Are the extremely hot days of summer behind us? It definitely felt that way this weekend. Although the sun stilled shined brightly, the temperature in Miami dropped a bit bringing with it a breezy windy weekend. It actually felt good being outside. Unfortunately my time outdoors was mostly spent walking to the grocery store. I spent the rest of it inside fighting off a cold. Poor me!

After work on Friday a co-worker and I headed to South Beach for a much needed happy hour. Three white sangrias & 6 appetizers later we were very happy. Once we were done stuffing ourselves we walked around Lincoln Road, the hot spot of South Beach, window shopping. Along the way we stopped in a few shops that peaked out interest. I wanted to buy a pair of pants at this Japanese boutique but didn't want to spend $400. The weather that evening was amazing. This is the Florida I love, not the "welcome to hell" days of summer.

We also checked at an exhibit, 101 Dresses: Adriana Carvalho, at ArtCenter/South Florida. I'm not an art critic so I'm not about to describe her work except to say that the dresses showcased were made out of various types of material from can tops to brillo pads. It was pretty amazing.

Besides the gallery space at ArtCenter/South Florida it also houses artist studio spaces where you can get a glimpse of the various artists work plus see things that they are working on. If you're lucky, the artist just might be in their studio and you can meet them. It's really great that places like this exist. More people need to exposed to art.

As I mentioned earlier in this post I'm fighting off a cold so my Saturday consisted of a Top Chef Masters marathon and nothing else. Today, I got up and went to the store to get ingredients to make Chicken Taco Soup which I believe is done now so I'm going to end this post. Just where will I end up next is any one's guess.

stay gold & be well
