It is a one-stop-shop boutique that offers up an eclectic mix of clothing, home decor items, handcrafted gifts, exotic jewelry, gourmet candy, signature artisanal teas and other goodies from a mix of independent and local designers that goes unparalleled in Miami.
Fevi Reyes www.fevireyes.com
Fevi Reyes was born and raised in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, where her extended family influenced her early interest in the arts of embroidery, sewing, and jewelry making. Drawing upon the timeless beauty of ancient jewelry for inspiration she has developed a stylish line which is a blend of the ancient art and contemporary fashion. She called the line Fevi Reyes and it is designed and crafted with the utmost attention to detail. The entire collection is handmade and with the intent that you can collect and cherish them for a generation to come
Habit Boutique
Like the name implies, Habit Boutique is a store meant to satisfy every woman’s fashion curiosity. Located just off Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Habit offers a break from the bridal shop melee and over-priced clothes. Bringing new brands to South Florida, this boutique offers chic clothing at affordable prices. By scheduling a minimum of 3 shipments of week of new clothes and accessories, Habit keeps its inventory original, transforming the boutique into a new store each time a client walks in. Not only does Habit boast a continuous rotation of new styles, but also frequently introduces new designers into the mix, including Bianca Coletti and Nina Rodriguez. The best part, shopping here won’t break the bank, either. So go ahead, shop to your heart’s content and kick another bad habit.
KRELwear www.krelwear.com
An innovative knitwear line, KRELwear is renowned for its one-of-a-kind, hand-knit “deconstructed” dresses and separates made with tubular knitting techniques- all executed in a wide array of yarn and texture combinations. In the spirit of innovation, each season, KRELwear reinvents itself, developing its line by combining minimal cuts with unique textiles, creative construction, and a mixture of fibers, including recycled, repurposed and organic yarns wherever possible.

Lauderdale store or on the web at LilacAndLilies.com.
Maria Lepe www.marialepe.com
Lepe is the perfect complement for the glamorous chic and sophisticated woman with a fresh look. Details is a big statement for Lepe line, each piece can be dressed up or dressed down for that special look you are seeking.
Party Rock www.partyrocklife.com
On a mission to capture their party into a way of life, and get everyone else on the LMFAO wagon, they started making original dance songs in their studio apartment to play in the clubs. In true DIY (Do-It-Yourself) fashion, Red and Sky released their “I’m In Miami Bitch” song on Myspace and branded their signature look — wearing loud colors, rockin’ glasses with no lenses and always stayin’ fly with one of their own self-designed shirts. To add to the list of entrepreneurial projects, they keep it real with their approach by running their own label and clothing line, Party Rock by LMFAO. “It’s always better to have a party in your life,” explains Foo. “Fun and laughter, the girls, dancing, celebrating… We want to feel the same way walking down the sidewalk as we do on stage.” Which explains an awful lot about their street attire. The guys, who are devout PETA members, favor pimp jackets, oversized glasses (minus the actual glass), faux fur embellishments and the occasional leopard spandex skin tight pants (girls sizes only). If it’s not vintage, then it’s their own Party Rock brand, which Foo and Sky wear exclusively. And their stylish strut seems to be working. “We get way more women now,” says Sky.
Septimo Boutique www.septimofashion.com
Silvia Fassardi’s Septimo label may stand for lucky number seven, but the recipient of this year’s GenArt Fresh Faces award is creating her own luck, becoming one of Miami’s most sought-after designers and, now, owner of a new South Miami boutique. Located on Bird Road, in the center of a thriving shopping district, Septimo is selling much more than the brand’s seven signature jewelry lines. That doesn’t mean fans will be disappointed. Expect to find most of Fassardi’s collection in its entirety in addition to a handpicked lineup of up-and-coming designers. The space is inviting, featuring burnt orange and chocolate brown accents surrounding organic décor.

Robin Rile Fine Art Opens Its Virtual Doors

The international fine arts concierge firm launches its new website

ROBIN RILE FINE ART has launched a new online gallery which specializes in the marketing of figurative and surrealist masters, Spanish Master Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Tristan Schane (New York), Erik Jones (New York), Travis Franklin (Sarasota), Boban (Serbia), Javier Suarez, Jr. (Sarasota) and the undiscovered Peruvian Master Estremadoyro (Lima). http://www.RobinRile.com

President Reed V. Horth spent 12 years developing innovations on the typical gallery model as clients would continually ask for specific artist, artwork and pieces. He became a “Fine Art P.I.” and focused solely on the “Virtual Gallery” model. Through his experience in the marketing and location of 20th Century Icons ROBIN RILE FINE ART has evolved into a Fine Art Concierge service.

“Just as another concierge would find tickets, cars or planes for you, I locate hard-to-find artwork,” says Horth. “The typical gallery model may not have the same sort of world-wide cache as we live in a much smaller world now. People want to feel that the dealer they work with can research and locate the perfect work for their collection no matter where in the world it might be.

“The new RobinRile.com is a state-of-the-art destination for new home buyers, designers, and those who seek to locate works from 20th century Icons such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Robert Indiana, Frederick Hart, Richard MacDonald and others.
Horth remarks, “Warren Buffett recently said ‘Invest when other’s are scared to invest. Only buy something you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years’, well, Art qualifies”.
Robin Rile Fine Art is named in honor of Horth’s father (Robin V. Horth, Maj. ASAF (ret)) and grandfather (Rile V. Horth, SSgt, USMC (Deceased)) and owned and operated by Reed V. Horth.

ROBIN RILE FINE ART staff have arranged and placed a combined total of nearly $100 Million in International Fine Art purchases in the past 12 years working with private collectors, museums, institutional investors, private gardens, corporate clients and others, including members of the FORBES and FORTUNE 500.

Kick Off Art Basel with Italy’s Finest Female/Male Fashion Retailer, MARNI with a Grand Opening 12/2/08

Kick Off Art Basel with Italy’s Finest Female/Male Fashion Retailer, MARNI with a Grand Opening on Dec. 2nd from 5PM – 8PM

We wish to invite you to the MARNI boutique opening on Tuesday, December 2nd.
It is conveniently located across from the InFashion Art Expo. We hope to see you there!

Marni is pleased to announce the opening of its first flagship store in Miami. The boutique, situated in 3930 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 100, captures the mood of Miami’s Design District taking inspiration from the streamlined, rhythmic patterns of the Art Deco style for which the city is famous.

Simple glazing of about 25 meters forms two of the boutique’s exterior walls making the façade appear wide open, capitalizing on the bright, sunny climate and giving the space an airy lightness.

For the design concept of the 230 square meter store, Consuelo Castiglioni and the architects from Sybarite played with circular forms, repeating them throughout the boutique. Graduated patterns of semi-spheres in white timberland and “haute relief as decoration on the wall echoes the texture of local Art Deco buildings and becomes the signature element of the Miami boutique. Clusters of varying sized backlit fiberglass boxes, painted in a random spray from translucent white to natural tones, are set in the walls accommodating bags, jewelry and sunglasses.

Round tiered shoe displays in stainless steel are scattered around the space along with round leather stools, modular seating and beige colored circular rugs, breaking up the expanse of polished concrete floor.

Appearing to float on minimal supports a stainless steel rail undulates around the perimeter, inside of which stainless steel trees fan out. Mannequins sprayed from white to natural tones, hang from the ceiling, accentuating the sense of weightless suspension in space. A special area in the anti-fitting room is dedicated to the lingerie collection, which is presented in upholstered leather boxes.

This intriguing setting contributes to the heritage of Miami’s Design District and provides an unexpected and captivating way of presenting Marni ready to wear and accessories collections.
