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.

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.

LED is a technology that has caught up pretty fast across the globe despite the fact that it is on the higher scale of the price tag compared to other low-profile technological solutions that could take its place. Just goes to show that people love bling and green solution will be accepted when they come in an attractive package. The Circuit MK2 designed by STORM of London is all set to take that LED charm and put in on your wrist. Designed to look like a space age tool, the LED display watch does not use the traditional analog or digital way of conveying time.
The flash from London uses an LED display on a sleek stainless steel bracelet to offer that sleek and ultra-modern look. With minimalistic design being the trend in fashion today the LED watch should have quite a few takers indeed. Displaying time and date despite the lack of chronograph functionality, the MK2 looks like the perfect wrist gear for every occasion.

People have always been fascinated by insects much as they hate them. Most of us dread the thought of walking into a hornet’s nest or even the slightest presence of a mosquito can rustle up our primeval fear of insects which is quite evolutionary in nature. Chinookhugs at Etsy has designed some amazing insect inspired jewelry which are made from solid 18 carat gold and brilliant diamonds.
These insect jewellery are reminiscent of art movements such as art nouveau, retro and are quite steampunk and gothic in nature. The 18 carat Gold moth comes with 8 diamonds and very old amber from the prehistoric times, which makes the jewellery far more attractive than regular and boring jewellery you might find in ritzy places like Paris or London. Platinum Beetles, Gold Insects, moths etc are made of rubies, diamonds, blue diamonds and sapphires.

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.

Prada is one of those brands that come under the “status symbols” list. If you do not own a Prada, you are probably not even closely part of the fashion circuit. Paris currently is the venue for a new and quite avant-garde Prada Contemporary Store which is temporary and surprises shoppers with graphic illusions.
The illusions within the shop and also from the outside recreate the city’s identity. Thanks to striking abstract perspective graphic illusions you could see the first bridge of Paris, the Mirabeau Bridge which was immortalized by Guillaume Apollinaire’s poem. The interiors are decorated with lilac carpeting and couches. It also recreates Prada’s first store in 1913 through chequered marble floors.

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.

If you are the kind of guy who would not like to buy separate things for each of your needs and would rather buy something that serves most of your needs, well you are just being a guy. Most men do not like to cleanse, tone and moisturize their skin in a 3 step procedure. They would rather use an all-purpose cream after washing face with plain soap.
Likewise, most guys would like to buy a coat that not only works as a vest but also as a coat. Here is the D&G 3 in 1 Coat which costs $1,550. It is more like 2 garments instead of the claimed 3 and is a shiny, quilted zip-up vest with a genuine coyote fur trim around the collar. It would also double up as a conservative coat which is slightly long.

The famous Italian fashion label Prada has given things in plenty to put in our wardrobe. But now, the powerhouse of style and exuberance has shifted its focus on to our bookshelf what with the recent unveiling of a ‘big’ (stress intended) book. This 706-page tone has tried to capture 30 years of innovations and experiments in a whole lot of related worlds like art, fashion, cinema, communications and even architecture.
With a simple name like ‘Prada’, this one impresses enough to make a bookworm out of us. Prada Progetto Arte has published this exciting venture that is quite sure to have the entire reading world as well as non-reading world swooning all over.

Let us be honest, there are handbags for summer and then there are handbags for winter (do not fret, we are not ignoring the possibilities for spring, rain and fall). We just think that it is fashionably a very bad idea to mix the two aforementioned seasons. Just take a dekko at the Tory Burch Nico Shearling Satchel and you will know what we are talking about. This fashion accessory-cum-utility is a perfect match for you winter coat, which we think might be back from the dry cleaners.
The satchel in question exudes a winter style that will keep you warm with happiness and style. There are furry shearling edges that impress upon a strong sense of warmth and comfort, a reassurance one always needs. At the same time, it looks very elegant thanks to the signature ‘T’ hooks that hold the handle.
