Where Miami Shop!
Miami is one of the best places in the world to do the one shopping thing that every woman, no matter how gorgeous, truly dreads: Look for a bathing suit. But the shopping doesn't stop there. This übertrendoid capital of the Southland goes much farther. Beyond the packed Banana Republics and other chain stores, there are fabulous gift boîtes stuffed with one-of-a-kind jewelry, contemporary watches and desk accessories, and much more, all with an easygoing flavor that you can find only here. Where Miami Shop shows off what’s best and most distinctive in every neighborhood and it’s the essential tool for the Miami-bound shopping maven.
