So head check out our round-up of cool Miami art galleries in the Wynwood Arts District.
Weird Trend We're Digging: Golf-Inspired Shoes
Golf: A sport with unparalleled elegance and unmatched panache. Because sunny SoFla is a default destination for those craving glistening green fields with beaming flags and sand dunes, golfer style is never overtly trendy, but has been appearing in our periphery as of late. Enter le golf-inspired shoe: an oxford-like sole often adorned with tassels and always oozing with refinement.
The golfer brogue is a classic American staple, a signifier of the well-heeled prepster life. Tory Burch has jumped on the bandwagon golf-cart with a colorful pair. But if you really have an inkling for detail, Jack Will’s brogues and F-Troup's golf flats will have you following every delicate curve that ornaments the leather. But no shoe can cause a cart collision such as Hexa by Kuho’s stomping sky high beauties. An odd choice for the green? Yes. But we know your style knows no boundaries.
So what do you think? Are these shoes appropriate for The Masters? Or are they better left behind at the mini course? We’ll let you decide. As for us, we’re grabbing these and swinging for a hole-in-one.
Clockwise from top: F-Troup Golf Flat Shoes, $234, available at ASOS; Tory Burch Ruth Loafer, $227, available at Tory Burch; Hexa by Kuho Fringed Heels With Ankle Strap, $715, available at Opening Ceremony; Jack Wills Glenthorne Brogue, $298, available at Jack Wills.
10 Dreamy Dresses Made For Hot Miami Weddings
If your summer looks anything like the majority of America's, you've got an awful lot of weddings to attend in the next few months. Dressing for a summer wedding is tricky enough, what with trying to find the right blend of attire and heat-appropriate garb, plus negotiating the season's dramatic hemlines. But doing it in Miami's wet heat is a flat-out challenge.
So, to keep your myriad of summer nuptials as stress-free as possible, we've rounded up 10 amazing, breathable, hot-weather-ready dresses that'll take second place only to the bride.
A couple of rules: No sleeves (for sweat purposes), light silk or cotton blends only (also for sweat purposes), and no heavy material or layers (yup, sweat purposes.) Try to keep hemlines no more than three inches above the knee, and make up for cotton casuals with a beautiful print or lovely necklace. Of course, we don't need to tell you that. For a Miami wedding, your best accessory is a fan!

Hoop Dreams! 12 Of Our Favorite Door Knockers For Grown-Ups

4 Rad Retiree Habits We Want To Steal
While those who believe that Miami is filled with New York migrants and tons of blue hairs in nursing homes are whole-heartedly off-base, the city does have a rich history of retirees settling in droves. And, though senior citizens might not be prevalent in your daily Miami experience, the elderly certainly have plenty of influence around the area. And, dare we say it, style.
Sure, we've improved on certain concepts our elders have missed out on (namely: sunscreen and breathable fabric), but this "leisure life" concept has something going for it. So, we say, let's celebrate our elders and breathe new life into their, erm, old practices with a couple of chic additions and new perspectives on retiree style. To flip the old adage — maybe you can teach new dogs some old tricks...
8 Ways To Rock Summer's Coolest Top — The Sleeveless Button Up…
The sleeveless button up once stood squarely in the realm of heat-sensitive soccer moms and lady golfers. A boxy and shapeless garment often rendered in saccharine pastels, the sleeve-free collared shirt was ditched when we quit high-school tennis.

Look...flats are, well, flat. They aren't the most luxurious of shoe, but no one can deny their necessity when traipsing about the 305, which is why we find ourselves returning to the comfort of the low-heeled staple again and again.

Short-Sighted! 15 Cropped Tops That Look Stylish, Not Sloppy
During her press tour for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara became a red carpet fixture. We ooh-ed and aah-ed over her rebellious choices, including her structured and streamlined Miu Miu cropped top. When she showed stomach, tongues totally wagged. How dare Miss Mara wear a cropped top on the red carpet? And even more shockingly, how dare she make it look so good?
Because gone are the days of the Kelly Kapowski belly barer, and while the super-slouchy, scoop neck or soft cotton cropped tee certainly has a time and a place, there is a new generation of shrunken shirts that, if not quite work appropriate, could make an appearance at a high profile event (just ask Rooney). With high-waisted slacks, luxe materials, and cuts that flatter, not obscure, this new generation of tip-top crops are certainly a cut above. Ready for one last pun?
