If you’re still in shopping mode (and you are) divas are invited to Dolce & Gabbana’s Girl’s Night Out celebration. Palm readings, cocktails, a DJ, and D&G’s Spring 2011 collection? We’re so there –sometime between 6 and 10 p.m. RSVP 305-866-0503 (Bal Harbor Shops, 9700 Collins Ave.)

If you need a mid-day Starbucks jolt, or want to dance the night away, Art+Culture Editions at the Gansevoort and F•ck Art, Let’s Dance at The Electric Pickle Co. are still happening today (if yesterday’s itinerary was too full, obvs).   (more…)

Translation: men everywhere.  How to choose?

Answer: menswear designer duncan quinn as a party host (with Social Diva, of course).

Who says divas don’t drink gin?  When there’s life to celebrate in the Design District for Art Basel, they do – especially when it’s Oxley Gin. Casino Royale has comp’d bevies with your name on them… and 42 Below Vodka will also be there, so never fear.  There will be something for all divas discerning taste buds.  (more…)

Parking’s A Bitch. Why Not Make It Easy? Roam Vespa Scooter and Bicycle Rentals

You know Miami is full of Euros, you may actually be one of them. So, what’s not to love about a little culture from around the world?

Time to Roam on a Vespa.  Hello, obsession.

We’re all about indulging our inner European without the expense of airfare.  Think Vespas at their finest – meticulously maintained and brand spanking new and they are so super stylish too.

You wouldn’t waste time hailing a taxi when you could have the wind blowing through your hair.  And Facebook it, you are definitely not into searching for a non-existent parking spot when front door parking is an option.   (more…)

Fashions Night Out… Who Doesn’t Want To Play Anna Wintour?

Picture this: an after-hours shopping exclusive in Miami’s most fashionable district with cocktails and catered treats (comp’d, of course), celebrity sightings, and musical perfection from groove genius Elastic Bond.

It all started last year when Anna Wintour launched Fashion’s Night Out to celebrate fashion around the world with 15 international Vogue editions.  This year on Friday, September 10th, Miami’s Design District is excited to be joining in the shopping extravaganza.  Elastic Bond performance in Oak Plaza at 9:00 pm.

Invite: Fashion Shows, Shopping Sprees, Cocktails and A Celeb

Your closet is absolutely full.  Stella’s minis, stilettos galore… so how is it that every time you’re going to work, you can’t find anything to wear?  Fret no longer, power femme.

Fashion show anyone?  That’s what we thought.

Let’s just say The Limited has gotten word of your, ahem, limited wardrobe for the 9-to-5.  So they’ve asked career expert and author Nicole Williams to host you and your power posse for three exclusive events.  She’ll answer questions and chit-chat about her fave looks from The Limited’s latest collection, and if you come to the Dadeland Mall appearance, you’ll also mingle with The Limited’s VP of Design, Elliot Staples, and his team of stylists.

Secret Cocktail Society Invite

A secret society?  Cocktail attire (and its corollary… ultra chic cocktails – comp’d)?  Count a Diva in!

As if you need to be told twice to gallavant around in your new metallic mini from your fave designer’s fall collection.  So come equipped with stilettos and your most cocktail-friendly femmes.   Thomas Merolla will be your host, and drinks are on the house from 10-11:00pm.  This week’s secret ingredient?  Lychee.  Talk about yum.  That’s just how it’s done at Betsey Hotel’s B Bar.   (more…)

Miami Yoga Rolls Out The Fred Carpet For A Diva, the Best Deal ever

Better posture.  Increased flexibility and strength.  A heightened sense of calm and concentration.

Divas don’t mess around – they do yoga.

It’s not often, however, that Divas can learn from Fred Busch himself.  London, Peru… we’d say he’s off galavanting, but “sharing the light’ might be more apt.  (He’s Director of Yogashala Teacher Training in both places.) (more…)
