Rite Aid | South Beach | Shore Club | Miami
The Perfect Storm
by
Mark SealI mostly go to Barneys Co-op in
South Beach, which is all Barneys
stuff from their stores in L.A. and New York. When I want to have
big-time shopping, there's
Bal Harbour Shops, a 20-minute drive
from South Beach. All the big stores are there. And then there's
Scoop, which is inside the
Shore Club. Scoop is sort of just a
mixture of really cute things. When you are going out and you
didn't bring a dress, or if I have an event and I didn't buy
jewelry, I go to Scoop. There's Me & Ro Jewelry, as well, a
sort of spiritual-based store in the Shore Club. It's just a great
place to go to if you forgot stuff.
The City Spirit in a Drugstore
What makes
Miami so great isn't hanging out with celebrities. What
makes it great is the vibe of the city. You feel like you're in
Latin America. It feels more liberal. I like that when I would go
into the
Rite Aid in Miami, everyone was speaking Spanish to me. No
one would speak English at all. It wasn't, like, a mom-and-pop
bodega - it was a Rite Aid. And I don't speak Spanish at all, so I
just sort of piecemealed my own version of Spanish to get out of
the store. They don't care that you don't speak Spanish, but
they're going to speak Spanish to you regardless. People are real
proud to be who they are, and, I don't know, I like it. I like that
when you go to a place like Rite Aid or Walgreens, you know,
they're going to speak in Spanish to you just because they can.
