Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim (MBFWS) is upon us later this week. Translation: You’ll be seeing a lot of beautiful models bearing skin on South Beach (and the people who love them). Most locals won’t be able to get anywhere near the runways — sorry, guys! — but we’ll have non-stop…

Miami’s local fashion scene has evolved far beyond burgeoning. New boutiques, fashion galleries, and chain retailers are popping up daily (we’re looking at you, H&M), designers are setting up shop, and the masses are loving every minute of it. Can you blame us? Cue: Touch Boutique, the latest in a…

Miami H&M fans, get ready. If you’re headed to the opening of the chain’s Lincoln Road pop-up shop today, you’d better be prepared to fight the crowd. No one, not even members of the press at yesterday’s VIP preview, were allowed to buy items before noon today. So we’re expecting…

One of Miami’s trendiest boutiques, the Webster, is creating a capsule collection for an unexpected national chain: Target. “Target had been canvassing the globe to uncover distinctive shops — stores with a story — that offer something surprising and unexpected for our guests,” says Target spokesperson Jessica Carlson. “We look for shops…

We love the DIY culture. There’s something about buying an old, beat up piece of furniture with a beautiful skeleton, taking the whole thing apart and building the frame up from scratch. It’s like completely rebuilding your sad, crappy life.Though we love the thought of it, the time and effort…
