Alexander McQueen Faithful Bootie
The Faithful Collared Bootie ($1245) is also set in nude and is accented with his signature biker jacket collar inspired fold-over that we have have seen in many of his accessories. Hanging from the functional exposed zipper is a gold logo engraved skull tab and decorative stitching at the heel. McQueen's 5" heeled open toed booties would pair well with slim fitting cargo pants or matchstick corduroys.

Breguet unveils the exquisite Classique Grande Complication Reveil Musical Alarm timepiece
Now back to the timepieces most interesting and appealing feature, the musical alarm. As mentioned before, this is achieved by a patented application of a music-box mechanism principle. The traditional music-box cylinder is replaced by a disc carrying the pins which alternately acts on the 15 metal teeth of the comb.
A metallic glass membrane engine-turned by hand amplifies the frequencies required to emit the tune, while numerous openings drilled in the gold case protecting the membrane ensure optimum sound transmission. The watch plays its tune when the user presses a push piece positioned at 10 o’clock, or at a given time that is pre-set by the alarm function.
The Alarm on/off indication is located in a circular window between 9 and 10 o’clock on the dial while the power reserve indication is visible through an aperture at 3 o’clock. The watch plays its tune either by the user pressing a push piece positioned at 10 o’clock, or at a given time that is pre-set by the alarm function.
A beautiful timepiece, it has definitely hit the right chords with me.

Judith Leiber's Cupcake fine-crystal clutch looks delicious
I love cup cakes and muffins, even more so when they are inspired by my favorite fashion brands; dieting constrains are definitely not for me. But if you are figure conscious, you will have to settle for something with fewer calories, but you can opt for more bling. If you don’t really like the colorless version of the bejewel cupcake bag, go for something chirpier. And Judith Leiber will be more than happy to comply with the Cupcake fine-crystal clutch. The multicolored crystal-embellished cupcake clutch by Judith Leiber is said be hand-painted, and features a gold-tone chain-link strap which you can hide inside the clutch too and a gold-tone push-clasp with a ring. The insides are lined in gold leather while the exteriors come with a delightful Strawberry pink color. The 6 inch wide, 4 inch high and 3 inch deep clutch with a 4 inch handle drop is priced at$7,972.
A €40,000 diamond-studded hood to calm the falcon but excite the owner
The well-heeled are known to pamper their pets and shower them with diamonds to declare their love for them. Since the falcon is much admired and favored by Arabs, an Italian jewelry company Tiroler Goldschmied has designed diamond-studded falcon hoods to woo UAE’s wealthy falcon-loving folks. All set to be unveiled at the upcoming Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, these unique bejeweled hoods will add glamour to the falcons for a price. Ranging from about €5,000 to €40,000 ($6,500 - $53,400), each hood is handcrafted to maintain exclusivity. Ideally meant to calm the falcons, these ornamented hoods will also allow the owners to flaunt their wealth. After all a (decked up) pet is an extension of the owner’s personality.
The process of making these hoods is time consuming and takes about a month’s time to shape out one precious hood. Though the company has kicked off this service a year back, till now they have just one Netherland customer on their client’s list. They are hoping to add many Middle East clients’ names on to this list soon.

Strip House, the famed New York steakhouse that opened in 2000 on East 12th Street just off of Fifth Avenue, is a nominee for a Luxist Award for Best Steakhouse.
The restaurant's name is a double entendre that relates to both the delectable strip steaks as well as its seductive, yet sophisticated decor.

Executive Chef John Schenk is renowned for his culinary skills and is often seen on The Today Show among other national news programs. The menu, which Schenk keeps fresh, features select cuts of beef that are charred to perfection accompanied by decadent sides, an extensive wine list and delectable desserts. Be sure to try Strip House's signature New York Strip Steak accompanied by the delicious creamed spinach with black truffles followed up by its famous 24-layer chocolate cake.

Malte Moon Phase Power Reserve
Vacheron Constantin si-a demonstrat inca o data clasa prin noul ceas - Malte Moon Phase Power Reserve. Prezentandu-se in carcase de 39mm x 49 mm realizate din aur alb sau rosu de 18K, modelul pastreaza traditiile casei genoveze. Sectiunea periferica prezinta o textura verticala, orele au fost aplicate cu aur, iar marcajele 12 si 6 au fost scrise cu cifre romane.
De asemenea, a fost aplicat in aur simbolul Vacheron Constantin - crucea malteza. Nu ma arunc in detalii prea multe, pentru ca nu sunt specialist, dar un lucru pot sa-l spun - ar arata bine la mana!

Biliard pe patru roti
Gusturile sunt subiective, iar visul unui om poate fi cosmarul altuia. Sa luam, de exemplu, acesta masa de biliard. A fost realizata in mod special pentru Unique Autosports South, showroom-ul din Miami, de catre Florida's Hurricane Custom Billiards. Deoarece Unique inseamna auto, Hurricane a realizat masa de biliard din otel cromat, pe patru jante cu anvelope low-profile drept postament. Au acoperit-o cu piele neagra si au adaugat un sistem de iluminare capabil de a reproduce 1.000 de culori. Iar daca acest model nu este pe placul tuturor, ramane, totusi, o dovada ca Hurricane Custom Billiards este capabila de a realiza o masa de biliard pentru diferite gusturi, chiar daca unele sunt ma ciudate.
