It's hard for me to believe that Labor Day coming up this weekend and we are at the end of Summer.
Summer, like my two week vacation, flew by.
Not quite ready to get back to business here at Beladora
I've put together this pink and green polyvore ensemble, with antique pink sapphire and ruby jewelry, to remind me of day along the shore of Lac Lehman in Montreux.
What's the second most fun thing that you can do in the evening in Los Angeles for free?
Yep, you guessed it
Last night I was fortunate enough to have a private tour of the Griffith Park Observatory, which has just celebrated its 75th anniversary. Even if the city sky was so ridden with fog that the telescope was useless, I could still enjoy observatory's exhibits amid the 1935 Art Deco architecture.
Apparently winter has started already in Southern California so it was time to drag out the winter wardrobe. Naturally, I managed to action some jewelry that would work with my wool cardigan and skirt in jewel tones of ruby and sapphire.
So voila, the photo. Yes it is me at the event in my chunky faceted ruby bead necklace. Does the photo look a bit odd, but I've been photoshopped onto a photo with a different vista from the observatory. I liked this background better because you can see the Hollywood sign in the background.
(Question: as long as I was photoshopping myself, why didn't I make myself taller, thinner and younger like a Rlaph Lauren model?)
Also, not to be missed at the Griffith Observatory, the Light of the Valkyries show at the planetarium set to the music of Wagner's Ring, that was created to coincide with the Ring Cycle that was presented by the LA Opera.
