Time to get a watch created by dynamic duo Diane Von Furstenburg and jeweler H. Stern.  Inspired by the shapes of organic crystals, the Sutra Collection has taken time telling to the next level.  “It’s not a jeweled timepiece as much as it is a piece of jewelry that tells time,” commented H. Stern’s chief executive, Ronaldo Stern.  This is the stuff dreams are made of – silk, crystal, diamonds and gold.  Some of the watch faces are strung on delicate, interchangeable leather bands for the wrist, while others are hung boldly as pendants on thick chains.  You can’t officially buy one until September, when the collection will be available at H. Stern and von Furstenburg stores.  Until then, find more information at www.fashionweekdaily.com. 

We are finding more and more that DRY is not only great on its own or paired with a meal, it’s also an excellent cocktail mixer.  We’ve made non-alcoholic mimosas (two parts Lemongrass DRY + one part fresh orange juice = delicious), our founder’s favorite Lavender DRY with gin, and several other fancy drinks.  If you want reassurance straight from the cocktail world, ask the experts at LA-based Pinky Vodka.  For your sipping pleasure, they have created the Perfect Pinky Martini with their oh-so-beautiful vodka and Lemongrass DRY.  Visit www.pinkyvodka.com, choose “cocktail hour” from their drop-down menu, then select “martinis” and you will find a fabulous recipe and video instructions on how to make your Perfect Pinky at home!
