Dior Makes L’Or de Vie Even Richer

Dior L'Or de Vie Rich Creme

In 2006 Dior Beauty set a benchmark with the release of its anti-aging skincare collection L’or De Vie, which tapped into grapevines. Not just any vines, but those of the legendary Château d’Yquem Vineyard, the French winery known for making the finest Sauternes. Why this particular stem? The vineyard’s prestigious sweet wine, which often scores a perfect 100 from wine experts, has been coveted for centuries for its longevity. With proper care a bottle will keep for a century or more, improving with age — precisely why Dior decided to source the fountain of youth that flows through the vines for the innovative anti-aging collection. This season Dior releases the latest addition to the L’Or de Vie range, La Crème Riche, exclusive to Neiman Marcus.

Producing the gleaming jar’s contents requires a six-month maturation process that includes 17 purification steps in order to extract the antioxidant-rich concentrate from the shoots of the Yquem vines. The finished product’s rich texture repairs, plumps and softens even the driest of skin. A thirst-quenching cure that will have your skin improving over time.

Shop Dior Beauty’s La Crème Riche and refills at NeimanMarcus.com and Neiman Marcus stores. Plus, earn gifts of beauty during the Scent Event, through November 27.

Dawn Breaks on the Swan Wedding Shoe by Manolo Blahnik

Swan by Manolo Blahnik

Let’s see how coy we can be about this… If you are into a certain vampire-romance saga, which opens its fourth film adaptation this weekend, then soon you will spot this Manolo Blahnik shoe in the long-awaited wedding scene. The style is named “Swan” after the fictional bride, who is on her way to starting a family with her devoted vampire. (Conflict ensues.)

The Swan, a satin pump, features a crystal-beaded vine appliqué, angled across the vamp and outer side. The toe is “almond” shaped and the covered heel is 4-1/4 inches.

Could this be the next Something Blue, the coveted blue Manolo from Carrie’s city hall wedding in the first [name redacted] movie?

Swan is part of Manolo’s new Resort collection. It comes in black and cranberry as well as white

Wilfredo Rosado: Making a Cameo

Fashion leaders Miroslava Duma, Giovanna Battaglia, Shala Monroque and Sarah Ruston were all spotted at the Spring shows sporting an ancient-inspired accessory – the cameo. The traditional shell relief looked anything but old, seen on everything from earrings and pendants to collar necklaces and signet rings.  We quickly got to the source of the trend, emerging designer Wilfredo Rosado.
