A refreshing reprise from those chilly Winter days (okay, so it’s still 85 degrees in Miami….IT IS Winter)
YYC had the pleasure of meeting Tanya Marie-McLendon, buyer and designer of AZUL BOUTIQUE, Cocowalk.

The shop features rows of some of the finest Italian Labels this side of the Via Condotti! Jamaican born Tanya has a keen eye for fashion trends as well as style vision for her patrons (i.e. Not everyone walks out with the same bag of loot). She also has a great range of denims and interesting, chic little tops to suit every wallet.

Unlike many of the more franchised Boutiques in the area (adrift…and…awash? Fendi, Versace and Cavalli) Tanya likes to shake up the styles with a variety of undiscovered and local designers as well as the more celebrated Galliano and Cavalli pieces that we spied on our hunt. The inventory changes weekly so you don’t have that staid rerun retail experience.

YYC sends oodles of THANKS to Tanya AND AZUL for taking the time to share some of her style (we figured if we hung around long enough we might actually pick up a little of her sparkle by osmosis!!) We truly enjoyed seeing her own signature line with fluid seams and feminine colour stories.

Somehow, I don’t think I could get the same results by hoisting my Bernina out of the attic (maybe I should start by trying to remember how to thread a bobbin first).

Around the corner from Ling Chow Salon (LOVE YOU LING!!!) You may have found a new secret weapon.

Me Shot, You Shot, WE ALL GET Our Flu Shot.
Oh Yeah. You can get these puppies all over town now.
I remember one year that they were scarcer on the ground than Birkins
at Duty Free.
Now everything from the Grocery store onward is inoculating in Florida.
(Can’t wait for the Shell Station to do it: Regular, Unleaded, H1N1)
Still, some are harder to acquire than others.
I was at Target and after filling out what seemed to be the Outline
for a segment on Biography,
they told me I’d need to wait an additional twenty minutes.
That seemed a bit odd since I’m paying for the flipping syringe
myself. No Insurance, Just me.
What did they want to do with the Volume of details I wrote–apply for
a mortgage? channel my mother psychically to see if she approved?
Hard to say.
Nix’ed that one.
Finally landed on the wrong square and wound up at my Primary care physician.
Wheee.
That’s a good way to blow a day.
He’s a nice enough guy, but could he wait in My Livingroom to see me
for a few hours just to even the score?
I’ll turn the television on Regis and have some back dated Magazines
from ‘03-’06 just in case…..
The nurse was drawing enough blood (post Halloween) to give someone a
transfusion.
Now I’m waiting to find out if anyone would want it in the first place.
(Note to Japanese friends & lovers: Hey, I’m O+)
I feebly tossed in that I might be in the market for a shot (Whee, I
know how to have FUN)
BINGO (or ZINGO as the case may be)
I mean, I WAS in my quasi belted, vein poppin’ Glory anyway…..
she asked me a few key questions….
allergies to eggs…..
was I Robert Guillaume?
(actually ONLY sounded like that….she meant: do I
have-Guillain–Barré Syndrome….I think)
And well, now…..

eight hours later, I feel like poop
and you know, I am starting to look like “Benson”
