We kicked off 2025 in dazzling fashion with Shine Bright: A

Special Evening with Meredith

Marks on January 10th, an unforgettable night filled with elegance, insight, and generosity.

The event, held at Lago, the modern Italian steakhouse, was hosted by renowned Top Chef alum and restaurateur Fabio Viviani. Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails, exquisite appetizers, and even had the exclusive opportunity to sample Meredith Marks' signature caviar while browsing pieces from her stunning jewelry collection.

A true highlight of the evening was the Fireside Chat, where Meredith Marks—award-winning jewelry designer, entrepreneur, and star

of The Real Housewives of Salt

Lake City—shared her journey and inspirations. She was joined in conversation by FLM Publisher D.C. Crenshaw, One Life Kitchen Owner Lauren Brynjelsen, and Barrington Children’s Charities President Darby Hills, offering guests unique insights into her world.

More than just an evening of luxury, Shine Bright was a celebration of philanthropy, bringing together a passionate community in support of Barrington Children's Charities. With an atmosphere of warmth, sophistication, and giving, it was the perfect way to usher in the new year.
