CVS is a great place to get a few items you may need during your visit to Miami Beach. Not only do they have the usual drug store items, but this particular CVS also has Miami Beach souvenirs, towels, t-shirts, hats, flip-flops and your usual destination items.

They also have a large selection of snacks, water, drinks, sandwiches, etc.

Ferni was in search of a fabulous trendy shirt for the heat in Miami Beach and we found exactly what we were looking for.

The shop has so many wonderful shirts to choose from. From short sleeve to long sleeve, trendy t-shirts, dress shirts (like the one Ferni got), slacks, jeans and all sorts of accessories, it was like heaven for my babe.

What to buy: A Fabulous shirt for my babe. The shirt is a light linen with a cut out design which makes it a perfect shirt for the heat in Miami Beach.

Will be back with store information

What to pay: Ferni shirt was about $89 on sale, but there were plenty of other shirts ranging from $59-$129. Jeans were about $89 and up and the dress slacks started at $129 and up.

The accesories ranged from trendy bracelets, chains and rings which all started at about $15 and up.

Bal Harbour Shops has beautiful outdoor gardens, fountains, and art, surrounded by very high-end shopping, cafes, and restaurants. There are world-class designer boutiques including Hermes, Cartier, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Armani, Gucci, Versace, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, and more. Don’t look for anything as common as a kids play land or a food court. This place is way too chic for that. I, personally, like this place very much, because of the beauty of this place.

If you want to spend money, well, than you are at the right place. Have fun!

The Bal Harbour Shops are a European - Mediterranean style outdoor mall; ranked the #1 Shopping Mall in the U.S. by Women's Wear Daily Magazine. This is the place to go for designer clothing and elegant fashion accessories.
It's also a place to see and be seen - you never know who you will spot; whether somebody rich or poor, you can see in the clothes they wear and the cars they drives.
It has beautiful outdoor gardens, fountains, and an art gallery, surrounded by cafes, and restaurants.
There are world-class legendary boutiques such as Hermes, Versace, GAP, Lacoste, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, etc. and two department stores, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue.

What to buy: Rich people shop is not where I do my shopping, but I like having a look around here when we visit It does not cost anything to stroll the open-air garden with waterfalls and fountains and enjoy the beautiful grounds, fish ponds, and do lots of people watching, you can never be quite sure, whom you will run into here.

Open: Monday - Friday 10am. - 9pm, Saturday 10am - 7pm, Sunday Noon - 6pm

This semi-outdoor mall has many chain stores like Banana Republic, Gap, Victoria Secrets and the Disney store, many tourist t-shirt and souvenir shops, and lots of local boutiques. Bayside is in a very nice setting on the waterfront.

There are many restaurants where you can eat and where you can enjoy a beautiful waterfront view of Biscayne Bay. From Italian to Cuban, seafood to steaks, it’s hard to choose.

You can have a fruity tropical drink from a stand in the centre of the water-facing side of the market. Relax and enjoying, do some shopping. It’s a great way to spend your afternoon. A whole day is something to much for me. I’ve seen it all in about 2 hours.

For shopping, or just a lunchtime stop, I highly recommend you try the Bayside Marketplace. Many local sightseeing cruises leave from ports nearby.

Just look for the 60 foot guitar above the Hard Rock Cafe, and you know you have arrived.

"Tan while you walk and shop!" I saw this line in a pamphlet for Lincoln Road Mall and it struck me as amusing, I really don't know why! It was a true statement, I just found it funny ! Lincoln Road Mall is an attractive pedestrian mall which is a mix of stores,cafes,fountains,galleries and restaurants. Many of the stores are the same as you will see in every other shopping mall in the US ( for example Victoria's Secret, The Gap etc) , but there are some independent shops as well. I wouldn't call this a "must see" , but it is worth a stroll through.

Collins Avenue. If you are looking for a concentration of designer stores such as Armani,Ralph Lauren,Versace and Benetton go the the southern part of Collins Street

Sprinkled along Washington Avenue are some cool boutiques with funky clothes. I loved the dresses there. It was just window shopping for me. I really wanted to buy one, but being from a small city, probably the only place I would have the chance to wear one of these dresses would be while I was there in South Beach.

What to buy: Clothing and swimwear. You will go to the beach frequently while you are here. If you want to buy some new beach
wear, you will not have to look far. There are shops everywhere with a range of selections. From a functional $20 bikini to interesting nonfunctional creations worn only to be seen in. I must admit, the bikini with the silk flower top was awfully darn cute, but with the hit of one wave, it would be gone!

What to pay: What the tag states

Shopping in Miami usually happens in malls, such as Aventura or Dadeland. It is not like in other places like NYC or Europe where you are able to walk in the streets and wander different boutiques. The only good exception is Collins Avenue on South Beach where you can walk around and shop designer's boutiques as well as all the franchises. If you have time, you can also take the side streets off Collins and wander around Washington but the shops are more sparse.

Coconut Grove also has that but in a much smaller scale.

What to buy: Men's and women's clothing
