This year, I had the pleasure of kicking off Miami Art Week with a cocktail party at my home. I can’t think of of a better way to start the week than with an evening with friends. What really made the night special was the incredible mix of people. The diversity of everyone who joined me this evening was incredible.

We had signature cocktails based on the different places I’ve called home (London, Miami, Mexico and Cuba); an incredible charcuterie montage by chef Ashley (first time we use my kitchen for a party as it’s usually back of house for me!); and music by the very talented The Glades. Towards the end of the evening, the dining room became The Chocolate Room and we served local artisanal chocolates flavoured with champagne, rum, and tequila.

I found copper vases in Mexico and surrounded them with tall taper beeswax candles that filled the air with a soft scent. Little boxes in my Ambia wallpaper pattern held cookies by a local bakery.
