Have you been feeling like an exhausted pile of laundry? Are you ready for an immediate glow-up that will not only restore your faith in yourself but also in humanity? Look no further than Fort Lauderdale's Aiden Jae Jewelry. Brooklyn-bred veteran jewelry designer and mom Randi Salvato created a stunning and sustainably crafted collection that works perfectly as a capsule, with stackable rings, necklaces to layer, and huggies fitting for multiple millennial ear holes. Inspired by the flora of South Florida, you'll find delicate studs that honor fragrant plumeria blooms, an elegant banyan collection that reflects the wrapped roots of this iconic tree, and sunlight, daybreak, and starlight pieces with sustainably sourced gems that reflect Miami's kaleidoscopic skies. Aiden Jae only uses recycled gold, ensuring affordability with 9K or 14K options. Salvato guarantees that Aiden Jae's carbon footprint is next-to-nothing and donates one percent of annual sales to environmental causes — important since, after the polar bears, we'll be the next to bear the brunt of the climate crisis. You'll gasp when you open her handcrafted pouches to reveal delicate forever pieces that moms will cherish and tweens will be borrowing.

If you're a bride who loves a good deal, look no further than the Find. Situated beyond black-and-white-striped awnings on Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables, next door to the long-running Chic Parisien bridal, the small sample sale boutique is filled with racks of dazzling designer dresses marked down to exceptionally affordable prices. The shop sells floor sample gowns from renowned high-end designers like Vera Wang, Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier, and Berta that were brought over from Chic Parisien (we're talking $12,000 pieces marked down to less than $2,000). The dresses usually come and go quickly, so we recommend keeping an eye on the Find's Instagram page. Also, because the store operates on an appointment-only basis, make sure to call before you pop in.

Childhood friends Duda Teizeria and Cristina Mantiall set out to build a creative agency and accidentally founded a jewelry brand, Éliou, that has since evolved into a full-blown clothing store. Accident isn't exactly the right word; Éliou, like its designs, grew organically. That growth turned exponential after a celebrity endorsement at the height of Harry Styles mania. Éliou, though, is beyond the hype. In fact, the key to its success is a relaxed elegance. The team's designs are effortlessly refined, natural but artful, and handcrafted. The lifelong friends use Miami, and its proximity to water, as a guiding inspiration. Their telepathically linked design process and dedication to authenticity — they don't make anything they don't want to wear — have created a playful yet defined brand. Éliou's coveted pieces are perfect for sumptuous sojourns along the Riviera or running errands in Little Havana.

The Maison Margiela space in the Design District is a standout architecturally. It's only one of five locations in the U.S. designed by Dutch abstract architect Anne Holtrop. While neutral plaster and iconoclastic façades shape the retail space, the fitting room is the pièce de résistance. An inverse of the rest of the store, it evokes a void with sleek, lacquered walls in the darkest possible green. Both ominous and serene, it has the energy and feel of walking into the black room of Jonathan Glazer's chilling sci-fi film Under the Skin. The midnight-green walls, complemented by impeccable lighting, make this the perfect space to evaluate a decadent purchase or snap a strong selfie.

Miami's had a lack of proper sexy lingerie shops since Flash at Bal Harbour Shops in the '90s. We've been jonesing for a kinky, elegant place to buy a skimpy bedtime getup. Enter Elle's. Once this lusty brand swung open its steamy doors in the Design District, that drought ended. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Miami store is loaded with lace and silk, a selection of wearable vibrating jewelry, golden handcuffs, lubricants, and design-minded sex toys. Elle's offers sultry items in cup sizes A to G, so it's likely you can find your best fit. Head to this salmon-hued shop to discover the newest undergarments from fan favorites like Kiki de Montparnasse, Carine Gilson, and Fleur du Mal. You can also grab swimwear, nipple covers, and an array of delectable scents from House of Bo_.

Some brands just scream of Miami good vibes, and Duvin Design Co. is one company that's leading that charge. Childhood friends Austin Duvall, Garrett Watzka, and Shaun O'Meara founded the brand featuring Duvin's playful swimwear. The line has celebrity followers, like Bad Bunny, who wore a Duvin shirt in his video for "200 MPH," and boasts an NBA collab with the Orlando Magic. Whether it's an op-art-inspired one-piece or swim trunks designed with a yellow and pink yin-and-yang design, it's serving internet Gen Z energy meets surf. As cabana sets have solidified themselves on Miami beaches and for Wynwood strolls, Duvin has been on the front line of that movement, too. The brand has expanded to 100-plus retailers internationally. Locally, you can snag some swimwear at the Wander Shop in Oakland Park and Nikki Beach Miami.

Prepare yourself to be greeted by Simone from La Spezia, Mario from Salerno, and Marco from Milano at the Bespoke Club — these are the tailors who serve Marlins players and other finely dressed dudes and meet their specific, personalized clothing needs. No matter who takes care of you through your suiting at this menswear shop, the process will be smooth as buttah. Housed in a mid-century modern space designed by Caroline Benoudiz, this bespoke experience is by appointment only.

The Bespoke Club imports directly from top fashion houses like Loro Piana, Drago, Holland and Sherry, and Dormeuil. They'll take measurements while you decide if you want your item monogrammed and the color of your stitching and buttons. Patience is a virtue, as a suit can take approximately four weeks to create.

Heads know Andrew, the Miami-bred skate and streetwear brand with an identity that revolves around its namesake hurricane. After holding down residence downtown, the company relocated earlier this year to a gleaming new storefront in the Design District across from Dale Zine's new digs. Along with a better retail experience, the brand's collabs — with the likes of alt filmmaker Harmony Korine, Italian dining hotspot Boia De, and Slip-N-Slide Records of Trick Daddy and Trina fame — confirm that they've still got their finger on the pulse of local and street culture.

Harlow's Vintage may look like a stylish time capsule, but it breathes new life into old clothes, as well as customers' wardrobes. This symbiotic relationship is facilitated by owner Mariet Salazar's gifted eye and impeccable taste. While the storefront is only a little over a year old, it is filled with the result of more than two decades of vintage hunting for the best pieces. Unconcerned with labels — though you'll surely find some exceptional brand names here — Harlow's Vintage understands that your look is your own and you just need the tools to make it a reality.
