a saturday night in miami with good friends and Sheila Hicks

one of the things i have always loved about miami is the art
it is everywhere
in the architecture, painted on large walls free for everyone to see, in so many art galleries and museums….
miami is art
after a day at the pool with the girls, i dropped them off at Savannah’s house for a sleepover and had a big girls night out in southbeach
it started with the opening of Sheila Hicks at the bass museum and it ended with a walk down memory lane through the hotels on collins avenue where i used to hang out back in the day
i miss those kind of miami nights
i saw more art and color in one day/night in miami than i have living here in asheville for the past almost four years
thus the reason why my soul aches living here in these mountains
especially in the winter time
happy friday friends!

i think all that color just can make you happy! it’s not just the sun-sea mix but also all that’s surrounding the city-state
