LOVE TO LOVE YA: They say you can’t bottle love. But what if you could? What if love came in a moisturizing formula, something soft and nice you could slip on when you need a pick-me-up? We bet it would feel like Jurlique’s Love Balm. The multipurpose formula is fitting for faces, lips, elbows, feet, fingers and anywhere else that needs a little extra love. Plus, it’s portable, made with 98 percent natural ingredients and has a tangerine-scented twist. A little love goes a long way. $15, Jurlique
VENI, VIDI, VIGI: You’re craving something new to wear. You head to one of the mall’s anchor stores, step a few feet in and find the only options are better matched for your northern friends and their crazy snow-filled winters. Let Vigi, the chic boutique known for outfitting fashionistas for a decade, help you add some temperature-appropriate additions to your fall closet. We suggest the Maria Bianca Nero’s LBD ($318). It packs an ‘80s punch with lacy detail and a modern-day cut. Plus, it looks great with open-toe sandals, something those Northerns gave up months ago. Vigi, 7230 Red Road, Ste. A, South Miami; 305.661.7419
FOOT FETISH: You’re no Imelda Marcos, but you love shoes just as much as Carrie Bradshaw ever did. And you’d gladly give up months of grocery money to stick your toes in a sweet pair of Prada platform pumps. You’ll find those, and a bazillion other brands of high-end heels, like Louboutin, Elizabeth and James and Sergio Rossi at Saks Fifth Avenue Dadeland’s recently opened 100222 Shoe salon. We hope you have a lot of Ramen in the cupboard, because you may have a few grocery-less months after your first visit. Saks Fifth Avenue Dadeland Mall, 7687 N. Kendall Drive, Miami; 305.662.8655
