When I say hurricanes can't stop us in Miami...it really is true! On Wednesday, August 24th, the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders hit the catwalk inside LIV Nightclub at the Fontainebleau to unveil their 2012 swimsuit calendar.

Dressing up for a themed party is always a good thing! On Saturday, August 6th, Nick D'Annunzio [pictured on the right], Partner of Tara Ink , celebrated his birthday at Cafeina Wynwood Lounge with a full blown cowboy themed party that included bull rides, haystacks and harlots. In lieu of gifts, guests were given the opportunity to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida . This is one of my favorite local charities so make sure you check out their website to learn about the organization's mission. During last night's festivities, I definitely ran into familiar faces like Miami's hottest diva, Miss Elaine Lancaster (pictured on the left). Did I mention I had the chance to ride the mechanical bull at the party? It was my first time riding a bull and it was super fun. One word of advice : whatever you do...always hold on tight! Cheers to a fabulous party and to all the beautiful people who came out to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Florid

Sazoneros! Have you missed me? After covering this year's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami, I decided to take a small hiatus. I'm officially back and I've been sifting through all of Miami's coolest upcoming events for you. What did I discover? August is kind of a big deal in Miami's social calendar. Today is the first day of Miami Spice and lets not forget that Miami Spa Month runs till August 31st. What is everyone buzzing about lately? I keep hearing positive reviews for Cirque Eloize iD which is currently being performed at the Adrienne Arsht Center . Created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize iD will take you on a fun journey through the heart of a city. The performance features acrobats, break dancers, contortionists and a fearless stunt biker. Every cirque show I've attended is truly breathtaking so make sure you check out this modern-day circus.
