Jewelry devotees, fashionistas and Upper East Siders flocked to the Park Avenue home of Sima Ghadamian in the rain for a magical evening of Persian food and music.

Dori’s World: A Relaxing Few Days in L.A.

I always love going to Los Angeles for a few relaxing days. On Tuesday night, my friend Barry Gesser and I took his plane from New York to L.A. It rained on Wednesday, but that didn’t stop me! I had a great lunch at La Scala with Jane Mass, and then headed over to see Rob and Doug Ellin in the afternoon. (Doug is the producer of “Entourage.”) That night, Barry, Alex Von Furstenburg, Ali Kay, Sarah Collins and I had a mellow dinner at Carmine’s, an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. It was a wonderful surprise running into Natalie Cole at dinner, where we caught up for a while.

Her entire family came to support her including her parents, Ricky and Ralph Lauren, her brother, David Lauren, her fiancée Paul Arrouet, and her friends Stacey Bendet, David Schulhof, Darcy Nussbaum, Lauren Bush and Lizzie and Jon Tisch.

On Wednesday, I had lunch at Cipriani Downtown with Loree Rodkin, Ingrid Casares, Goga Ashkenazi and Lizzie Grubman then we did a little shopping at Diane Von Furstenberg, Jeffrey, and Valentino to get some outfits for the evening. Our first stop was the Humane Society of the United States’ Make History Gala, hosted by Amanda Hearst. Guests included Topper Mortimer, Georgina Bloomberg, Beth Ostrosky, Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, Luke Weil, David and Dylan Lauren, Moby, Andrew Lauren, and Debbie Bancroft.

Dori’s World: Fasting and Feasting All in One Weekend

This weekend was filled with fasting, eating and some playing. Friday night was a great holiday dinner at Nancy and Jeff Lance’s house before the fast. Saturday was Yom Kippur, so it was very mellow, fasting and relaxing with my newly engaged friend Dylan Lauren. Then the big breakfast at Lizzie and Jon Tisch’s house. They had both family and friends there. One of their friends runs 50 marathons a year!

Dori’s World: Wednesday at Fashion Week

The first stop Wednesday night was at Saks Fifth Avenue for Lizzie Tisch’s Citymeals-on-Wheels event. After her event, Lizzie and I did some shopping and bought a bunch of Brian Atwood shoes; we love him.
