Instagram Roundup!

I've been in Miami since Sunday with my hubby getting a little R&R. We've basically been eating and shopping our way through South Beach lol! Here are some Instagram pics from the last few days...

My first stop when I get to Miami is ALWAYS Prime 112 or Prime Italian! The bread at Prime Italian is CRACK!

After lunch I dropped off hubby and headed to The Webster Miami! I've been to their online shopping site a bunch but nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for the stellar RTW selection at the actual store! Wow! This store puts some of my favorite New York Stores to shame. They already had in the Tom Ford belt I'm in love with and a ton of new season Christopher Kane stuff in ahead of go-to retailers like Net-a-porter and Opening Ceremony. And their Chanel selection is UNREAL. They have stuff that the actual Chanel boutiques don't have in yet! I found this amazing Repossi Berbere ring while I was there!

The next day we had drinks and lunch poolside at The Perry Hotel (formerly The Gansevoort) with our good friend Author...

...And made our way back to Prime 112 that night where we stuffed ourselves and had the nerve to finish our decadent dinner off with Fried Oreos! Shameful!! (But delicious!)

Before I headed down to Miami, I deejayed at Avenue in NYC on Friday where I finished the night off with a little Eagles and a little Lenny Kravitz!

What have you guys been up to the last few days??

Obsession of the Day: Vince Double V Silk Top

Everyone knows that one of the keys to a versatile wardrobe is hard-working separates. Vince knocks it out of the park with this washed silk blouse. It can be worn with with a great pair of jeans for daytime downtown cool or tucked into your favorite skirt at night for a completely different and more luxurious feel.

I own this top in white and it's a wardrobe staple that I reach for time and time again. The cut is phenomenal! Grab it at net-a-porter or in black at Saks Fifth Ave!

New Goodies!

Hey Hey hey! Just wanted to share a few new goodies I've picked up over the past month!

1. I obsessed over the amazing S/S 2011 pink and orange striped Prada dress that was on every red carpet and magazine cover last year last! Well.....I found the skirt version on ebay and my hubby grabbed it for me! SCORE!

2. The Hermes Constance has long been one of my favorite Hermes bags. I found an amazing deal on this vintage one from Decades, one of the premier vintage luxury stores in the country. It was my first time buying vintage so I was a bit apprehensive but everything turned out great, the bag is gorgeous! Check out their other great pieces at ShopDecades.com or on their blog.

3. Grabbed this Gold Celine cuff at Barney's recently...What can I say, I'm a sucker for a cuff! Now I just need an identical one so I can wear them doubled up!

4. Remember that Resort 2012 Balenciaga top I was stalking earlier this year??? Well I tried it on a few months ago and it just didn't look right on me. Although I loved the print the cut of the top was just too bouffant for my body type! Welp. I found the dress in the same print at Balenciaga a few weeks ago and it was on SALE! SCORE again!

What do you guys think about my new finds??
