San Antonio Spur’s point guard Tony Parker paid a visit to the Luxe Lab in June.

All things French was the theme for the premiere of Bernardaud’s newest jewelry collection. Bernardaud, famous for their porcelain, has expanded their line to include jewelry, and invited editors and influencers to an intimate preview at the Luxe Lab. Hosted by Claudette Blackwood, PR Director of Bernardaud, the event took place on a beautiful June morning. Along with the stunning porcelain jewelry, the food from Bouley Bakery, and the beverages from St. Germain were a hit!

Fruits, Quiches, Breads and Teacakes were among the food served.

The jewelry was showcased on the glasstop dining room table in the Lab.

Guests enjoyed hearing Robert’s story of his history in jewelry design while they looked at the collection.

The Luxe Lab was host to the 2008 Launch Party for Tupperware’s Camp Confidence. Tupperware CEO Rick Goings and Actress Brooke Shields were the hosts of the evening. Camp Confidence offers women around the world a confidence makeover through a panel of experts, or “Confidence Counselors,” who provide tips and advice in their respective areas of expertise. The confidence counselors are Bethenny Frankel, Health and Wellness expert and star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of NYC, Laura Rowley, Finance Expert, Carie Brescia, Beauty Expert, and Logan Levkoff, Relationship Expert. The Lab was bursting with gorgeous flowers arranged in Tupperware from Rebecca Cole. The food, served on Kitchy Tupperware serving platters was done by Bite Catering.
