Holiday Shopping Adventures at the Aventura Mall
by Tracy Block

Living in Aventura does have its perks. After all, it is home to one of the East Coast’s most popular shopping malls.

During 2008, the Aventura Mall expanded its colossal structure by adding an entire new wing anchored by Nordstrom along with a slew of new upscale boutiques.

This holiday season, be sure to grab your morning latte
before committing to your shopping spree; because at the Aventura Mall, there’s no such thing as a “quickie.”

From designer bags to lavish attire, unconventional stocking stuff ers and luxury accessories, you’ll find
everything you need at the towering one-stop-shop.
