A lifestyle boutique that delivers an urban, international, quality selection on everything from…read moremusic, to clothes and books. Arguably THE lifestyle boutique in Miami BASE, is a perfectly curated masterpiece. The minute you step in you know a lot of thought and love went into this shop. The clean, unique fragrance is Sand, an exclusive designed by BASE's owner Stephen Giles. This store is clearly Gile's vision of a life well lived. From designer clothes to a CD bar BASE has something you're bound to fall in love with. And you'll note that BASE supports the arts from having their own label and a band The Life Project, to holding exhibits during Art Basel. The idea of bringing art into everyday life is obvious especially in the selection of graphic tees and kitschy, colorful toys. They also have a great selection of books some focusing on local art and architecture. If you're on the beach head over to this spot, if nothing else for inspiration on anything from music to decorating. BASE is one of the jewels in South Beach's crown.

So hip it hurts. Base is the summary of what chic-South…read moreBeach is if it got smacked wit the urban/electronic hipster bat. Think Vice Magazine, Ministry of Sound, be@rbrick toys. Whether you're disgusted by that or attracted to it, Base is a lifestyle store. It's got everything geared to a certain individual. This is a store where the people behind the counter are "cool", the stuff they have here is "cool" and the everyone's "in the know." Notice the overuse of my quotation marks. I like going here for the urban toy figures that I like to adorn my cubicle with--my bf likes going here for the overseas imports of electronic cds...this Lincoln Rd boutique also has a small corner room dedicated to haircuts.

Then when I looked at some tee shirts, before I even started to look for a size he asked, what size are you looking for so I can pull it out, as to not mess up the folding?? I'm a grown adult and would not just yank out clothes and not pull them out and leave them. I don't know if this is every day attitude but If you're manager, the company needs to reevaluate your skills or demote you.

I purchased 5 t-shirts from Beach Life on June 20th.  The shirts were on a sales rack with a $7.99…read moresign for each.  Since I was heading to a concert at the Bandshell, the lady at the register, Laura, offered to hold the shirts for me to pick up the next day, which I did.  The shirts were purchased for a Bachelorette Party taking place on Sunday, June 22nd, with three of the guests flying in from out of town.  When I took the shirts out of the bag to hand to each friend, we saw that the black ink on most of the letters on the shirt was fading or peeling off.  Unfortunately, I was unable to hand out the Miami souvenir shirts to these ladies and so I put them back in the bag to return ASAP.   I was not able to return to Beach Life to return the shirts until June 28th.  Laura was at the register again and remembered me clearly.  I explained the situation to her and showed her the faulty t-shirts, their price tags still intact, expecting her to accept the shirts in return and allow me to exchange them for other merchandise.  Laura said that I should have inspected the shirts before buying them, and that store policy does not allow for any returns or exchanges. Meanwhile, the receipt clearly says "No Refunds, EXCHANGE ONLY."  She offered to cover the "I Miami" image with other images of the same size to simply cover it altogether, but the images she was offering were unappealing, especially when they were meant to be for four feminine ladies who were visiting Miami for a special occasion.    It's a shame that there exist dishonest and crooked people selling faulty merchandise to tourists, knowing that those tourists are leaving town in a few days and will never come back to demand a return or exchange.  It's a shame that a store owner has no ethics or morals and that they will display faulty merchandise on a sales rack, enticing customers to buy it without any warning whatsoever.  The owner of Beach Life should put a sign on sales rack warning customers that the merch they are buying is on sale BECAUSE the merch is damaged.  SHAME ON BEACH LIFE OWNER & STAFF FOR RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.  Shame on you for taking advantage of innocent tourists who come to our city of Miami Beach and spend their hard-earned money on our city, only to be ripped off by store owners such as Beach Life's.   Unless you want to waste money on damaged merchandise and be ripped off, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT BEACH LIFE, located at 240 71stStreet, Miami Beach.

Babalu Miami's Garage Sale (I mean it literally, as they are located in the fanciest (and the…read morepriciest $$$$) parking garage of all times) had its first summer sale in late June, you could get first pick of an eclectic mix of must-have items from the likes of Missoni and Kenneth Jay Lane at 20 to 70 percent off.

I LOVE this boutique…read more This effortlessly sophisticated shop is what my dream summer wardrobe looks like. It's full of beautiful hand beaded caftans and dresses. And has great sandals all flat, from gladiators to t-straps and perfectly low key but some have just enough sparkle to dress up a night time look. The store is owned by a local transplant from Italy Sabrina Crippa. She also designs the TAJ by Sabrina line which is sold along with some of the most popular and feminine boutique labels around. The staff here is charming and helpful and they fit in perfectly with the store's casually elegant vibe. This store is great for finding that perfect dress or cover-up to wear to all those posh parties from pool decks on rooftops to penthouses with ocean views. And actually the house brand TAJ by Sabrina is sold at all jet set hot spots around the world from St. Tropez to St. Barths but Miami is home to this hotness. ;)
