Hello Darlings, Whenever a woman checks her bags at the gate, she always says a little prayer hoping that her beloved wardrobe and most importantly shoes arrive at the final destination. This is especially the case when travelling for fashion week because being stranded without a wardrobe would be a crises more so than any other time. As Miya – beauty editor at TheYouthSociety.com – and I said our farewell to the luggage, it was supposed to have been just a quick 3 hour flight to the sunny Miami.

Unfortunately our trip started off on an adventurous side of Miami airport being closed and our flight making an emergency landing at Fort Myers to refuel. With a two hour setback we safely landed in Miami and as did our luggage. Some will say that it’s not the destination but the journey that matters, well if our journey to the destination was any telltale sign then the week ahead surely seemed promising. And in fact it was but on that a little later! As we pulled up to Mondrian South Beach it was with a great relief that we checked into our room rushing to get ready for the 10th anniversary Swim Week opening party.

Hello Darlings, Making a change in life is never easy. Change always takes time and patience. Now making a change in another individual’s life comes with patience that can take a lifetime. Many of us would recognize that a change starts with a sole individual and grows into a movement with the support and care of others. Not many people would volunteer themselves for a position of making one’s goal in life to create change. However our world wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for those brave ones that did make that very decision.

So here’s a thought… make a change that is within our reach. After all there’s a reason it is said that change starts within a community. I never really thought about this point of view until one afternoon when my personal experience made me want to get involved. This past year and a half has been challenging and exhilarating all at once. The personal story still leaves me feeling vulnerable when sharing but the experience of having one’s life changed because of another individual’s actions is something that I know far too well.

Hello Darlings, My weekend away with my SPG Amex Card in South Beach proved that during the daytime, South Beach is leisure central, but once the sun sets the beach truly comes to life. As this is a final part of my South Beach getaway, please check out the first here. There’s a plethora of opportunities to participate in, whether it’s lavish dinner parties or going out to a night club with your friends. Here is a recap of my favourite evenings out while exploring South Beach.

One of the best perks of being a Starwood Preferred Guest from Amex Cardmember is the many ways I can use my Starpoints. Not only did I use my Starpoints to book my flight and hotel stay, but at the end of my stay at W South Beach, I was able to use my leftover Starpoints to settle a big part of our room service charges. Another highlight and unique offer that comes along with my SPG Amex Card is their Instant Awards program. Cardmembers can cash in their Starpoints for free dinners in the hotel restaurant or even spa days.
