Tiffany & Co. suite at St. Regis Hotel


New York City’s St. Regis Hotel has unveiled a specially designed Tiffany & Co. Suite which calls to mind the luxury, elegance and refinement befitting of Audrey Hepburn. 
For $8,500 per night you can lounge on plush décor while conjuring scenes from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” within the luxurious comforts of the St. Regis’ 14th floor Tiffany & Co. suite, which was lavishly revamped and vividly brought to life under the expert direction of John Loring, design director of Tiffany & Co. 
This 1,700-square-foot suite is adorned with tons of contemporary flair — perfectly balancing its vintage sophistication, showcasing the pristine, signature ‘Tiffany’s’ hues of white and powder blue – while lavishly sprinkled with classic Tiffany & Co. accessories.




Aside from the classic Tiffany’s shade of blue adorning the room’s silver-leaf wall coverings, and the sumptuous bed’s headboard, the breathtaking dining room is undoubtedly a standout which clearly takes its inspiration from a jewel box — complete with its very own crowning jewel which comes in the form of a sparkling crystal chandelier.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc



The special-edition Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc, which was created in partnership with Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur, is a stunning one-off model to sport this remarkable porcelain body and cabin. 



 “At first, it seems to be an unusual idea to use porcelain in a car, especially in the world’s fastest convertible,” stated Dr. Stefan Brungs, Director of Sales and Marketing at Bugatti Automobiles. “But this is what Bugatti stands for: the realization of exceptional ideas whilst striving for the utmost in quality and aesthetics. This allows us to continue Ettore Bugatti’s heritage, who himself loved to experiment with new materials.”



The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport L’Or Blanc is making its world debut at the KPM workshops in Berlin. The price for such ultra-luxury, exotic haute wheels: $2.39 million USD.

Hublot King Power “D-Wade" Watch



Dwyane Wade has teamed with Hublot to design the limited edition timepiece: “King Power “D-Wade” — a stylish offering for basketball enthusiasts’ and timepiece connoisseurs alike.
This unique basketball inspired watch flaunts a sleek wristband which is outfitted with stitching that closely resembles basketball net material, also showcasing a 48mm in diameter black ceramic casing, while the timepiece’s exquisite face showcases Wade’s jersey number: “3”, further distinguished by his newly designed signature logo which is stamped on the back of the watch. 
“I wanted the watch to have basketball characteristics. It’s a combination of a lifestyle and a sports watch. You can dress it up or dress it down,” Wade stated to WWD at the Hublot Madison Avenue flagship store in New York.
“I really wanted to add my subtle details. I wanted it to be authentic to who I am. I think this watch speaks to me and my personality,” Wade continued. “My style is classic and gentlemanly with a little spice mixed in.”
Only 500 units of this exclusive timepiece will be produced – priced at $20,000.
