Crossing for the Cure Documentary Film
unveiled at Victory Party

Paddlers and Sponsors including Hamilton Jewelers Raised over $130,000 for local Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

A documentary video produced by ———was unveiled during Crossing for A Cure’s Victory party on Saturday July 15th. at E.R. Bradley’s Saloon.  The short film showcases  the incredible story of 30 men and women participating in the 90 mile paddle crossing, from Bimini to the Florida mainland.   With the help of sponsors, this year’s crossing raised over $130,000 for Pipers Angels Foundation.

The Victory Party

The West Palm Beach waterfront hummed with live Reggae music and a Tito’s Vodka luge as part of the appreciation shown to Crossing Crusaders & Piper’s Angels.  Always working the microphone to call out supporters and paddlers, Travis Suit said the evening was a sweet reward and an opportunity to share the wonderful good wishes shown to his daughter Piper.  For those who don’t already know, Travis’s daughter Piper was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was four years old. Travis created The Crossing for a Cure in order to raise awareness of the healing benefits of salt air for CF patients and to raise funds for the Piper’s Angels Foundation.  

 

Support Pipers Angels

Recognizing that not everyone is prepared to endure the rigors of the Crossing, Hamilton Jewelers launched a new, lasting way to support the Piper’s Angels Foundation by creating a hand engraved charm which can be worn as a bracelet or a necklace.  They presented the first charm bracelet to Piper who was proud to show off the very wearable design, while her Dad, Travis wear’s it on a rubber cord around his neck.  The stunning pieces have become quite the collectible for supporters of the Piper’s Angels Foundation.

EMILIO PUCCI Spring/Summer Sale–

I’m one of those who wait with bated breath for the end of May…  Not only because it means my summer European getaway is around the corner, but also because I am one of the lucky ones who get ‘that call’… Julie from EMILIO PUCCI on Worth Avenue knows I drool every time I walk by the boutique, praying that come May, those preferred pieces will be there.

EMILIO PUCCI‘s annual summer sale (50% off 2016 Spring and Summer)  is officially happening as I write this!  I’ve gone twice and, yes, I feel a little guilty, but I just couldn’t resist…

36779978UR_13_fMy favorites:  The cropped bell bottoms in royal blue or mosaic pattern featured above in cotton (very retro! I opted for the mosaic after much deliberation with every client who walked in); scalloped printed shorts which make your thighs look slim; fabulous one-pieces (I’ve decided to go with one pieces these days…); the one thing I 34612461AA_13_fLOVED and didn’t get– a whimsical chiffon dress which could do double duty as summer night and formal wear.

 

I’ve since repacked my suitcase for a long weekend birthday celebration in St. Barth’s this week, My suitcase is more colorful and I am so much happier!!

 

This particular collection is not only for PUCCI-lovers– but it is for those who appreciate fashion, good taste and value, and definitely for those of us who remember certain icons… Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and embrace that bit of nostalgia…

36819823QO_13_f
I don’t have enough space here to tell you about their fabulous beach bags, patterned espadrilles and screaming fashion sandals…  you have to witness for yourselves!

I’ll make it easy for you.. call Julie at 655 7070
