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.

We like the idea of a sweet fragrance spreading the message of peace (though we do not have specific details on the ‘how’ part of the dea;). Do not fret for we haven’t really gone bonkers. Famous brand Bond No. 9 has taken up on itself the task of making this world a better place to live in by making it smell better. And it is doing so without missing even a tad bit on the glamour quotient. Called Swarovski Purple Velvet Amphora Vitrine, this unique and shall we say ‘noble’ scent comes in a limited edition and aims to work for better fashion smell.
This 42 ounce amphora vitrine comes in a glittering bottle that is decked with not one or two hundred but 17,500 purple Swarovski crystal stones. Its gorgeous lid is shaped like a honeycomb that has also been able to accomodate an elliptical mirror too.

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.

If you have a real exclusive and rare fragrance of perfume then sure as hell you would want it to be sealed tightly and kept safely so that you can unleash its pulsating delights as and when you require them. Well, we do not know exactly how good Alexa Lixfeld’s latest line of perfumes is, but they are sealed safely enough to ensure that nothing escapes from the bottle.
Hailing from Hamburg designer Alexa Lixfeld has designed a range of perfume bottles with concrete tops and they seem solid enough to knock someone out cold with one hard hit.
Not that it is bad to have a perfume bottle in your bag with a concrete top. If anyone ever crosses the line or comes too close to comfort, then reach in and swing with your might! Of course, you will also have to carry around all that weight as well!

LED is much appreciated, be it in eco-friendly electronics or on your clothes. It doesn’t matter, we just love to see it everywhere! LED clothing really isn’t anything new for we have seen the likes of glow fur coats, LED tops and brassieres. But so far, these clothes were seen to be the forte of techie geeks alone. However, thing will change now. The London based designer duo CuteCircuit has taken matter in their hands to create a spectacular Galaxy Dress.
It took the winners of the Best Inventions of 2006 Award by Time Magazine for their Hug shirt close to 24,000 full color LEDs to design their new trend. Already being claimed as the largest wearable display in the world, the Galaxy Dress is quite a sight. It has been made from silk and then embedded with full-color LEDs. But this has been done without letting go og the comfy feel of the dress. The LEDs are like flat paper and measure only 2 by 2 mm.

We have been reiterating time and again, there is only one thing that can surpass luxury and it is simple elegance! So, why not combine the two for a lethal yet subtle effect! The Natural Ring Lizard clutch falls perfectly in the category. Also referred to as the Venice Evening Bag, this one is a pretty number holding the classic neutral colors together into a very unique and stylish shape.
In other words, you can safely say that the clutch mirrors the beauty of the city after which it is named (we mean Venice, of course, Lizard’s no city). A Fossati creation, this one comes with a magnetic snap closure. There are several interior pockets too to hold your cell phone, credit cards and other knick-nacks in place.

What do you think can bring a lot of cheer in the dreary, cold wintry months? Studies have confirmed that nothing can lift your spirits better than a heavy dose of bright colors. Well, famous designer Jimmy Choo (and we couldn’t have needed a better reccommendation) seconds that motion for his Candy Acrylic Shoulder Clutch symbolises the same. This stylish purse is as bright and it is bold. The picture above shows one in a vivacious shade of yellow (we like this one more), though you get an electric one in pink too.
There is a silvertone shoulder strap for you to sling on this cool accessory, again the strap can also be concealed inside the bag when you choose to opt for the clutch styling to complete your look. A very innovative and contemporary idea, this one is aimed to brighten up both your day and your wardrobe.

We like to call her the Queen’s cousin though there are a few who do recognise her as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the British model who is also believed to be a distant cousin of the Queen of England (and could be more popular for that simple fact than her own natural sexiness). Well leaving the debatable topic aside, let us tell you that the scaldingly hot beauty has recently been anointed as the newest Victoria’s Secret Angel. And that is indeed a feather in the crown for this model who has already worked for big names like Burberry and Agent Provocateur and featured in the Pirellu Calendar.
A li’l birdie tells us that Rosie is the only current British Angel to join the group of Lindsay Ellingson, Emanueal DiPaula, Candice Swanepoel and Chanel Iman.
