On Thursday, 12/2, Vera Wang raised a glass of her new prosecco, Vera Wang PARTY, to her friend and fashion & art icon, Rebecca Moses in celebration of the opening of her new solo Miami exhibition Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope. Inside the walls of Ralph Pucci International, attendees including editor in chief of ELLE Decor Asad Syrkett, Donna Karan, Chris Lavish, Katya Tolstova and many more sipped on Vera Wang PARTY throughout the evening while enjoying music by Danilo de la Torre (adoradrag).
As guests entered the exhibit, in front of Moses’ impressive larger-than-life murals, they were greeted by an Italian ice cart for the debut of the new delightfully delicious premium ice cream collaboration between Vera Wang PARTY prosecco and Aubi & Ramsa – The Hibiscus Bellini Sorbet. Available for a limited time only HERE, this prosecco-infused treat boasts notes of hibiscus and rosehips for spoonfuls of well-balanced flavor with just a touch of sweetness.
Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope features 200 female portraits reflecting hope, passion, determination and the desire to stay true to one’s own voice even in the most challenging of times. The exhibit, which will be on display through December 9th, expands Moses’ signature style: connecting art and fashion. It is a world of fashionable delights, colorful dreams, bold patterns, and stylish environments. Women holding their heads up high, putting on their best to champion themselves with dignity. There is no standard of beauty. Each remarkable woman is her own champion.

The embodiment of luxury, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, has recently embarked on an extensive, multimillion-dollar re-imagination to its social spaces, on the heels of its 8th anniversary. It comes as no surprise that this oceanside retreat, which offers a quintessential, modern Palm Beach experience, has earned the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award for six consecutive years. Situated on seven pristine oceanfront acres, among the most beautiful stretch of beach in Palm Beach, the resort features an underwater paradise- with snorkeling steps from the shore thanks to a huge coral reef which is home to thousands of colorful tropical fish, an added bonus to the relaxed glamour that is the ethos of Eau Palm Beach. The resort combines oceanfront luxury with whimsical decor by Jonathan Adler, along with impeccable service and unexpected experiences, including al fresco dining at Breeze Ocean Kitchen, the island’s only oceanfront beach restaurant. Guests also have access to two oceanfront pools, tennis courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center and world-class spa.
The Bazaar by Jose Andrés
September heralds the end of summer and the beginning of football season, cozy evenings and PSLs. But it also affords foodies the opportunity to experience the menus at some of Miami’s top restaurants at a fraction of the cost thanks to Miami Spice. The swanky SLS hotel on Miami Beach currently offers the Miami Spice menu at its two top tier restaurants- The Bazaar by Jose Andres and Katsuya. Both offer the Miami Spice menu Sunday-Thursday evenings for just $42, exclusive of tax and gratuity.
The Bazaar by Jose Andres
From the moment you enter the expansive dining room at The Bazaar- you know you’re in for a special treat. Helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef José Andrés, the restaurant offers a vibrant mix of sophisticated cuisine and a playful indoor-outdoor space designed by Philippe Starck.
As part of the Miami Spice promotion, diners can mix and match from an array of special five-course menus. Guests can choose between favorites like salmon roe “Bagels and Lox,” yucca “churros,” Cuban coffee-rubbed churrasco with passion fruit, and lots more. In essence, two guests dining together have the opportunity to experience ten of Andres’ masterful dishes. Our favorites included the chicken croquetas- a bit of Spain in every bite and the Gazpacho Patricia, (named after its creator, who happens to be Andres’ wife); the best we’ve tasted this side of the Atlantic. Not to be missed are the Pisto, the Brussels Sprouts or the Traditional Flan.
