Gabrielle Union and Neon Hitch celebrate Hotel Noir with Grey Goose

Who knows how to throw an amazing party? Grey Goose does! And you guys know I go to SO many that I can safely say their Hotel Noir Bash on Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 was off the chain! With Gabrielle Union, who rocked a mustard-colored Rag & Bone dress, served as host for the evening alongside special guest Neon Hitch at the FDR at Delano.

Not only was Gabrielle stunning and as sweet-as-can-be, but she happily supported boyfriend Dwyane Wade and his Miami Heat who just so happened to win last night!

Hotel Noir is an experiential event set up to bring to life the bold, rich and sensual new flavor from GREY GOOSE Vodka – Cherry Noir. Grey Goose Brand Master was on hand to recommend only the best cocktails to Miami elite and celebrities alike including, Travis McCoy, DJ Irie, Fabian & Martina Basabe, FOX 7’s Belkys Nerey, John Lin, Jeff Morr, Yaniv Cohen, Jason Clarke, Jillian Jacobson, and Tracey Mourning who danced the night away to sets by DJ Kiss and DJ M.O.S.

Gabrielle Union makes a splash in Miami

While most of the rest of the world is covering up due to cold weather, those of us in South Florida are enjoying the 70+ degree temperatures! Spotted earlier today (December 22nd, 2011) actress Gabrielle Union made a splash in a sexy, orange bikini on South Beach, Florida surrounded by friends.

The 39-year-old (!) beauty has been spending a lot of time in the Sunshine State since she started dating Miami Heat shooting guard Dwayne Wade. I bumped into her during the Vogue/Missoni party at Art Basel and she is just fabulous! I’m shocked to see she is turning 40 next fall!

Even though the Heat lost last night 104-100, consider it only practice for the opener taking place against the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day.

I bet Ms. Union will be cheering right along with us!

Gabrielle Union and La La Vazquez enjoyed an ‘Evening in Vogue’

Gabrielle Union, La La Vazquez, & Loren Ridinger

What better way to wrap up Art Basel than a breathtaking runway event featuring Missoni’s Spring 2012 collection?! After a pretty hectic week, I had the pleasure to attend the ‘Evenings in Vogue’ event hosted by Loren Ridinger and Jeffrey Kalinsky on Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 at the breathtaking Ridinger Estate, Casa de Sueños in Miami Beach, Florida.

Stars in attendance included Gabrielle Union (sans boyfriend Dwayne Wade), La La Vazquez (in Missoni), Nicki and Paris Hilton, Burn Notice and The Tudors star Gabrielle Anwar, Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh, Housewives of Miami star Lea Black, and the always beautiful Katrina Campins (in a Nicole Miller gown).

Speaking of Katrina who enjoyed a successful stint on The Apprentice and Miami Social, confessed she has some amazing things coming up so stay tuned for the details!

I had the pleasure to sit directly behind Vittorio Missoni who told me that the inspiration for the line came from watching flamencos. Indeed the delicious hues of blues and yellows on the fringed and ruffled pieces were evocative of a sensual night of dancing in Spain.

The property set the scene beautifully for an event that hosted over 600 people, and the weather couldn’t have been any better. Not to mention how amazingly humble and down-to-Earth both Vittorio and Angela Missoni were!

My only complaint? I somehow missed out on getting the fabulous gift bag! :(

Gabrielle Union shows love for Miami Heat in Wade County

Gabrielle Union was spotted showing off her curves in a Miami Heat bikini while spending the day with boyfriend Dwyane Wade and his two boys Zion and Zaire on Saturday, September 3rd, 2011. Wade, one of the Heat’s most valuable players, has been dating the Cadillac Records actress since at least 2008.

You gotta love how supportive Gabrielle is of Wade’s team, she is rockin’ the Heat’s fiyah on both the top and bottom of her swim suit. Not to be outdone, Dwyane showed some love to the New York Yankees on his visor!

Zion and Zaire are the 29-year-old’s children from his marriage to Siohvaughn Funches, which ended in 2007.
