Back from NY and we’ve already attended our first Art Basel event, Gold for Life. To attend Gold for Life you could just give a standard donation or you were able to donate your old gold jewelry as your donation to the Art Basel kick off party. After our donation, we walked through a bevy of clipboard carrying, shimmering, young women that directed us to the “backyard” of the “venue”, which was a Palm Island mansion (if your in the market, its available through real estate big shots The Jills), where there were PLENTY of glittering Art Basel lovers, artists, socialites, and golden painted and bikini clad women surrounding a mosaic tiled pool littered, if you will, with paintings and surrounded by art! We were able to meet with a couple of the featured artists. There were a couple small jewelry vendors, complimentary 42 below cocktails, much needed espresso, and Sephora goodie bags on the way out.

All in all we officially have our first Art Basel event under our belts and will be checking out the International Vanity Fair party/reception tonight at the MoCa to let everyone know about RFS!
