As it Happens in Miami



The most exciting restaurant in Miami
Miami had Art Basel Miami Beach, then Cesar Pelli's Performing arts building, now it has Soho Beach House. The private club opened a couple of weeks ago in Miami Beach and -thank God! -  it is apparently not for the cheezy. Gorgeous decoration, super-stylish crowd and impeccable service (at the restaurant that is - don't expect good manners from the 'member's only' staff unless you are one). The vibe was exciting, people seemed ready to bring on the night after dinner. Spotted at Cecconi's restaurant, were the two most distinguished women in Miami: Ines Rivero, model, flocked by a group of young men who hung on her every word, and Silvia Tcherassi, fashion designer, who's eye was fixed for a moment by my blue-and-gold embroidered silk long sleeved dress, by Juicy Couture. A happy night.

Miami tiene un restaurant nuevo dentro de un club privado llamado Soho Beach House. La decoracion es espectacular, la gente super estilosa y el servicio es superior. La onda del lugar es bastante sofisticada, para variar, y lleno de energia. En el restaurant, Cecconi's, estaban las dos mujeres mas distinguidas de Miami, la modelo Ines Rivero, rodeada de hombres, y la disenadora de moda Silvia Tcherassi, quien parecio repararse en mi vestido de seda con bordados dorados y mangas largas. Yo, feliz.



Love the lighting, the old green and white calcareous floor tiles...

The gorgeous decoration ruling the foyer and Cecconi's restaurant. The lighting is superb throughout, creating more of an attractive atmosphere than there is already


Maria Ines Rivero graces Miami
The Argentinian international model Ines Rivero moved from hectic Manhattan to Miami several years ago to raise her young daughter. We both started our fashion careers in Buenos Aires at the same time, in Para Ti magazine atEditorial Atlantida. Who would have thought that after all these years we would both be living in Miami.

La modelo argentina Maria Ines Rivero se mudo hace unos anos de Manhattan a Miami para criar a su hija. Pensar que las dos empezamos en moda al mismo tiempo en Buenos Aires, las dos en Para Ti, Editorial Atlantida. Quien hubiera dicho que tambien las dos ibamos a vivir en Miami.

Beautiful Birthdays
One of the loveliest birthdays was Julito Bosco's 3rd birthday party, held at the Village Green in Key Biscayne this past month. It was a beautifully simple fire engine-themed affair. There were tea sandwiches, goody bags and the cake, wonderfully arranged on a table. Hanging from the tree were balloons and a pinata. The mother, Gabriela Benaroum('Gabrielle' or 'Coco' as we ex-Vogue friends like to call her, because in case you haven't guessed yet she is the chicest girl - one day I'll tell you more about her) and her equally chic mom -the grandmother! did a great job: they set a standard for a low key, old-fashioned birthday party, held for close friends and her creme de la creme family.

Gabriela Benaroum festejo el cumpleanos de su hijo Julito Bosco en el Village Green de Key Biscayne, demostrando que los cumpleanos mas calidos a veces son los mas simples, compartido con amigos cercanos y la familia. La mesa fue puesta con mucha gracia y discrecion, adornada con globos y una pinata colgada del arbol. 


Little Lucca, eldest son of Jessica de Linares, set an example for all of us for his birthday party. He asked his friends to donate money to the children of flood-stricken Pakistan instead of giving him presents. His brother had done the same for the children in Haiti, during the earthquake relief. There were games and activities galore in their picturesque garden, and a beading center for girls and boys. Surely, a birthday for everyone to remember for years to come.

Lucca, el hijo mayor de Jessica de Linares, dio a todos el ejemplo en su cumpleanos pidiendo que en vez de regalos, hagamos una donacion para los chicos de Pakistan. Su hermano habia hecho lo mismo en su cumple, el ayudo a los chicos de Haiti. Seguramente sera un festejo que muchos recordaran en el tiempo.
