Last weekend was a long weekend because of the President's Day.

The weather was not so warm in Miami so everyone, 

including myself, went for shopping.

I headed for Bal Harbour Shops and didn't come back empty handed...

 Somehow I knew that I would find something at DVF.

 DVF signature heartlock detail.

 Golden patent leather Kyra flip flops.

Nice & soft.

 Black Kamaris embellished pants with sequins stripe on sides.

Loose fitting makes them comfy and 

the sequins give a special effect.

My iPhone got a new outfit too.

"In Islands In The Sea Blue Dust" 

Not a bad day at all!

Tangerine Tango

 This leafy place is not a park

but an outdoor shopping mall in Bal Harbour.

 Bal Harbour is the best place to shop in Miami.

All the big labels are there,

the atmosphere is nice and tranquil,

somehow very sophisticated.

 There are also Saks and Neiman Marcus in Bal Harbour.

 Britto in Bal Harbour.

 Nice veggie stall - Oh, it's Dolce & Gabbana!

 Easter bunnies at Lanvin's.

 Been mentioning so many times now about 

my new tangerine colour Diane von Furstenberg dress

that bought at Bal Harbour,

here're pics of it.

It's so soft and comfy on!

Happy New Year 2012!

 Year 2012 has started!

- made a new year resolution:

NO SHOPPING

meaning no unnecessary shopping

Made some shopping -not much- in Finland 

after Xmas before New Year:

 Colourful silk dress by Marimekko

with 20% off

- the name of the dress is "Kupari" (Copper)

 Here's another great find at Marimekko

- cotton summer dress in 

an interesting colour combination

- also 20% off

 Would be fabulous for example in Miami...

 Probably forgot to show this silk dress

by Diane von Furstenberg

- bought it at Melrose boutique in LA in November 

- really vibrant colours!

 Had it on yesterday at New Year's Day brunch

at Marriott.

 By the way, these are the Prada boots

that bought in Vienna with my Mum in December

- saw them already in London in September

but somehow could be without buying them...

Now it's the second day of 2012

and haven't shopped a single thing.

- good start!

Melrose Avenue

Diane von Furstenberg boutique on 8407 Melrose Avenue

Bought a colourful pattern silk long sleeve dress

- got a sample of the new DVF fragrance - lovely!

(bought it later at Sephora and got 10% off

as being VIB = very important beauty buyer!)

Marc by Marc Jacobs on 8400 Melrose Avenue

Bought a snake skin pattern silk skirt

Melrose Avenue around Fairfax Avenue 

is lined with small independent shops,

mostly dedicated to fashion

- like this part a lot!
