 Art You Can Wear |
3423 Main Highway Miami, FL 33133 United States +1 305 441 2998 |
Ana Maria Guiulfo is a Peruvian designer who produces art you can wear. She is a painter at heart, so she hand paints all the fabrics she uses. Although most of her designs are sewn in Peru, she paints everyday at her home in Miami. Heavy silks, alpaca wool fabrics and unusual stitches are just some of the unique details of her collections. The designs are classic, but modern and very beautiful-sort of a combination of Latin, South Floridian and European flair. If you have bought designer clothes before, you will find these ones very reasonable. Besides, they are unique! Her clutches are worth the price and are going like hotcakes! This is the showcase of one talented designer! - Mercedes de Marchena Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Fragrance Shop philosophy is simple: consumers pay too much in department stores for perfumes diluted by alcohol and other fillers.

Hundreds of popular designer fragrances have been imitated, using only pure oils (no alcohol, no fillers). If you are looking for something unique, the staff will be thrilled to help you create your own personalized fragrance. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The stores, or "salons" as they are called, maintain a high profile, and this one in Bal Harbour is no exception. You can expect impeccable service, and to be set back by several thousand dollars if you decide to secure one of the exquisite pieces on offer. Review © 2007, Wcities |
