Linea Pro Appliances knows how much girls love sparkly things and that bling isn't reserved for going out. Even the most time-consuming Monday morning grooming routine will get an instant glamor boost from a Linea Pro Swarovski Crystal C2 iron (how could you not feel fabulous as you use it?).

Linea is the only company in the world allowed to use Swarovski on a flat iron and the 2500+ crystals are all hand applied with a special heat-proof glue. The flat iron itself features extra long titanium plates, a PTFC heater (originally created by NASA), tourmaline-infused ceramic, the world's first digital cord temp control with auto shut-off, and Exclusive Nano-Silver that kills 99.9% of bacteria.

Swarovski's Cinema Spot Video

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Swarovski becomes the latest brand to create an elaborate short movie to showcase the brand. Following in the footsteps of luxury brands such as Dior, Gucci and the W Hotels , the crystal brand has debuted "Cinema Spot," a dreamy three-minute video that shows a beautiful young model cavorting in a fantasy of airborne crystals in several different landscapes. In most of these short films, the plot centers on romance, this one is a little different, the images are meant to tell the story of a woman's personal growth. In the film she meets another character, a young boy who hands her a Swarovski product, the Nirvana Ring, and the last images in the movie show her resting on a couch with the hand holding the ring placed on her now pregnant belly. The film is also meant to symbolize a voyage through Swarovski's history.

In addition to being available online through a Swarovski microsite, a modified version of the film is being shown on the Swarovski billboards at Times Square and Rockefeller Center in New York until just before Valentine's Day. Luxury Daily reports that the spot was developed by artist Bruno Aveillan.

Kiosque Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Although technically a neutral (there is no color here) this Kiosque Evening Bag by Swarovski will do anything except fade into the background or let some other accessory be the star of the show. It's tiny (just 4 3/4" x 3 3/16" x 9/16") but it's bright, featuring box styling and clear Crystal Mesh on every surface. The shoulder strap is rhodium-plated snake chain and it closes via a small silver logo-embossed magnetic closure on top.

Perhaps the most perfect holiday bag I've seen yet this season. $750

Swarovski Octea Sport White Ceramic Watch

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

Couldn't resist, could you Swarovski? The allure of making a white ceramic watch was just too powerful. White ceramic watches being highly in style and in demand, and with Swarovski's hit Octea Sport collection, it was just a matter of time before a white ceramic version was offered. Well it isn't a ceramic watch in the purely traditional sense with a ceramic case and bracelet. Swarovski in a sense is doing things their own way. This is more a matter of replacing their standard use of faceted crystals with facet cut pieces of white ceramic.

Therefore, you have a 39mm wide steel case with a faceted crystal in the bezel (which looks great). The case has ceramic elements built on it. The face has a white lacquered watch dial, and a white rubber strap with ceramic element built into the strap (which in other models would be crystal). Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA quartz movement. The Octea Sport is one of my favorite women's watches of today, and now with the almost all white tone will garner further appeal. Look for it in 2011 and probably still priced under $1000.

Perfect Holiday Shoes: Gina's Flamingo Satin Courts

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

The holiday season is so full of lights and sparkles that even people who don't usually go for glitzy fashion statements can find themselves feeling inspired to wear something a little more eye-catching. I'm one of those that generally avoids sparkles and sequins in my wardrobe but am totally in love with these Flamingo Satin Courts by Gina. In my opinion they're the perfect holiday shoe because they're not only festive and beautiful but will go with everything from an LBD to leggings and a cashmere sweater to an all-out New Year's Eve glam-fest ensemble. Featuring black satin, Swarovski crystal embellishments, and a black bow detail with a logo-embossed plaque, these shoes are a fun, flirty and elegant way to flaunt your holiday spirit. £635

Bring Some Bling to your Exercise Routine with Crystal-Studded Workout Machines

by McLean Robbins (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Sports, Luxury Shopping

We at Luxist like our bling - and are proud to let you know that now you don't just have to wear your diamonds, you can also work out with them. VibroGym UK has engineered their latest product with Swarovski crystals.

