Coastal Friends is planning “A Tasteful Tee Off to Spring” fashion show from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. March 6 at Marsh Landing Country Club, 25655 Marsh Landing Parkway, Ponte Vedra Beach.
Dillard’s is the sponsor this year. The models for the fashions and accessories will be Coastal Friends members showcasing such brands as Lilly Pulitzer, J. McLaughlin, IBKUL, Eileen Fisher and Antonio Melani — Dillard’s exclusive private label brand.
Dillard’s Assistant Store Manager Kimberly Pond will be the emcee and Lisette Colebrooke, visual manager, will be busy behind the scenes helping to make sure all goes smoothly, along with their resident makeup artist, Rebecca Miller, from Chanel.
Additionally, Dillard’s will donate two high-end gift baskets as raffle tickets: one filled with ladies’ fragrances and the other with luxury skin-care products. Coastal Friends will make a donation to “Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Northern Florida” on behalf of Dillard’s.
The luncheon is open to the community, members and guests of Coastal Friends. The cost to attend is $25. As seating is limited for this very popular event, reservations must be made in advance; contact the luncheon chairman (bartshar@comcast.net) as soon as possible. The luncheon menu will consist of caesar salad, chicken marsala, roasted red potatoes, asparagus and chef’s choice for dessert.
