Bienvenido a Miami! From white sandy beaches to the great works of Art Basel, the Magic City has so much to see and offer — and what better place to get started (and inspired!) than in the heart of it all, Ocean Drive? Here, my top five reasons why it’s high time to party in the city where the heat is on!

You may not be able to tell from January’s frigid temperatures but Spring will be here before you know it (we promise!). So, obviously, it’s time for a wardrobe refresh! Get started on stocking your closet for the upcoming months by seeking out the trends that lit up the Spring 2013 runways. Check out some of the top trends from our fave designers that we just can’t wait to wear – and get the look (for way less!) 

Forget dresses and skirts, this season designers are making a statement with daring, notice-me-now pants. From Diane von Furstenberg’s brightly colored palazzos to Moschino’s graphic numbers, the message on the runway was loud (literally!) and clear: This season it’s all about ‘wow’ pants. 

Printed or bold trousers can be tricky to pull off, so we’d recommend embracing this trend’s simpler, more practical cousin: The statement jean. Whether you go for a pair in a mega-watt shade, or fun graphic design, you’ll be sure to look casually cool – and super on trend. 

Mais, oui! Ladylike peplums were all over the runways during Paris Fashion Week, not to mention miles of starlet-filled red carpets. So if you want to wear this flirty ruffle, you’re not alone. Check out some of our fave celebs showing us how their hips don’t lie, then see how you can work the peplum in your wardrobe:
