Alma Fortune Cup & Saucer

I'm not one to drink my tea out of a fancy cup and saucer, but some of them can be so pretty I can see how people end up collecting them -- if even just to display and never use. But regardless whether you want to actually sip from them or just look at them, these Alma Fortune Cups and Saucers would make a beautiful addition to any China cabinet. Kind of like reading tea leaves, the design is based on the Middle Eastern tradition called Tasseography (or the reading of a person's fortune in coffee grounds) but instead of grounds the fortune is forever captured in 22k gold. No two are alike. $95

The question is: do you find out what fortune you got?

Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma GM, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags, Celebrity Shopping

The Miroir line from Louis Vuitton is going to be a popular one this year as it represents a "best of" collection of bags with a new twist added to them. The line includes some of Louis Vuitton's most iconic purses, including the Speedy, Alma and Pochette, redone in metallic silver and gold PVC. Even though the official launch of the line was December 1st, we hear that there is still a significant waitlist for these pieces of arm candy. If, however, you're a celebrity or friends with one (like Kim Kardashian, pictured, is) your wait for a bag will be considerably shorter. Kim is holding the Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma GM ($2,100) in silver.
