The 2024 American Cancer Society Evening of Hope Miami Gala took place on Saturday, November 16 at the J.W. Marriott Marquis. Miami’s most compassionate and glamorous gathered in a shared mission: to end cancer for everyone, everywhere.

Event Chair Karen Ford, Vice Chair Nikki F. Upshaw, and Honorary Chair Gabriela B. Ibarra turned the Grand Ballroom into a jet-setting paradise where guests “traveled” to global destinations while sipping Bacardi and Southern Glazer’s finest. Guests dined on filet mignon and sipped top-shelf cocktails. The energy in the gorgeous ballroom was off the charts.

Veteran journalist Laurie Jennings kicked things off with charm, handing the mic to the event’s powerhouse leadership team to thank the sponsors and partners who made it all possible. Then came ACS Southeast Florida Executive Director Joan Gonzalez, who presented the inaugural Hope Awards to  Remedios Diaz-Oliver and Lilliam Machado for over 30 years of fundraising brilliance.

The live auction, hosted by a spirited Megan McRoberts, had guests vying for everything from all-inclusive cruises to once-in-a-lifetime experiences like a ride on the Goodyear Blimp or VIP suites for the Usher concert.

But the heart of the evening came when Casey Liening, a cancer thriver battling metastatic breast cancer, took the stage. Her story moved the room to tears and action, as hundreds raised their paddles during the Mission Moment to fund ACS’s life-changing work.

As if the night couldn’t soar higher, ACS Executive VP Kimberly Jackson honored NBA legend Alonzo Mourning with the 2024 ACS Courage Award, recognizing his battle with prostate cancer and advocacy for health awareness. His words left the room inspired.

And then—cue the confetti cannons. The final total raised was revealed, a whopping $750,626, sending guests into celebration mode as the dance floor ignited. Partygoers danced until the early hours of the morning.

It was an unforgettable evening of elegance, impact and undeniable hope. For more information contact or to make a donation visit miami.acsgala.org.

The Harbour Club’s grand opening wasn’t just an event; it was the event, a feast that put “decadent” to shame. Miami’s swankiest and sparkliest slipped into Sunset Harbour to christen this posh new playground for global glitterati, where caviar flowed, truffle grated, and sushi pirouetted its way across marble platters. From two cheese wheels brimming with risotto and pasta (hello, truffle blizzard!) to sliders and tartare that’d make any gourmand weak at the knees, it was a culinary carnival with more bites than a foodie’s fever dream. Everything circulated at a perfect pace, a dance of flavors and textures, each bite more irresistible than the last.

Live music was the evening’s heartbeat: a violinist, saxophonist and a crew of vocalists dazzled the crowd, setting a scene straight out of a Bond movie. Meanwhile, over in the Speakeasy, a DJ spun everyone’s favorites, and suddenly, “one more drink” turned into “just one more dance.” The cocktails weren’t just poured-they were conjured. Four signature creations incorporated top-shelf elixirs (think 1942), had guests raising their glasses; each drink an invitation to linger a little longer and savor the magic of the night.

Now, let’s talk spaces. The Harbour Club, brainchild of hospitality luminary James Julius, blends old-school London charm with Miami’s sultry edge. At the forefront, a’Riva, the Italian Mediterranean restaurant, which is open to the public by reservation only, offers seasonal Italian favorites such as  Meatballs Angelina, passed down from Julius’ family, parmesan, and Eggplant Milanese with feta and a Caesar salad so good it should be illegal. It’s refined yet unpretentious, with al fresco seating, lush greenery, and a sleek bar, a’Riva evokes effortless glamour and coastal charm.

Beyond a’Riva, members slip into the Palm Room, a sultry lounge hidden behind walls adorned with bespoke palm prints, a space that’s mysterious, dimly-lit and energetic, complete with a secret entrance. This sultry, intimate oasis combines the charm of a tropical hideaway with the sophistication of a private club. The cocktail menu offers a curated selection of drinks and light bites.

Upstairs, Nikai at Harbour Club is where things get exclusive, a Japanese haven where wagyu, toro toasts, and fresh fish flown in from Japan elevate each bite. Signature dishes include Wagyu and truffle crispy rice, wasabi Caesar salad with house-made nori chips, toro toasts, and an extensive selection of wine, sake, and Japanese whiskey.

Design-wise, every corner is a scene-stealer. YODEZEEN transformed the Harbour Club into a feast for the eyes, weaving British opulence with Miami cool. Soft whites and sandy tones ground a’Riva’s beachy vibe, while the Palm Room goes bold with dark walnut, deep green velvet, and touches of gold. Upstairs at Nikai, vibrant reds and blues dance under custom lighting, making the whole room feel like a high-energy gallery. Even the bathrooms are dressed to impress, featuring custom wallpaper and rare marble- making a bathroom selfie irresistible.

Harbour Club’s membership is as exclusive as they come, with Classic, Under 30, and Lifetime options that grant access to not only the clubs but also to a full calendar of ultra-luxe events. Think intimate chef dinners, wellness workshops, and pop-up dining experiences—all perfectly tailored for those who like their social scenes with a side of exclusivity.

So, here’s the scoop: Harbour Club isn’t just another hotspot. It’s a private paradise where the scene-makers and tastemakers come to revel, network, and indulge. And if the grand opening is any hint, Miami’s got a new star, and it’s a showstopper.

From classic pepperoni to truffle mushroom cream and pickled jalapeños, this is pizza, but with a gourmet twist.

Emmy Squared serves two sizes—the signature 8×10-inch pie and the newly introduced 10×14-inch version, because who doesn’t want more pizza? And don’t forget about Emmy Hour (Mon-Fri, 3–6 pm), where you can score specials on food, beer, wine, and cocktails.

Emmy Squared has something for everyone: gluten-free, vegan-friendly dishes, hearty sandwiches, refreshing salads, and shareable apps. Don’t miss the Le Big Matt burger, served on a pretzel bun and loaded with cheese, Sammy sauce, pickles, and greens. Add some crispy waffle fries on the side, and you’ve got the perfect meal.

What truly sets Emmy Squared Coral Gables apart, though, is the full-service bar. Creative cocktails and twists on classics are the perfect pairing for the vibrant food menu. Whether you’re sipping on a refreshing margarita or indulging in a bold bourbon concoction, the bar is your spot to unwind after a day of shopping or kick off a fabulous night out.

With its stylish décor, welcoming atmosphere, and mouth-watering menu, Emmy Squared is sure to become Coral Gables’ go-to destination for delicious food, drinks, and an unforgettable vibe. Head to Emmy’s for pizza perfection!

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.
