Photos by Alexander Oliva It’s autumn in Miami and it’s time to dig through the depths of my closet and summon all the long-sleeved and full-length garments I’ve been neglecting for the last eight or nine months. Make fun all you want, but I’m really not built for the dry, frigid air the rest of […]
Dynamic and freshly, LIVE! activewear and workout clothes is the latest fantastic addition to Lincoln Road’s world-famous shop-til-you-drop scene. With thriving boutiques already peppered throughout their home country of Brazil, we Miami locals should count ourselves lucky that they chose our own backyard to open their very first store in the United States.

Front Porch Cafe Z Ocean Hotel The Z Ocean Hotel itself looks like a pretty cool honeymoon destination, but the brunch and breakfast menu at their restaurant is outstanding.
