Celestina Marcel Soriano Shell Clutch Handbag

For when you want something eye-catching and fantastic but not flashy, this Marcel Soriano Shell Clutch by Celestina is natural, earthy glamour at its best. Irridescent mother-of-pearl shell clutch with a goldtone brass frame and a bright lapis lazuli clasp closure on the top. It opens on a hinge and has a small wooden logo-embossed plague on the interior, and comes with a darling vanity mirror in a wooden frame. The fun thing about this clutch is that because it's made of naturally occurring shell no two will ever look the same. $875

The Nautilus House: Live In A Giant Designer Snail Shell

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Estates

The Nautilus House is a cartoon-like combination of bright vibrant colors and a gigantic shell-shaped design. It's a real house, located in Mexico City and occupied by a young couple and their two small children. Not only does the Nautilus House look like a giant work of art, but because it's built from a mix of chicken wire and concrete (among other things) and takes cues from a Nautilus shell (hence the name) it's also an earthquake-proof and maintenance-free structure. And that's always handy.

The inside decor is all about smooth rounded surfaces, rich colors, and greenery all over the place. And although the home is surrounded by Mexico City on 3 sides, the West side has most of the windows and faces out to a beautiful view of the mountains.

I really like it, but for anything other than a vacation home it might get old -- living in this house must make a person feel like they're in a tropical version of Whoville.

Chiocciola Shower

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

The spiraling Chiocciola Shower is like a room unto itself, rather making up some small portion of a larger bathroom. The shower has a matte-finish acrylic screen and can be configured for access from the left or the right. Since this design would not look nearly as elegant if positioned up against a wall, consider it for an airy bathroom, preferably one where it can be sort of centrally located and highlighted with skylights. Price: $12,470.
