Take one swanky beachfront resort, and add a handful of artisinal, hand-dyed bikinis. What do you get? A one-of-a-kind swimwear collection, of course. That’s right: One Hollywood beach resort is one-upping the recent trend in real estate-owned art by debuting its very own line of bikinis and beachwear “inspired” by…
According to the magazine Lifestyle Mirror, this year our Magic City was ranked the fifth most fashionable city in the United States. It’s plain to see that for the mamis of our perpetual summer hotspot, fashion is everything. But what about the men of the 305? Does runway resonate the…
Cut it, snip it, fade it, pomp it, gel it, shave it, beard-upgrade it. No, it’s not the making of a chart-topping jam by Daft Punk; it’s your frigging hair, man. And it’s kind of a big deal, or at least it should be. Nowadays it seems like guys pride…
According to the great and powerful Wikipedia, the definition of a sneakerhead is a person who collects, trades, or admires sneakers as a hobby. This sneaker-obsessed race dominates the Miami-Dade footwear scene. So it’s only fitting that the footwear fete Sole Swappin’ has landed, catering to sneakerheads near and far…
When you’re a dignified lady in an industry dominated by men, dressing oneself can be a challenge. You can opt for the skirt set and orthopedic shoes, the ones you purchased at Talbots that scream, “I’m all brains and no style. Please take me seriously!” Or you run the risk…
Being hungry sucks. But being a starving child in need sucks even harder. So, what if we told you that by feeding your face with some exquisitely prepared food by some of Miami’s top chefs for one entire night, you could help abolish our nation’s childhood hunger? Because that’s what…
For those of us who call the fashion industry home, there’s a great deal of things that get our panties in a bunch. Like, we really hate it when people refer to us as “fashionistas” — it’s the equivalent of “foodie” for the culinary world. Enough already. Or, when people…
For anyone whose ever wandered into the vintage “boutique” C. Madeleine’s, you’ll know that’s it’s no boutique at all — it’s practically a space station. Measuring 10,000 square feet, it sure as hell resembles one. Think of it as a massive time machine in North Miami, where pieces from past…
What moves faster: Food or fashion? The answer, apparently, is both, or so we learned Saturday at the grand reopening of the McDonald’s at Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue. Yes, the fast food chain staged a reopening event, and yes, there was a fashion show. No, really. Though members of…
“Secondhand.” The term might conjure up memories of hand-me-downs, like being forced into your elder sister’s Capri-Sun-stained Hello Kitty backpack for all of third grade. (No, we haven’t forgotten, mom.) Sadly, the phrase oftentimes translates to “old,” “used,” or even “thrifty.” But haven’t you heard? “Used” is the new “new.”…
This Saturday, be sure to order a Big Mac, large fries, and a side of couture at the grand opening of McDonald’s newest addition in South Beach (1650 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). Some of the most gifted students from the Art Institutes’ creative colony will put on a fashion show…
The French always know how to one-up us ‘Mericans when it comes to hot trends. They’ve coined iconic greats like Carla Bruni, deliciously colored macarons, and, of course, the great and powerful Lagerfeld. They manufacture some of the most effortlessly beautiful women in the world, ladies who quite literally “woke…
In 2013, you more than likely saw Heat spectators of all shapes and sizes putting on for their city by trotting around the American Airlines Arena in Peace Love World’s White Hot apparel. What can we say? We love our boys. The collabo-collection was sold exclusively at the Arena of…
Far from the reaches of the urban music chaos, there triumphed another festival last weekend, one new to the city: Pinned Miami. Buxom broads and soldier boys jived their way over to the three-day event to remember the good ‘ole days when Coke was just a nickel and curly-cord land-lines…
For fashion designers, there is no winning or losing — only moments in style. Sometimes, they’re bravo moments, followed by a standing ovation. But, sadly, sometimes they’re WTF moments that bomb the runways. And during last weekend’s Miami Fashion Week, the WTF moments were anything but pardoned from the international…
When Memorial Day weekend comes along, Miamians tend to get a bit squeamish. Should you stay in town to save money but risk becoming a part of your very own CSI: Miami horror story? Or drop a couple G’s and hop on the next flight out of town? It’s an…
And so it’s begun. The intensity of who can out-dress whom on the Miami Beach Convention Center runway during Miami Fashion Week has officially jumped off. To slingshot this event into full effect, the Collins Ave. hotel, Eden Roc, hosted a massive kick-off party on Wednesday, inviting only the trendiest…
Just when you thought Bal Harbour Shops couldn’t possibly throw more money into the equation, it’s up and done it again. As reigning champ of the blinged-out crowned title “Most Lucrative Shopping Mall in the World,” the Disneyland of high-end consumerism is preparing to add yet another heavy hitter to…
Madge said it best: Beauty’s where you find it. And starting this Wednesday, you can find it in South Beach, off of Convention Center Drive. That’s right — Miami Fashion Week is coming to town. From May 15-18, the Miami Beach Convention Center will serve as a pantheon of textile…
For Keni Valenti, a closet full of clothes is just not enough. A museum housing a 15,000-piece collection accumulated over the past 40 years, worth $4 million, would be better. The New York native, known as the “King of Vintage,” moved to South Florida two-and-a-half years ago, in hopes of…
Is it just us, or do Miami women spend more time shopping than anywhere else in the world? Ladies in the 305 do more than just embrace the “women be shopping” stereotype — they abuse the crap out of it. And why not? Whether it’s a slammin’ party that Diddy,…
Last Thursday, the parking situation at the Freehand never seemed so hopeless, and the only thing vacant was the unnecessary existence of motorcycle parking spots. After having a major Groundhog’s Day-moment of circling the same set of streets off of Indian Creek Drive for 40 minutes, finally a parking spot…
