I've just heard there was an exhibit of Liz Taylor jewels last night and really feel I've missed out. I would have loved to attend. Can anyone please share, how do you find out about these events? And more importantly, are there any exciting events coming up this week? I enjoy doing lunch, brunch and shopping, but a Christie's exhibit is rather special here isn't it? How can I become more informed, and please share if there's anything good this week? Thanks.

I went with my friend last night after reading about it in the press. It was in the Goldolphin ballroom and although it showcased only a limited number of pieces, they were beautiful and it is the closest Ill ever get to Elizabeth Taylor. The bonus was that there was also a display of Middle Eastern contemporary art ahead of the auction by Christie's tomorrow. And to top that they served champagne and canapes! By the time we left it was heaving with lots of suits and glammed up ladies so fun people watching as well.

Scratch, is there a weekend section of The National where the arts & life section is included only Thursday editions?

Oh, okay, sounds like I only missed a few as a lot fo those pieces were in that Cartier tent thing at Dubai Mall a few weeks back... maybe it was advertised but the article I read said the event at Emirates Towers was private. They must have had more than one session to it.

this event was listed numerous times in the national newspaper. we subscribe to the daily newspaper which was super cheap and they threw in a free entertainer book. i always find the arts and life section filled with great events. we went along and it was just lovely - that woman sure knew how to buy bling. it was an open event to the public.

I saw it in the UK press late September. There were also articles and ads in the National. I was (am) a huge fan of ET & went along yesterday, there were approx 65 pieces, The big ring was there, the Prince of Wales feathers brooch she bought from the Wallis Simpson collection. The Taj Mahal Diamond, the Peregrina pearl, a few lovely pieces given to her by Michael Jackson, a tiara given by Mike Todd, diamonds rubies, emeralds, sapphires, pearls. There was also a screen showing her wearing some of the pieces along with clips of her films. A lovely day.

Shame, I would have been interested in seeing that too. But the GN article said it was a private press viewing so maybe not able to get in anyway? ANother good one if you have FB is Out & About page, regular competitions too! :)
