{How gorgeous is this nail art?  Hope your weekend was fabulous!  This is my last week at work before going on annual leave!  My husband and I have decided to go to Miami for our vacation this summer.  Have any of you been, or live there now?  I would love your recommendations as to which shops or places to visit... albeit I will have to drag myself away from the beaches, which may be difficult.  Have a great week...}
