My friends and I were at dinner a couple of nights ago talking about old movies and spent much of the conversation discussing how beautiful and refined Grace Kelley was in Rear Window. She was the personification of elegance. I also agree that the wrap shirt under the suit was the perfect. Such a subtle seduction.<br /><br />I'd love to know the name of the bio of Zelda Fitzgerald you're reading and whether or not you enjoy it. Always on the look out for new books to read.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859755625440254862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-32121659811120534182009-07-01T21:12:47.561-07:002009-07-01T21:12:47.561-07:00Miss C, I too love them long and instead of strung...Miss C, I too love them long and instead of strung on a string, spaced out on a chain with gemstones bezel set in between. Right now Chopard has the most beautiful long strand of gold pearls with either yellow sapphires, or most likely yellow diamonds, that is so elegant.<br />But this is why I love pearls, they can be worn so many ways.<br />Right now I'm finally getting around to reading the biography of Zelda Fitzgerald, the ultimate flapper of the 1920s and it reminds me of how long strands of pearls were the iconic look during the flapper years.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-87623986220462981042009-07-01T16:03:54.109-07:002009-07-01T16:03:54.109-07:00I love pearls on other people but find them too fo...I love pearls on other people but find them too formal on me.

When I think of what my ancestors (and probably yours too) went through to get to this country, I think that respect in dress and demeanor for the seriousness of the occasion is called for.<br />And...at the rate that I am going with getting followers...your statistical chances are pretty high for getting the pearls!Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-32441223122998157342009-07-01T15:23:53.014-07:002009-07-01T15:23:53.014-07:00I've always followed you but NOW I'm offic...I've always followed you but NOW I'm officially following! I want my name in the drawing!! I love pearls. I'm actually wearing, right this minute, my Wendy Brigode Tin Cup pearl necklace. I went to a "swearing in of new American citizens" today...I have no idea what it's called, but I felt like I needed to dress appropriately.

I think that one of these days when I get an extra hour or so I'm going to try to post articles on Rita Hayworth's Retro jewelry in the movie "Gilda" and Norma Shearer's Art Deco jewelry in "The Women". Then maybe from there I can delve into Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Victorian and Georgian jewelry as seen in film.<br />It's just that a with working a 10 plus hour day I don't have the time to delve into the subject.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-12758351249588901922009-07-01T09:35:29.579-07:002009-07-01T09:35:29.579-07:00Love the pearl choker!
