Imagine Miami

A cheery gift shop in Midtown. An eclectic mix (think vases, bath salts, canvas totes, hand-painted scarves, journals, locally crafted jewelry, candles, chocolate). Most everything is green, fair trade, or handmade. Lovely to browse.

Cocoa Couture Miami

The shop, where everything retails for less than 100 bucks, is the perfect destination now that the economy’s gone to the dogs. Great for summer dresses, fun jewelry, and glittery clutches.
