Coastal Closet: 3 Beauty Must-Haves for Fall

My little sister, Nicolle, called me this week to ask for a few beauty tips for her upcoming nuptials on Leap Day in February. Btw, I recently found out that my blogger sister, Rachelle Lucas, also got married on Leap Day! Someone last week at TBEX in Fort Lauderdale (a travel blogger conference) asked us if we were sisters and we said we were “blogger sisters.” Lol. Anyway, after talking to my biological sister about my beauty regime, I decided to post a few of my fave products here:

  • And because it’s completely unacceptable to look like a pasty white ghost in Miami, no matter what time of the year it is, I like to use a sunless tanner. I recently started using Rodan+Fields Foaming Sunless Tan, purchased from Lindsay Dufresne, who is absolutely one of my favorite people on this planet! You should buy stuff from her just because she is awesome.

Prime Fish in SoFi Launches New Weekend Brunch & Celebrating Charlotte

SoFi is one of my favorite Miami Beach neighborhoods and it also happens to be home to concentration of a great collection of restaurants like Big Pink, Prime One Twelve, Prime Italian and Prime Fish. And since Miami is the ultimate city for the brunch crowd, Prime Fish recently launched a delectable new weekend brunch.

You’ll want to try the lobster omelette, brioche french toast and eggs Benedict. The good news is that you don’t have to pick just one dish. Load up your plate at the buffet and go back again and again. The brunch price ($49 per person) also includes bottomless mimosas, bellinis and house made Bloody Mary’s.

I’ve been twice since they launched the new brunch–including last weekend for my friend Katie Phang’s adorable daughter’s first birthday. Katie is a legal analyst on Fox News and Greta Van Susteren gave little ladybug Charlotte an amazing shoutout on live TV! charlotte-birthday
