Most of us who are into photography would know that cameras that are amazingly specs-efficient are not very sturdy. Even if a drop of water falls on them, you might risk losing your camera. Moreover, when you are visiting hard terrain there is always the risk of dropping your camera especially if you are trekking up a red hill. In that case you do not just need a water-proof camera but also a shock resistant camera.
However, most of these rugged cameras are bulky and take up a lot of space. Casio has launched the Casio EX-G1 which is the thinnest rugged watch in the world and measures just .78 inches. It even comes with a 12.1 megapixel resolution and looks amazingly chic. Just because it is rugged, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on sleekness, size or the look!

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.

Here is something that you would NOT want to eat: Female cranial fillets. While it not only highly misogynist to have these manufactured, it is actually more disturbing than misogyny. The facial features can be eaten and it is not known what kind of meat these fillets are prepared from.
That makes the whole Female Cranial Fillets deal sound more suspicious and might encourage violence against women. Each of these fillets ranges between $7 and $8, and some fillets even have vivid human expressions. These kinds of products may desensitize people to carry out attacks and also, it might lead to a serious degradation of the mind.

Christophe Golay is an amazing Swiss watchmaker who believes in the integrity of the design and chicness which is rarely seen by others. These high-end watches can be afforded by few but those who do join the ranks of the world’s elite. He has just unveiled a $350,000 watch by Cephee. The first watch under the Cephee series is called Ether, and it looks amazingly cool with about 150 baguette diamonds.
It even allows each of the diamond to reflect its own light making it one of the most advanced watches ever, with high-engineering platforms. The hands are placed on a chic sapphire and the straps are made of the softest leather possible. The Cephee watches are some of the best in the world and I am sure you would love to get one for yourself if you can afford a watch like that.

The USS Galileo, from Alpine School District’s Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center is a wonderful way to show how geeky you are. Now what is such a geeky thing doing on a luxury related blog? Well, I believe sometimes we all have dark desires that we do not necessarily admit in front of everyone.
One such could be to have a fortress of nerditude which is almost a space ship right in the living room. The USS Galileo simulator comes with stations, networking, speakers, a main viewscreen and all things that are futuristic. Apparently, it will cost anything more than $1000 so be ready to spend an amount much higher than that. I especially like the cool design and the quirky way in which it is built.

Sometimes dolls are better friends than humans for many kids. Playing with dolls has even proven to be a great therapeutic release for a child’s pent up emotions. If your child loves to play with dolls, you should perhaps encourage the kid more and allow him or her to go ahead and explore different emotions that are felt while playing with dolls.
Many of these emotions may not be pleasant but they help the child to purge such emotions which should not be bottled up. In order to encourage your kid to play with dolls more often, you could buy this cute Casa Cabana which has been designed by Kidsonroof. The cardboard shown here is a part of the many dollhouses that they have created using recycled materials.
