Fendi Multicolored Doctor B Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Another great shot of spring handbag cheeriness without going the obvious route of a floral print: the Fendi Multicolored Doctor B Bag. Available in two blended rainbow color schemes (this yellow/gray/seafoam one is my personal favorite) it features a soft pleated shape in smooth grained leather with brushed gold metal hardware, a double-layered shoulder strap with adjustable drop, side buckles that adjust the bag's capacity, an interior pocket, and a frame top with magnetic closure. 16" x 10.5" x 6.5", $1840.


Stethoscope Cufflinks

Filed under: Jewelry

It isn't all that often that cufflinks can actually be themed towards a profession without looking entirely tacky. Bankers, for example, probably should avoid cufflinks with dollar signs on them. This set of Stethoscope Cufflinks, on the other hand, actually is very cute and would make a great finishing touch for a busy doctor or even for a med school student. It's possible that he sterling silver cufflinks could even be used to deliver a not-to-subtle hint to a son from parents who are hoping he'll end up in med school. Price: $70.

Babies to Enter Luxury Market?

With the advent of a screening process that allows couples to screen for various traits, including gender, of their babies, some fertility clinics are seeing an upswing in foreign clients. This is because the US does not have as strict regulations as some other countries over embryo selection and allows doctors the freedom to select for gender - a desirable thing for many couples considering children. In other countries, such as Australia, screenings are permitted only for genetically inherited diseases, so a couple that wants a girl can come to the US and, with the help of a doctor here, can get one.

Doctors say that the bulk of their clients come from Canada, where girls are very popular, and China, where boys are in demand, though potential parents come from New Zealand to Austria, too. The procedure costs about $20,000.

Not all clinics offer this sort of service and many doctors and legislators oppose what they say amounts to "amounts to medical tourism for designer babies " Other doctors simply say that they are serving the marketplace and fulfilling a need.

But is it ok to turn a potential parent into a consumer who is on the lookout for only a specific type of child?
