Omega Constellation Ladies' Watches For The Holiday Season

Omega is really serious about promoting their new Constellation watches for women. I mean the watch line isn't anything new, but they just revamped the style of the watches, so they have been thoroughly updated. They even hired Cindy Crawford for one of the watch release parties. I must admit the line has always looked good on a woman's wrist, and here are two new interesting colors for the watch - purple and white on matching reptile skin straps.

The Constellation cases are elegant and simple, with the iconic "claws" on the sides. These versions have diamond decoration including diamonds on the bezel, as well as for each of the hour markers. The dials are deeply textured in an angled sunburst pattern done in purple with white. The large crown adds to Omega's preferred utilitarian look, and the straps have fold over clasps. The cases are likely in steel, and I am guessing the movements in these jewelry-like ladies' watches are Swiss quartz. Overall in pretty good taste making for suitable gifts. No specific price announced yet, but I imagine it will be close to what the new line these watches is going for.

Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag is truly unusual and very chic.

This bag comes in plum (shown), gold, or black metallic leather and is the perfect day bag, with that comfortable square-cut shoulder and enough space for all your accessories -- even the makeup bag.

We love the elegant, braided rope-like details and the creative gathered pleat at the front. The sides feature drawstrings to help keep this open-top bag safely and securely shut. This bag has no hardware at all, so you can wear it with gold or silver, and any pattern, as it is completely and deliberately monochromatic.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Intrecc Vitello Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,290.00.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q City Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Women's Classic Q City Bag is one of the most artful tote-sized bags we've ever seen.

This double strapped bag comes in at 12.5"W x 15"H x 2.75"D, and has a detachable strap (shown) which allows you to throw in your portfolio and sling it over your shoulder like any tote bag. But this is not any tote bag. This is a soft, "Electric Violet" pebble leather Marc by Marc Jacobs masterpiece.

We especially love the elegant gather at the center of the bag, and the complementary geometric shapes and the base of the straps. There are concealed magnetic snaps for closure, as well as an inside zipper and cell phone pocket.

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q City Bag is available from Bloomingdales for $428.

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Handbags

Working with designer Marc Jacobs, the classic Louis Vuitton Pouchette style bag has gotten a bit of a makeover for the summer. The bag is made of silk, printed with a charm bracelet pattern that has the LV logo and other iconic brand shapes. It is coated in vinyl to protect the silk scarf and make it more durable. The leather strap is removable and the bag has a zipper closure. The bag is accessorized with - what else - a small padlock. It does come in brown and white, as well as in fuchsia, for the more conservative dresser, but you may as well have a little fun with a summer bag! Price: $640.

Electric Guitar Cutting Board

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

The single most boring thing in the kitchen is a cutting board. Usually, it is a piece of plastic that sits near the sink. Recently, I got a bamboo one, which is very beautiful in addition to being sturdy, but it is still plain. I’m thinking about investing in something fancier, something more fun. Something like the Country Toys Electric Guitar Cutting Board, which is unusually stylish for a wooden kitchen accessory. The cutting board is 3/4-inch thick, so it will last for years of use and, if necessary, refinishing. Handmade from gorgeous purple hardwood, this would look great on a kitchen counter and take up a lot less space than a real guitar and in addition to being more wallet-friendly at $60. There is also an Acoustic Guitar version, for you more traditional types.
