South Beach Getaway

I just spent a well deserved extended weekend in Miami.  We stayed at The W South Beach, a new Starwood property that opened up in July 2009.  This place was a huge design inspiration and applied what we call "Bromstadian Principles".  If you don't know what that is then check out Color Splash Miami.

Below is a compilation of pictures from the hotel.  I love they way The W used pops of color and combines modern, quirky, and traditional elements (pay attention to the red wingback chairs with the jade green cheetah rug - perfection!).  Oddly enough, I used iMovie, an application on my 2006 Macbook that I just realized that was a) there on the computer and b) really easy to use.  Enjoy!

How Cute Is This?

Would you have the heart to wipe your feet on this little cutie?

Skinny Cargo Pant

I heard these J Brand pants were all the rage but I have a fundamental problem with pants without back pockets or little flaps for pockets.  It's just not flattering.

Another alternative to the skinny cargo was a pair by Hudson's.  Now these make your backside look super human.  Well worth the investment!
