Victoria Beckham and yet another Hermes purse

Victoria Beckham and yet another Hermes purse

Yes, it’s Victoria and another Hermes purse. I, for one, am not complaining! It’s been reported that Victoria owns ten Hermes Birkins. Doesn’t sound all that impressive, but that doesn’t take into account the Hermes Kellys, the Hermes JPGs, the Hermes Kelly Pouchettes, etc. Like this beautiful Hermes Longue (in Gold and what looks like Swift leather) she’s sporting with a brilliant red Marc Jacobs dress and 130mm Christian Louboutin Rolandos. You’d think anyone who ...

Brooke Shields Hermes Birkin!

Brooke Shields Hermes Birkin!

Birkin lovers will have to tell us the exact color of this Birkin that Brooke Shields has been toting around. I think it’s Vert, but I know there are variations of the shade when it comes to fab leathers and skins like the ones the house of Hermes churns out. I don’t really think of Brooke Shields as a high priced handbag kind-of-gal, but I suppose inside, we’re all that kind-of-gal…some of us are just missing the bank account. This ...

Christian Dior Blue Gaucho Tote

Christian Dior Blue Gaucho Tote

Dior does two things well: ladylike chic and punk chic. This one falls into the latter category. This Christian Dior Blue Gaucho Tote is a soft, squishy leather that has been treated to make it look rugged and a little beat up. Trust me, those aren’t dirt stains. This handbag looks fantastically rogue hanging from the crook of the arm a la Paris Hilton and her own blue version of this bag. The purse has ...

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Leather Clutch

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Leather Clutch

Brighten up your day with the ultimate indulgence: a Nancy Gonzalez purse. The designer’s Crocodile Leather Clutch has been reincarnated for spring to reflect the season’s passion for color and femininity. The light citrus hue is a great alternative to the usual shocking, in-your-face, primal yellow seen elsewhere, and the bow is a dainty touch that makes it different from the usual Gonzalez fare. It’s a beauty, and such a pretty choice for wearing with a fresh sundress and heels. ...

Victoria Beckhams Hermes Birkin

Victoria Beckhams Hermes Birkin

Say what you will about Victoria, I am still envious of the woman’s wardrobe — bags, shoes and all. Here she is, doing mommy duty for Brooklyn’s 9th birthday… In a Marc Jacobs dress, a 35cm rouge Hermes Birkin, 120mm Christian Louboutins and not a hair out of place. The Birkin, of course, is only one of many in Mrs. Beckham’s Hermes closet, which we know contains a bevy of delicious, candy-colored bags in all sizes and ...

Bottega Veneta Woven Butterfly Tote

Bottega Veneta Woven Butterfly Tote

No one delivers near perfection quite as consistently as Bottega Veneta. The new Woven Leather Butterfly Tote is simple, creative and elegant all at once. I’m not wild about the beyond understated cream color, but I can accept it for its versatility and lasting power. Perfect to pull out year after year, this roomy handbag is embellished with fluttering butterflies. Suede lining, rolled handles and that ever-exquisite woven leather complete the look. Available for $2820 at Saks.

Versace Medium Mirror Purse

Versace Medium Mirror Purse

Talk about swanky!

This Mirror bag from Versace is all sexpot, and I’m loving every drop of it. I’m not usually one for such glitzy pieces, but this handbag is glamour at its best. The combination of silver and gold seems to be an ongoing trend from designers, and it’s great because you can switch out your other metal accessories with ease. The chain handles and shiny exterior are partial to a trip to Vegas or Dubai. There are lots ...

It’s Getting Haute Chocolate in Here

It’s Getting Haute Chocolate in Here

If you thought the Serpentine Goblets were pricey, then let me introduce you to the world's most expensive dessert: Frrrozen Haute Chocolate. Created by the folks at the Serendipity 3 restaurant in NY, the Frozen Haute Chocolate â€" which is an expensive version of their famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate â€" rings up at $25,000. Yes, that is a five figure price tag on a single dessert.

The dessert itself is a mix of cocoa and milk, frozen ...

$130,000 Cake, Just Don’t Eat the Decorations

$130,000 Cake, Just Don’t Eat the Decorations

If you think wedding cakes are expensive, you should try comparing them to this Platinum Cake by Japanese pastry chef Nobue Ikara. Draped in platinum necklaces, pendants and pins, this white cake is worth over $130,000.

The cake itself is dedicated to several famous Japanese women, including actress Rinko Kikuchi (from Babel) and model Chie Kumasawa and was commissioned in order to entice women to buy more platinum jewelry.

Mikiko Ichikawa, of the Platinum Guild, said: "I think platinum ...

Would You Indulge In The World’s Most Expensive Desserts?

Would You Indulge In The World’s Most Expensive Desserts?

I'm not totally sure that I would pay $14,500 for a full vacation, but I do know that I couldn't justify that amount on a single dessert. Granted the Fortress Aquamarine does come with an 80-carat aquamarine gem, but still... If however, you find yourself with nearly 15 grand to spare, you'll be able to purchase this extraordinary dessert at Wine3 at the Fortress in Sri Lanka.

If 15k is a little out of your price range, then perhaps ...

Another Expensive Item You’ll Never Use (or Afford)

Another Expensive Item  You’ll Never Use (or Afford)

I have a hard time conceiving of a meal that would cost £100,000 ($205,000), let alone a pot that costs that much. However, German cookware firm Fissler doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Their 11-inch pot is studded with 200 diamonds and has solid gold handles. Fissler is insisting that the $205,000 pot can be used like any other saucepan - only I don't see why you would. That would be like saying you could use ...

Exercise in Excess: The French Laundry Part 3

Exercise in Excess: The French Laundry Part 3

After the first two parts of my French Laundry excursion, I've arrived at the final installment: the cheese & dessert. I must say, although I was ridiculously full at this point, I somehow managed to make room - which actually came as no surprise. The night we were there, Thomas Keller was actually at a big Food & Wine event in Aspen. However the man pictured, Corey Lee, the chef de cuisine, really took care of us. ...

Exercise in Excess: The French Laundry Part 2

Exercise in Excess: The French Laundry Part 2

Yesterday I walked you through the first part of my extravagant time at the French Laundry, and while everything I posted was definitely tasty, you guys haven't even seen the meat of the story (bad pun intended). Today I'll take you from fish course to beef and all the lovely bits in-between.

After the foie gras, the next course was either Filet of American Red Snapper with Summer Squash, San Marzano Tomato "Fondue," Cuttlefish and Arugula-Castelvetrano Olive Pudding (shown right) ...
