Jill Zarin’s 4th Annual Luxury Luncheon benefits The Eric Trump Foundation/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
It’s safe to say that former Real Housewives of New York Jill Zarin knows how to throw a party. Jill Zarin and husband Bobby Zarin opened their Southampton estate, fit for a star-studded luxury-shopping luncheon. Jill invited many of her close friends and family including Real Housewives Cynthia Bailey (Atlanta), Kathy Wakile (New Jersey) Vicki Gunvalson (The OC) to Experience Nirvana. This year had a few unexpected surprises. Upon entering, attendees were given a “golden ticket” where one lucky winner would gain access to Jill’s extravagant closet. The one lucky guest would win over $30,000 worth of items from brands including Marchesa and Palaso Aspen.
Guests mixed and mingled while sipping rosé provided by Studio Wines Boisset and cocktails by Blue Ice vodka. In between sipping on their favorite drinks many noshed on cuisine specially curated by celebrity Chef Adam Banks. Since this was partially an outdoor event, guests escaped the excessive summer heat in the Zarin Fabrics poolside cabana and lounge and also cooled off when an Iguana Yachts watercraft drove guests around Shinnecock bay.
If you were worried about your make-up melting away or chipping your nails, in true Jill Zarin fashion she provided a beauty bar for guests. Services featuring mini manicures from Pop of Color, hair braiding hosted by rpzl, and brow touch-ups by Sania’s Brow Bar, made sure ladies looked their best. The “beauty bar” also featured swag including Radha Beauty, Kiss USA, Ageless La Cure, Cane +Austin, Clio/Mumsie, Poo-Pourri, and personalized bags from GiGi New York .
