Ricky Serbin just arrived from Paris with a suitcase full of vintage goodness: several extraordinary Azzedine Alaia pieces from a former model of the designer’s, and a bustier from Gianni Versace’s divine Marilyn Monroe collection. A few of the items are at Ricky’s Exceptional Treasures on ebay now — hurry before they’re snatched up by those in the know!

In New York, Tatiana Sorokko made a stunning impression at a private dinner on the 18th that Bulgari hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I believe her dress to be from Rucci.

And just back from a trip to Paris and Dubai (where she enjoyed the exclusive Sky View Bar at Hotel Burj Al Arab), Olivia Decker has pointed out that my recent “Ultimate Homes” list of the twelve most expensive homes in the United States overlooked her spectacular listing on Belvedere. With an asking price of $65 million the estate would tie for number 7 on the list.

With it’s glorious view of San Francisco, this is the perfect place to call home after traveling around the world. Paris, New York, or Dubai are exciting places to visit, but nothing beats life on the Bay.
