Creatures of the Wind Debuts in Miami

/

By Gisel Habibnejad Photography by World Red Eye Miamians will be happy to know they can now peruse collections by Creatures of the Wind locally. The brand was born in Chicago and created by runners-up of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters in 2008. In its first season, it was picked up by Barney’s New York. The brand also appeared in Women’s Wear Daily Top Ten New American Fashion Brands to Watch in 2013. Many who shop the collection can see the collections are driven by “concept and narrative; inspiration is drawn from subcultures, mythological themes, and youth culture.” They also like to think outside the box and invite artists and designers of other disciplines to collaborate. Creatures of the Wind can now be purchased locally at Neiman Marcus Merrick Park & The Webster Bal Harbour For more information, please visit www.creaturesofthewind.com

5 of the Most Inspiring European Hotels

/

By Nadja Atwal What better to do in the new travel year than discovering a new European city or revisiting a city and falling in love with it all over again by exploring new sites and places there? Yes, but it all starts with picking the right hotel. With these unique hotels, we feel right away a bit more alive, happy and inspired to discover more… 1. The Propeller Island Hotel, Berlin Have you ever slept in a flying bed? Or in a lion cage? Lars Stroschen, a top German artist who is making waves with his talent around the globe, makes it possible and enjoyable for you – unless you suffer from claustrophobia and book the crypt room where the beds are coffins – no, I’m not joking. In his Propeller Island Hotel, 30 totally unique rooms range from interesting to simply outrageous (like the upside down room) and make for a trip you will always remember. The website of the hotel is worth a visit with photos of each room ready for reviewing. Want to bet you will have a hard picking just one favorite? For more information, please visit http://www.propeller-island.de/english/2/6/ 2. May Fair Hotel, London London is always calling and the May Fair Hotel may be the answer to all that a distinguished traveler could ask for. It instantly makes you say “wow” when you enter. The elegant modern interior, the sleek spacious bar and restaurant where at lunch time almost every man is dressed in a Bond-like suit and the Cigar Room where both gorgeous men and women enjoy their Monte Christo equally. The rooms and suites bedazzle you with seductive, rich colors plus high-end woods and crafting. Last but not least: there is a casino! The Palm Beach Casino is tucked away on the lobby level. Elegant and just big enough – with all you need for your own “Casino Royal” experience. For more information, please visit http://www.themayfairhotel.co.uk 3. Jaz in the City Hotel, Amsterdam Everyone loves Amsterdam. And the brand new Jaz in the City Hotel is one more reason to love it. Check-in and checkout can conveniently be done via smartphone (the room key is also obsolete); your phone can handle it all – safe and fast. The perfect mix of fashion and music meet coziness makes each room your wannabe home. Gorgeous wall paintings, perfect lighting, and the most comfortable bedding that makes you want to stay in bed all day. Since we all like to stay in shape while traveling but don’t necessarily want to leave the room for it, the Jaz came up with a solution and created a simple but very effective Yoga kit for each room (fun alone or with your +1). For more information, please visit http://www.jaz-hotel.com/amsterdam 4. Saint James Hotel, Paris Private entrance with impeccable green lawns? Check. A chateau with all the romantic aspects we associate with it? Check. Gourmet restaurant? Check. Spacious rooms and a top-rated superb spa? You can have it all and yes, in Paris. Sounds too good to be true, but the gorgeous Saint James Hotel is that unique find. In addition, the 48 rooms of the only chateau-hotel in Paris seduce you with chic style and first class comfort. Romantic and sexy, just like Paris itself – guaranteed as the perfect place for creating memorable moments. For more information, please visit http://www.saint-james-paris.com/ 5. Abitart Hotel, Rome The saying goes “All roads lead to Rome…” Well, sooner or later you simply have to visit. And this city doesn’t just overwhelm you with an endless list of must-sees, it is also wooing you with too many gorgeous hotels to choose from. Yet, the Abitart Hotel sticks out, and already the name tells the story of the hotel’s philosophy: “Art should be part of our daily lives. Art nurtures the human spirit.” And the entire interior delivers accordingly, including and especially the rooms: every one is a piece of art in itself delivering both tranquility and inspiration. For more information, please visit http://www.abitarthotel.com/en

