Summer is at its peak now and it is impossible to think about wearing anything more than a t shirt. The heat can become unbearable and that is when the well heeled decide to go to the mountains or to the north where it is pleasantly cool and chilly.
When you feel the need to wear something warm there, you could take a look at this chic grey v-neck pullover by Scotch & Soda which is being sold at $90. The way the pullover falls over the model’s waist is sensual and ye innocent. The dull gray compensates for the brightness of the sharp northern or alpine sun where the wind might be chilly but the sun would shine bright.

The sleek hot pink clutch by Michael Kors is eye-catching to say the least. For once, we know for sure that hot pink never did go out of fashion. Again, the idea of a clutch purse makes this designer item welcome to classy social gatherings too and not just be confined to teengae boppers road shows.
Michael Kors had created this stunning accessory in patent leathr and has used contemporary silver hardware to decorate. The top of the purse is framed and opens on a hinge. We also liked the idea of the tiny logo embossed on the top closure unlike the in-your-face strategy adopted by most other high-end designer brands.

Rasmus Gjesing has just designed a gold-zinc painted bicycle for men and hopes to provide options for those men who are tired of riding bicycles meant for the masses. Targeted at the elite Danes, The Killer bicycle comes with aluminium bars and is made of steel. It also has a Brooks leather seat and looks amazingly gorgeous with all the zinc plate and flashy gold appearance.
However, I am not the kind of guy who would like gold on my bicycle as that looks quite tacky and unsophisticated. Instead, I would rather buy something that does not look so garish. Nevertheless, if it is only the price tag which helps you get off, then you can get poorer by $4,300 and get yourself this golden hued bicycle and ride to a weird type of glory.
