Not all of us have the courage to go under knife for the sake if beauty and neither we may have the bucks get the botox shot. That does not mean that we have no way we can seal our beauty. Platinum comes to our rescue, on time! In case you are wondering, let me assure you that real metal- platinum has been proven to have healing and restorative properties on skin. Taking a cue from here, La prairie has manufactured and launched the Cellular Cream Platinum Rare, which is considered to be the hottest topic of conversation among celebrities and socialites.

One can get a box of Cellular Cream Platinum Rare for $1,000. At this price for a small bottle, it is indeed a luxury brand and I am hoping that it must do some wonders to the skin. And let’s not forget how many times more a shot of Botox would be!

Recession does not quite seem to be a word the decadent ones recognize with. While most of the world is busy fighting for the basic needs of life, these bunch full splurge and how. Some are just born lucky not to worry about money be it during the Great   Depression or any other recession for that matter. And there are enough smart designers to rake it in from them. When we go ahead and purchase expensive products only the rich get richer. The famous designer Francis Hooper intends to do just that saying his collections at the Air New Zealand Fashion Week  were inspired to make women spend more on luxury items.

The best of the lot had to be the hand-sewn Swarovski crystals in a collection named “There is No Depression” costing around a whopping $33,000 and must help you ease of the burden off your bank accounts. It’s no wonder couture outfits like these after making an appearance or two on the ramp and fashion news remain pretty much unused in the collector’s wardrobe.

Making a signature look with such outfits could be an idea worth considering here. Riche riches keep living their fantasies and these designers to come up with more luxury products encouraging it.

When I heard about a shoes selling for a grand sum like this, I automatically assumed that it has to be something like Cinderella’s glass slippers that her fairy god mother gifted her. Little did I imagine that it would be a little Dorothy Gale’s shoes instead! Judy Garland, in the timeless classic The Wizard of Oz walked around in a pair beautiful ruby red shoes. The shoes look eye catching enough ot catch the attention of any one, believe me. They will be on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue, New York if you plan to go for window shopping atleast. In total there are 5 pairs that were worn by the actress in the movie.

They are expected to be sold for over $1000. Why not go ahead and try these shoes on the way Cinderella did it, may be it will fit you well and will become yours forever!

Well, I am not against luxury products but the only criteria is that the thing should be worth the price. For a regular crocodile bad, I am never going to spend $22,900. But that is exactly what Gucci expects us to do. Now let me ask them, just because I have money do you think I will buy any over-priced thing? Or perhaps I am being over critical of this triangular crocodile pelham shopper bag. The bad does look fantastic to me but not worth the price, to be sure. It’s available in crocodile dark green having braided straps, a tab-snap closure, having useful zipped pockets.

The size of the bad is 19.3″ x 5.1″ x 11″, large enough to accommodate it’s an attractive and generously sized bag but I must aevery woman’s need. Apart from the ouch!, hurting price tag of $22,900, the bag seems to be perfect!

The hullabalo created by men of woman being addicted to shopping is an overt sign of their being envious and a way to hide their unfashionable personae. But ask we woman what all pain we undergo to meet our shopping spree. And upon entering a designer showroom, the aching thought of trying outfits after chasing an unending queue outside trial room almost kills us.

But still hope infuses life into us and we finally rush into the changing room. But within no time, we find ourselves amidst rows of designer dresses and this time picking quite a few with a strong conviction that time we would surely fit in one of those. But no….hot dogs, pasta and other junk food we have had in past is now showing its colors demanding us to look for a size bigger than the last tried. And the process continues until we could manage to find our kind of dress.

Will you believe me that now you don’t have to follow this routine and dull exercise at the same time assuring that you are investing $$$$ for a right outfit. Yes, this would be soon possible via virtual mirror that is expected to shun the need of a trial room.

The ‘Virtual mirror’ enables you see yourself wearing the to-be-picked outfits without even putting off your clothes. Here you go: Put on the T-shirt given by the magic mirror machinist and then opt the design by inserting the particular design insignia on the T shirt. The exhibit then trails the movement of the wearer and records the design of the new attires via its logo and portrays the outlines precisely on the wearer to give the mirror-iamge of what he/she is wearing. Currently, the Virtual Mirror is finding it difficult to produce a pragmatic inkling of T-shirts, shirts or sweaters in an implicit mirror. The technology doing the needful uses composite algorithms to generate 3D images in real-time giving the delusion that the wearer has really put those clothes on.

The rising crime rate in the world can be seen as a reason for Miguel Caballero’s having deep pockets. Engaged into designing bulletproof clothing for past 16-years, the Colombian designer maintains its charm in high-security fashion by unveiling various revolutionary offerings. With all efforts invested to have a security shield without missing on style, Miguel lately unveiled his novel collection detailing blazers, slickers and suede jackets, some sated with a reassuring stab-proof coating at his London department store Harrods. The collection aims at offering three levels of ballistic defense to its proud holders.

Few of the apparels include a polo shirt that can endure a whack from a 9-mm handgun valued at $7,500 whilst another version costing $9,800 shields wearers from mechanical weapons, counting mini-Uzis. If figures do make a difference to you then it generated sales of $9 million in 2007. The Caballero-secured clothing is now becoming the choice of high-profile clients i.e. King Abdullah of Jordan, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and actor Stephen Segal. Mind you, the elite clan loves security and style as they have a heart to spill over the hidden cost involved.

While two years back, Mulberry was on the cards of trendsettlers with its offering of the original Bayswater Bag but little hint was thrown about its Mulberry engaged in delivering its mirrored edition. It is gaudy, dazzling, vivid and hence a diva with a bold personality can only do some favor to this creation. The outer face of the Mulberry Mirrored Bayswater Bag comes layered with gold mirrored leather, the handbag doesn’t compromise at the ordinary features of a bag detailing the flap closure with clasp enabling you to lock the tiny bolt that comes expediently concealed in the pocket appeal that dangles off the grip. But like I have been saying no piece of luxury comes cheap and following this, the handbag is retailed for $1,595.

You are wrong if you think that only revealing and trendy silhouettes gets an invitation to undergo a blingy treatment and within no time evolve in their shining new avatar. Whilst Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong layered with countless diamonds may seem a confrontation to my argument but the news about World’s Most Expensive Abaya, a traditional form of Islamic dress stands high to defend it.

Bruce in association with Crosley Diamonds based in London has unveiled this luxury called World’s Most Expensive Abaya.
