For funky boutiques, second-hand shops and Vogue-worthy labels, South Beach, the Design District and the Upper East Side are your best bet. For those who aren’t on a budget, Bal Harbour Shops (9700 Collins Avenue, FL 33154, +13058660311) is the Rodeo Drive of Miami, an open-air mall where Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Brooks Brothers and the like coexist peacefully with Gap and Banana Republic.

If you prefer indoor malls, head to Michael Jackson’s fave – the Aventura Mall (19501 Biscayne Boulevard, N Miami Beach, FL 33180, +13058660311), a 2.3 million square foot space with over 250 specialty stores, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and, Jacko’s favorite, Kron Chocolatier.
