Well from what it looks like, the dogs are having quite a fair share of luxury days. First, it was the rather extravagant dog case by Marc Jacobs that had the Richie Richs in rapt attention for who doesn’t like to pamper their pooches. But now, we have yet again stumbled upon another little treat for the furry beasts we love so much. Vancouver just got its first ever luxury retailer and wellness center for dogs. Called the Pet Shop Boys (a name, by the way, we love), this one is situated at Cambie Street. Nope these fellas have nothing to do with the music duo. Instead, this 15 square foot boutique might just offer you anything and everything that you were trying to give to your best friend.

There is quite an impressive range of high-end services for your doggie. Some of them include hydrotherapy massage, reiki massages as well as a rather unique psychic consultation to allow your pooch to connect with you on an entirely new level. Wow, we sure wanna see that happen!
Delicious treats are included all the way. One can also find designer jeweled collar as well as diamond studded dog bowls. Looks like dog heaven to us!

Louis Vuitton has always stood by its belief in offering a luxurious way of life to its loyalists even when they are on the go. We are talking stylish luggage that is always appreciated by the discerning traveler. And one thing good about LV is that it is constantly working to improve its past products to give you the best in the market today. It was just yesterday that we were telling you about the LV Dog carrier by Marc Jacobs. Well, here is yet another item from the same  “Maîtres du Savoir-Faire” collection for Red Cross. It is called the 95 Secretaire special case and it bears the thumbprint (figuratively, so) of its creator Damien Hirst.

We are told that the inspiration for this rather grand luggage case came from the movie Dead Ringers. Apparently, the rather shiny display of stainless steel surgical instruments caught Hirst’s attention.
As a result, the 95 Secretaire Special ase bear the iconic skull impressions that belong to all Hirst products. There are two silver skulls encrusted on the inside of the lids as well. Black leather has been used to craft the exterior while the inside has a dark blue velvet lining bearing a beautiful butterfly print. Custom pieces also available.

The men love Duncan Quinn, in a totally not-so-gay manner. Well, the New York based menswear designer brand has indeed introduced the tough sex to a more fun and metrosexual way of dressing. After all, wasn’t the Savile Row with a slight twist togs a better choice for Sean Combs and alternate rockers Green Day, just to name a few! And now, DQ is quite proud to launch its new line of silk ties with stylish gangster motifs to offer a great completion to the winter fashion sense in men.

The picture above shows some ties that draw inspiration from Russian prison tattoos. Aren’t you reminded of Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises? Well, we are. Each of these ties have been made from 100% pure handwoven silk made in England. The cutting, stitching and finishing is progressed by hand (again) in New York City.
A little birdie tells us that a lot of Quinn’s designs are dedicated to the criminal fraternity after all hasn’t world recognised them as sharp dressers. If Michael Caine is anyone to go by, we mean!

Golf may be the game of the Richie Richs today but in the days gone by, it was chess (hands down) that mainly defined the leisure time of the Royalty and the intellectuals. We have witnessed quite an interesting range of some luxurious adaptations of the board game in the past. And today, we have one more. The limited edition lacquered chess sets from Japan Brand deserve a respectable place in your uber-rich house for it exudes such a charm that it should not get anything less!

These unqiue design patterns have been created by a New York designer, Alexander Gelman. He has developed the chess sets in four different types of extremely fine Japanese craftsmanship – fuki-urushi (wood lacquering), makie (gold lacquering), haku (platinum lacquering) and kutani (hand decorated ceramic pieces with intricate patterns).
As of now, the chess sets are on display at the Fellissimo Design House in Manhattane to excite New Yorkers. They will be available for made to order at a price lying between $80K and $123K depending on the craftsmanship. Apparently, Gelman wants his city mates to see an alternate way of life via these magnificent artworks!

It’s a TV stand to behold. We are talking in the language of Horgan Becket, which is a Brooklyn based architecture and design firm. Well, this ‘not so much heard of’ company has grabbed everyone’s attention thanks to a spectacularly television unit created by their extremely talented team. The concept works well for it blends the traditional with the modern to give a fine aesthetic expression never seen before.

