Audemars Piguet Adds Premier Golfers Kim and McIlroy to the AP Golf Ambassor Team
Audemars Piguet is at it again. The luxury brand that we love to love continues to outdo itself, so much so, that we can’t stop writing about its continued successes. Of course, that would only seem natural with someone as charming and savvy as Francois Henry Bennihamias at the helm.

What’s Been Going On at Apogee South Beach?
On Saturday we learned that A-list actor Michael Caine has put his corner unit in Apogee South Beach on the market for $6,995,000. Vitamin guru Andrew Lessman is also listing one of his South Beach condos in Apogee. Despite the owners who will be calling it quits at the luxe Miami condo tower, we are still dubbing Apogee as one of the “it” places to call home. The luxe building closed three contracts in April, with two additional contracts set up at the end of the month.

When we’re in L.A. and we say Tiger, we are not talking about the golf pro gone bad. In fact, in the posh city of Beverly Hills, everyone who is anyone knows that Tiger is not a person, but one of the most innovative culinary establishments in town. Tiger Beverly Hills used the holidays to preview its post-Asian fine dining fare to discerning palates and celebrated its official opening in the early months of 2010, quickly becoming one of the premier establishments for L.A.’s haute diners.

Rocking the Fall runway by both Dolce & Gabbana and Diane von Furstenberg, women’s trends are turning towards menswear for inspiration.
