Alo Opens At Waterside Shops In Naples

This is super exciting news as we head into the holiday season. Alo has officially opened their doors at the luxurious Waterside Shops in Naples. The grand opening event was held over the weekend. I saw the sign over the summer when I was shopping with my daughter and mom. I thought this day would never come.

For those not familiar with Alo, the brand has grown in popularity over the last several years. Alo is an upscale yoga brand seen on social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, worn by some of the country's most popular young influencers.

Now, if you're not into yoga or working out, you'll still love this brand. I am a mother to two busy teenagers and this type of athleisure wear is perfect for running errands and heading to football or basketball games this season. I also work from home and these sets are not only comfortable but make me feel a little more stylish than working in my pajamas all day. Just kidding, I wouldn't do that...or would I? 😉

Alo is located in Waterside Shops, next door to Ralph Lauren and across the way from Anthropologie. Alo is open Monday through Saturday from 10am - 6pm and on Sundays from 11am - 5pm.

Alo joins a long list of other high end brands at Waterside Shops, like Saks Fifth Avenue, Lilly Pulitzer, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Lululemon, Tiffany & Co. Free People, Vineyard Vines, Hermes and a host of others.

This is the first Alo store in Southwest Florida and the ninth location to open in Florida. The other Florida locations are in Orlando, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Coral Gables and Aventura. A Sarasota location is scheduled to open soon at University Town Center.

The state of Florida is known around the world for its beautiful beaches and exciting theme parks. It's also known for having some free-spirited (OK crazy) people. Want to see some? Here are 5 ridiculous Florida Man videos for TikTok Tuesday.

The so-called Florida Man has become synonymous with the people whose judgement and activities are, at the very least, questionable. The Urban Dictionary describes the term Florida Man as "A type of man whose behaviour is idiotic but people laugh it off because they are from Florida."

The term has taken on a life of its own. Just recently, the first Florida Man Games were held. There were all kinds of outrageous competitions.

OMGitswicks has amassed a huge following on several social media platforms for his Florida humor. He is actually from Southwest Florida and quite often pokes fun at the "Florida Man". Here is an example of one of his "Only in Florida" posts.

If you don’t have a TikTok account, don’t worry. I’ve made it easy to view the videos by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post.

Some are edgy but they are still office friendly. If you share with you kids, make sure to remind them these are things they probably should NOT do.

This is a perfect example of a Florida Man video. This guy is having fun during a live broadcast. I love hearing the crowd response. They knew it was going to happen and couldn't wait for it. It evokes the response...So Florida.

This is hilarious and brilliant at the same time. If you live on a golf course or are a golfer in one of these communities, you will especially appreciate this. 

This might not be a typical Florida Man video, but the guy in it is a good representation of one. Plus, it was so funny I just had to post it. Nice Mullet. 

No, this is not a crazy road rage video. But you have to admit driving in Florida is always an adventure. You never know what you are going to see. Like this....

Alligators figure prominently in Florida Man videos. I did not want to post anyone doing stupid things like touching or jumping on the back of an alligator. But this one was unique. The Gator acts like a cat or dog here.
