Bang & Olufsen spells luxury entertainment to us. This brand credits itself on bringing to its loyals such stylish technology that other brands will always have a tough time coping up with. Recently, it was the sleek BeoVision 10 TV that caught everyone’s fancy, and now it is the newer and bigger BeoVision 7 that is sure to blow everyone away!
For starters, there is a avery evident 15 inch boost such that the television measures 55 inches in total which is real grand. The LED backlight support with local dimming option works wonders to boost the contrast. Then there are the two different motorized stand options that make room inside for a Blu-ray player. The refresh rate is pretty impressive at 120 Hz. No wonder we were using the adjective ‘Big’!

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.

The word Mercedes comes with its own superb stamp of class and elitism. The luxury brand has now come up with a whole new range of golf accessories. If golf as a game itself meant class and symbol of elegance of the super rich, Mercedes is something any top golfer or golfing enthusiast would crave for. The range is available both for men and for women.
It has simple and functional shirt jackets, classic golf bag with its sturdy tripod, full length dividers and five zippered storage pockets as also an insulated beverage holder in the bag, and other little items such as a unisex Visor made of cotton material with a special twirl. Behold, it also has a Mercedes Golf umbrella which is a boring black in colour but another tempting piece of the pie with its Mercedes Benz-logo and a golf ball marker, not to forget the stylish Callaway golf towel, besides golf balls.
What is common to all of these accessories, rather each of them, is the exclusive Mercedes signature. Even if you are not a golf enthusiast, you would want to grab a piece of Mercedes golfing paraphernalia.
