I'm Flying to Miami in 24 Hours—25 Items I'm Running to Zara to Buy and Pack
Despite writing about packing and vacation planning all day long, I'm not exactly the expert in actually doing either in a responsible manner. Usually, I think about making a packing list all the way up to a few hours before my actual flight, at which point I'm stuck throwing tons of pieces into my carry-on and hoping for the best. The result? Me ending up in Berlin without a coat, jacket, or any outerwear option at all and touching down in Mexico City sans a single pair of walking shoes.
Given that I'm flying to Miami for the Formula One Grand Prix in roughly 24 hours and have yet to take out my suitcase, I clearly haven't learned my lesson. Luckily, I live in a city that allows me to never be more than a walk, train ride, or cab ride away from Zara, and right now, everything the brand has in stock feels primed for a tropical vacation. Ahead, see which items I'm planning to buy and pack when I sprint over to whichever one is closest to me before I take off tomorrow.
