LINGERIE

Really interesting concept…little pricey, but hey I’d give it a try…Apparently tiny, almost invisible magnets hold the pieces in place, holding tight enough to ensure that there won’t be any accidental panty-dropping in the office. But when the moment arrives, the well-placed connectors snap apart in one swift tear. Not easy to find since only two boutiques carry Lingerie Dement in the United States, but you can try this website!

Loving this new piece…Thirteen hand selected, mixed vintage chains are linked together to create three tiers of layers. Made from at least 37 different pieces of vintage jewelry, each necklace will be slightly one of a kind. Necklaces are packaged in a special DLC jewelry box and are secured onto a printed book card. Sheets of vintage dictionary pages protect the jewelry during transit. An authenticity card is also included. Retail $450.

“You Should Have Been With Me”

You Should Have Been With Me is a massive scrapbook culled from Shaffer’s stunning archive, with intimate portraits of celebs of the day including Gloria Vanderbilt, Angelica Huston, Andy Warhol, Halston, Calvin Klein, Peter Beard, Cheryl Tiegs, Grace Jones, Jerry Hall, Brooke Shields and Mariel Hemingway.

In diary form Shaffer shares extracts from his extraordinary life at the nexus of New York’s art, fashion and cinema worlds, at glitzy parties “where everyone is somebody and they’re all dressed to kill!” Shaffer’s journey was that of a “voyeur, participant, invited guest and documentarian” wrapped into one; sadly he died during the final stages of production on this book, which now serves as a fitting legacy for an artist who deserves more recognition.

Beverly Hills jeweler Martin Katz created a limited edition diamond encrusted “J” pull for the iconic tracksuit made of 18-karat white gold and pave set with one carat total weight of diamonds. I’m not the biggest fan of Juicy tracksuits, but I wouldn’t mind the diamond “J” in my stocking for the holidays!!!

Juicy Couture flagships and JuicyCouture.com will carry just 100 of the limited-edition pieces. The diamond “J” pull retails for $1k.

On October 20th, Christie’s offered the BVLGARI Blue, a 10.95-carat triangular-cut fancy vivid blue diamond set alongside a 9.87-carat white diamond in a ring. The ring was the highlight of Jewels: The New York Sale, and it is the largest fancy vivid blue diamond of this cut ever to be offered at auction. So rare, only 1 in 10 million diamonds possess a color intense enough to be qualified as fancy vivid blue by the Gemological Institute of America. The original owner purchased the ring to commemorate the birth of his first son and paid about $1 million…the ring was expected to make auction history and fetch over $12 million…it went for $15.7!!! wow…
