What part of Black Friday is it that people find attractive? Is it the hour long lines? Searching for what seems like an eternity for a parking space all to end up going to valet and paying $15.00 for someone else to park your car? Going through endless racks to find that size medium dress to then find it has a rip on the seem? I'm sorry, do I sound bitter? I really just hate the idea of
wasting spending a day going through all these hassles. So it was very refreshing to walk over to Commodore Plaza, Cocowalk and the Mayfair shops, and find that there was a plethora of parking spaces, the lines were short and painless and yes, they too had sales. But i'll say that my favorites were the antique market and Goldie's. What lovely finds.
Mayfair Antique Market Coconut Grove
What better Christmas gift to buy your BFF or your sister than a one of kind pair of antique gold earrings for only $55.00? Or buying your mom a lovely antique pure silver bowl with matching flatware for only $95.00? An extension of the Lincoln Road Antique & Collectible Market in Miami Beach, Mayfair Antique Market Coconut opened in 2009. It was like walking into a chest full of amazing goodies. For those of you that enjoy antique shopping, Mayfair Antique Market offers a great mix. From grandma's china to an amazing Louis Vuitton suitcase, here you will find it all. I will confess that I found antique shopping to be a bit intimidating. I thought it would be extremely expensive and not a hobby I could afford. But this place proved me wrong. So many amazing finds from all decades all for prizes that wouldn't break my bank account. There is something here for everyone. Check 'em out. They are located on 2900 Grand Avenue, between Virginia and Mary Street.
Goldie in Coconut Grove
Walking into Goldie in Coconut Grove was like biting into a warm brownie topped with french vanilla ice cream drizzled with warm chocolate fudge. It felt so comforting and oh just so right. I felt like I belonged there. There wasn't a shark, I mean stalker, sorry, a salesperson hounding me to see if I wanted to try that dress on in my size. I had just walked into my girlfriend's closet trying to find something to wear for our night out. Now, if you're expecting a warehouse full of sizes, a la Forever 21, you will not find it here at Goldie. But I guarantee you will find something (and by something, I mean everything) that will catch your eye. They have beautiful designer dresses, shoes and accessories. Here it is quality over quantity. This was my first time visiting Goldie but it will most definitely not be my last.
