Happy Stories From our customers

NEW YORK (AP) — Lauren Bacall’s art, jewelry and furniture will be auctioned in New York.

Her estate is selling hundreds of items that had filled her three homes. Bonhams auction house estimates they will bring $3 million.

The film and theater legend died in New York City in August at age 89.

Bonhams says two Henry Moore sculptures from the collection will be offered during its Impressionist and modern art sale in November.

Bacall was a big fan of Moore’s work. Six more of his sculptures will be sold in March, with about 700 other lots. They include tribal art and paintings by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Alexander Calder and others.

They once decorated her homes in Los Angeles, Amagansett, Long Island, and the famed Dakota apartment building in Manhattan.

Who thought of this brilliant idea of giving rings prior to betrothal. (What the heck is a “betrothal” anyway? ) When you buy your wedding or engagement ring, know it has a long-standing history…one you’re about to know more about!

 

Where did the tradition of giving a diamond ring for engagements originate?

At first, only one ring was used for both engagement and a wedding. Then in 1477, Maximillian of Austria decided to give an engagement ring to his wife-to-be, Mary of Burgundy

 

 

Why is the wedding rings worn on the third finger of the left hand?

Both engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand because

it was once thought that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart. (How sweet!)

Sure it’s barely Fall, but it can’t hurt taking a peak into the trends evolving for 2015. Ready? (LOVE the feather watch.)

The slogan bracelet at Chanel. Chanel’s fashion riot for Spring/Summer 2015 saw bangles in silver and brightly colored leather with the same on-trend demo slogans that the girls brandished in the finale, including “Make Fashion Not War”, “Oser Sans Poser” and “Ladies First”. Karl Lagerfeld and the Chanel girls wore their hearts on their sleeves.

The retro hoops at Louis Vuitton With denim flares, high-waists and glossy leather, the high-shine of the disk earrings designed by Camille Miceli caught the lights of the runway at the Spring/Summer 2015 show. It was back to the future with these hoops, that brought the allure of 1970s icon.

The ring stack at Valentino In an invitation to travel next Summer, the creative duo behind Valentino peppered Spring/Summer 2015 looks with marine symbols. Coral, shells and sea urchins replaced last summer’s signs of the zodiac, translating into sun-bright rings to mix and match all season.

The feather watch at Fendi Accessories picked up on the same Spring/Summer 2015 themes as the clothes at Fendi, as the orchid motif featured on low-slung ponytails and denim blue popped up on oversized knotted leather cuffs. As if by magic, the delicate feathers of light bustier dresses also appeared around watches.
