Since I cant make it live, I will be glued to my idiot box and be a couch potato on September 21 when the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are out. In case if you have not guessed it already, I will do so because it gives me a hang of the hottest and the latest in the fashion industry.

For instance, I will get a glimpse of the Platinum Clutch designed by Cate Adair. And why would I have not a special interest in it? After all, Adlair is the famous costume designer for Desperate Housewives.

Priced a little more than $500,000, this is a little piece of desire that most of us can sling on our shoulder! Those of us living in NY can check it out at Kwiat’s new store on Madison Avenue.

iPhone, the unprecedented device by Apple, is being launched with another exclusivity factor. Continental Mobiles, well known for its range of luxurious cell phones, has pimped the 3G, 16GB white luxury i-Phone with Pigeon Blood Red rubies and white diamonds. Exclusively and intricately handcrafted, this piece of art comes from England for £3099 (about $5,550). Though this isn’t the first union of gemstones with the much-hyped 3G iPhone, it will certainly be leap forward of the earlier versions. This adorned Apple cell phone comes in a sophisticated briefcase that promises a shield to this delicate gadget. And that’s not all! This security comes in a variety of elegant shades to choose from especially the Piano finishes that are inspired by the graceful curves of the Steinway Grand Piano. This seems to be a melodious twist!

Trendy and chic as the iPhone may be, it still vies for your haughty touch (no pun intended!) and dressing it up in glam-style is the only option. So here’s technology coming hand-in hand with the pompous flair.

When the “rubies on phone” 3G iPhone was launched, people like me were happy to look at it from a distance. I say it because I cannot handle too feminine look of the handset, does not gel well with the way I carry myself. If you have been reading my posts, you would have guessed that my personality is that I prefer subtle to loud, under stated to gaudy. The new black and white diamond 3G iPhone is something that I would love to carry with me even if I am going to a corporate meet or to attend my grand uncle’s funeral! Sorry to use the expression but it really bugs me every time my sister takes the SIM out of her ruby phone and inserts in some appropriate handset, whenever we have to go for some mourning.

I certainly do not mind paying £3599 ($6,500) for this little useful device!

In a world where nothing comes fro free, it’s truly exciting when things like diamonds are given away for free. Not just any diamonds, but diamonds encrusted on a Canon shot. And the much hyped added perk is that you will receive it from none other than the tennis legend pretty lady- Maria Sharapova!
Yes, Canon has roped their long time brand ambassador for giving away five diamond-covered Canon PowerShot Elph cameras in an invitation-only event at “Canon Center Court”. The event took place on August 20 where Maria came in a white and brown dress looking as stunning as ever. The value of the cameras is around $12,000 each, which will make it one of the costliest cameras ever made. The lucky winner will be declared on October 20 on the Powershot website.
There’s only one tip I have for Canon. The winners will get toppings alongside the cake if you let them click Ms. Sharapova as their first image shot!

Diamonds are known for its spell bounding beauty, spirited resistance, devout purity and seamless personality. And if you are fortunate enough to don your gadgets and must-carry thingamajigs with such precious stones then go ahead to change your current model with diamond encrusted Nokia N95. Designed and developed by Continental Mobiles, it doesn’t enjoy an edge over Amosu’s diamond bathed BlackBerry edition but surely short fall short from attaining the tag of a magnum opus.

The handset sports a silky Sterling silver front panel layered with 4.42ct of brilliant-cut, VS1 eminence, color G-H, diamonds mined via natural form, and to my much surprise each model is customized by an artistic craftsmen. This elite offering from the house of Continental Mobiles address a new meaning to the world of technical merit in synergy with screaming beauty of diamonds with a retail price of £10,000.

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. Abaya, the simplest form of dressing accepted by Islamic religion was picked by British couture designer Bruce Oldfield. The bejeweled Abaya features 4,668 diamonds weighing 359.7 grams of white gold. Bruce in association with Crosley Diamonds based in London has unveiled this luxury called World’s Most Expensive Abaya.

They say the deluxe Abaya is expected to be sold off at The Gulf Luxury Trade falling coming month for $350,000. The sales generated would be donated towards the relief charity “Islamic Relief.” Popularly known electronic violinist and former model Linzi Stoppard is the proud foremost person to don it.
