Meghan was in the Hamptons, New York yesterday for the G9 Aventure Summit with friends Misha Nonoo and Bobbi Brown. The event was hosted by power broker Amy Griffin.

It has been suggested that Meghan was there to gather insights for her forthcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which is yet to officially launch.
The event was held at the expansive estate of Amy Griffin and her husband, John Griffin. The event was a hotspot for networking with other prominent attendees, including Missy Robbins, the renowned chef behind Williamsburg’s Lillia and Misi, and makeup legend Bobbi Brown. Weight Watchers CEO Sima Sistani and investor Kirsten Greene were also on the guest list. Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon were believed to be in attendance, along with Spanx founder Sara Blakely, actress Laura Dern, and journalist Katie Couric.

Griffin, known for guiding early-stage startups, has previously coached brands like Goop, Athletic Greens, and Bumble. It is speculated that Meghan attended the event as a prelude to launching her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, set to debut later this year. She recently wrapped up filming her new lifestyle show for Netflix in Montecito, which is awaiting a release date.
You may recall Meghan with Bobbi Brown back in 2016.

*********
Last Sunday Meghan and actress, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, were spotted catching up over an Italian meal at the popular Tre Lune restaurant in Montecito, California. We’re unsure how the two are connected other than their philanthropic endeavors closely align. Perhaps it was also tied to Meghan’s new lifestyle brand as well. We’re excited to see the possibility of how this plays out in the near future with these two.
Oh, who’s that? 😍 👸🏽

Back in December I had the pleasure of meeting up with actress, Ashley Williams (below), Kimberly’s sister here in New Jersey. The two have starred in several Hallmark Channel movies together. It is not the first time I have met Ashley who is just as kind and sweet as her sister Kimberly!

Now our look at what Meghan wore this week.

I absolutely love her linen suit with the halter and the wide leg pants. It’s such a chic, elegant, and clean look. ❤️
While I love that Meghan’s now able to dress freely without any ‘Royal Family guidelines,’ I once again just don’t get the excess length of her pants…again? Maybe it’s just me & my own pants-fitting-preferences but I just don’t see how this is a good look, not just on her petite frame, but on most women & assorted body types. Perhaps it’s still a tailoring thing again? Idk I just don’t get it…
Laura, I completely agree with you. I don’t understand why her clothing is usually to big and/or too long. She looks unkempt.
I don’t think those are RayBans. The Ray Bans are smooth and the glasses M is wearing looks iike the have little rivets around them…
Hi Jenny – I grabbed the wrong photo from 2022 which show Meghan in the Linda Farrow aviators. In my rush to get the post done I inadvertently grabbed teh wrong image. I’ve corrected it and show Meghan wearing the Ray-Bans in 2016 and 2014. Thanks, Susan
Got it. Thanks! And thanks for the info on those LInda Farrow aviators. I like them a lot!
I love those sunglasses too! I just wish they weren’t so darn expensive! – S
Meghan looks great. That’s a cool vest and linen is a popular fabric today. I wish Meghan will wear her hair down more often because lately I only ever see her hair in buns.
Good observation. Unfortunately, I’ve read so many nasty comments when her hair is down accusatory ones saying her hair length is fake, which it is not. Her and her sister-in-law have that in common, well-cared for thick, healthy locks.
The sunglasses in that picture from April 2022 were Identified as from Linda Farrow. But she’s had those Ray-Ban’s since at least 2016.
Hi Amy – thanks for pointing this out. I grabbed the wrong photo when I was putting the post together in a hurry! I’ll correct this and add the correct photo. – Susan
