Presence of the expensive jewel-studded coins available in the market is common but usage of gold-coins as a fabric of a dress celebrates the non-commonality. At recently held fashion show at the Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, models added elegance to the ramp by flaunting dresses loaded with gold coins.

Equipped with almost 1,500 Austrian gold coins, the coins-embedded within a full-length dress weighing 10 kg and two jackets weighing up to 21 kg were prized at more than $1.2 million. I am sure such dresses are restricted to ramp only as their very advent on to the streets would invite thieves. The calculated sum of the coins embedded on to the dress obliges the dress with a price tag of $233,000 (26,900,000) and jacket would fetch $574,000 (66 million yen), if ever eyes auction.

This is one of the neckpiece that is not restricted to any season. Words fall less to describe its beauty and neither do I have the courage to express it as it may seem exaggeration to you. So, let see if facts can work out for you. Stimulated by the affluent blue oceanic hues, this necklace has a graceful marquise-form briolette that incarcerates the light like a chandelier crystal. Its 18-carat floral overlook can be adjusted manually with white topaz. Its 16″ chain holds two-long blue topaz crystals. It is a perfect bliss in cold winter days, when you are sitting with your beloved and feel the warm ocean breeze with closed eyes. For such an ornamental design, one need not think while dropping mere $3,200. Am I right or am I right?

Broke again! But with no regret as I end up buying any luxurious accessory for my Dog. At times, I do wonder if my desire for buying pricey thingy products for my dog would ever end. While earlier, the package was full of Rescue jackets for dogs, diamond-coat by Vivienne Westwood, pricey sofa for your dog and not to miss the Hello Kitty doghouse for $31660, today I came across elite dog collar residing at I love my dogs.

Identified as Amour Amour, it is a 52-carat diamond dog collar demanding a braking sum of $1.8 million. The collar is weaved with 1600 hand-set diamonds with a seven-carat, D-IF, brilliant cut center diamond. Among other affordable dog-collars are Juene Cheri, Amour de la Mer, L’Etoile, and Cheri at a retail price of $280,000 to $480,000.

Bracelets have adorned the multi-functionality feature by going beyond their ornamental image to catch the gaze of geeks. Earlier we have introduced you to a bracelet-bag and now featured above is a bracelet that is not controlled by remote but rather is a remote itself. Now you can play with the channels of TV, VCR with the motion of your bracelet.

The feminine design of the accessory makes it exclusive for women. The designer behind this creation is of Chloe Fung. Well, I am illiterate about its functionality but can guess that few of its buttons are touch-screen based while others offers tangible feel. My only worry is that should fit in the budget of the people hunting for a unique remote and should not try to beat the pricey bracelets dominating the market and auction houses.

I reside in an earthquake-prone zone called Seattle, the most unpredictable place with little before-hand preparations and no compromise to luxury! But can luxury buy safety? Yah, I think it can as during unfortunate times even your pet can be your savior. Lately on my visit to the Security and Safety Trade Expo in Tokyo, I came across a rescue jacket and raincoat designed for your either a pt dog or cat. Huh, don’t mistake it by identifying it as a mere designer jacket as its functionality is beyond tour imagination.

Against the previous Diamond-coat designed for pet dogs, this rescue jacket carries around 13 emergency goods in its kit along with food and water that can be used in a possible disaster and would cost you $242 to $432. I am sure you would consider this as an investment rather than expenditure.

“White Diamond,” is Kylie Minogue latest movie and to make her presence felt at the premiere of the movie while staying tight-lipped was not difficult for her. The celebrity was found clad in diamond festooned cream gown designed by Dolce & Gabbana. Diamonds worth £500,000 were catching eyeballs making Kylie the queen of the evening. The 39-year-young Australian singer walked on the red carpet in Leicester Square.

The short and sweet 11-minute documentary is directed by her personal stylist William Baker and the plot of the story revolves around her return after undergoing the breast cancer treatment for nine-long-months. It also records an exciting period of Kylie break up with French actor Olivier Martinez. This movie can be seen as her comeback to the industry with the upcoming album ‘X’, expected to be released before Christmas.

In ‘2 Hearts’, Kylie maintains her charm by singing into diamond-encrusted skull microphone. I wonder from where she managed to get this gleaming microphone. Is Damien Hirst aware? Now is the time to give some real feast to your eyes:
