Hiya Wednesday last full day in Miami. In typical Maven form, I'm at Merrick Park while the movers have taken over our apartment, which is weird yes, but oddly fitting. You native Miami types know the place well- it's the civilized, less over the top version of Bal Harbor, that other temple to luxury and gluttony. I have spent a lot of time at this place- it's indoor/outdoor and very pretty and have always loved it. Plus I can't have enough of Nordstrom's iced vanilla chai. Really one of my favorite things...
Merrick is one of those places I actually found myself digging in Miami- it's close to home, was a quick drive from my old office for lunchtime shop bys, and has just enough shopping to get your fix, but not so much that you feel like dying after. (I'm referencing Dadeland and Aventura here- ugh).
Sure it's funny that my apartment is full of burly men with loads of tape and boxes while I sit here and get my makeup done at the MAC counter (it calms my nerves), but why not? I'm going to leave Miami with a well done lip and a smartly neutral eye and that, my friends, is THAT. The movers make me nervous, and they're much better off without me, really.
Though I am not sure what's ahead, I am thrilled, tired, and wide eyed to finally come home. The past few days have been easy peaz (best packers, movers) but a bit emotional at the same time- not really about leaving Miami but more about woah- 7 years sure goes fast. Can't believe it. That and I feel like we're duping sweet Khan dog into a new life that he may have not signed up for- here he is thinking he's coming home from daycare tonight to his nice home, and he's not. We'll just have to make it up to him in New York- he does seem the intellectual type, but not so sure about the cold...
Regardless I'll be back to posting about fashion coolness, things I love, etc. (PS have you seen Paris Vogue with Kate Moss on the cover dressed as Ziggy Stardust? Unreal and amazing). Plane leaves tomorrow and the end of an era, and a new time begins. Hope you all keep up with me during this time of change, and most likely you'll find me somewhere in the city,nervously getting makeup done to circumvent some of the fears and mishagas I have associated with the unknown. All the love, cause that's what's up this last day of full time living in the MIA, you weird town full of weirdness though I may miss your gorgeous light and dappling ocean. Oh, and happy Basel to all you lucky bastards enjoying it. Have a fabulous time. I'll be back next year...XO
