On April 14th, Journelle hosted a special shopping event along with one of their sexiest brands, La Perla, at their new Lincoln Road store. All proceeds from the event benefited The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis in Miami. This non-profit organization serves as the national fundraising arm of The Miami Project and aims to reach high levels of spinal cord injury awareness within local communities. During the event, guests were treated to complimentary champagne and hor"dourves while they shopped around for their favorite lingerie pieces. Every customer received a 20% discount on their purchase along with a chance to meet members of The Buoniconti Fund. The opportunity to mingle with people who are truly committed to finding a cure for paralysis and who actively pursue ways to make a difference in our community....priceless!!

Ernesto Belasques, Noelia Roman and Alexandra Santibanez were among some of the guests at Journelle. I had a great time chatting with them because we"re all around the same age and let me tell you: Alexandra has an awesome sense of style. You rock!
