It is small, and perfect for city driving. In fact, manufacturers have even suggested that even James Bond 007 himself would want to have this car because of its compact design yet fully loaded with power and different features. An example of living the life of luxury at a very minimal price, manufacturers of the 2012 Aston Martin Cygnet are very optimistic of it positive reception by the general public.

LUXURY LEATHER, LUXRY LIFESTYLE

On 02.21.11, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

For people attuned to the world of fashion, they know very well that if you own an authentic Louis Vitton product, you are a somebody, as these goods literally cost an arm and a leg. You would practically be the envy of the people you may meet along the way, and heads will easily turn when they notice that you have a Louis Vitton bag hanging from your arm. And who wouldn’t be? Not all people can afford it. Celebrities and people in high society are those who normally carry this around. But then, products such as these are made only from the finest leather, each design unique from the next. Thus, carrying this piece of leather around is actually a symbol of both luxury and elegant lifestyle and of course, fashion. It is then no wonder why people try to make cheap imitations of it, but no matter how good the imitation may be, nothing beats having an original Louis Vitton on your shoulder.

People usually allot a budget for a simple yet grand celebration, but more importantly, the bride usually wants to make a grand entrance, one which will be difficult to forget. Coming to the wedding in a limousine will surely capture everyone’s attention, and will be an entrance which will certainly be talked about. You see, limousines are not only vintage cars, they are actually luxury vintage cars, probably worth more than what they actually look like. Bring a limousine to a collector and you would probably be surprised at how much it is valued.

So if you want to make an impact and literally make heads turn, ride in style with a limousine, if your budget can afford it. After all, it is your big day and you certainly deserve nothing but the best.

What time have you got?

On 02.03.11, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

People are crazy about various things, I have a thing for watches. I have many a times wondered what would be the most expensive watch in the world and I always used to think it was a variant of Rolex, till I stumbled upon this one.

The most expensive watch is “Joaillerie 101 Manchette” made by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Jaeger-LeCoultre officially came into being in the present form of a company in 1937. The company is an amalgamation of a French and a Swiss.

These watches are made of 18 carat white gold and 576 diamonds. There are variants of this watch which can also contain 400 diamonds. The small square that you see in the picture is the actual watch. This watch is decorated by hand. The dial has a saphire crystal.

The Joaillerie 101 Manchette was worn by Marina Fois the French Actress at the premiere of the French film “Happy Few”

The Mystique of the Handmade

On 06.04.10, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Food, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

This week the British Advertising Standards Authority made Louis Vuitton remove their ads that say their bags and clothing are made by hand. In point of fact, these bags are now made by sewing machines, not with “needle, linen thread, beeswax, and infinite patience.”

Does it matter if a hand stitches these bags? Some machines can do it just as well. In the organic food market particularly, there is an attempt to discover a more human fruit, without the effects of machined fertilizers and non human love and care. Does it make a difference?

Ferrari’s engines are fine tuned by hand, and Persian carpets often have the flaws that define craftsmanship. Something that is made by hand should not necessarily be as important as the materials that go into making it. Yet the idea of a factory line churning out cars and carpets implies that there are millions of others just like them. We humans like to imagine that we, and everything we posses, is an individualized snowflake. The cheapness that is associated with machine manufacturing is not necessarily the case, but even so, something about the handmade product means that it was refined to be a certain way, even if it retains one or two imperfections.

The question is, what happens if machines start tricking us by making imperfect products?

Uniquely Customized Gifts For The Exquisite Person In Your Life

On 02.23.10, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Food, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

You don’t just buy a $50,000 fine watch for anyone — you buy it for someone that can enjoy this kind of pampering! Hey, not everyone is comfortable with money, or has it. But for those of you that do, you should really enjoy this post — it might even give you ideas for your next trip to buy a gift for someone!

Want a classical gift for your boss? You might want to consider something like an On The Rocks gift set. It’s affordable, but still an elegant gift which includes four petal cut glasses in a gift box. This can also be customized with a one letter monogram as well.

Next in line is the ever popular cigar box with an additional cigar cutter. My grandfather smokes cigars, and this is something he would simply love to have. I would choose a wooden box like oak or cherry with various “shelves” or compartments for the cigars. Also, when selecting cigar cutters it’s important to give preference to well-known brands such as St Dupont or Wenger. Already have a cutter? No problem, try for a humidor (personal), or a cigar lighter!

Alternatively, perhaps you know a foodie that would be really impressed with a personal pizza oven. These are not like those itsy-bitsy toaster ovens. You can actually fit two medium sized pizzas in the top portion of this oven. Many even come with a built-in pizza stone, which is going to give your creations the most amazing crust.

Luxury Watches for Women

On 02.04.10, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

When it comes to ladies watches, it’s easy to have expensive taste. If you’re looking for top design and materials, such quality is simply not going to be available for cheap. Still, investing in a fine watch every once in a while is certainly worth the expense. Let’s have a look at some of the most luxurious ladies watches on the market.

One of our favorites right now is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual timepiece, available in stainless steel or steel and white gold. This lovely specimen has all of the durability of a Rolex, along with the added elegance of a woman’s timepiece.

Next we have the Christian Dior Cristal watch, a must-have for watch wearers who enjoy a refined, sophisticated look. The Cristal features white diamonds set in a stainless steel case, incorporating a tasteful minimalism offset by a slight asymmetry.

For a watch that will really turn heads, consider the Harry Winston Lady Avenue timepiece, a tour de force in luxury, boasting an 18k yellow gold case and strap, and a total of 124 diamonds and 184 yellow sapphires. No wonder they call Harry Winston the King of Diamonds!
