Bling H2O: Talk About Bloating From Water

On 09.13.11, In Luxury Food, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By ajaxblogging

Out of life necessities I think it would be safe to say that water is at the pinnacle. Without water we just could not survive, so yes, it is a valuable commodity. First world countries already live in luxury being able to get clean running water in their homes compared with the majority of the world that does not. We not only get water in our homes, we can purchase bottled waters with all sorts of sparkling, flavoring, and crystal enhancements. Who would have taken the idea of crystal enhancements quite literally to create Swarovsky embellished water bottles? Bling H2O did.

If you have ever wanted to showcase items in your kitchen this would be one of them. These bottles come as affordable as $21 and range all the way up to $2,600, depending on the type of rhinestone detailing and the inherent value of the gems. Even if you are not a fan of the water you get a valuable possession beautifully crafted. These frosted glass bottles are designed with the utmost care and some of the crystallized elements are hand placed on the more expensive products. Add this to your home’s bar for the party guests that need a little water after that last margarita. Having Bling H2O is definitely a way to live a life of luxury.

Botox Light

On 08.09.11, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By timd

I have been working a lot. It’s those kinds of times. Our companies are asking more of us but being busy is mostly a good thing and besides I am happy to have a good job. Still I can not help but notice these bags around my eyes and these creases in my forehead. I may be a little overworked and under rested but that doesn’t mean that I should start looking old this early in the game.

My expectations about my future never really included any sort of cosmetic surgery but since I am doing well and since I do think I deserve to treat myself I have been considering botox injections. I did not want to go all in on wrinkle removal but some light botox seemed like a good move. Smooth Med is offering a “Botox Light” service for a mere $530. It seems like kind of an amazing deal. My skin, and likely my wife will be happy about it too.

Some people like to make pronouncements about earning wrinkles but honestly I don’t want to look haggard. This deal seems like a great way to get some much needed youth injected into my face. People who work this hard deserve to look good.

How Much is Too Much for Jeans?

On 07.15.11, In Luxury Living, By Sarah

Don’t get me wrong. I have expensive denim. If you wear it every day and feel good about yourself in it, isn’t it worth it? But how much exactly. That’s the question we set out to answer.

Turns out, most of the money you pay for fine denim goes to advertising and marketing. A True Religion pair — the standard one with the white stitching– sells for $152 and costs about $50 to make.

Special distressing can also be expensive, especially if the luxury jeans are made in the United States, where they have to adhere to stringent environmental and work code laws. This also allows the denim to move faster, hitting the stores days after they’ve been produced, whereas in China it can take six to eight weeks. Jeans have to be priced at more than $200 to be made in the U.S.

So if your Sevens were made in China they’d probably be reduced in price by around 60%. That should make you think twice before dropping $300 on your next pair of jeans, unless, you know, they’re just the right color and wash and have rips and distressing in exactly the right places. Hey, if you’re going to buy luxury jeans, you might as well enjoy them.

Luxury Ceiling Fans

On 05.31.11, In Luxury Living, By KristenM

I know what you’re thinking. How in the world can you pair the words “luxury items” and “ceiling fans” together? Well I just did, so deal with it. If you can find designer furniture, you can certainly find designer ceiling fans. They are the chic way to stay cool. Who wants an ugly air conditioner sticking out of your windows? You’re living in a million dollar plus home. The only thing that should be on your windows are custom window treatments imported from a small town in Italy where the curtains are sewn by hand by someone’s grandmother.

Sadly, the ceiling fans are not made from gold or silver. They are not encrusted with diamonds and rubies either. But they are modern, elegant, and stylish. You can enjoy beautiful mahogany wood and pewter or weathered iron and pine. These ceiling fans are handcrafted and made with superior materials. The most expensive fan I’ve found so far is just over $1,000. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s certainly nicer looking than the ceiling fan in my kitchen with the broken light cord.

Ditch the portable air conditioner and enjoy staying cool the old fashioned way, with fans. You may sweat more, but at least you’ll sweat in style.

2011 has just started, but we are all pent up for what the year 2012 has in store for us. Looking at the success which the Toyota IQ has generated, the 2012 Aston Martin Cygnet was conceptualized, with its engine said to be equivalent to three Toyota IQs! My, what power it has! 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. It was designed to maximize space so that it will not appear stuffy inside, and at the same time lessen the weight, which is tailor made for city driving.

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.

LIMOUSINE ANYONE?

On 02.18.11, In Luxury Accessories, Luxury Living, Luxury Overdose, By Sarah

A wedding day is usually treated as one of the biggest events in a person’s life. 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.

Living Life on the Fffast Lane

On 02.16.11, In Luxury Living, By Sarah

Have you ever seen the movie, “Entrapment” where Sean Connery drove around in a Jaguar XK ? Have you ever dreamed of driving a Jaguar and proudly showing it off to your friends? It would be cool to have one, for sure! There will never be a dull moment when you have one in your own garage.

This year, the Jaguar XFR S-C Exclusive Package is set to be unveiled, with little details on its innovations being revealed by its manufacturer, probably to lend an air of mystery on it. Though it is expected to maintain its V8 engine under the hood, car enthusiasts may just be content with the current 510 HP since it is not expected to deviate from its present composition. This is why people are curious over what the new deal with the latest model. I guess we all have to wait for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show so we can check it out.
