*MIAMI*

Miami was unbelievable! I had such an amazing time!!! We did so many things that the two days we spent there were jam packed with excitement! We took so many great pictures that it is so hard to choose which ones to blog...

Our hotel was covered in oil pantings just like this one. So colourful!

We stayed at a hotel in South Beach called the Clay Hotel. It is also used as a hostel. The location was excellent, just a walk from the beach and shopping, and was right above Espanola way which is full of little shops and restaurants. It is very busy throughout the day and at night.
Espanola street and our hotel during the day.

South Beach

I convinced Alicia to head straight to the beach, which Heidi and Angela went to check out Miami Ink tattoo parlour from the hit T.V. show.
I Love the Beach!
Entering the beach...
South Beach shopping!

Lincoln Street in South Beach

Lincoln street is the pedestrian only road which stretchea for many blocks. It is full of shops, restaurants, bars and outdoor patios. There are little boutiques as well as big names like Victoria Secret. Everyone is trying to get you to eat at their place and will offer free drinks, free appetizers, you name it! Alicia and I stopped for a drink and later met up with the girls after shopping for and Italian dinner. The food was so good and they brought us a free bottle of wine. I know... crazy hey?!



Club Mansion

So Heidi said that going to Club Mansion is one of her dreams. All the stars hang out there and it is extremely hard to get into. We asked all around town and everyone said it was one of the nicest, biggest, most expensive bars, and the line can take hours. It is featured weekly in US and People as the hotspot in Miami! I could not believe it when we walked up and the bouncer asked "How many". It happened so fast and before we knew it we were inside the nicest club I have ever seen!!! It was beautiful!! Check out their website!
The 40,000 sq ft Mansion Club is frequented by Puff Daddy, J'Lo, Black Eyed Peas, and Jay Z and is decorated with Crystal Chandelliers, sweeping staircases and Venetian mirrors!

Ocean Drive

Yesterday we went to Ocean Drive at Miami Beach. This street is amazing! It is lined with shops and restaurants. The restaurants are amazing and you can find any kind of food. They all have really nice outdoor patios and are very stylish! The streets are lined with Palm Trees, Bentleys and beautiful people and the beach is just across the street! Alicia and I ate lunch and took a million pictures! We also went to Wet Willy's which is a famous patio bar on the strip! Ludacris sings "If you're with me aint no time to sleep, especially at Wet Willys on Miami Beach!" It was so funny because I was really excited and thought about the song right away!!!




Miami Boat Cruise

We went on a boat cruise to the islands off the Coast! It was awesome! The boat took you past all the Stars homes and Millionaires isle. We saw Fisher Island where an apartment goes for over 2 million and there is no road access and a private golf course. Everyone who buys a property gets there own golf cart to drive around the island. It was alot of fun and the houses were beautiful!



Oprah owns a property here on Fisher Island.

Boat Tour Continued...

From top left clockwise here are the magnificent homes of Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, The location of Scarface filming, and the home of Shaquille O'Neil. He had a full basketball court and a mini statue of himself. Too funny!!

Puff Daddy's house~!

Most expensive and biggest property! Worth over 50 million dollars! Crazy!

I loved this oil painting which I found at Bayside arena! I bought a mini version! I love Miami!!!