Horgan Becket has made use of cast iron insteadof the wood venner which seems to be a more popular choice in the present day decor requirements. And that is just the reason why they are winning kudos from all over. Well, at least someone is daring to be different and pleasing at the same time!
That said, the company also offers the option of complete customisation. So just in case cast iron stand mounted on wheels does not work well for you, do not fret because you can choose from other components too. All this is done while maintaining Horgam Becket’s art of designing and crafting. At a price of $12,000, you deserve nothing but the best from this brand.

We have reported on the ‘Oasis of the Seas’ before. We are talking about the largest ship in the world. It is owned by Richard D. Fain and costs a whopping $1.4 billion. Well, the good news is that the ‘once-upon-a-time’ concept has finally become a reality. This one is five times bigger than the Titanic. And trust us, that is just the tip of the iceberg for it has space for seven neighbourhoods, an ice rink, a golf course and a 75- seat outdoor amphitheater.

The technical name of the Oasis is NB-1363 and this baby is so tall your neck might just get strained only trying to look at it. Experts say that the boat blends the glitter of Las Vegas with the fantastical edge of Disney.
The ‘Oasis of the Seas’ also boasts of a huge and impressive line of entertainment options that includes scuba diving lessons, rock climbling walls, surfing simulation wave makers, a basketball court as well as four pools. Again, the largest liner also has an gorgeous piazza complete with shopping areas and eating spaces. The designers also included a luxe spa where you can get botox treatments and teeth whitening sessions.

It is popularly believed that the Spanish know just how to make the most of crammed up spaces. And that said, it is high time we took pointers from these experts for isn’t space shortage the biggest obstacle in the modern times! Well, a Spanish bathroom design company that goes by the name of Roca has designed something truly extraordinary. The product we are so excited about is called Transtube 360 degree shower stall.

This one really is a frameless glass enclosure that surrounds you shower in a curve. The glass door opens and closes automatically. We think the Transtube 360 degree makes for a great bathroom option in tight space. The minimalist effect would work wonders.
The clear shower stall comes equipped with a rotating door that has no hinges or screws or handles. Trust us, you won’t be complaining either for it works automatically thanks to the motion sensors. The innards of the stall have a sleek chrome column. A thermostatic stainless steel tower is great way to save water and energy. A very stylised item, that deserves a second look.

Louis Vuitton has added another item in its ‘I love’ list. No, it’s not clothes for this once. More than anything in the world, this brand too loves being pampered by its die hards. And we have seen how loyalists find ways to show their allegiance to a name. We are not talking about LV dresses and bags over here. In fact, it is a bike on the streets (maybe not literally so, yet) that has caught everyone’s attention this time.

The bike is question is an Italian KTM 250 freestyle motorcycle. And the one riding it is Vanni Oddera, who regards himself as a worshipper of Louis Vuitton. We spotted this two-wheeler at this years EICMA motor show that was held in Milan.
The spunky bike has been done up in an orange and gold combination. The graffiti on the the fenders get a great complement in the form of a signature Louis Vuitton logo seat. We are not quite sure if this bike would be up for sale. It does look pretty unlikely if Vanni would like to part with his sweetheart. But where’s the trouble., after all you can always design your very own!

Sexy and kinky is always a huge welcome for those who are forever looking to spice up their lives. And Agent Provocateur is a brand, other than Victoria’s Secret, that likes to cater to this demand of theirs. Right now, the fashion label is out with a hot underwire halter neck corset that goes by the name of Heloise. As the name suggests, this one definitely is exotic, and you can find it under the Soirée collection.

From the looks of it, we can say that the fashionable ladies out there will not be thinking twice before shelling out $4,900 for their latest addition to the wardrobe, Helios has been carefully crafted from black ribbed duchess satin. The delicious feel of the exterior gets complemented by the soft black leather lining inside. The neckline is deep and plunging. But more than that, the hand-embellished biker studs accentuating the area is what will capture everyone’s attention.
One look at this corset and you will be reminded of Scarelet O’Hara. It has been designed in such a way that it really pulls in the waist. The hips also get emphasised with the 2 inch metal spikes. A pretty hot item but not meant for the faint-hearted. Definitely, no snuggling intended!
