Successful Shopping Trip to Miromar Outlets in Estero, Florida!

Every year I head down to Naples, Florida for a family vacation, and not a trip goes by without stopping at Miromar Outlets in Estero. My in-laws have a condo in Naples, which is about 25 minutes away from the outlet.  We always make sure to set aside a day to go there, and get some great deals on clothes for the whole family.

 

Miromar Outlets is an outdoor mall that has over 140 designer and brand name outlets with savings of up to 70% off retail prices. Just some of my favourite stores are Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Kate Spade New York, Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory, Nine West Outlet and Neiman Marcus Last Call. Not only do I love this mall for it's amazing deals, but I also find it so pretty to be at. Everywhere you look, there are palm trees, flowers and beautiful fountains surrounding you.

 

 I also like that they have covered walkways for when the sun gets too hot, and lots of benches and tables if we need to take a break and rest our feet.  Tip: They also have complementary Wi-Fi too!

 

If you wanted to grab a bite to eat there are a ton of restaurants, coffee shops and ice cream places. If you love macarons as much as I do, then you need to check out Le Macaron French Pastries! They were so yummy!   

 

 

 

A huge bonus for us was the playland area for the kids. They didn't want to shop for hours like I did, so my husband took them here for a bit and they had a blast! I loved that it was covered for the kids, and they also had a bunch of fans going to make sure they stayed nice and cool.

 

Tip: If you forgot your stroller, they do have some at the Visitor Information Kiosk.

 





Now heading to the Outlets this year was a bit more exciting because I partnered with Miromar Outlets to give you some helpful tips and hints on navigating the mall, so you can find the best deals possible! I also purchased 2 outfits on my shopping trip to show you how much you can save shopping at Miromar Outlets!

 

 

 

 

 One of the best tips I can give you is, DO YOUR RESEARCH! The day before I headed to the mall, I went on their website and went through the directory and wrote down all the stores that I wanted to go into. Next, I printed out the map of the mall that was on their website, so I could plan my route to make the best of my time. 

 

Checking out their website the day before was probably the best thing I could of done. There was so much valuable information on there that was so helpful. Not only was it going to save me time, but it also saved me even more money.  For instance, I clicked on their "offers" section online and it gave me a list of all the current promotions/specials certain stores were offering.  There was also a voucher that I printed out for a VIP Saving Brochure that was filled with additional money-saving offers!! I just took the voucher to the Vistor Information Centre, and they gave me the brochure. (see picture below)

 

Arrive early! I find it less stressful. Easy to find a parking spot, and not as busy as it would be in the afternoon.

 

Make use of their complimentary Shopper Shuttle. If you start to feel tired or just don't feel like walking to a certain store, they have a motorised shuttle service with stops located around the perimeter of the mall so you can get to a store more easily.

 

Obviously shopping at the outlet there are great deals, but did you know there are even better deals at the very back of the store? Each store I walked into, I went straight to the very back of the store to the clearance section. That's where the incredible deals were! Just think, outlets have amazing prices already, but how about outlet clearance prices?! Amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Want to see what I bought?! You won't believe how much I saved!

 Here is the first outfit I purchased. Remember, I just spoke about heading to the back of the store to their clearance section? Well, that's where I found this beautiful black dress. It's is from BCBG and I picked it up for only $28.99!! It was Reg. $118. My wedge heel shoes are from Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store, and they were only $43.49 (Reg. $90) To finish the look, I scored this black Kate Spade purse for only $79.20! It was 70% off- Reg. $198

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My second outfit I have to say is my favourite. I am in love with this gorgeous white lace dress that I purchased from Polo Ralph Lauren for only $66.29. It was reg. $129.99, so it was a great deal. I paired it with these pretty floral pumps by Guess that I found at Bloomingdale's The Outlet Store again. They had some great prices on shoes. These are only $32.24, Reg. $69. I then reused the black Kate Spade purse to complete this look.

 

 

 

So in total I saved..........$354.78 Isn't that amazing?! Which outfit did you like best?

Lace-Up Sandals

 

 

 

 

Dress- Forever 21 (Old)     Lace-Up Sandals - Forever 21 (New- Sold Out)

 

 

For my trip to Florida, I picked up these cute beige lace-up sandals at Forever 21. Now that I am back and writing this post, I can't believe they are already sold out. That was fast!  

 

I paired them with this orange dress, with white polka dots that I got from Forever 21 a couple of years ago. I am not going to lie, they do take a while to put on, but they are very comfortable, and I love them so that makes up for it, lol. I have a few other dresses in my closet that will go perfect with these sandals, so I think I will get a lot of use out of them this summer.

 

I linked a few similar ones down below since these are currently sold out. Who knows, they might get them back in stock, so I would keep an eye on the website if you really like them.

 

Hope you're having a great week!

Beachfront Dinning at Coast!

 

 

Last week while we were on vacation in Naples, Florida, we had lunch at this gorgeous restaurant located in the Edgewater Beach Hotel called Coast.

 

We had heard such good things about this restaurant, so we decided to go and check it our ourselves. Getting into the hotel was a breeze, they offer complimentary valet at the entrance.  Once we walked into the hotel, the restaurant was conveniently right in front of us.

 

 

 

 

Coast not only serves lunch, they are also open for breakfast and dinner 7 days a week. They offer seating indoors in their elegant dinning room, or outdoors on a beautiful terrace overlooking the pool and the ocean. They also have 2 lounge areas as well, and a bar with additional seating.

 

As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly staff. We went for an early lunch at 11am and it wasn't that busy yet, so we had the option of sitting indoors or outdoors. While those leather chairs inside looked pretty comfy, we felt sitting on the terrace on such a beautiful afternoon would be the way to go. The view was so breath taking!! I do suggest that you make a reservation anyways for whatever time you choose, just to be on the safe side.

 

 



Deciding what to eat for lunch was so difficult. Everything sounded so good! We ended up choosing the Traditional New England Lobster Roll ($20), Grouper Sandwich ($20), Cobb Salad ($15) and our kids got the pancakes ($7)

 

I got the Lobster Roll and it was amazing! Huge chunks of lobster on a toasted bun. You also have the choice of fruit, chips or French fries for your side and I chose fruit. My husband had the Grouper Sandwich, and I just had to have a bite of it because it looked so good. It had lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and this awesome key lime tartar sauce on it. The cobb salad was so yummy too- I think the papaya ranch dressing made it! I couldn't believe how big the order of pancakes were. It came with 4 large pancakes and fed both kids perfectly.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Once we finished our lunch we were lucky enough to get a tour of the hotel, including a few of their very popular rooms.

 

 

 

The first room we looked at was a Gulf View Suite. It had a king size bed, private balcony, a small kitchen and a desk. The view was so pretty- it over looked the pool and ocean. Similar to our view at Coast.  

 

The second room we toured was a Naples View Suite. It also had a king bed, kitchen, dinning area, and a private balcony that over looks Naples Bay. 

 

 

 

 

 My favourite room was the Beachfront Suite. OMG I felt like I was in a house in Malibu. You have direct access to the beach from your back door!! Talk about luxury living and convenience. You are literally 5 steps from the beach. This room also had a king size bed, kitchen, and 2 balconies. One in the main area and one in the bedroom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pool area is very spacious and steps away from the beach. They also have a bar in the pool area with seating to grab a drink or bite to eat. Just beyond the pool, they have a fire pit area which would be really great at night to grab a drink, listen to the ocean waves, and watch the sun set. 

If you are visiting Naples, and looking for a place to stay, or grabbing something to eat, check out Edgewater Beach Hotel. You can find more information by visiting their website HERE
