Gigantic fake jeweled necklaces — sparkling like fireworks — are just the thing to cheer up last year’s dress. Great imitations, really. Thanks Bill.

The Necklace
The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment That Transformed Their Lives by Cheryl Jarvis is an inspirational book about timesharing a diamond necklace + the emotional immersiveness + the remarkable social experiment. Brilliant. A must read.
Manolo Blahnik
Manolo Blahnik: the man who makes shoes so delicately, decoratively sensual – so caressing of the curve of a foot – that they don’t need a logo or a sole to identify them; they create their own walk (Vanessa Friedman).
