  february is looking to be an artsy month 'round miami. get georgia on the mind, be a boca baby and cell-ebrate with this list of monthly picks:


boca, baby.
the first elie tahari boutique opens here this month. it's one of a handful of the company's stores in the US carrying the full array of clothing, handbags and shoes. look forward to the colorful and diverse spring line inspired by exotic cultures. 6000 glades road. near NW 19th, boca raton. 561.392.3920. www.elietahari.com


georgia mind.
it seems like it's breasts everywhere on the jonathan adler georgia porcelain vase ($440). from afar, the white porcelain mammaries could be raindrops or pears. but look closely and they're actually bodacious boobs. artfully done, natch. available at barneys co-op. 832 collins avenue. near 8th. 305.421.2010. www.barneys.com


coco chic.
aside from art basel, the legendary coconut grove arts festival is miami's reigning cultural event for art aficionados. forty-five years old this year, the fest draws more than 150,000 peeps annually. even the poster ($15) is hot. this time it's by xavier cortada, who has been commissioned by the white house. february 16 - 18. the streets of coconut grove. 305.447.0401. www.coconutgroveartsfest.com


sex and sobe.
the boutique-cum-female fantasyland sex & boasts 6,000 square feet of sensual lingerie, clothing, prods and so much more. pick up lingerie from agent provocateur, kamasutra and jimmy jane. despite its name, this spot is many notches above the souvenir-like sex emporiums that litter sobe. 743 washington avenue. between 7th and 8th. 305.604.0119. www.sexand.com


stellar stella.
gary nader fine art galleries is the first south florida spot showcasing the works of frank stella on a grand scale. thirty-five pieces from varying periods of stella's career give gallery-goers insight into this american artist's five decades of painting and sculpture. 62 NE 27th street. at north miami. 305.576.0256. www.garynader.com


cell-ebrate.
sabrina cohen never lost her sass after a stem cell injury. to wit, the sabrina cohen foundation for stem cell research baby tees ($22) ain't your mama's charity case. what diva wouldn't want a "i'm sick of pricks," tee to support diabetes? flaunt your fight against breast cancer with a pink tee that says "my boobs are killer." available at www.freethestemcells.com
