Ashley Gilroy Wein (AGW), founder & designer of Atlas Fine shares some of her favorite spots & tips. “Off the Beaten Path: Miami is where I go to recharge and get away from the regular grind in Aspen and NY. So I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I embrace the Miami “work is optional” mentality and do a lot of TLC when I’m there. My morning routine is heading to Sunset Harbor to grab a coffee at Panther while I answer the first round of work emails. Then walk over to Modo Yoga for a sweat sesh, then drive down to my favorite health food cafe Under the Mango Tree for the most authentic acai bowls and kapa coffee frapps with homemade almond milk. Envision earthy rainforest vibes where everything comes in biodegradable dishware. And while you’re down there, head to Muse Beauty for the most a Russian Manicure that will last you four (!) weeks.” More of her personal recs below!
