The Dishdasha

FROM AQABA, JORDAN TO PALM SPRINGS, CA the dishdasha has been a cool alternative to shorts and boardshorts.  This simple tunic is made from cotton worthy of Frette and has beautiful handstitched embroidery around the neck and sleeves.  In Dubai, we even saw chic businessmen wearing them with french cuffs.  We're not sure how they'll play out in Indian Wells, but they sure are great for local backyard pool parties here.

Summer Sandals

MISS TRISH of CAPRI or Miss Trish's sisters and copycats ruled the day at Trevor Project's Dive In held in Palm Springs yesterday.  We even liked the New York muscle boy promoting PAUL SMITH on his tennies.

The "Gold" Watch

SUMMER TIME  Memorial Day weekend might be the unofficial start of summer, but it is THE weekend to break out summer fashion and accessories like the "gold" watch. This one is a gem and TIMEX is the maker.
