Choosing between diamonds and chocolates is a real toughie. So how about putting the two together and save oneself from making the heart-wrenching decision. Hershey’s (Perhaps one of the most loved brands) has decided to make things a tad easier for the diamond loving chocoholic women. Come to the Hershey’s Kiss Jewelry Preview and Cocktail Party and you will know just what we are talking about.

From what we hear, the famous Hershey’s Kisses chocolates have been diamond-ised in their sterling silver and white gold avatars. So for a change, you would really want to wear it than eat it. Again, this isn’t bubblegum fashion either for the pendant exudes a classy elegance that the most refined women would like to wear.

This chess set is fit for the blue blood. We are talking about the Queen’s Silver Jubilee chess set which was restored in 1977. If it helps to know the set also won the esteemed Design Council Awards. And currently the Silver Jubilee Chessmen are balanced to the US chess Federation playing weight. Bearing the London Hallmark, the seat has been made in two suede-lined leather book boxes with hand inlaid Dauphin leather trim. And typical to all Geoffrey Parker luxury games, this one too comes in a wide array of colors. We are told that there are two extra Queens for the serious player.

All pieces have been crafted in sterling silver gilt only to be gold plated later keeping a consistency of 5 microns. We are told that you can also get pieces completely made in 18 carat gold.

Almost nothing compares to that shot of tequila to get to the right party high. In fact, that’s why this liquor has always enjoyed a high status over other spirits. And a new one just entered the market. It’s called 1800 Select Silver, the only tequila to be produced by brand ManCave, and this one is partially aged and double-distilled firewater, thereby making it the only 100-proof silver tequila in the world.

Connoisseurs reveal that this tequila is as smooth as it gets, it goes in and stimulates your tastebuds with fruity agave flavor before ending in a soft finish. Again, this one is 25 per cent stronger than other silvers, so you might want to tackle it with care. In this case, one or two drinks will really be too many!

Stella Flame isn’t a very known name in the fashion circuit but that doesn’t mean she designs some-not-so attractive jewelry. As a matter of fact, the reality is just the opposite. Also the proprietress of Rock Hall, which is the new Connecticut B&B, Stella likes to spend her free time conceptualising and giving shape to bold and tasteful accessories.

Her brand is represented by Sola Showroom in Manhattan. If you go there, you will realise how her works are deeply influenced by the Mediterranean. In fact, the designer herself admits that she draws inspiration from the city of Istanbul. And her aim is to bring a modern twist to the traditional designs of the place she loves so much.

It’s not a very common occurrence when you spot a handbag that goes well with a casual outfit. Most designer brand are so busy catering to the bling needs of a glitter ball gathering, that we were pleasantly surprised to see the Botkier Violet Runway Hobo. We saw this smart bag paired with a pair of denims, and we thought, it looked very good!

Done up in dark and shimmery (but not an overkill please) steel-silver leather, this bag looks shapeless but on an expert will know how much effort must have gone into the slouchy structure. That apart, the bag appears only 4″ wide when viewed from the side. There is more than that meets the eye. The clever design allows the bag to have a lot of storage space without loosing the slim look. In dimensions like 15 1/2″ W X 9″ H, you can fit a book, cam and even a water bottle.
