Mrs. Brickell's Neighborhood

In the shadows of the skyscrapers lies a quaint little slice of Miami's past known as Southside. Soon it will be wiped from the face of the earth.

The Motivational Edge Shining Light on Autism in South Florida

I've had the honor and pleasure of doing an event with Ian Welsch, CEO of The Motivational Edge. Their music program is unique and beneficial for children that suffer autism. However, their program isn't limited to just autism. The Motivational Edge also provides learning and educational enrichment through music for children that are less fortunate or that may be at a disadvantage or even for those that just need a different way to learn. It is an exceptional endeavor and a spotlight for autism… Continue

Buena Vista- Buena Comida

Who would have thought that love at first sight would transcend and manifest a unique French bistro in the heart of old-Midtown? A diamond in the rough some would call it, once first glance has skimmed through the bitter surroundings of its location. An easy spot to miss but all the better for those that have the fortune of its discovery. With very few choices for food in the area, owners Claude Postel and Clarie Bienvenu, have accomplished what they set out to…

Super Bowl Comes to Miami with Star Studded Events

There's nothing like bringing a major event to Miami. What a week of excitement and festivities for the welcoming of Super Bowl 44. Miami's hottest lounges, bars and clubs have been star-studded all week with NFL players, celebrities and artists. I'm sure they've had as much fun as I have been having this week.

With anticipation for Sunday's big game at it's peak, I decided to break away from my weekly routine of work, school and occasional community events and have a little fun with… Continue

Fab Spring Heels under $50

Spring is upon us... Hello bright colors, open toes, strappy heels and wedges!

I don't know about you but I'm well over the cold weather. Boots are cute but OMG! this is Miami; it's unnatural for our beautiful feet and legs to be covered.

So I got a head start on some Spring Shopping and found a couple of really "hard to pass up" deals under $50. Yellows, aqua, reds and natural tones... From BCBG and Naughty Monkey to Guess and Jessica Simpson. All I have to say is… Continue

Riverwalk Recap!

Thanks to everyone that went and helped make this year's Annual Riverwalk & Boat Parade a success!

The weather was awesome and we had a great turnout. There were lots of local vendors/businesses providing samples of their product/food. I was happy to see families, tourists and visitors of all sorts stop by and get a glimpse of our up and rising community. Downtown has always been known for its hustle and bustle but seldom for the people that live there. Over the past decade we… Continue

Fabulous Coats for Fall/Winter

Ok so I've been skimming through the internet looking for nice wool coats for the fall/winter. I know Miami doesn't get too much use out of them but I plan on doing some traveling over the next couple of months. So I thought I would share some lovely finds with the ladies on MUL.

I miss being in NY. They get a few months to play with all the "keeping warm" trends.The colors, the cuts, textures and prints... gosh I wish Miami had a longer and REAL winter. I mean I love wearing tights… Continue

What's going on? So sad...

Ok I know that there's a bunch of bad shit that happens in the world on a daily basis but WTF?!?!

The news this week has practically sent me into a state of utter depression. Shootings... stabbings... abduction... What's wrong with everyone? Why the need to hurt someone or kill someone? What happened to working things out? Talking things through? Or, just walking away?

Is this one too many questions?

It made me so sad to hear all these things and to know that… Continue
