South Florida’s happy, lazy days of summer provide the perfect chance to stay on top of trends in fashion and lifestyle. Spot gaps in your wardrobe (you can never have enough bikinis or breezy frocks) and fill them in between all the shopping you’ll do for all the grads and dads in your life, of course: Dad’s big day is Sunday, June 20 and many loved ones are reaching milestones throughout the month.
 | TRENDS
Apple (305.914.9824) has released its highly anticipated iPad (from $499), what it calls “the best way to experience the web, email, photos and video—hands down” (read: the best graduation or Father’s Day gift, ever!). The large touch screen, expansive onscreen keyboard and vivid LED-backlit display are just some of the ways it makes the entire communication experience remarkably seamless and more interactive than ever before. |  |  |  | Various shades of azure have been showing up in fashion all year, so the beautiful blue face on this Guess (305.931.2405) Gc timepiece ($450) will keep dad standing out in the crowd. He’ll be pleased that its style is as functional as it is attractive: Under the polished steel case and bracelet with the gorgeous blue textured dial lies a unique, dual-counter, precision Swiss chronograph movement and date, as well as SuperLuminova-coated hands and indices. | | |  | Aventura Mall’s brand-new Splendid (305.682.8178) store features pieces made of the line’s signature renowned soft fabrics and most color-absorbing yarns in the world. Besides all the comfy, cozy t-shirts, we love Splendid’s easy, romantic dresses: The subtly sexy Modal Contrast Dress ($155) is a fitted mini-skirt topped with a blousy, button-up shirt with Dolman-style, cuffed sleeves. | | |  | This summer is all about graphic prints that lend themselves to both an adventurous safari and a cosmopolitan cocktail party. Case in point: the Tribal Mosaic dress with rosettes ($995) by M. Missoni (305.466.3939). Pair it with gladiator sandals and a fabulous pedicure, or leggings and platform pumps for one of the most modern takes on color we’ve seen all season. | | |  | It takes a real man to pull off pink. Colorful, playful Spanish company Desigual’s (305.682.1490) hand made collection represents a return to craftwork—to pieces made by hand using traditional methods and techniques. The brand has even managed to take the preppy out of a pink argyle-style polo shirt, which looks much better suited to a creative bohemian than it does a golf-loving executive. | | |  | While it takes its name from the Italian word for “gypsy,” the Zingara (305.405.1212) line of swimwear and accessories is designed in Montevideo, Uruguay for a woman who “graces the seaside by day and savors cosmopolitan treasures by night.” We love the brand’s fun, relaxed, bohemian-chic flare and signature exotic color palettes, bold prints and patterns—especially the blue paisley Parsi one-piece ($189)…perfect for any recent grad’s much-needed summertime break. | | |  | NEW STORES
There’s even more to enjoy with Aventura Mall’s new stores: All Saints, Lego, Desigual, Splendid, Guess Accessories, Journeys Kids, J. Lindeberg.

| WhAt to See :
Turnberry for the Arts is a dynamic cultural initiative of Turnberry Associates, owner and manager of Aventura Mall, incorporates contemporary art and education at Aventura Mall. Recognizing the positive impact that art can have upon people of all ages from all walks of life, the mission of Turnberry for the Arts is to enhance the experiences of local residents and visitors from the U.S. and abroad in innovative ways. The Turnberry for the Arts collection currently features outstanding artworks by some of the world’s most renowned contemporary artists, including Donald Baechler, Louise Bourgeois, Gary Hume, Jorge Pardo, Jaume Plensa, Julian Opie, Lawrence Weiner, Tom Otterness, and Friends With You.
Tom Otterness is one of America’s premier public artists whose stylized bronze figures explore the range of human experience. Otterness describes Tree of Knowledge as “a biblical/judicial mix of story and image.” In this sculpture, the serpent of knowledge entwines a bronze tree. The serpent eyes an owl judge while blind justice weighs two small human figures. A possum engrossed in a law book hangs upside-down, oblivious to the drama surrounding him. At the bottom of the tree, a crafty beaver-lawyer threatens to topple everything.
Additional artist’s installation by Jim Dine will be forthcoming. For a more complete list on all artists and their installations, please visit our website, aventuramall.com and click on “Contemporary Art Program” under What’s New. | | |
