Damask Curved Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


Pretty, glitzy, and a little mesmerizing if you stare at it too long, the Damask Curved Clutch by Judith Leiber is another one of her creations that indulges to the max in Austrian crystals. Leaves and a floral pattern are created in simple indigo blue and white (well, clear actually), with silver hardware and a push-button closure on the very top of the dome-shaped clutch. In Leiber's usual fashion this is a very small bag, measuring only 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" x 2 1/2", but it's so flashy if it was any bigger it would be bordering on obnoxious. $3,795

Judith Leiber's Latest in Sparkling Pillboxes

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Judith Leiber has a variety of styles but one of the most notable is her penchant for cutesy objects and animals in crystal-covered handbag and pillbox form. Although the little miniaudieres are certainly unique and beautiful, it can be difficult for some women to imagine themselves carrying around a large sparkling animal or baked good (cupcake purse anyone?) as a handbag to a party. Nicely, if you like the look but aren't really looking to commit yourself completely why not go for a smaller (but just as appealing) option? Judith Leiber pillboxes are available in every shape from a bright red heart to a little dog and (my personal favorite) a "Prince Charming" toad. See the gallery below (or judithleiber.com) and feel free share your favorites in the comments.

Loubinight Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags, Shoes


Although this creation by Christian Louboutin is a handbag, the Loubinight Satin Clutch still manages to channel the high heeled shoes with signature red soles that he's so famous for designing. Bright, vibrant green satin on the outside and rich, 'signature red' satin on the inside, this clutch's most endearing feature is the darling pair of miniature crystal Louboutin heels (you can tell because they have red soles!) that stand on the bag's top and double as the clasp.

If you're one of those who just can't get enough shoes, then this is the perfect way to wear more than just one pair at a time. $960

Azzaro Upgrades the Ankle Boot with Crystal Heels

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes


The ankle boot is a big trend this fall and Azzaro's version is sure to make you feel like a princess. These Enchantment boots look fairly classic in black suede from the front, until you notice the subtle crystal trim lining the almond-shaped toes, which leads your eyes around back to the 4 1/2" heels covered thick with luxe shimmering crystals! You'll need very few other accessories to make an outfit complete when wearing these beauties, and you're guaranteed to feel like a million bucks. $2,135

Arbre de Vie Crystal Minaudiere, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags


Totally beautiful anytime of the year, I think this Arbre de Vie miniaudiere featuring a leafless tree branching out in red Swarovski crystals is the perfect accessory for this September, and the rest of the autumn months to come. Created by designer Sylvia Toledano it's actually meant to represent the 'tree of life,' and the miniaudiere comes with a matching crystal-encrusted pen and silver chain. There isn't a speck on the outside that isn't covered in Austrian crystals, and the interior is lined with polyurethane. $1400

Crystal Piggy

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —


It may look like a piggy bank, but this Crystal Piggy is more likely to help you to spend money than save it. Hand-formed and hand-painted, this chubby little pig would make a darling keepsake for a little girl's room or for anybody who collects pigs. Clear crystals form his tubby silhouette, with pink accents marking his ears and tail. I'm not sure why they didn't just go ahead and make him a bank for coins, but he's still a cutie. Put together with traditional Mexican techniques he measures a generous 12" tall and sells for $1285.

Over 60,000 crystals adorn the Topshop dress worn by Kate Moss to the Swarovski Fashon Rocks fashion show and concert. The dress, which is now up for auction, is similar to a 1920's Flapper style cocktail length dress in Moss's personal collection and features hand-beaded Swarovski crystals in shades of silver, gray, and green. The auction started October 19th and runs through the 28th with proceeds going towards the Princes' Trust Charity. No word yet on where bidding stands but the dress is estimated with a retail value around £40,000.

Swarovski Contemporary Lighting

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor


Swarovski crystals are all over everything these days, and interior lighting is no exception. Except in this case we're not talking a crystal chandelier, but crystal used in a different way for unique lighting patterns and beauty. New in a line of contemporary lighting from Swarovski is the Crystal StarLED, the Crystal StarLED Deluxe, and the Atlas Select.

There's a lot going on with these new collections, including both different lighting styles and different bulb arrangements. The one pictured here, the Melody, is one of my personal favorites.

Da Vinci LED Swarovski Crystal Chandelier

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor


Not a chandelier for a timid room or for a timid decorator, the new Da Vinci LED Crystal Chandelier from Schonbek "puts on a dazzling light show." And it's no wonder, since it's both enormous (available in 3 foot and 5 foot diameters) and is made up of hundreds of Swarovski crystals illuminated by either halogen or LED lights from within. The different lighting options mean you can either have a gently glittering moon hovering over your party or (by switching to LED mode) bursts of brightly changing color instead.

It's gorgeous, but I'm sure there are few with a place to put it!

These are just darling, don't you think? They're the latest stick type mp3 players/USB drives from Sony.

Ice Your iPhone with Swarovski Crystals

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


If you're all about over-the-top bling and have a new iPhone you're looking to glam up, then consider covering it with your own design of Swarovski crystals. The website Crystal Icing.com offers you the choice of 1500+ regular sized crystals or 3000+ tiny ones laid out in any pattern or picture you want on your iPhone for $295. They have a selection of patterns to choose from or you can submit your own using the over 75 available crystal colors. I haven't tried this, but among other things I'd be leery to part with my iPhone (if I only had one) in order to send it in for decorating.

Hello Kitty Doghouse Worth More Than $30,000

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Pets


If little Fluffy has been a good girl then she might be hoping she has a crystal Hello Kitty dog bed in her future, but you'll need to check your bank balance first as it doesn't come cheap. Containing more than 7,600 crystals and big enough to fit a small lap dog like a chihuahua or terrier, this is not an item that's going to "blend in" amongst your other home decor. Designed and created specifically for a special sales event in a department store in Tokyo, it will be available for sale later this month for $31,660.

Behold the Pomona Orange, from designer Julija Zileniene's Crystals and Wood collection. The designer teamed up with wood-crafter Rytis Zaveckas and Crystal Creations to create this one of a kind vessel. Hand-carved from pear wood and smothered in Swarovski crystals, the piece is segmented to resemble a real orange. 3.8 inches in diameter, this tiny orange would look lovely resting upon the Pomona Fruit Plate. $2300.

Phillips and Swarovski's Active Crystal Collection

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


There's always room for more bling in our lives, sometimes in the most unlikely of places. It's not that I haven't seen decked out USB drives before, but I guess I just figure if you're going to go there then do it right and go all out. The Phillips-Swarovski Active Crystal collection definitely goes there, squeezing as many Swarovski crystals as possible onto some very cute electronic gadgets. For USB drives there's the 1 GB "Heart Beat," a two-piece locket style, and the 1 GB "Lock-Out," and retractable padlock shaped one, both of which will sell for $179.

The collection also includes headphones and earbuds with large crystals embedded in each ear piece. Available in 4 different designs they will range in price from $79-$149. The entire line is scheduled to come out this August.
