Annette Carey is a designer, that has been commissioned by Bic Cristal to create a special dress to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
The dress is a bit on the heavier side at 8lbs because of the 1,200 pens and almost 2,000 crystals that have been used artistically to embellish the exceptional creation. The process of making the unusual dress was not only tough but time consuming. They worked up to 13 hours a day to get the dress ready. Sewing all the Bic pens perfectly on the dress took 640 hours.
The dress that cost £10,000 has been put up for display at the Inkspiration: Story of BIC Cristal exhibition at the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, West London, for one month from April 1.

These cookie cutters distributed by Cox & Cox take baking and making to a whole new level. Cookie constructionists have the ability to cut as many jigsaw pieces as they want, and then bake and connect them into a puzzle of any dimension. The puzzle possibilities are endless, as the entire puzzle can be decorated with any image or pattern.
The best part is that Cox & Cox seems to have neglected to design edge and corner-piece cutters in its jigsaw cookie cutter set. Finding the edge pieces is always the hardest, and why waste time when there are cookies to munch? Get jiggy with these jigsaw cutters, and puzzle the kids on the block with your cookie creations.

Patek Philippe's most ambitious new item for 2011 is clearly the Reference 5208 Grand Complication watch. Building on a few platforms, they include a highly desirable trio of complication groups together in the Ref. 5208 making it a very choice piece this year. In platinum, the case is a generous 44mm wide - it is possible that gold versions will come in the years to come.
The dial design feels very contemporary by Patek Philippe standards. While sophisticated, in true Patek Philippe fashion they are able to include a wealth of information on the face without the dial looking cluttered or intimidating. The most cleverly integrated feature is the perpetual calendar which uses a link of window on the top of the dial to indicate the day, date, and month. Small windows in the chronograph subdials indicate the leap year as well as a day/night indicator. A moon phase indicator is built into the subsidiary seconds dial. An important element of the calendar system is that all the indicators instantly jump when they change as opposed to change slowly.
