Stylish Lexicon

From time to time I'll provide a new word so you can have all powerful diction. You'll be able to tell your friends, "While you're feeding your ego I'll be feeding my lexicon!"

Today's word is:

Beau Monde

(BO mond)

Noun

It means the world of fashion; high society; fashionable society.

Sentence:

In today's withering economy only the beau monde can afford the pretentious clothes from last week's Yves Saint Laurent fashion show. (not a lot of context here but you get the point!)

Now you try. Use it in as many sentences as possible.

What am I listening to this morning?
