"Oscar de la Renta . . . "



Greetings,

As I mentioned last week - I was delighted to be able to attend the Keep Tahoe Blue fundraiser over the weekend at Lake Tahoe. It was a perfect Saturday. Clear skies. Warm temperatures. And amazing fashions were on the agenda for the day . . .

The event takes place at a spectacular private residence right on the lake . . . with a swarm of valets parking both cars (pulling into the private drive) as well as boats (at the private dock stretching from the lake shore.) And in between, the beautiful tree-shaded grounds flowing with champagne and the snappy sounds of a jazz trio.

A truly magical day . . . . enjoy . . . .

The view of the party from the dock entrance . . .


And from the collection of willow chairs looking out on the guests arriving by boat . . .


The weather couldn't have been any better. Warm. A gentle breeze. Dappled sunlight. And the view out onto Lake Tahoe wasn't too bad either . . . lol . . .


But, we were here for the show . . .
the collection from Oscar de la Renta, Resort 2011
Here are a few of my favourites . . .

And, just in case you were wondering what we wore to the party -
a virtual panoply of madras, silk, and bow ties!
