Statement Pieces
Let’s say you’ve got some unexpectedly awesome event to attend — dinner with a world leader or an after-party at the Oscars — and you’re feeling woefully underdressed. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Sparkle & Dazzle
If you’re looking to plan a high-profile private party, charitable event, an off-the-charts anniversary dinner, or a kid’s birthday they’ll remember forever, look no further than Maggie Creative Design. The highly talented team, led by Maggie Schell, specializes in bringing an element of surprise to the most elegant of events. — Words by Sandy Lindsey | Photos courtesy of Maggie Creative Design
Totally Chic
Christie Grays has always been a good dresser. She was named “Best Dressed” in 6th Grade and throughout high school and was featured on the cover of Brickell Magazine’s coveted “Dressed For Success” Issue in 2012. Launching I Am CHIC (Christie Has It Covered) was a natural progression. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Practical Elegance
It’s understandable to assume the Swiss, the creators of Swatch and Rolex, have a monopoly on intricate yet utterly functional designs. The German firm of Glashütte, however, shatters that stereotype with a run of 25 dazzling timepieces. — Words by Bill Lindsey
Zesty Secret
Vitamin C is a beloved skincare ingredient that helps with the appearance of uneven skin tone and pigmentation while protecting your dermis from environmental elements and signs of aging. But there’s one downside — and, yay! — a potential solution. — Words by Zelda Grant
Jeep Thrills
Every Jeep made since WW2 has been off-road ready, reliable and eager to take on the wilderness. However, they have never been accused of being fast — until now. — Words by Bill Lindsey
Sweet Dreams
The secret to a good night’s sleep is one of life’s most enduring mysteries. Some ban phones and tablets in the bedroom, others avoid caffeine — but a 360-degree spin might just do the trick. — Words by Stacy Wynn
His Closet
What’s the well-dressed man wearing for Fall/Winter 2019/20? We look to Spanish men’s fashion brand and worldwide style leader for the past 60 years Mirto for the answer. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Soul Moving
A new band in town is creating quite the buzz. Guerra Grooves has been packing them in at venues throughout South Florida and leaving audiences craving more. — Words by Sandy Lindsey | Photos by Sean Pozin
Social Life
If you enjoy entertaining groups at home or going to busy, dog-friendly places, you may want to consider a furry social butterfly. Plus, there’s no better way to make new human friends than to have them stop to admire your delightful doggie. — Words by Morgan Lindsey | Photography by Paola Paladini Pet Photography
Fancy Feet
Reflexology is so much more than just a foot rub. It is a 6,000-year-old healing art based on stimulating reflex points on the feet, hands and ears that correspond to different parts of the body. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Intergalactic Recline
Ever since the first words rolled dramatically across movie theater screens, the world has been aware of that “galaxy far, far away” that is Star Wars. Now you can have that intergalactic chic in your home. — Words by Stacy Wynn
Savvy Shoppers
If the words “hotel lobby” make you think of somewhere you merely pay attention to when checking in and checking out, think again! Hotel lobbies, such as the InterContinental Miami, are the latest mini retail hotpots in town. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Legacy Hasselblad
For its 75th birthday in 2016, Hasselblad released the X1D, the world’s first compact mirrorless medium format camera. The X1D II 50C continues the evolution with improved usability, better performance and a cheaper pricetag. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
GOAL Time!
A watch should do more than simply keep time, but it must do that well. The very venerable Swiss firm of Tissot shows us how it is done with the latest version of their Quickster Football Watch. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
SS Badboy
Even to the saltiest of us, most yachts look pretty much alike; white hull, pointy in the front, flat in the back. A gaggle of them at the marina could induce snow blindness. The OTAM 85 GTS, however, would restore your vision. — Words by Bill Lindsey | Photos by Photos by Tom Van Oossanen
Modern Home
Interiors are changing quicker than ever and they’re not about to slow down. It can be overwhelming. Which is why South Florida heads to Farrey’s Lighting & Bath to find the best products available and the best design advice in the world. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Whopping Big
The Research & Development team at C Seed sets a new engineering record with their 301-inch outdoor TV made from carbon fiber and titanium. It’s super big and super stiff yet super light. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Culinary Star
Inspired by its idyllic bayside setting, Amara at Paraiso brings together bold Latin American flavors, coastal ingredients and South Florida’s diversity of food culture to create the quintessential Miami waterfront restaurant. It’s also a top venue for Miami weddings. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
Game Changer
Peggy Olin and her aptly named firm OneWorld Properties have led the remarkable sales for PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter traveling the globe to attract buyers from 56 countries.
Style Power
I was fortunate enough to go through my entire academic career attending schools that did not require students to wear a uniform. — Words by Jorge Arauz
Beautiful Life
Most stylists are known for excelling at a specific part of the job, either color, or cuts, or styling. Hisham prides himself on having perfected all aspects of the industry. — Words by Sandy Lindsey
