale has lots to offer too and might even be a more favorable option for some people due to its more laid back
