Body Art (Jewlery)

Ines de Castilho‘s decorative jewelry may be worn on the skin of the wearer. The beautiful, sensuous jewelry has flexible and rechargeable adhesive pads secured to the back side of the decorative portion by which the jewelry is attached to the skin.
The self-adhesive bras are especially beautiful. The mesh-like collages or foliage are hand-sewn on the grids and covered with Swarovski crystal rhinestones in gold, pink and pale blue. This jewelry collection is truly unique, beautiful and very sensuous.

Unusal Lights

Hello there!, Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day. Look, if I somehow failed to show you these lights, I'm afraid my life would be in danger. They are different though I must admit. They qualify for my unusal, and just something diffrent catagory. So, for my friend who shall remain nameless, the lights are by Gandia Blasco.

Clive Christian

I've had the priveledge of smelling this perfume and I must say it definitely does live up to the hype. Now owning a bottle is going to prove just a tad bit more complicated. I will say that it's on my goals list for 2008!

The house acquired its name after being granted the use of the royal crown by Queen Victoria as a mark of quality and excellence. Now, inspired by history and tradition, Clive Christian creates a new level of luxury perfumes, with exotic, natural ingredients that allure both men and women. The result for women:

Mmmmhhh! What Decade Was That?

It was the 1960's or somewhere there about. K, I've already gone crazy from seeing far too many Pucci Prints and too many dresses that look like they came straight from any of my Aunt's closets. I mean really, these dresses are not castoffs from a by-gone era they are actually fronting these dresses as new style. I've really tried to ignore this all season but today it had to come out. I thought I was stuck in some crazy kind of time warp until I reasoned anything that wasn't passed down to me or inherited I'll just get it this time around!

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Ok, you all are going to have to excuse me for today, alright? I'm going to make nice with all of my Aunts. What?, don't even, 'cause you know you're thinkin' the same thing!

Chanel Vice Heels

Women complain about their killer heels all the time, but stop when they see Chanel’s latest buzz-worthy shoes. Karl Lagerfeld seemed to be mocking women for their love-hate relationship with heels when he collaborated with a shoe designer to come up with the “Miami Vice” shoes.
Designed by Laurence Decade for Chanel, these gun shoes debuted at the Chanel resort presentation. They are lethally yours when they hit the stores next month.
