Gelato in Miami

Wednesday


I finally got my gelato, strawberry for meee! What's your favorite??? Btw, this small strip in SoBe called EspaƱola Way had some really interesting little galleries but unfortunately, were already closed by the time I got there :-( ... Shot with the hipstamatic app on iPhone! I seriously need to get one already.

Sunset Glow at The Mondrian South Beach

Tuesday


At the Sunday pool party at the Mondrian, overlooking the Miami bay. The hotel is beautifully designed by Marcel Wanders, highlighting my favorite color since childhood - red. The fabric textiles, patterns, colors and flowy waving drapes really came alive once the sun began to go down. If you guys are ever in Miami, definitely stop by their Sunday afternoon fiesta, which was refreshingly more like a siesta by the time sunset rolled around.

(And I must give a shout out to the iPhone my pal Jenn took these pics with! Can you believe you can get these images with a little camera phone theses days? Go Mac.)

The Viceroy Miami : A Big Fat Disappointment

Monday


Don't let my smile fool you, lol. I just got back from a few days at the Viceroy and I was so disappointed! As far as design goes, the hotel is gorgeous, designed by none other than uber-talented Kelly Wearstler. Every detail was beautiful but unfortunately that's where it ended. First thing wrong with this place was the crowd – and to top it off annoying loud kids and families. Then there was the absurd $600 'incidental' fee which was automatically deducted – seriously, not even at the Four Seasons. The room service came in an hour and a half late, was cold and tasted awful – sent it back. Tried room service again but this time nothing on the menu was available. What? And last but not least, I arrive home to find that my card has been charged another $629 for the room when it was already pre-paid. I tried to take my cares away at the beautiful pool but oops!.. annoying jumping children everywheeere. So, if you ever thought to stay here because it appears young & chic? Don't. Stay at the Gansevoort or Soho House instead.

So what do you guys think?.. Should I send a letter of complaint to corporate and see what comes of it or should I just let it go and be satisfied that it was a beautifully designed hotel and not much else?

Going Retro on Nikki Beach

Tuesday


I searched high and low for the perfect retro style, red one-piece until I finally found it by JETS Jessika Allen, an Australian designer that makes gorgeous 'premium luxury swimwear'. My sun hat kept getting blown by the wind into the shape of Captain Morgan's pirate hat, haha, so I decided to ditch it... Just a cool little day at the beach, making faces at Jenn, and taking pics of our feet :-P
