Jon Secada will be performing songs from his new CD, Elaine Lancaster will DJ and Emerson Newton-John, the founder of Full Speed To A Cure, will round out the entertainment.  General admission tickets cost $250 for an open bar, full dinner, and Grammy award winning entertainment.

Loren Ridinger

Thursday night, JR and Loren Ridinger opened up their North Bay Road estate, Casa De Los Suenos, for the premier of Loren Ridinger’s stunning jewelry collection.  The trunk show showcased the jewelry for the first time since its creation.  The event featured a fun yet sophisticated gathering of friends of the Ridingers, many of whom happen to be celebrities, who have been fans of the line even before the trunk show and have been wearing and promoting it. Some fans of Loren jewels (pronounced as in Sophia Loren) include:  Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, the Kardashians, Paulina Rubio, Alejandro Sanz, Marc Anthony, and Joel Madden to name a few.  According to Loren Ridinger, “The collection was made from a desire to give someone a way to wear beautiful jewels for anytime of day and includes pieces that can be worn with casual or formal clothing.  My pieces are simple yet bold designs that are gorgeous! It’s kind of exploded before I got a chance to show it!” Read the rest here »
