Rodeo Drive Walk of Style honors Grace Kelly and Cartier

Once upon a time, Rodeo Drive, first class shopping, glamour and beauty were synonymous. Well, as I see it, the Rodeo Drive's Walk of Style committee actually did a brilliant job these past few years, reconnecting the present with the past and hopefully bringing the standards up to par again (http://www.rodeodrive-bh.com/index1.html) via the future...

On October 23, 2009, Prince Albert II of Monaco accepted the coveted Rodeo Drive Walk of Style award on his mother's behalf last evening. Grace Kelly's most treasured piece of jewelry was her engagement ring that was created by Cartier.
Demi Moore was dripping in Cartier jewels. I mean she brought on the bling bling - Diamond and onyx hoops, three white gold and diamond link bracelets, and two white and gold diamond Laniere bracelets AND a pave diamond ring! Honey, Demi Moore wore the jewels and the jewels were wearing Demi - both doing each other justice...
As you well know, Grace Kelly was an eloquent woman that brightened up a room when she entered it.

Grace Kelly lived a fairytale life, and placed the thought in so many women's minds that if you dream big, anything is possible - giving them hope.

She was truly an American icon...
After the presentation of the award, the crowd walked over to the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel to enjoy a nosh at THE BLVD - the shrimp tempura is to die for. Women were wearing their beautiful Cartier jewels and all things sans Cartier.
Cartier Trivia:
Did you know that Cartier was the first designer to have black women walk the catwalk of Paris, France? He even created the two black Panthers insignia, which even later graced his vintage fragrance bottle, Panthère de Cartier, in tribute to the black woman. Yep. Cartier said that black women were so eloquent and lovely on the catwalk. You see, even Cartier knew back then that glamour and beauty crosses every race/creed and color...
The next time you're in Beverly Hills, please make sure you stop by the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. It's the hotel that the movie 'Pretty Woman' was based on and filmed in...C
