If there is a Heaven, it would look like this

The Viceroy in Miami is officially, without question, the BEST place I have ever been in my life.  No matter where you look, you are surround by such divine luxury, that it's hard to breath.  My visit capped off a glorious day of visiting all the vintage and antique shops that Miami has to offer, a few glorious examples to be seen below.  How insane is that horse lamp!!!!!!

Trust me when I say that there is no better way to end a day than cocktails and a bite at The Viceroy.  I was the biggest dork snapping pictures like a tourist, but I didn't care.  These pictures can't even begin to explain the decadence.  

That fireplace is roughly 15' high, and why, exactly, don't I dip all my furniture in rubber!?  It's ingenious!

Can I get married again just so that I can have my wedding shower here?

I'd like another cocktail please, and can you just rub this sun block on my back?  Oh, it's time for my spa appointment?  Well, you know, a woman's work is never done...

This is the river of joy... what more can I say?  Well, this... that chandelier ~ no less than 15 FEET across and lemon yellow.

So, imagine, if you will, a day spent browsing some of the most phenomenally designed furniture of the last 60 years, having lunch with daytime wine,  more shopping, followed by this feast for the senses, yummy dinner, inspired cocktails and, let's not forget, riveting conversation the whole way through, provided by my fabulous MIL Rena!  Hey, Rena, when are we going to see that Taj Mahal Opera?

Do it again, ooh, ooh, do it again!

Would you know what I meant if....

...I said, "I wish my life more closely resembled Rachel Getting Married?  I mean, without the dead brother and the alcoholism and the fighting and the car accidents, of course. I want these guys to be playing "Here Comes the Bride" every time I leave my house to go to the grocery store.

And these guys to serenade me while I am doing the laundry (as infrequent as that may be) And lastly, I would like this cake every Sunday following brunch on the lawn with a ton of crazy people in jewel toned saris dancing and paper lanterns every where.

Is that too much to ask?
