Kaido Brings a Sleek, Japanese-Style Lounge to the Miami Design District

Tuesday, Jan, 8 2019

Ask us to brag about Brad Kilgore, and it could take hours — this South Florida chef and restaurateur has done it all. He was a James Beard Award nominee for “Rising Star Chef” two years in a row, and was a James Beard semifinalist for “Best Chef South” just last year. Kilgore was recognized as “Best New Chef” by Food & Wine, earned a spot on the World’s 50 Best San Pellegrino list, and most recently, teamed up with mixologist Nico de Soto to open a hot new Tokyo-inspired cocktail lounge, Kaido, right here in the Miami Design District.

In Living Coral

Monday, Jan, 7 2019

New year, new color. And this year, according to Pantone — the authority on color — Living Coral is the color of 2019. This pinkish, reddish, orangey hue with golden undertones will be the inspiration for color palettes across fashion and lifestyle brands. If you’re looking for a pop of brightness than you are in luck for both your closet and your home. However, if you are wondering what to pair this popular color with, teal, turquoise, and pink are all complementary, but don’t limit yourself! There are many options in the color wheel that will work.
