Most gorgeous of all is a set of cloud-shaped lenses suspended by gold hooks from a gold and platinum frame encrusted with 103 diamonds...
...fashion pundits like Rosemary Kent at Harper's Bazaar enjoy exposing kaleidoscopic legs at dinner parties and at the theater. Says Kent: "The socks are campy and chic, and are as important to have as a Gucci belt or a Cartier watch." Or, at the very least, a mink toothbrush...
