Hi friends! I have an upcoming trip to France that I would love some outfit inspo for :) I have a packing list started feel free to check it out…but it feels very one note to me. Would love to add some color and variety vs my default of everything black lol.

Destinations: Paris, Nice, Monaco, Eze, Menton. So a mix of city and beach!
Dates: 2 weeks late Sept-early Oct. I’m thinking it’ll be cool-ish esp in the evening so fall ideas would be great. Hoping for beach weather tho we’ll see lol also it’ll be FASHION WEEK in Paris 😃
About me: 32F from the US, style is 99% modern and minimal 1% androgynous and edgy. I am open to trying almost anything but prefer things that are simple, elevated, and classic :)

I will have laundry access so repeat pieces are encouraged! Absolutely open to feedback as well about things you think are missing.

I’m dedicated to styling you back asap 🫶🏻 thanks!!

Hello! I wanted to share my experiences at a few of the spas along Miami Beach for anyone looking at booking one for Spa Month. I’ve tried the Carillon (Jan 2025), The 1 Hotel (Jan 2026), and The Edition (Jul 2026) and received a 50 minute massage at each. I believe all of these hotels are participants for Spa Month.

Overall favorite: Carillon
Best ambiance: Edition
Most offerings: Carillon
Best spa service: Carillon
Friendliest staff: Edition and Carillon

Carillon:
I purchased a 50 min massage or facial through Resort Pass for $243 (no grat). The pass came with the service, comp’ed or discounted valet parking (I don’t remember exactly), and a beach chair. After purchase, I had to call the spa directly to schedule the appointment. A little clunky but no issues. Signage for the spa was easy to navigate upon arrival. I was handed a robe in my size of choice and given a locker that included slides. This is the only facility that utilized key cards for spa access and to the lockers.

Their facilities are a touch dated IMO but they had the most offerings in terms of spa experience. The pass included jacuzzis, steam rooms, saunas, cold rooms, warming chairs, foot baths, and more. Beverage station included serval different teas. Facility was huge. Their showers were also the only ones with a space for your things/changing as well as a swimsuit dryer. Bath products were Comfort Zone and I’ve come very close to purchasing them myself. Massage was fantastic too; I left super rejuvenated. I received samples of the body oil, body wash, and lotion plus a cooling eye mask. Beach access was easy just mentioned my day pass. Service from the restaurant was good and fish tacos were delicious. Every staff member I interacted with was very friendly. Also they were ALWAYS cleaning. I always recommend the Carillon and will return.

1 Hotel:
I purchased and scheduled a 50 min de-stress massage directly through the hotel’s website for $236 (no grat). Had no idea where the spa was when I got there so had to ask the front desk lol could’ve been user error. Facility was very small - only a common lounge and locker rooms. No complaints about the massage service itself but also it wasn’t memorable. Locker included robe and was locked via custom pin on keypad. Service did not include a beach pass or anything else. They did have care items (hair ties, cotton rounds, etc) by the sinks but very limited. Beverage area had fruits and infused waters. Valet was $60 (barf). I left immediately after the massage. 5.5/10. Lost a lot of points for how busy the hotel was. Staff were kind but not above and beyond. Probably won’t return.

Miami Beach Edition:
I called to book the Spa Month special which included a 50 min custom massage, beach pass, Prosecco, and discounted valet parking. After gratuity, the service was $238 ($199 special price + 20% grat). Spa was slightly difficult to find (again maybe user error), but after trying a few elevators we got there.

Intake questionnaire asked if I wanted a quick tour or comprehensive and I opted for the latter since I had never been there. I guess I was expecting an expansive facility based on the word comprehensive but quickly lowered my expectations once we started. There is only a salon for hair/makeup/nails, a common lounge, and locker rooms. If the comprehensive tour was only 3-5 mins I wonder what the quick version is lol

Massage was better than The 1 but not as revitalizing as Carillon. Included in the special is the option for hot stones or scalp massage - I went for the stones. I liked the aesthetics/ambiance of the facilities here the most. There was a steam room but I did not use it. The showers were huge and offered Edition branded soaps. They had Le Labo by the sink though. Sink area also had a few care items but inside the lockers there was a full kit with comb, dental kit, razor, and more (plus slides and robe in a size I chose in the questionnaire). Lockers used the same key pad as The 1 which I have come to hate. Beverage area had a pre made tea, infused waters, and some lucky charms lookin ass mix. Only had my free glass of Prosecco lol

Probably would’ve been a 9/10 but there was clearly a communication issue between the spa and valet/beach on the promotion. Beach attendant did not know access was included but “did me a favor since I was by myself” (was fine after that) and valet charged me $40 (discounted from $50) instead of $20 as advertised. I hope this is resolved as Spa Month goes on but if you go definitely stand your ground on the deals. Despite this, all of the staff were very friendly, happy to help and chatty. I would return. Also the World Cup hot dog special was bangin.

Happy to answer any specific questions you may have about the spas or services. Thanks for the read and hope you have a great weekend!
