As we stepped onto the sandy shores of the stylish Joia Beach, we were delighted by all of the beautifully branded Viktor&Rolf umbrellas and decor in honor of the brand’s unveiling of its latest olfactory masterpiece: Flowerbomb Tiger Lily. The scene was set like a page out of a summer romance novel—an exclusive, private party under the setting Miami sun, where the air was filled with the scent of tiger lilies- which were ever present- on the displays, bars and cocktail tables.

The guest list included influencers: Batsheva Haart, Valerie Domínguez, Alejandra Divo, Lisa Opie, Paula Macher, Christie Ferrari, and Moira Tumas, who mingled, and toasted to the new takeover, while sampling the fragrances and taking plenty of insta-worthy photos. 

As we marveled at the Miami skyline at dusk, while swinging on rope swings by the ocean, we could sense the buzz of the stylish crowd, as they sipped signature cocktails and sampled the Flowerbomb and Spicebomb collections; their senses alight with the rich, floral, and spicy notes. 

Cocktails flowed freely, each one as beautifully crafted as the fragrances themselves. And then, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the music took over. Puerto Rican singer RaiNao serenaded us with her sultry voice, while Coco&Breezy spun beats that kept everyone dancing well into the night.

Fortunately, the Flowerbomb Tiger Lily Beach Club pop-up will continue through August 18th.

Guests will have a chance to lounge by the water, cocktail in hand, while enjoying the scents of tiger lily wafting through the air at this tropical oasis right in the heart of Miami. Be sure to visit to sample the full Flowerbomb collection, and shop to your heart’s content.

We are sure you’ll agree: Flowerbomb Tiger Lily isn’t just a perfume, it’s the scent of summer in a bottle. 

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in the Florida Keys, look no further than the newly re-opened Papa Joe’s Waterfront in Islamorada. Renowned for its breathtaking sunset views, we’re talking the sun melting into the ocean, Papa Joe’s offers an ideal spot to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of the area.

The menu is a delightful celebration of fresh seafood and local ingredients, and an array of signature cocktails, each crafted to enhance your dining experience while you take in the picturesque scenery of the waterfront property.

Papa Joe’s offers a distinctive menu that showcases both local seafood and premium meats. Highlights include: Not Yo Average Tuna Nachos, Creekstone Farms Churrasco and the Plantain Crusted Chicken. The Everglades Style Triple Tail was fresh and expertly prepared with unique ingredients.

These dishes, combined with signature cocktails such as the PJ’s Sunset, Goldrush and Papa’s Pain Pillar and the stunning sunset views, make Papa Joe’s a standout dining destination in the Florida Keys.

Papa Joe’s is not just about the food and views; it’s also about history and community. Owned by Captain Charles Hertel, who has deep roots in the area, the property has been transformed from its original incarnation as Fowler’s Fish Camp, established in 1938. Charles, inspired by his parents George and Dorothy Hertel—founders of the Islamorada Fish Company—has revived this historic property with the help of partners Bob Lee and Mica Perry. Together, they’ve created a modern destination that honors the rich history of the Florida Keys.

Whether you’re visiting for the food, stunning sunsets, or the charming history, Papa Joe’s Waterfront promises a memorable dining experience in a truly stunning location.

From the moment I received the adorable custom Cîroc rolling suitcase, complete with a bright yellow passport book and a bottle of Cîroc’s fabulous new Limonata vodka, I knew we were in for something special. It was more than just an invitation; it was a promise of an unforgettable evening.

Arriving at the dock to board the SeaFair mega yacht, the air was thick with anticipation and the scent of citrus. Every detail had been meticulously planned, from the golden glow of the lemon-themed, summery decor that exuded effortless elegance, to the stylish crowd, it felt like stepping into a scene from a postcard—the kind that makes you wish summer would last forever.

Onboard, guests sipped on refreshing cocktails, the Limonata vodka adding a zesty twist to creative cocktails. Conversations flowed as easily as the drinks, with laughter punctuating the warm night air. The Cîroc team had outdone themselves, turning a simple product launch into a night of magic and memories.

In celebration of the summer solstice, the party’s theme was “Escape with Flavor” for a spectacular evening. The luxurious SeaFair which departed downtown Miami in the late afternoon, provided the perfect backdrop for the first official sunset of summer.

Stylish guests were treated to an array of expertly crafted Limonata cocktails that highlighted the refreshing citrus notes of Cîroc Limonata. The food options included gourmet  bites and a lavish buffet. The sun-soaked deck was the ideal setting for guests to relax, mingle, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

As the sun began to set, the vibe became electric, with top DJs spinning high-energy sets, and Afro-global pop sensation, Amaarae’s live performance. Her unique blend of Afro-pop rhythms and soulful melodies captivated the audience, turning the party into an unforgettable summer escape. 

There’s nothing quite like viewing the Miami skyline from the water while sipping fabulous cocktails and dancing to great music- as day turns into night. 

After the yacht party, guests were shuttled via luxury coach to 1-800-Lucky in Wynwood for an after-party that lasted into the wee hours. Cîroc sure knows how to throw a summer party. Every sip of those vibrant Limonata cocktails hit just right, and the yacht deck was the perfect hangout spot to soak up the sun, make new friends, and feel the festive buzz.

As I raised my glass, toasting to the start of summer, I couldn’t help but think that sometimes, it’s the little things—the thoughtful touches, the attention to detail—that turn an ordinary event into an extraordinary experience. Cheers to Cîroc for capturing the essence of summer in a bottle and reminding us of the many reasons why summer is our favorite season.
