Island Gardens

Island Gardens

Several years ago, I scouted a location for an early morning fashion shoot. I needed an incredibly scenic spot, a place with powerful city views as well as plenty of nature. In short, I needed a location that encapsulated the spirit of Miami. Where was this? It was on Watson Island – the site of what is supposed to be the future Island Gardens – home to luxury yachting, leisure, dining, retail, entertainment, residences, and a fine resort.

Spiaggia Condominium: A Jewel in Surfside

Although the area on the surface seems a bit stuck in the 1960s and 70s there are some great condominiums in the area and stellar restaurants that are considered hidden gems. It’s worth exploring.
Spiaggia Ocean Condominium on 94th Street and Collins Avenue, facing a quiet strip of private beach is one of the main reasons to consider this elegant building. The beach chairs and umbrellas are waiting and ready to be set up. …

The Plum Lifestyle

Hotels on Miami Beach

I simply don’t have an interest in most things on TV but there is one channel that I keep on for hours a day.  Whether I’m actively watching it or have it on for relaxing ambiance I always enjoy watching Plum TV. If you are a Miami Beach resident, then you have Plum TV (check your channel listings with your cable provider). Plum TV is an amazing and innovative concept. It features affluent programming mostly based on Miami Beach’s cultural offerings, local movers and shakers, upcoming arts, social, and fashion events, interviews with …
