Cocktails and Cardigans at Nordstrom
Now that the fall "cool front" has rolled in (at a chilling 70 degrees…brrr), it's time to enhance
your wardrobe with a few winter classics. And to ease you into your purchasing, there'll be gratis wine,
beer, vodka cocktails and a DJ—setting the stage for one hell of a "trying on button-downs" montage.

$7 Tapas at RA Sushi
Normally we don't get all rah-rah over tapas priced at seven dollars, but this is raw fish we're talking
about. RA Sushi's revamped menu now includes lots of tricked-out sashimi; our favorite has to be the
yellowtail bathed in a garlic citrus ponzu sauce, topped with organic greens and salmon carpaccio, with a
wasabi-infused oil.

Wilhelmina Model Search
Call it American Six-Pack. The folks at Wilhelmina are looking for a few good men and women to bare their
toned bodies at this open casting call for Shape and Men's Fitness. This may be the big
break you and your abs have been looking for—and even if you're not dreaming of being the next
MF guy but wouldn't mind seeing a few dozen of Miami's hottest Pilates regulars, this might be a
good time to pick up your weekly pack of Emergen-C.

Lamborghinis, Cigars and Wine
Picture a party with wine and cigars. Outside, overlooking the bay. Now add a fleet of the world's rarest
and most expensive cars, from the Lamborghinis of your childhood dreams to Aston-Martins and a Ferrari FXX
worth $2.5 million. Mix it together and you get the Festival of Speed, a must-see for anyone whose tastes
skew above a Honda Del Sol.
