As with every year, FUNKSHION – Fashion Week Miami Beach, will fuse music and fashion like no other city in the world could do, in MIAMI STYLE!

South Beach is usually known for its vibrant and exciting night-life, the hottest clubs and the most beautiful people. On any given night you will find groups of people celebrating a myriad of different special occasions, accomplishments, anniversary dates and the common denominator in all these celebrations is always champagne. A celebration is never complete without hearing the unique popping of a cork from a champagne bottle. It lifts our spirits just by hearing it and puts a smile on our face when we drink it and Taittinger Champagne has been there celebrating with us since 1734.

During the Miami International Film Festival, Miami becomes host to some of the best international actors, directors and filmmakers from around the world. For a brief moment we become the Mecca for the film industry and every night we can attend a celebrity filled red carpet premiere or catch a glimpse of some of the best international films we wouldn’t ordinarily get a chance to see. One of these rare moments occurred this week where we had the opportunity to meet and talk with Angie Cepeda. This Colombian born actress has graced countless films throughout Latin America, Spain and “Love for Rent” in the U.S. Now Angie Cepeda is in Miami for the U.S. release of her latest project “With or Without Love” (“Una Hora Mas En Canarias”).

What started out as a three-day event with less than 10 boats in 1927, now attracts more than 200 sailors each year from some 23 countries and the attention of international media.

Lincoln Road has long been known to grace countless celebrities but last night’s South Beach premier of “Battle LA” was a star-studded evening of red carpet fun and action.

On Thursday night, the stars shined on Colombostile’s “Creativity Without Boundaries” soiree.

The evening was a combination of Italy meets Asia and all the festivities benefit Joshua’s Heart Foundation and In Dogs We Trust.

This past weekend The Collection held an exclusive event extended solely to collectors of rare automobiles and Haute Living Magazine. The Collection brought in and unveiled the new 911 Porsche Speedster inspired from the 1953 classic Speedster. The Exclusive & Tequipment division of Porsche sent their factory representative Michael Siegloch from Germany to tell us about the highlights and features that set the 2011 911 Speedster apart from all other 911 models. As Michael began describing the 911 Speedster, I realized this is the latest version of the nostalgic Speedster from 1953 that most Americans relate to those black and white images we see of James Dean in Rebel with Without a Cause.
