Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Marilyn Monroe, who starred in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and sang the famous song "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend"

Yes, Marilyn Monroe was right, "diamonds are a girl's best friend"! It may sound cliche, but facts are facts!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, we are introducing some new gems to our boutique; all by SAFIA. All of the new necklaces are 18-karat gold with diamonds, and one piece features a lovely vintage-looking tourmaline (rose) stone, and 2 other pieces feature turquoise stones. Of course we brought back the coveted ohm necklaces, and added a few more styles to the mix. The turquoise and tourmaline necklaces have rose-cut diamond accents, which make them look like antiques (but they're not!).
Speaking of SAFIA, we recently brought in quite a few of her signature multi-strand necklaces...but just need to get them photographed and online for you!

1950s Lingerie

above & below: Bettie Page

Here we are with lingerie of the 1950s, filled with bullet bras, high-waisted panties and silk slips! You can see that lingerie is becoming a bit more risque, and more mainstream in advertising. During this decade there seems to be a divide between the sex kitten/vamp lingerie and the sweet, innocent 'housewife' lingerie so demurely portrayed in most of these images.
We could talk about the history of lingerie during the 1950s, but frankly, that sounds pretty boring when the fun images in this post can speak for themselves!
