Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to see both Hollis’ Fall 2015 collection, as well as, get a sneak peek at what he’s doing for Spring 2016. I took one look at the truly luxurious fabrics, which he imports mostly from Italy and Spain and the genius way that he cuts and constructs, and I was immediately obsessed! Sadly, photographs don’t do Hollis’ designs justice. They are something that you have to see and feel in person. The meaty weight of his fabrics coupled with a construction based on a seemingly architectural design aesthetic, work to ensure that the lines of each piece hold their integrity and remain crisp and clean against the body.The overall look is sophisticated and rich. Hilton Hollis should be a go to label for the girl who likes to look polished and fresh in all that she does. His work is simply gorgeous! But, This should be no surprise. When it comes to design, there is no better pedigree than that of a tried and true New Yorker with the twinkle of a deep south upbringing in his eye. It’s also worth mentioning, that as an American designer, Hilton Hollis includes sizes in his collection that many of the European designers disregard. If you aren’t familiar with the Hilton Hollis label, it’s definitely worth a google search to find out who carries his line in your area.

My Bucket List:
49. Dine in the palace of a Maharaja, as his personal guest.
Of course, I know that this wish is not likely to come to fruition. But, if you can’t be a guest at the Maharaja’s palace, it’s surely a close second to have his jeweler as a guest at yours!
This week it was my pleasure to host Sudi Singhvi, the youngest descendant of a very long and prestigious dynasty of jewelers to the Maharajas of India. For five generations, the patriarchs of Sudi’s family have been trading stones with the Maharajas and creating decadent, new confections to satisfy their royal appetite for sparkle and extravagance. The Singhvis are natural virtuosos of splendor and allure and after 165 years, these gifts have become virtually woven into their DNA.
In 1989 Sudi decided to expand the business by capitalizing on the strong relationships that he had formed with American jet-setters, who had purchased his sumptuous creations in New Delhi. A few well-placed telephone calls later, Sudi’s bags were packed and he began meeting in private American homes with small groups of hand-picked clientele. His jewels are a staple for the Grande Dames of the states. He is much too shy and humble to mention names, but those who know-know!
Recently, Sudi added works in semi precious stones to update the collection. He also added a website so that his customers can purchase jewelry without having to wait for his annual visit. Shhhhhh! It’s: www.singhvijewels.com.
If you are lucky enough to be invited to one of these gatherings, you should consider it an honor. Just talking with Sudi is a thrill. I love hearing about the history of his famous family and anecdotes from all the places that he’s been. He really is charming…so, so charming! I am privileged to call him a new friend.

The October sky is so beautiful. Everything outdoors seems to glimmer in shades of gold. I just love the depth and richness of autumn light.
