Meet Florencia, Frances Valentine's own Director of Marketing and resident nail artist. Florencia took our new Resort pieces for a spin in her hometown of Miami. Take a peek at her getaway looks and read about her perfect day in the Magic City.

The ultimate form of self-expression and exploration. I wouldn’t say I have a very defined style, rather it’s fun to play around with different aesthetics and ideas and I love looking back at photos and seeing how my sense of style and self changes over the years.

Nail art. I got a gel kit for my birthday 3 years ago and I’ve been unstoppable ever since.

My skincare!

Spending time in good company. 

What are you looking forward to?

A year full of travel. This year I’m prioritizing experiences and making memories. 

Ideal day in Miami?

Head down Little Buenos Aires, pick up facturas (Argentinian pastries) and coffee from Buenos Aires Bakery and enjoy them at the beach. Once I’m ready to go I love grabbing some tacos from Taquiza and then basking in the afternoon sun by the pool with friends. If the sun hasn’t totally zapped me, finish off the day at Lagniappe and seeing where the night takes me!
