Comfortable flats in a bright color are perfect for walking around all night long, while the matching woven bracelet adds some interest. Finally, add a simple drawstring bag for a sleek look.

Of course Key West isn’t all about beautiful sunsets, interesting bars and great shopping– it’s also a town full of rich history. Countless artists, musicians and authors have called Key West home over the years. One of the most well-known residents was author Ernest Hemingway, who lived there for most of the 1930s.
