#POTW Pink Flamingos on Fisher Island
Last weekend, my sister Kristy and I spent a day on Fisher Island hosted by Luxury Living Realty. It was my first time at this private enclave of Mediterranean-style homes and condos, situated on an island just south of South Beach, accessible only by ferry for residents and their guests. And let me tell you, it was everything it’s cracked up to be. You immediately feel like you’ve been transported from the hustle and bustle of the “mainland”–even if […]
Miami’s art world is starting to buzz as Art Basel draws closer to the horizon, and Wynwood’s Second Saturday Art Walk always brings a slew of fresh new shows. Saturday night, Philadelphia-based artist and craftsman James McNabb’s solo show “Metros” opened at the Robert Fontaine Gallery. While I had every intention of making an appearance at this month’s Art Walk for the show, it just wasn’t in the cards. Instead, I swung by Robert’s gallery mid-week to have a […]
Thursday morning, I donned the most fashionable thing I could throw together in my closet (BCBG silver pumps, TIBI black and white striped jersey pencil skirt, white BCBG blouse, beaded necklace from Calypso New York and my new red Lanvin handbag–sorry, forgot to take pix #notafahionblogger) and headed to Cecconi’s at Soho Beach House for their new monthly Fashion For Breakfast series, featuring panel discussions with fashion entrepreneurs. This month, fashion blogger Ginger Harris moderated a discussion with Sari […]
As Exhale Miami’s Brand Ambassador, I’m psyched to share this amazing offer on Power Facials throughout the month of October. I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it again, the Power Facial has absolutely saved my skin on more than one occasion. From unbalanced, oily, acne-prone skin to fine lines and discoloration, this customizable facial is a worthy investment to clean up your skin as the season’s are changing. At $75 off this month, the Power Facial will cost […]

#POTW Lunch at Wynwood’s Zak the Baker
This week, I decided to diverge from my usual lunch routine of GoGo and Icebox on the beach, and make the trip across the bridge to Wynwood to meet fellow writer Carla Torres at Zak the Baker’s fresh new digs. While he’s long baked up loaves in Hialeah and supplied many local restaurants with his creations, this is his first cafe and bakery, which opened this summer. The menu consists of toast topped with fresh ingredients–like the avocado spread that […]
Nothing like starting a new weekly column dependent on photography, then buying a new camera and computer and taking off on a whirlwind month of travel, often with limited WiFi. Needless to say, I’ve fallen behind on my Pic of the Week postings, but I still have some cool pictures and travel stories to share with you all, so without further adieu, here’s five weeks (five weeks!) of my favorite pictures. Week of September 22 – Visit Florida Shoot at […]
This week, I had the opportunity to join the City of Miami Beach as they released a nest of little baby loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings at Haulover Beach. To say it was the cutest thing ever is about as accurate of a description as I can muster. The little fellas were about three inches long and wriggled around in the sand, their natural instincts leading them to the water where they swam away to start their lives at sea. […]

Introducing #POTW aka Pic of the Week
In an effort to keep my Wanderlust Chameleon readers in the loop with my wanderings, I thought I’d introduce a new column, “Pic of the Week.” As a travel/lifestyle writer and editor, I’m constantly on the move, scoping out trends and news, and gathering material for upcoming stories for various publications. With “Pic of the Week,” I thought I could distill the highlight of my week into a single pic and “pick” (get the double entendre, there?). Think of […]

Top Miami Spa Picks For Spa Month & Beyond
Spa treatments are kind of like designer jeans. There was a time when spending $100 seemed like an obscene amount of money, but today we’ve somehow been conditioned to think it’s acceptable to drop $180, $220, dare we say $260 and up for either of these luxuries. Of course, that’s where a good sale comes in handy, and for Miami spa-goers the biggest sale of the year is happening right now through the end of August. The Greater Miami Convention […]
