"Beauty is an attitude. There's no secret." - Estee Lauder



Originally created by Aerin Lauder for herself and her closest friends, this lush floral fragrance has captured two magnificent white flowers perfectly in a luxurious bouquet right in time for spring.

This Parfum Spray is considered the Jewel of the collection and is the purest expression of the Estee Lauder experience. Adding simple luxury to the bottle, the cap is embedded with natural semi-precious gems such as aventurine, yellow and green jade, citrine, lemone and mustard stones. The shapes of the stones are different making each bottle unique.

Classic or Mexican Train You Decide


During a recent conversation, a few balked, “Who cares about dominoes?” Obviously these are the same few who get excited ordering Cosmopolitans when out with the girls.

LaDolceSwag loves dominoes, Hermes loves dominoes, and celebs love dominoes – that’s who cares! For those Cosmo drinkers, just a little F.Y.I., dominos happen to be one of Hollywood’s favorite chic pastimes. After learning a lesson or two from Selma Hayek & Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have introduced the classic game to their friends and the trend has exploded to bring back popular game night!

Not only are the likes of Hollywood Royalty hosting regular dominoes parties, but designers and corporations such as Stella McCartney, Bally’s and Vanity Fair Magazine have hosted the annual event, Hollywood Domino Tournament, to raise money for The Art of Elysium.

With this mini wooden domino game set and leather case from Hermes, could dominoes possibly reign as the new poker?

Did I Tell You How Devinely & Utterly Happy I am?


Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
~ Ms. Holly Golightly

Just when I think I feel a mean case of "the reds" coming on, I find the gem of all gems.  One of my favorite designers, Bill Ambreg of the U.K., has partnered with Penguin Classics to produce six of his favorite modern classics with a twist.  Bill has taken each of the novels enduring cosmopolitan styles and bound them in the softest rich brown calves leather.  The leather was specially worked so that the more each book is handled, the better protected and more beautiful it becomes.  These are must haves for curling up with your favorite throw-blanket on those lazy days.  Especially on those rainy days in the Hamptons.

Mr. Amberg has also included the following in his series of luxury leather classics:
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
  • A Room with a View - E. M. Forester
  • The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler
  • Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
