Brand Mastercraft is all set to embark on its first voyage in the big boat business. Now these are rather tricky waters, but that does not deter the maker of the MasterCraft 300. It is quite sure of its creation that extends along 30 feet with a 40 inch twin inboard boat. We are told that the company is hoping to reset the expectations of the buyer of how a day tripper should actually be.
The MasterCraft is a recreational vessel that sets new benchmark in luxury and technology. Its cockpit has an electric equipment that is standard for a big boat but if you like you can always opt for the Raymarine E80 that has a monitor with maps, radar and a 3-D terrain view of the ocean floor.

Expect designer Michael Kors to revv up some classy fashion magic every season. This fall he has come up with the Skorpios Hobo (perhaps to go with the ongoing Scorpios zodiac month) that oozes nothing but sheer exclusivity. Made in white, this one fully establishes the fact that its user is someone who has simple yet extremely classy tastes in life. Plus this one is as big as it gets. With dimensions similar to that of a big tote, 16 1/2″W x 14″H x 5″D, this handbag flaunts a slouchy shape that can be expanded to accomodate more by simply undoing the goldtone clips on both the sides.
A perfect day bag, this one has been made from real soft leather in white with trims of brown snakeskin-embossed leather. As for the handle, it sports brown braided leather that has been held together with nautical-style clips just like in a cruise ship. A very creative conceptualisation, we must say.

Lately we have seen that jewelry has gradually found its way into the male closet too. But so far, it were the golds, silvers and platinums only with maybe some diamonds to go with. However, male model and reality TV star Marcus Schenkenberg is trying to change things a little. Well, he perhaps is among the first one to come up with a line of pearl jewelry targeted at the metrosexual men out there. This little endeavour (and perhaps, among the first ever) of his has come from his partnership with a German pearl specialist.
Sold under YOU ROCK by Marcus Schenkenberg, this collection has several spectacular pieces in black-silver combinations that have been designed by Mayk Holländer though we would have liked to see Marcus try his hand at it too. Holländer has made use of black brilliant-cut diamonds and highlighted those with vividly colored Fiji cultured pearls.

Unlike the popular belief, recycling can be a whole bagful of fun. In fact, lately we have come across several examples of recycling that burst the bubble of the aforementioned myth. Take the case of classic Vespa scooters for example. We have witnessed how the scraps of old autombiles have been used to contribute majorly to a green lifestyle. In fact, recycled bike furniture as well as the reuse of aircraft parts to make real stylish chairs and tables have all been greatly appreciated.
Well, this furniture range just got wider with the vintage Vespa scooters adding their own special charm. The Spanish design studio, Bel & Bel has taken up the task of converting the discarded Vespa scooters and into real cool office furniture.
