When a shop specializing in workout and athleisure clothes (day to evening wear) calls itself a “boutique”, it deserves a look. Many of the big brands in the field like Lululemon and Athleta, not to speak of Nike and Adidas, tend to be eminently unexciting. True, here in Miami we have some Brazilian and Colombian shop imports adding fashion excitement with colorful prints and styles. But there hasn’t been a shop with a well curated selection of brands from all over the world – fun, fashionable, comfortable and durable. Enter the scene Flying Lizard. The proof of its winning formula? Owner Jessica Lurie opened her first shop a year and a half ago in North Miami, quickly followed by Coconut Grove and now Boca Raton. And she’ll give a 20% discount to you if you mention MiamiCurated sent you.

It’s saying a lot in Miami when I revisit a place I’ve liked two years later and it’s even better than I remembered. Such is Baoli, 1906 Collins Avenue.(T.305-674-8822) with the ambiance, vibe and people watching you'd expect from a restaurant/club whose provenance is Cannes. And it does one better -- friendly, attentive service and now, a new Asian inspired menu that had me craving more.
Davids Tea in Brickell City Centre is a tea store that even non tea drinkers will enjoy. A walk around and you’ll end up wanting to meet the incredibly creative mind behind the tea themed products you’d never imagine. And if you’re a tea lover, you’ll be loving it. Great inexpensive gifts too.
