The box alone looks amazing! I don’t even want to think about the cherry blossom goodies inside! For those who don’t share the sweet tooth but do care about cherry blossom, there’s also a matching candle available for this anniversary edition project! Now excuse me while I go practice my macarons making technique! Imma nail the secret one day! One day… (but until that day, let me take another look at Laduree’s perfect macarons and practice some daydreaming instead!)

However – leather coffee cup sleeves from Jimmy Choo? Come on? For the fashionista who has everything but is always on the run, here’s the perfect Christmas Gift from Jimmy Choo! Do you know anyone who’d be happy to own at least one of Jimmy Choo’s leather coffee cup Rika reusable holders? (ha! Reusable! This little word can even make you forget you’re spending $165 for a coffee cup sleeve!)

As I drink lots of tea every day, I really appreciate this Mint design (from Maja Matas, Kresimir Miloloza and Jozo Matas). It needs two people to function and that alone is a wonderful idea, since Christmas is all about sharing with your loved ones! I’d love to share a coup of Christmas Tea with you!

Were you familiar with this fine line of tableware coming from your favorite orange label? Hermes never ceases to amaze me! What I thought would be a nice passing note on luxury and style turned out to be a heavy topic since Hermes has an entire table section on their online boutique. I kept clicking away, looking through every item, being more and more swept off of my feet by the beauty of the objects and the delicacy of the details! (hit the jump to convince yourselves or click here for the gallery!)

I wish I could say more about these beauties, however, Hermes doesn’t offer too many details save for the names and the prices. And if you ask me, a simple picture of almost any of the exquisite table service pieces suffices to count me in their pocket! I’m sold! They’re so beautiful! Everything I’d expect from Hermes! Balcon du Guadalquivir, Bleus D’Ailleurs, Cheval d’Orient, Fil d’Argent, Jardin des Orchidees, Les Maisons Enchantees… You name it, I’d take it! Do you have a favorite? (I voluntarily left the prices out of the story, they would’ve ruin the pleasure – wink)

Hermes For Your Table

Of course she couldn’t be otherwise but a fully gadgeted, extremely resourceful – after all, the movie was directed by her husband. Now for a different Milla, pick up a copy of this year’s (well, technically next year’s) Campari Calendar. She’s looking all couture-ish and gorgeous, completely mastering the modeling task like any other action packed movie she’s starring in! (hit the jump to discover the images; click here for the gallery!)

Also featured in the Campari calendar, the years before, were Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba and Salma Hayek among others. Beautiful Milla was photographed by Dimitri Daniloff according to the calendar’s theme “It’s the End of the World, Baby!”. Oooooh! (forehead slap) Now I see what’s Milla doing there – she’s the one to either save or sink them all! I’m sure Anderson must be there somewhere!

Dame Viv’s limited edition Chivas couture coats will only dress a limited number of bottles which is as sad as it is good news – I would’ve loved to get my hands on one of those charming Vivienne Westwood Chivas bottles! The Union Jack print is one of the most associated with Vivienne Westwood’s designs, not to mention that the bottle, dressed up like that, looks too pretty to dress down. Chivas, however, is not at its first couture collaboration, being previously tied to Christian Lacroix in 2009 and Alexander McQueen in 2008.

Her latest, a magazine feature in Ladygunn magazine, associated with a normal interview, modest and full of common sense logic would’ve been enough to relight the Mischa Barton love fire. Sadly, Mischa is an unstable young woman, drifting in the sea of success trying to get on board of any trend boat. Which brings us to her Tyler Shields photo shoot. Where Mischa is dressed to impress a serious chunk of raw meat.

Aside from the dangerous parallel which can be easily drawn between Tyler Shields and Terry Richardson (oddly similar names, huh?), Mischa Barton’s meaty enterprise is so cheap, ridiculous and distasteful that even PETA rose up to protest! I’m appalled by the grotesque of the photo shoot and if it’s the result of a longer than a blink thinking process, then I’m afraid there’s no hope for Mischa after all! (and no, turning people’s stomach upside down isn’t as artful as some may think)

Look at these images and re read Mischa saying how she refuses projects so she could choose something representative “which identifies me as the actor I want to be. I’m in this funny phase in my career, where it’s super important to not do a project unless I’m super passionate about it” How is this meaty project falling into your passions, Mischa? (also – please check with your dentist, smoking pot doesn’t help your teeth)

Yeah (drooling) so Starbucks is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Happy Birthday! For the occasion, Starbucks has a little fashion surprise for all of us. A series of Designer tees signed by the CFDA / Vogue finalists Alexander Wang, Sophie Theallet and Billy Reid. It sounds too good to be true, right? Wait till you see the price tag: $85 for each t-shirt! How insane is that? Must be all the caffeine, huh?

Maybe some of you appreciate and even want to wear (or imitate through DIY) the original creations? Why not, after all? More vehemently we try and deny Lady Gaga’s influence on fashion and things style, her attitude may be catching up with everyone.

Lady Gaga wearing the infamous meat dress is still a burning image in my head and regardless of how much I want to reassure myself and believe it won’t happen again, Nicki Minaj sporting a golden chain necklace with a Pink Fried Chicken wing hanging on it is not a step in the right direction. Is it? Onchmovement seem to be pretty serious about this kind of jewelry design. They’ve got a Pink Fried Chicken Drumstick Necklace and some Bacon Jewelry pieces too – check them out after the jump!

The closest you can get of reproducing Nicki Minaj and her crazy pop look is by sporting the very same Chicken Wing necklace. However, since the word is spreading fast around the internet and the said necklace is on sale, you may want to change your option and go for a Pink Deep Fried Chicken Drumstick Necklace. It’s the same price, also on sale: $79.99.

If you’re a bacon fan, you’re lucky! You can match your bacon necklace with a fancy bacon bracelet and consider yourself a vegan too. The bacon is actually handmade, 100% animal free material, sculpted and painted manually. The bracelet is $32 and the necklace is $36. Also: if your guilty pleasure identifies in a slice of pizza, you can always declare yourself by wearing a $70 Pizza Necklace!

Oh, and as a special bonus, because you lasted this long: the Meat Necklace and the Meat Cuff! Yes, as inspired by Lady Gaga’s meat dress, the meat – lace necklace and its matching cuff are made from animal free material, also sculpted and painted manually. Both the necklace and the cuff can be yours for $70 each. Hungry much?

Dare To Wear Fried Chicken, Bacon And Pizza Jewelry By Onchmovement?

Well, daaahlings, the said Pink (handmade) Fried Chicken Wing necklace is now on sale and you can have it for just $79,99 (downmarked from $100)! Or you can just get creative with a bucket full of Kentucky Fried Chicken crispy wings and make all your fiends happy! (you’ll have to accompany the necklace with a picture of Nicki Minaj wearing it, otherwise they’d think it’s some kind of magic ritual, I’m sure!) So? Do you dare to wear the Pink Fried Chicken Wing necklace?
