Life with Loren – 2009 Women of Substance and Style

March 9th // 4 Comments

In addition to the spectacular weather we had over the weekend, I took part in the 2009 Women of Substance and Style awards ceremony. It was unbelievable, with over 2,000 people (JR, Amber and Duane included) in attendance! Besides receiving this award (which I was extremely excited about), Bal Harbour Shops was transformed into a complete fantasy show, with dancers, shows and exceptional food!

It was like I was at a concert — where I was one of the performers! While I wasn’t actually performing, The Pointer Sisters and Seal did as well — and they were nothing short of amazing!

Life with Loren – Ringing in 2009

January 2nd // Comment Here

In a split second, the holidays were here and then gone. I really hope that everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve ringing in 2009! Marc, Maria, JR and I rang in the new year in the Big Apple, with a few close friends in Paulina Rubio, Alejandro Sanz and Raquel Pereda, as well as Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo along with a few other Dallas Cowboy’s players. As we put 2008 behind us and look forward to a new President of the United States in Barack Obama and a rejuvenated economy, I wanted to take the time to wish everyone a wonderful and prosperous 2009!

Much love,
Loren

Life with Loren – Evenings in Vogue

November 25th // Comment Here

On the 20th of November, JR and I hosted Vogue’s signature event, titled Evenings in Vogue at the Gansevoort South Hotel. One thing that is great about living in Miami is the fact that we have great weather year-round! The evening of Evenings in Vogue was no exception, as the weather was fabulous and so were our friends and co-hosts, Jason and Michelle Rubell and Mark and Alison Zhuk. Enjoy pictures from this wonderful evening!

Life with Loren – Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

November 17th // 2 Comments

Over the weekend, JR and I had the pleasure of attending the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the newly renovated Fontainebleau hotel with Kim Kardashian. As you may remember, Kim was the celebrity emcee for the Make-A-Wish Foundation Ball. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was over the top! From the lighting to the show (and who can’t forget the models), it was everything you’d imagine it to be and more! It was also a great place to mingle with so many wonderful and exciting people like New York Yankee, Alex Rodriguez, good friend, Jeff Gordon, Mario Lopez, along with supermodel, Heidi Klum. In addition, Diddy was there, Russell Simmons showed up, and Usher surprised everyone, as he performed! Not only was this a super-limited engagement, but it has to be one of the finest events ever put on! I hope you enjoy the photos from this spectacular event!
