Whenever I visit Miami, this outdoor mall is one of my requisite stops. Lined with some of the most luxe shops in the world (Neimans, Saks, Gucci, Prada, Frette), this fabulous two-story shopping mecca is perfect for people-watching and, of course, splurging. I love Books & Books -- they always have a great selection of signed copies and they often have special events & readings. Another highlight is the Art of Shaving store, which offers old-fashioned warm shaves in the ""barbershop."" There's also a handful of more affordable chains like Banana Republic, so even budget-shoppers can treat themselves.
Pros: Beautiful grounds, fabulous shops
Cons: Your wallet won't thank you
