The LBD Gets a Luxury Makeover

swarovski_black_dress_Oh, ladies. You might not want to look at this, it’s going to hurt — at least, if you are a fashionista and/or a style maven who always clamors for what is new and hot and stylish.

Like this new take on the little black dress, bedazzled with Swarovski crystals. Be still my beating heart, you know?

The looks pictured here are part of a catalog, put out by Phillips de Pury & Company as well as Crystallized Swarovski elements.

It features looks from designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as Martin Grant, just to name a very few. There are twenty two different ways to say and to wear black.

Is that an iPod in Your Tie (or Are You Happy to See Me)?

pinkcomtieSo, let’s say you are a busy, professional, music loving man who is constantly on the go and does not have a lot of room to juggle the various accouterments of your day to day life. Heck, or perhaps you are a busy, professional, music loving girl who is constantly on the go, does not have a lot of room to juggle the various accouterments of your day to day life, but does have an affinity for ties.

Either way, this iPod Tie from Thomas Pink is a must have for you. Thomas Pink, owned by LVMH and located in London, is known as a shirt maker and haberdasher, and they are responsible for this rather adorable, innovative accessory. Officially known as the Commuter Tie, it is specially designed to hold your iPod, and it will definitely be making waves in autumn and winter of 2009 and 2010.

The tie is one hundred percent decadent, woven silk. On the reverse side, it features a pocket perfect for holding an iPod or other MP3 player. Currently, the pocket is made to fit devices like the iPod Nano and other, similarly small players. There is even an extra loop which will make sure the wires are completely out of sight.

For just one hundred dollars, you can get a tie in charcoal, gray, blue, purple, orange, red, green, or this luscious dark pink.
