Plush private screenings ... Dazzling diamonds ... Exotic Peekaboo Fendi
1 The reel thing There’s no question that Naples’ hottest ticket is at Mercato’s ultra-plush Silverspot Cinema. Prefer a private screening for you and all your film buff friends? Just have your people call their people, and for the cost of a theater reservation plus $40 to $60 per person, you’ll savor a selection of four to five appetizers and two adult beverages, including wine, beer and cocktails. $5,200 to reserve an individual theater, Silverspot Cinema, (239) 592-0300.
2 Haute coiffure A new ’do is divine, as is a new hue. But to really put some pizzazz in your pigtails, you’ll need a bit of ornamentation by French designer Marie-Christine Davidian. This lavish line is handmade and includes an artful assortment of Swarovski crystal-studded accessories, including hedonistic headbands, beautiful barrettes and captivating combs. Our favorite is a heart-swirled clip that’s sure to have you feeling pretty in pink. Heart clip, $515, La Femme Perfumery, (239) 434-7444.
3 Later, gator Fendi’s popular Peekaboo satchel boasts a slightly slouchy silhouette with some serious style, thanks to its unique, open-sided appearance. For one lucky luxury lover, the Spring/Summer 2010 collection also includes a sumptuous specialty Exotic Precious Skin Peekaboo in sleek black alligator with goat leather trim and grey suede interior. A felt roller pin is used on the alligator to ensure it will remain soft and shiny. $32,400, Fendi at Saks Fifth Avenue, Naples, (239) 254-0432.
4 Cruise control If adventure—and elegance—on the high seas sound like scintillating ways to spend 119 days, we suggest the “Spirit of Discovery,” the inaugural world cruise of Silversea’s flagship, Silver Spirit. From January to May 2011, you’ll journey to more than 60 ports, from Polynesia to Asia to the Mediterranean, and enjoy an array of amenities, including guest chefs, wine experts and celebrity lecturer Dan Rather. Pricing begins at $62,700 per person, Preferred Travel of Naples, (239) 261-1177.
5 Here to Uternity We didn’t think diamonds could be any more dazzling, yet here’s a stunner that has convinced us otherwise. Jewelry designer Daniel K’s innovative “Uternity” band features a U-shaped mount to minimize the appearance of the ring’s platinum setting and allow the stones to truly sparkle. Several styles are available in a wide range of prices, but we favor the band that bears 10 round brilliant diamonds, each ranging from 2.02 to 2.33 carats, for a total weight of 21.66 carats. Its price: $925,000, Yamron Jewelers, (239) 592-7707.