Triple-Layer Raw Chocolate Mint Cream Bars Recipe

/

In celebration of Chocolate Day, why not try a new chocolate recipe without breaking your diet? This Triple-Layer Raw Chocolate Mint Cream Bar recipe, made possible by celebrity nutritionist and author of The Beauty Detox Power Kimberly Snyder, contains ingredients beneficial to your healthy and beauty. The recipe came about when Kimberly was preparing to bake a birthday cake for a close friend. INGREDIENTS Base Ingredients: – Parchment paper, for lining the loaf pan – 1⁄2 cup raw almonds – 1⁄2 cup raw pecans – 1 cup medium Medjool dates, soaked and well drained – 1⁄4 cup cacao powder Pinch of sea salt Mint Cream Filling Ingredients: – 2 small ripe Hass avocados, peeled and pits removed – 1⁄3 cup minced fresh mint – 1⁄3 cup coconut nectar – 1⁄4 teaspoon organic peppermint flavor – 1⁄4 cup melted coconut oil Chocolate Topping Ingredients: – 1⁄4 cup coconut oil – 1⁄4 cup raw cacao powder – 2 tablespoons coconut nectar INSTRUCTIONS 1. Line the bottom of a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Be sure to leave an overhang so it’s easier to remove the finished bars. Set aside. 2. Prepare the base. Combine the almonds and pecans in a food processor, and process to form to a coarse meal. Add the dates and process until the dates are broken down. Add the cacao powder and salt and pulse to combine. The nut-date mixture should stick together when pressed between two fingers. Press the nut-date mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and set in the freezer to make a crust while you prepare the filling. 3. Prepare the filling. In a high-speed blender, process the avocados, mint, coconut nectar and peppermint flavor until smooth. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides a few times. Add the melted coconut oil and blend for a few seconds to combine. The mint mixture should be thick and creamy. (If your blender doesn’t process the mixture very well, try blending it in batches until smooth.) 4. Remove the loaf pan from the freezer. Pour the avocado-mint mixture on top of the nut-date crust, smoothing it out with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Return the loaf pan to the freezer and let the avocado-mint layer get firm, at least 1 hour. 5. Prepare the chocolate topping. You’re almost there! Last layer, here we go. Whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. 6. Remove the loaf pan from the freezer once again and pour the chocolate topping on top of the avocado-mint layer, smoothing it out quickly with an o set spatula or the back of a spoon. Return the loaf pan to the freezer one last time and allow the topping to set, at least 1 to 2 hours. 7. To cut this into bars, remove the triple-layer block from the loaf pan by pulling up on the parchment paper. Set it on a cutting board. Place a sharp serrated knife in a jar of hot water for several minutes, wipe it with a kitchen towel, and then, using a light sawing motion, cut the block into squares. It’s okay if the top cracks (I think it actually looks pretty that way), but try to keep all the layers intact. Warm the knife in the water as needed to cut all the squares. 8. Store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a 3 weeks (if they last that long!). For more information or recipes, please visit http://kimberlysnyder.com/recipes/

Food Network UK Star, Andy Bates, Brings a British Gastropub to Miami

/

By Justina Coronel Photography by Alex McKenzie Photography The Arts and Entertainment District has been known for its live musical performances, outdoor movie nights, and creative events to get the community involved. In November, the project A&Eats: The Search for Miami’s Next Great Restaurant Concept, which is a community-driven contest, put together a live cook-off competition for a winner to open up the next big thing in their area. With more than 60 submissions, 4,000 online votes, and 30 plus semifinalists, The Avenue was a people’s choice and ultimate winner. The Avenue, a British gastropub concept, will open up in the fall on the ground floor of the Filling Station Lofts to take over Miami’s taste buds. The Food Network UK star, Andy Bates, is the mastermind and chef in construing these mouth-watering British pub food classics that are perfectly paired with American craft beers. As a starter, guests can enjoy the Welsh Rarebit, which is ‘deviled’ cheddar cheese and beer placed on toasted sourdough paired with a light and crisp beer. Another dish called the Scotch Egg has a soft boiled egg wrapped in sausage that is breaded and fried. Besides having the classic recipe of fish and chips, The Avenue will also have a British favorite, the Pie and Mash, which is a beef, ale, and bone marrow pie with a side of mash and peas. To top it off, a delicious dessert option will include a Sticky Toffee Pudding, which is a date and treacle sponge with condensed milk ice cream. With hearty meals and brews, The Avenue will have a down-to-earth atmosphere and will be the newest hot spot in the upcoming Arts and Entertainment District.

The exclusive soiree featured live makeup tutorials by Munsell on model Louise using products by Beauty for Real. Lip Revival ($14) An exfoliating lip scrub that hydrates while conditioning your lips for a smooth base to apply lip products. The scrub contains carnauba wax, sugarcane, cinnamon bark, orange and vanilla essential oils. Total Body Revival ($24) Much like the Lip Revival, this full-body scrub exfoliates to remove dead skin to ensure healthy skin and smoothness. Ingredients include raw sugar, sugarcane extract, rapeseed oil, carnauba wax, safflower seed oil, and coffee leaves.
