Sit out by the pool or sip some daquiris on the beach. Either way, pull out your Banana Boat spray and get your freaking tan on. And if it’s a hazy day, get your credit card on. There are so many great stores in South Beach, providing you with the hottest and latest fashions on Collins Avenue. At night, slip on a scandalous mini, sky-high heels, and sparkle your lips with gloss before heading out to any number of Miami’s hip and happening nightclubs where you’ll dance the night away with a bunch of sexy single men.
Want a chill night out with your gal pals? Put on a longer dress, lower heels, and hit one of the many hotel bars. Our favorite is the Raleigh. These are prime spots for meeting bankers, lawyers, and CEOs and they’re definitely there to meet you too. Not to worry if you like those cool dorks, or artsy-fartsy types as we do, they come here too. Though we do have a few recommendations, any hotspot you choose we guarantee you won’t be going home alone. The long of the short of it is: You singles have a bevy of babes at your disposal, and I do mean disposal.
