Spotted: Diana Vickers In Gilda's Tryst

On Saturday night the singer Diana Vickers celebrated her 21^st birthday at the Mayfair nightclub Whiskey Mist wearing jewellery by... guess who? Gilda’s Tryst! The day before a friend of hers stopped by our Covent Garden boutique to pick up the accessories as the star was busy preparing for her performance later that night.

On the night the X-factor semi-finalist, who is currently touring with Olly Murs and JLS, looked beautiful in a Stella McCartney black column dress accessorised with our Gold Cobra Cuff and Turquoise and Gold Cleopatra Earrings.

And now a little bit about Brigitte Bardot, one of the best-known sex symbols of the 1960s. Brigitte Bardot was the darling of France, a talented & beautiful actress, fashion model and singer. Often just called “BB”, she was famous for her playful personality, her dramatic love affairs and her unforgettable style. Today, that BB style still inspires women of all ages.

The Great Gatsby & The Roaring 20s

The trailer for the 2012 remake of The Great Gatsby has recently been released. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is:

The Great Gatsby, originally a romantic drama novel written by the legendary F. Scott Fitzgerald, has already been adapted in cinema quite a few times. We particularly adored the 1974 movie which was pretty fantastic with a young oh-so-dashing Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby, and a willowy Mia Farrow as his object of desire Daisy Buchannan...

   

The 2012 Great Gatsby, directed by Baz Luhrmann (his previous films include Australia and Moulin Rouge), stars Leo Di Caprio, Toby Maguire, elfin British actress Carey Mulligan (who recently played in Pride & Prejudice) and the model Gemma Ward.  Here at Gilda’s Tryst offices, we are very excited and will be counting down the days until we can see the film - which unfortunately won’t be released until Boxing Day!  Expectations run high; will it meet the challenge??

We certainly love the style!  Check out our Pearl Repentance Bracelet & Silver Lace Headpiece to get this look

For those of you new to the story – F Scott Fitzgerald’s almost perfect little novel is set in early summer 1922 in West Egg, Long Island, where Nick Carraway, a recent Yale graduate who fought in World War I, decides to rent a house for the summer. Neighbouring his place is the mansion of self-made millionaire Gatsby, and across the water is the house of Gatsby’s one-time pre-war girlfriend Daisy – now unhappily married to Tom Buchannan.  Nick is lured into the lavish world of his neighbour with its opulence, glamour, loneliness and obsession.

As you may already know we at GT draw a lot creatively from books, music, fashion and film of bygone eras. Our Gatsby collection, with its pearls, lariats and long rope necklaces, captures the essence of 1920s glamour.
