The latest in the line of minimalist bath accessories from Denmark's Vipp is this ultra-sleek laundry basket. The basket is available in white or black lacquered steel and rubber and has a rounded shape similar to the classic Vipp pedal bin. The lid is made from brushed stainless steel and is perforated for air circulation. Inside there is a removable dual-section inner bag for sorting. The basket also has hidden rubber wheels. At $625, this laundry basket costs as much as some washing machines.

The BreezeDry is an ambient air drying cabinet that dries without heat You can dry and entire load of laundry using less air than a conventional dryer and it also promises the fresh clean scent of drying outdoors. This green product will also cost you a lot of green, it sells for $3,750.

Lux List: Top Spring Sundresses

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Sundresses are on the casual end of elegance. Largely sleeveless, they are perfect for garden parties, a lazy Sunday brunch or a picnic at the park. They should be comfortable and easy to wear, but classy at the same time; sundresses are not too casual and should look good with strappy sandals or thong flats. This spring, there are a couple of trends that are showing up in the sun. The biggest one is white. White is the must-have shade for spring dresses. It is flattering and cooling, simple enough to be paired with any other shade and bright enough to be eye catching. Large print patterns and stripes are popular, too, but are definitely coming in second to the simple white dress. Other trends to look out for are dresses with empire waists and fuller skirts, as well as easy-to-wear shirt dresses, all of which can be very figure flattering.

This white Vintage Lace Shirtdress from ABS by Allen Schwartz has a lace overlay over an empire chiffon slip. It is flowy and flirty without being too revealing. Price $230.
