I have written posts about cultural places to visit in Miami like the Center for the Performing Arts or The Museum of Contemporary Art. From one of those posts Peter Andres gave me a great idea to write about places to shop in Miami.

You are welcome. Yes I know...Shopping=The Lovely Wife.
You must understand that being a Lovely Wife requires shopping. How can I be lovely without lovely things that help keep me lovely? LOL.
It is amazing how I just happen to turn up at your Malls...I could smell the sale...Great Malls by the way...They have everything...My feet are sore from shopping in your Malls...I may look lovely right now, but I am exhausted and these bags are getting very heavy...
Oooo....Gucci...Gotta go...I wouldn't want to miss the sale. LOL SEE :>
TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Oooo...Gucci...ROAR!
Ines,
I afraid to show this blog to my wife.
We are planning a cruise from Miami in a few months and I'm afraid she will want to add a few more days check out ALL of these malls.
"Peter aka Louie"...You have to show it to your wife...Gucci is on sale...That could save you money...TLW...ROAR!
Bal Harbour Shops are beautiful... we went there when registering for our wedding...
Aventura Mall is great... huge with everything...
That is a nice list for those looking for shopping in Miami. Just to add, I would say for locals the best malls are Dolphin Mall for the discount shopping on Brand Names, and Aventura Mall for a bit of a more sophisticated shopping experience. The others listed are mostly smaller malls, but still good if your home in Miami is located nearby it!
Lincoln Road and Cocowalk I would say is great for tourists, for obvious reasons. Coconut Grove shopping and South Beach shopping will always be more geared towards the tourist. You will find cute surf shops and plenty of spots to pick up souvenirs for friends and family. There are also many specialty boutiques, which are great when you are looking for that one-of-a-kind item.
Hi Katyanne - I deleted all your links from your comment, without them your comment is spam free - thank you! My favorite is Aventura, but it's gret to go to a different one every once in a while
HI,
My votes for best places to go shopping based on environment are:
1. Bayside
2. Cocowalk
3. Lincoln Road
Environment maybe, but the stores in those are not up to "great-shopping" standards par - Aventura Mall kills them all right now with regards to great shops - that's MHO though
Do you have a name btw?
