They had us at “chic shopping party” but then when we heard “proceeds benefitting our favorite charity, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)” we’re in love. So we’ll be at Fashion Island’s Passport to Luxury Event Thursday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. hosted by Riviera magazine.
The evening includes exclusive in-store events, new fall fashions, elegant gifts and giveaways and delicious food. Participating stores include American Rag Cie, Bloomingdale’s, Garys, Kate Spade, Neiman Marcus, Room Service, Traditional Jewelers, Trina Turk, True Religion and more.
And some of our favorite restaurants are on board too: California Pizza Kitchen, Canaletto Ristorante Veneto, Daily Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Mariposa at Neiman Marcus.
JDRF will receive 20% of sales during the event, plus proceeds from a special grand prize opportunity drawing. To RSVP or for more information, please call 714.913.4697.
