Maude & Tilda Tote Bags



Paris-based Maude & Tilda offer a collection of clever slogan totes that come with the added benefit of being eco-friendly. On this page “Will F*ck For Chanel” (file under, yes, female economics still exist sad yet true), on the next, “This Bag Contains A Whip, Handcuffs And Little Black Lace Panties,” “I’m Still Saving For My Birkin Bag,” “I Am The Sh*t,” and “Louis Vuitton Just Doesn’t Look Good On Me.” And yep, the company ships internationally.

Kanye West hand-stitched and framed Tweet




Kanye West hand-stitched and framed Tweets, priced at $40 each by Etsy seller Supervelma aka Drop Dead Quirky has caused a bit of a sensation. In addition to Kanye’s Tweets, Supervelma has done custom stitched designs featuring Ice Cube, and even a portrait of the insanely loveable Chewbacca (clutching heart over here!) Unfortunately for those who want one, the attention this clever idea has invited has left Supervelma and her ten fingers a bit overwhelmed, and while yes, she promises she can stitch your favorite idea by X-mas, you will have to wait until the one that falls in 2012 to give it as a gift.

Pocket Watch by Cartier for SIHH 2012




For each of the past few years at the SIHH show in Geneva, Cartier has unveiled a “grande complication” wristwatch featuring a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and monopusher chronograph.
This year, Cartier has drawn inspiration from Cartier pocket watches produced in the 1930′s to produce this eye-catching piece.
The watch is crafted in white gold, with skeletonized Roman numerals, something that we have also seen the past few years in some of Cartier’s higher end pieces.

Christmas Flavors by Nespresso




Nespresso have just launched three brand spanking new flavors for Christmas: Dark Chocolate, Vanilla Blossom and Cherry.
Vanilla Blossom – A delicate harmony capturing the roundness of the Livanto Grand Cru and the velvety taste of vanilla. The Vanilla Blossom is a smooth blend distinguished by light floral notes.
Cherry – The sweet and fragrant intensity of ripe cherries awaken the toasted notes of the Livanto Grand Cru. Together they create a fruity and full-flavoured taste.
Dark Chocolate – Dark and bitter chocolate notes meet the caramelised roast of the Livanto Grand Cru. The Dark Chocolate is a rich combination reminiscent of dark chocolate squares.
