Below is what I wore to the Neiman's event last week. I'm dying to get this boot off.
 |
| Creative DIY centerpieces. Is that the pink gravel you use for a fish tank/ terrarium? |
 |
| This turquoise clover leaf necklace is a new favorite of mine! Bought it on Etsy. |
 |
| I've had this clutch for years. It was an amazing gift from an amazing friend. PS: did you notice how I concealed my fingers from this shot: chipped polish city! |
 |
| Meli's mani! |
 |
| Lovely Mel of Melificent Wearing this jacket. |
What I'm Wearing:
Leopard Dress: Old Navy, (Navy version seen HERE) $32. A long sleeve alternative here.
Jean jacket: GAP $69 (An almost identical white jean jacket can be found here for $58, in case the one from GAP sells out (since that happens frequently).
Necklace: Kie&Kate Couture, first seen on Lydie of Chic on the Cheap (Genius blog name, by the way). Totally fell in love with her genuine and sincere writing style, and her necklace.
Same necklace available from BaubleBar - buy it here for $34.
Turquoise Four Leaf Clover Necklace: new Etsy shop obsession. JenniJewel $33.
Mint Green leather flip flops: GAP $24 (Come in 10 colors. Ten!)
Python Print Clutch: ABAS (no longer available). Try this super chic envelope clutch instead. This one is similar too, and lastly - this one is pink!
The revamped Shelborne on South Beach is now to the polished Vesper, a clandestine supper club serving upscale American standards. Tucked away in the back of the hotel by the pool, the restaurant is entered via the kitchen, giving it a mafia-movie vibe (although the name is a reference from an Ian Fleming James Bond novels). The petite dining room done up in wood paneling, leather banquettes and black and white photos feels like the interior of a yacht or an underground gentlemen’s club. A large patio offers al fresco seating with white couches and candlelight, as well as ocean breezes and pool views.
Newsflash: there's actually good Italian food on Ocean Drive. Crazy, I know. But consider Nine, an alfresco Italian enclave now open at the Hotel Breakwater your new excuse to sit outside on Ocean Drive.
Inside the restored hotel there’s a tasteful dining room with polished terrazzo floors and cushy purple couches but we’d like to draw your attention to the spacious outdoor terrace. And the menu of rustic, greatest-hits-of Italy cuisine. 
This is where you'll go on lazy evenings when you feel like sitting outside and sharing a bottle of Chianti with good company while supping on bowls of tagliatelle pasta with lobster and chili sauce.

Miami gets another celeb-chef restaurant with the first Florida outpost of J + G Grill, a bistro from French toque Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Housed in the opulent new St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort the cathedral-like dining room overlooks the ocean and the resort’s pools through double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. The room exudes a soothing Zen mix of grey herringbone wall panels, slate-colored banquettes, plush carpeting and oversized silver pendant lights. An outdoor patio with lush landscaping and mod furniture works well in the evenings.
Jean Paul’s House, a date-friendly restaurant from former La Cofradia chef Jean Paul Desmaison, occupies a quaint cottage in Wynwood. The space is decked out in artfully-scuffed chairs, circular mirrors and a communal picnic table. An L-shaped bar provides ample room for solo diners or those popping in for happy hour cocktails. There are plans for a gourmet market in the back as well as takeout pizza counter and a small wine-tasting bar.
Start things off with the homemade potato chips and black mint sauce or the garbanzos sautéed with spinach and chorizo. Starters include three types of cured fish – a flounder tiradito topped with avocado, a salmon sashimi and a traditional ceviche. The eggplant carpaccio brings thinly sliced grilled eggplant topped with shaved reggiano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil while the beet salad is a colorful combo of yellow beets, avocado and blood orange. Mains include braised short ribs over polenta, a bouillabaisse with lobster stock and red snapper cooked with white wine and grilled lemon.
WOW Do I know the waters in front of this Property!!! When I was a kid, before this home was even built, I learned to snorkel right where this home sits. The waters were plentiful with spiky Purple Sea Urchins, Delectable Spiny Lobster and the most beautifully regal Queen Conch!! Thus my love affair with Conch began at this very stretch of water. And now it is today's Deal.
