What’s better than staying, dining, lounging and sunbathing at a four-star resort? Shopping in a four-star store inside that four-star resort, of course! When my poor, crispy skin just couldn’t take another minute of a UV beat-down at the beach(I swear on my shoe collection the sun is worse at the beach than 100 ft. away at the pool), I hit the next best thing, shopping! Ida and Harry carries high-end designer threads and soles; and those high-end outfits are needed in the 305 if you wanna be taken seriously in the restaurants and clubs, ya heard? J. Crew and Banana aren’t gonna cut it here. I scored a gorgeous purse and D&G sandals at I&H and instantly felt the pain of my sunburn dissipate. Momentarily at least. But keep in mind that most of the designs and fashions in I&H are for hot Miami nights, and not so much for the streets of Chicago, NY and the likes. Any good fashionista knows the trends differ greatly from city to city, and I assure you that men’s blinged-out white tee is not going to be perceived with applause in the Chi. But that’s okay! Sport it with pride on Ocean Avenue, boys. Same goes for those six inch Dior stilletos, color: GLITTER. The dudes at LIV will appreciate, the ones at Rockit in Chicago will not.
