In 1822, French merchant Nicolas revolutionized the industry by selling quality wines in individual bottles rather than traditional barrels, laying the groundwork for the modern independent wine shop. Today, that localized approach has evolved into highly specialized retail experiences where expert cavistes guide collectors through rare allocations and low-intervention labels. Miami has embraced this shift, moving away from big-box retailers in favor of intimate neighborhood

Representing the absolute pinnacle of gemological rarity and artistic design, the tradition of exclusive high jewelry presentations traces its modern roots to 1893, when Frédéric Boucheron opened his sunlit salon at 26 Place Vendôme in Paris. Today, this discreet approach has evolved to serve an international clientele, and Miami has quietly become a premier destination for these elite appointments, offering dedicated heritage salons that rival those found in Europe. In our l

Manicures have evolved into a form of beauty and self-expression. The tradition dates back thousands of years, with ancient Egyptians using henna to color their nails and fingertips. Today, waterless treatments, detailed nail art, and custom designs have taken the experience to a new level. At Miami Living, we love a great manicure, especially when artistry, technique, and attention to detail come together. We’ve rounded up ten of our favorite high-end manicure studios in Mia

A new ultra-luxury office space is taking shape in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, where a Pebb Capital-led joint venture has acquired UNO South Pointe and plans to transform the building’s top floor into a 10,000-square-foot penthouse office. The 51,000-square-foot mixed-use office and retail property sits at 119 Washington Avenue, just steps from the waterfront in one of Miami Beach’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Bonaire feels different from the moment you arrive. Many Miami travelers may not know much about Bonaire, but this relatively under-the-radar Caribbean island quickly proves that its low profile is part of its appeal. The Dutch Caribbean island is less about crowded beaches and nightlife and more about nature, water and the freedom to explore at your own pace. Covering roughly 114 square miles, Bonaire combines cactus-covered hills, salt flats, mangrove channels and rugged v

Luxury watches have become much more than instruments for telling time. At the highest end of the market, rare gemstones, intricate craftsmanship, limited production, and fascinating histories can turn a watch into a multimillion-dollar collector's piece. Some are made in extremely limited numbers, while others are unique creations that blur the line between fine watchmaking and jewelry. Miami Living Magazine ranks the world's ten most expensive watches, counting down to the

Matcha has experienced a surge in popularity in recent months, leading to reports of global shortages and price increases. If you haven’t been caught up in the craze, matcha is a powdered version of green tea. On a cafe menu you might see a hot or iced matcha latte, or even a matcha-flavoured cake or pastry. A quick google brings up countless recipes incorporating matcha, both sweet and savoury. Rawpixel.com/Shutterstock Retailers and cafe owners have suggested the main reaso

Puglia is not a destination I would recommend rushing through. The region rewards a slower approach, where a morning drive through olive groves can be as enjoyable as arriving at a famous town, and a long lunch can easily become the centerpiece of the day. What I like most about Puglia is the contrast. There are elegant Baroque cities, tiny villages, historic palazzi, ancient masserie and beautiful coastline, but there is also a simplicity to everyday life here. Olive oil, fr

Rome is one of those cities that can feel almost too familiar before you arrive. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Vatican have been photographed so many times that it is easy to wonder what could possibly be left to discover. Quite a lot, actually. The secret to enjoying Rome is not avoiding its famous sights, but knowing when to see them, where to stay and when to turn down a quieter street and let the city reveal itself.

Rocco Forte Hotels has been on my list of stays for some time, so I welcomed the opportunity to experience one of its flagship properties, Hotel de Russie in Rome.

Over time, Hotel de Russie became a landmark near Piazza del Popolo, hosting an eclectic mix of guests, from painters to politicians. Pablo Picasso and

For several months during the summer of 2022, my dog Scout vomited at 3 a.m. nearly every day. If you have a dog, you know the sound. And each time, she gobbled up her mess before I could get to it, making diagnosis of the cause difficult.The vet and I eventually settled on my hydrangeas as the source of the problem – but keeping Scout away from them didn’t work. She started to seem tired all the time – highly concerning in a typically hyper yellow Lab puppy. Photo by Sander

You probably already know that how you eat before bed affects your sleep. Maybe you’ve found yourself still lying awake at 2 a.m. after enjoying a cup of coffee with dessert. But did you know that your eating choices throughout the day may also affect your sleep at night?

Salads – along with other fresh produce – are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. Leafy greens are rich in vitamins A, C and K, folate, potassium and magnesium. They also contain lots of fiber, which supports a healthy gut microbiome, promotes fullness, helps regulate blood sugar, and may contribute to healthy aging and better cognitive function. Prewashed greens are extremely convenient, but whole heads of lettuce may be less risky during a cyclospora outbreak. CostaPP
