Swarovski Crystals will take the diamonds’ place and the price tag will sensibly downgrade to a three figures sum. The name becomes Millionairess and will be available for $595. Here’s Natalia Vodianova as photographed by Mario Testino to represent for the Millionairess Swarovski shoes. With shoes like that, who needs clothes, huh?

Blancpain’s Saint – Valentin Chronograph is a very limited edition watch especially created for the loving occasion. 14 such fine pieces were made, each in white alligator leather straps, white case with 2,95 encrusted diamonds, heart shaped ruby, three hearts subdials on the mother of pearl dial and one red heard shaped seconds hand (hand painted with a feather). If that won’t secure a loving Valentine’s Day, then your pure and undivided love will certainly not!

The prestigious watch making brand found Mad Men, the TV series, so inspiring that they decided to issue this very limited edition of their Jaeger – LeCoultre Reverso watch.

Disney Eco Fish armchair from Cappellini. It’s a happy chair, whimsical and playful designed by Satyendra Pakhale in 2010 and manufactured from multi colored recycled plastic. It could be yours for just $2,1110.40 (from $2,638). It’s a great accent chair, in a minimalist fashion, how I love them best! Too bad about the price tag. But hey! Who said a girl can’t daydream, huh?

Rumor has it there’s going to be some serious competition for Missoni’s Bugaboos soon: Fendi has teamed up with Inglesina, an Italian baby products label. Together they created a baby carrier, a stroller and a pram, all in cream, mahogany, blue with Fendi’s F logo all around. As we can all agree, the wee ones can’t tell the difference. They’re brand – blind, practically. So, like a personal curiosity (and because, like a mom, I always favored the baby’s/kid’s comfort and the level of specialization in baby products before brands and labels), I’ll pop this question for all the parents out there: do you really think a designer baby stroller means your baby’s stroller is more comfortable and/or safer? Or it’s just a question of fashion and personal preferences? (and if so, which designer, what reputed brand would you like to have around your wee one/s?)

At a recent auction that took place in Dallas, Texas, a particular Hermes Birkin bag made from red alligator skin and equipped with precious hardware (18k white gold paved with diamonds) was sold for no less than six figures (I refuse to write that price again, it’s scandalous!). Someone must have been on top of Santa’s “Good” list! (wink)

It’s the product of an architect from Georgia, Irakli Kiziria who intends to launch the so called “LV product” to benefit the Foundation for AIDS Research. Although a noble initiative, I’m certain that neither these pictures nor whoever tries to spread the word will get away for more than a couple of days. The LV people will get word about this LV condom thing and they’ll ask us all to (at least) take the pictures down. So consider yourselves warned and do take advantage of this while it lasts! The LV condom, my daaahlings, is priced at $68! Enjoy! (evil laugh)

Cappellini Proust Geometrica Armchair was designed by Alessandro Mendini after a piece first created in 1978 for the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara. Notice the hand carved and hand painted wooden frame? It’s really a joyful piece of furniture, the kind we love. And if I’m not mistaken, it could be a perfect DIY project for those vintage, sparkle-less armchairs, couldn’t it? Who dares? Anyone?

While it’s still unclear why, how, and most importantly who is responsible for this, appx $400,000 worth of Louis Vuitton goods were stolen by a gang of five masked thieves at the Paris Roissy – Charles de Gaulle airport.

Luckily no one got hurt (or at least that’s what we’re told)…

Just in case this doesn’t add up – Marc Jacobs is the creative director for Louis Vuitton… Marc Jacobs was stolen, now Louis Vuitton.. What’s next? (photo via; photochopping courtesy Stylefrizz)
