I showed my teenaged daughter that photo-- she loved the shoes and said she would totally wear the dress on the right, if she had somewhere to wear it to!

I agree. More like that! I too, loved the shoes! And I love it when pearls make the wall street journal!

Enjoyed reading the article. Does the price for Dior ring seem reasonable - $590? Unless it's just costume and not real pearl or gold.

Haha, I thought the same thing. I just assumed it was costume jewelry or that there was a misprint on the price.

Ha, finally went to Dior site and found a description. Costume

The 'Monsieur Dior' line from the Winter 2013 runway show reinterprets the superstitions of the House's founder in a spirit that blends the Art D?co and surrealist styles. This pink gold-plated ring adorns the hand with an elegant resin pearl.

The pink gold plating I could live with, but a resin pearl? Cool design though!
