What would Princess Diana do

Who can forget this image?

Diana in the Mediterranean staring out to sea. Her golden

hair and tanned skin set off beautifully by a swim suit

that matched the sea in Azure Blue. They are making a movie

of the last 2 years of this remarkable womens life.

It stars Naomi Watts

and recently they reshot that imfamous scene.

  Here is the movies interpretation of that picture

Aww, sadly they have missed the mark.

  Diana was so careful about choosing items that

masked her figure flaws and accented her strong points.

This suit has a high back creating a tank (athletic) look.

 Diana chose to soften her waist and create a curve with a low back

And the color.

Well Diana was memorable ,the color she chose radiated.

  Here is a suit that would have been a far better choice.

I propose a redo.

Pearls for June Birthdays June Brides or Just Because You Love Pearls in Any Form

If you were born in June you have a truly beautiful birthstone ~ the pearl. They are the oldest gem known to man, and the only gem made by an animal. Pearls are symbols of purity, perfection, elegance and affluence.

Once a rare and highly prized gem, a symbol of power and most expensive since first documented in 2300 BC, they are now relatively inexpensive and available to anyone. We can find them not only in jewelry but accessories and even accents to clothing.

Fortunately for pearl lovers, there are not only natural pearls from oyster beds, but saltwater or freshwater pearls, cultured pearls “invented” in 1907, and those grown in pearl farms. And of course faux pearls made of glass or beads.

Our Best In Vintage members have some fabulous pearl, cultured pearl and even faux pearl offerings for you from jewelry to clothing and of course accessories. We hope you love pearls as much as we do, even if they aren’t your birthstone!
