Maybe Not Like A Virgin - Mais Pas Mal

Like a virgin?
I think not
But Madonna does look rocking good on her 52nd birthday.
Just more proof that 50 is the new 30
(God... if only I could schedule in that 7 hours a day of exercise like Madonna...)

Around Town - Beverly Hills Summer - Bring A Blanket


Seriously, where else would you find movies projected poolside where you can relax in a chaise lounge and sip mai tais from Trader Vics.
Dive-In Movies

Dive into family classics and romantic comedies projected on a 60 foot diagonal backdrop all the while lounging in barefoot elegance. Admission is free and seating is on a first come, first serve basis. . So, choose a chaise lounge before the sun sets in the west and after the reel rolls, simply go with the flow, while cabana servers cater to movie concession cravings which are available for purchase.
and if movies and mai tais aren't for you
maybe this is your cup of tea

How To Wear Estate Jewelry - Carolina Herrera Style


Carolina Herrera is on my mind today.  I've always admired her chic pared back style with few, the great white shirt with the cuffs and collar turned up, the straightforward black skirt and most importantly, the few but standout jewelry pieces. 
I've been wanting to post this fabulous photo by Douglas Freidman for a while.  Doesn't she look fierce in her Verdura watch, Verdura bracelet, gold signet ring, south sea pearl earrings and vintage antique watch fob necklace.  I would so wear this outfit.

If the full on watch fob necklace is too Grande Dame for you (and not to mention too expensive...lots of gold weight in that necklace), here's the younger version with a single fob pendant on an antique chain.


here's the detail



Also, don't miss today's Privilege with Carolina Herrera black tie style on a budget.
We're going Grande Dame all the way today
