I've recently been having some problems with a friend due to her drinking issues.  It started about a year ago when I noticed her getting a bit wasted at dinner parties. She would slur her words and talk about stuff that well, I don't think should be spoken about at...

The reason I love going to dinner parties is because that's where conversations happen. And because said conversations are the essence of my columns, I more or less never get bombed, and I mostly remember what's talked about.

However, the morning after the latest dinner party I didn't recall...

When you arrive on the red carpet in the role of a reporter you never know exactly what's going to go down. It's either totally marvelous or a complete and utter disaster. In the case of Olivier Martinez at the opening of his new restaurant Villa Azur in...

One of the reasons I don't love covering events at fancy places like the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach is because I hate valet parking. It's that simple. Besides waiting for my car, I just feel paying 24 dollars for parking is a bit excessive. Plus, hello, that's the cost of...

It's 11 pm at the Shelborne Hotel, the newest home of South Beach's best weeknight soiree. Not only because of its insane renovation, but because it's now the spot Miami's famed Tuesday night party hosts Alan Roth and Tommy and Michelle Pooch -- Miami's ultimate party couple -- call home....

I'd like to thank my friends, family (especially my mom) and members of the Academy. Oh, wait. Wrong speech. No, seriously. My inaugural column for 'Michael In the City' was really a big hit. I never had so many Facebook comments, Tweets, text messages and BBM's from everyone. And I...

When I was asked to be a blogger for the Huffington Post Miami I was, as any writer would be, elated. That's because Miami is in my soul. In my apartment are pictures of South Beach, back in the 1950s, when my grandparents and my mother used to dance in...

As Art Basel Miami Beach celebrated its 10th anniversary as the world's most prominent art fair -- something the art world has been championing since its inception -- it was clear that welcoming the double digits also meant welcoming new patrons, one of whom nearly had a gallery owner's black...

Sure, it's the 10th edition of Art Basel and it's very important. I mean, very. The art mavens of the world are on pins and needles hoping their millions and millions of dollars of art arrive in one piece in Miami, where the best, biggest and brightest names of the...

For the past two months I have been having a full on affair with the father of a daughter at my school. I know, this is like a cardinal sin, literally, considering it's an all girl's Catholic school. The affair started because he is a divorced, stay-at-home dad who dabbles...

I recently have been, as I like to say, "hitting the town" in my efforts to vamp up my single life. And I've gone to many dinner parties where friends have wanted to set me up with potential suitors. In a majority of occasions, these men don't ask me for...

I'm a successful 35-year-old woman who has done very well with my life. I have all the material things I need. A ton of Louboutin shoes, an amazing wardrobe, more Luis Vuitton bags than I know what to do with and a gorgeous apartment. I also have a great set...

I have recently lost a lot of weight, 140 pounds actually, though I am still on the plus size. I'm about a size 16 and ready, for the first time in a long time, to hit the beach. I want to ditch my bathing suits with a skirt that I...

I'm addicted to watching "Pregnant In Heels." I think the show is hysterical. And although I have the financial means to be a spend thrift on my wardrobe, I don't feel the need nor want to break any banks with a pregnancy wardrobe. I'm expecting my third child and I...

I think watching the Royal wedding threw me into a manic wedding moment and I need your help. I have five friends getting married in the next two months and I have less than five hundred dollars to buy some dresses and I'm really not a snob but I prefer...

I just graduated with my master's degree and I am nearly flat broke after buying new clothes for the office. Now I need some stylish fun key pieces for spring that I can sport on the weekend. I have never been one for buying "knockoffs" but I am beginning to...

I am a recent divorcee and to say the least, I have been left with not much. I came home one day and found myself the victim of a cliché. My husband was leaving me for a younger girl and leaving me with nothing but my personal accessories and a...

I don't usually read advice columns, but I saw your column on Valentine's Day and really liked the advice you gave the guy that didn't want to give his girlfriend red roses. I'm hoping you can give me some real advice. I met a girl that I really like but...

I find Valentines Day to be tedious and even when I was in a relationship I didn't do anything special to celebrate. Now that I am single, forget about it. However, all my single girlfriends want me to join them on the town. I am so over it and I...

At the beginning of this year I had made a resolution not to be a shop-a-holic. It's been really tough especially with all the Spring collections coming out. Last year I spent over $100,000 on shoes and bags alone. This year I swore I would cut it down to $50,000....
