A Fond Farewell from a Fan....

He changed the way women dress, most notably, putting women into pants (thank you soooooo much!) There will never be another Yves Saint Laurent, but there is hardly a designer collection existing now, or even being conceived, which has not been influenced in some way by his brilliant style and creativity in the rarefied world of Couture.

Cracked Eggs and Feathers from Annette Ferdinandsen

We are so in the mood for Summer, and we don't mean the Texas heat. The colors from Annette Ferdinandsen are both cool and divine, and feature many one of a kinds, which she is known for.

Deco Drama for Summer.....

Happy Birthday Lauren...

It doesn't take much for us to crack open a bottle and break our diets, and Lauren gave us a perfect excuse. Happy Birthday, Darlin'!!!

Arun for Arunashi.....

This new design of Arun's was snatched up sooooooo fast for our store. A one of a kind in Mexican fire opals....yum! It is no wonder that he was honored as a winner in the colored diamond design category.

Our Town and Country Friends....

That would be the dapper Jim Taylor, Publisher, and the always elegant Pamela Fiori, Editor. The Town & Country Couture Awards are a highlight of the Couture jewelry show, and we were thrilled that Arun of Arunashi won one of the coveted design awards.

Food and Festivities....

My Vegas entries would not be complete without my two favorite subjects: food and a beautiful bride. This gelato display caught our eye and our taste buds, and as for the wedding party, all I can say is that 1. She is beautiful and 2. The tiniest babe of honor napped through it all. Congrats and Viva Las Vegas!

Vegas or Venice?

Welcome to Vegas, where day is night and night is day and we have no idea whether we are in Venice or on the Strip. Anyway, all the lights are very pretty, and it's a nice break from Dallas.

Irene Neuwirth & Co.....

What an incredible collection (and what a cute boyfriend!)....We just couldn't get away from Irene Neuwirth's area, because we were totally enchanted by her amazing new colors and stones for fall! Tracy, Irene & Woju were great models for the jewels, and we were left speechless. Stay tuned....

Tipsy and Fiona....

OK, I'm supposed to be looking at jewelry, and I did, but a highlight of Vegas is running into old friends, and we always enjoy seeing Fiona (a.k.a. Mrs. Gurhan) and Tipsy, an inseparable pair.
