We had the pleasure of seeing the gorgeous jewels that Elizabeth Taylor was able to indulge in! The large emeralds and sapphires were to die!! Who knew Jennifer Tilly was such a big collector.. her poker winnings perhaps? Money from her marriage to Sam Simon, producer of the Simpsons? She is very lucky indeed!

The Hockney exhibit was very interesting with many vibrant colors. The TV screens of the forest scenes were also quite a draw. I personally liked the snow scene. 

The drinks were fab with a coconut vodka featured by New Amsterdam and an excellent cheese buffet table. Carnival Cruise provided Domaine Chandon champers and choc covered strawberries. It was quite lovely and the crowd was very chic.
