TEAK CHIC: If your house rocks the Indonesian vibe, roll over to Chantik Imports because the store is closing up shop and everything has to go. Stock up on authentic masks, Balinese and teak furniture, fluffy pillows and one-of-a-kind décor from owner Stuart Gitlin’s 20-plus year collection of all things East. Pier One doesn’t have a thing on your home furnishing style. 6667 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 954.559.2804
THE CHANG GANG: Strange but true, Julian Chang used to be where Chantik Imports currently resides. We wonder if the boutique will skip back to its old haunt once it’s vacant again? It’s something to ponder while you surf the racks of gowns and microminis at the fashion destination that’s literally two doors down from Chantik Imports. The clothing store by the Miami designer of the same name is selling select wares for $20, $40, $50 and $100. And that, fashionistas-in-the-know, is a real steal. 6667 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305.791.8900
YOUR ROYAL HAIRNESS: Ever wonder what the Queen of England washes her hair with? We’re betting the bloody farm it isn’t Head and Shoulders. We’re guessing she’d splurge on something high and mighty like Amourai Organique’s Silver Spoon Shampoo ($11) and Her Highness Conditioner ($12), both organic and paraben-free. And when queenie’s been a little rough on her majestic mane, we assume she reaches for her Knight in Shining Armour ($14) to rescue her damsels in distresses with coconut oil, wheat protein and lavender essential oils. Plus, there’s free shipping when you spend more than $36. All hail the hair. Amourai Organique
