If you want something bright and fiery in your closet, go for the Lauren Merkin Lotte Feather Print Clutch, and trust us you will never go wrong with your fashion. This one is spunky and feathery (in fact, it might even remind you of a peacock) without the extra maintenance fuss involved. A real glam of a piece, this purse comes with a very genius of coloring. It is both pretty and exquisite.
The silk print saves it from the ‘cheap’ look that is the trouble with most fakes. And it is just the same reason, this amazingly stylish and practical fashion accessory works very well with its classy-ness. Kudos to Lauren Merkin for this little wonder. The careful splash of colors makes it a great companion with a whole lot of hues.

Ring watches are not a novelty anymore. The pattern has been done several times before but we do feel that none have been as good as the one attempted in the Digit Watch. This one is aimed to steal the hearts of both men and women alike with such a generous an option of customization that you will be nothing short of being ‘floored’. Manufactured in London, this one is already being celebrated as one that even surpasses brands like Rolex and its much celebrated peers.
So much about the aura of the ring watch, let us tell you what keeps it ticking. An 18 carat white gold ring with an Aquamarine jewel face decorated with 142 diamonds holds the watch complete with a crown that can be manually wound.

If you’re like most everyone else then you have probably come home from college or work after such a hard day and looking forward only to getting a good night’s sleep before having to get back in the rat race the next day, and then found you couldn’t sleep. Or you probably find yourself waking up from your sleeping in a couple hours, not half as rested as you ought to be.
So, what do you do? Popping those Valium pills won’t help any, not when you need a more permanent solution. The LightSleeper, designed by Kate Evans, started out as a student project while Kate was in college and having trouble falling asleep. The interesting device projects a light onto the ceiling of the user and following the light’s circular motion across the ceiling purportedly induces sleep. Apparently, falling asleep by tracking the movement of the light would only take a few minutes.

There’s not a single guy on earth who can resist the power of a beautiful car. Being gifted one is often considered as the rite to manhood. After all, the car you drive defines the man that you are. Children so bent on growing up may hunger for the curves of a beautiful car and you really shouldn’t let simple things like a law stop you from getting your favourite kid an awesome car.
The 1956 Corvette C1 may have been best known for the race at the Sebring International Raceway, Florida, but this could better be known as the best gift you could give to a 10 year old. Modeled after the original Corvette, the Junior Classic Corvette can hit the memorable speed of 35mph and looks threateningly like the original, right down to the detailing of the racing number and the single driver-side mirror.

It is not very often that people try and design unusual and one-of-a-kind stuff when it comes to sports equipment as they are as a rule supposed to be ‘standard’. Apart from meddling with chess boards and their pieces not many people tend to bother with sports goods or try to bling them up with a sparkle or two. But designer Rirkrit Tiravanija along with Nathalie Karg’s Cumulus Studios wanted to create something more vivid and striking for the sport of Ping Pong and they ended up creating the super shiny and highly polished ‘Limited Edition’ chrome Ping Pong table.

Till the 18th century the rare shearling of Spanish Merino lambs could not be found outside the borders of Spain and the people of the nation were so particular about its exclusivity that you needed a very special permission from the King of Spain himself to cross the border with the shearling. But times have changed and now everything is available everywhere, provided you wield enough power to rope in the deal. The shearling used in this coat offered by Hammacher Schlemmer comes directly from Andalusia and is not just the very best but also gives the coat a look of elegance and understated style. If fashion is about standing out yet blending in effortlessly, then this $1,600 coat is an embodiment of all that and a lot more.

Ping pong isn’t a very strenuous sport but the English aristocrats who invented it made it a most stylish one. Whether you play a game of ping pong at the dinner table for amusement or at a real table for the sheer joy of winning over a component, table tennis has come a long way as a much admired sport.
Somewhere along the way, though, table tennis lost much of its appeal as a sport but all that is going to change when people lay their eyes on the chrome ping pong table. Designed by Buenos Aires- born contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, the ping pong table carries all the allure of style, luxury and the raw call of the sport itself. Designed for Nathalie Karg’s Cumulus Studio, the ping pong table is mirror polished in stainless and only 10 units of the limited edition collection would be made.

Steampunk is a design trend that is really catching on with even some mainstream designers taking inspiration from those who love to rev it up and create that unusual yet unique look. The Millennium Chess Table is a wonderful example of the perfect Steampunk design integrated with cool features that make it a truck load of fun. Build to please the Star Wars loyal, the table follows the design of the ship religiously and with meticulous detail. The 50 seconds of music and lighting that emanates from the in-built flash drive mimics the scene from movie as well.
The designs of the table along with its audio and video capabilities make it an exclusively unique piece, that the maker claims would not be repeated by him. Of course, he promises to make non-Steampunk-styled versions of the table and sell them off.