Originally reported over at luxury blog Lussorian, the VibroGym Diamond VG Evolution uses vibrating plates to force your muscles to work harder while performing the same exercises, thus exerting more energy and leading to increased calorie burn and weight loss. According to the product's website, it can even reduce cellulite - so it's totally worth the price ... right?

But what we're really talking about is a sore wallet - the Diamond VG Evolution is studded with more than 65,000 Swarovski Elements Crystals and costs nearly $70,000, or £43,500 to be exact. Sadly, the sunglasses needed to work out on this product without being blinded by the glare of the crystals are sold separately.

Filed under: Decor, Luxury Travel & Hotels, The Classicist, Architecture & Design

Following a recently completed $40 million facelift, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel has just unveiled its newly renovated Penthouse and Presidential Suite for the ultimate in movie star style. The Penthouse, beginning at $25,000 per night, is the largest hotel suite in Los Angeles and now one of the world's most expensive as well. L.A.-based architectural firm Barry Design Associates transformed the historic suites into modern, sophisticated spaces. They even throw in a Porsche. The Beverly Wilshire is a true piece of Hollywood history; the Italian Renaissance-style stone and marble building was completed in 1928 when the city had fewer than 18,000 residents, and its grand suites have played host to many of movieland's most famous faces over the decades.

The three-bedroom Penthouse offers guests 5,000 square feet of space. Positioned on the private top floor of the hotel's Beverly Wing it features floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and a wrap around balcony with sweeping views of downtown L.A. and the Hollywood Hills. An entry way welcomes guests with marble mosaic flooring and Swarovski crystal chandeliers, while a dining room offers seating for 12 people adjacent to a state-of-the-art designer kitchen with Michelangelo marble countertops and Miele appliances. The elegant master bedroom is highlighted by an antique mirror and silver leaf detailed bed frame along with huge walk-in closet finished in stained oak. The master bath is fitted with glass tiles, exotic stones, a marble soaking tub, dual steam and rain shower contains a light and music system. There's also a media room for private screenings of your latest blockbuster.

The two-bedroom Presidential Suite offers 4,000 square feet of space, entered through a spectacular grand foyer (above) with Corinthian columns and intricate crown molding designed when the Hotel first opened over 80 years ago. Located on the eighth floor of the hotel's original Wilshire Wing, it features sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and has been graced by numerous celebrities, legends and dignitaries over the years. The suite comes complete with its own living room and library as well, while the master bath is fitted with a soaking tub, steam shower for two and integrated televisions in the mirrors above the black lacquer vanity counters.

Judith Leiber Wildcat Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

It's another "love it or hate it" animal-inspired clutch by Judith Leiber, this time a gracefully crouching leopard covered from head to toe in hand-placed Swarovski crystals. Not a bag you can carry with just anything, this Wildcat Crystal-Embellished Clutch is probably best when left to shine and paired with all black, like a LBD. The few surfaces that aren't crystallized are goldtone hardware, including the push-clasp fastening and chain handle that can be hidden inside for true clutch fashion. It has leopard paws engraved on the base, gold leather lining the interior, and comes with a miniature designer-engraved vanity. $5,495

Napoleon LDH50 Limited Edition Swarovski Fireplace

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

There's something magical and relaxing about watching a fire burn, and in many homes the fireplace is designed to be the focal point so choosing the right design is paramount. This gas-powered contemporary design comes from Napoleon Fireplaces in Kentucky and boasts a remote control for starting the fire, controlling flame height, and adjusting the temperature but what really makes it special are the Crystallized Swarovski elements that fill the ember bed. Lit from above by the flames and from below by Napoleon's exclusive Crystalites system, the Swarovski elements reflect light beautifully in every possible direction and make the fireplace just as much a work of art as anything.

Available in both one and two-sided versions the limited edition LDH50 fireplace starts at $13,000.
