…or not quite summer, because this photo set from the LIFE Archive is titled “Miami & Miami Beach Winter Boom”, but winter in Florida is probably warmer than the average Swedish summer. Pay special attention to all the wonderful shoes in these photos!
These are just a selection of my favourites, there are many more photos at the archive if you search for “miami beach”.

I like the bending waiter who looks straight into the camera.

The most thankful thanks to you for posting these!
I LOVE the photos so much! In fact, I loved every single post you have made about the 1940s. LIFE archives and all your own interpretations of 30s -40s fashion and styling! The best!

Oh, I’ve been there, and the buildings still look the same. :) I had to laugh at the lady wearing fur though!
