Miami is a unique place, and one that I've grown to love. Growing up in the Northeast, the whole vibe of Miami and South Florida was something I had to get used to. My husband was born and raised here, and I've been able to explore so many different parts of the city through his eyes. Sometimes there is nothing better than going on a boat ride and being out on the water. eing married to an athlete, how does tness play a role in your life I work out a lot! Being a former athlete—I ran track at the University of Florida—it's really important for me to stay in shape and have that outlet. When you have down time, how do you like to spend it? I enjoy shopping, reading and traveling. When Udonis and I have down time, we love to get away. We recently traveled to Hawaii to spend some quality time together before the season kicked off. It's truly rewarding to experience new places with someone you love. We are very fortunate to be able to do that. hat are your favorite shops at al arour There are so many great stores, but if I had to pick my favorites, I'd say Bottega Veneta, The Webster, Chanel, Neiman Marcus, Saks and Zimmermann. Which new accessory is on your wish-list? I'm in love with Bottega Veneta's Cassette bag. I would love to get one for spring. hat's your favorite spot at al arour for lunch with your girlfriends It's always great to go to Makoto to enjoy some sushi and La Fete rosé with my girls Alexis Stoudemire, Kijafa Vick, Jeniva Samuels and Ashley Wheeler.
