Style aficionados and fans of luxury, this most definitely ain’t your mama’s piggy bank, no sirree. What we have here is the result of a little get together between Royal Delft, an old company established way back in 1653, and Marcel Wanderers.

It may look like just another piggy bank, but oh no, my good friends and neighbors, that simply is not the case.

It is part of Delft’s Blue Collection, and it will seriously inspire you to save as much money as you can — great advice, in these troubled financial times.

A good message, right? Absolutely. But a somewhat dual sided one, since the piggy bank itself costs more than twelve hundred dollars — $1,288.00, to be exact. You just might need to buy a more ordinary piggy bank to start saving your pennies just so you can buy the upgraded version.

You are looking at a bottle of Mon Precious Nectar Fountain Imperiale, a new and decidedly rare perfume you can, if you are willing and able, get in a liter bottle.

Mind you, this perfume is solely for those with a nose for rare scents and a bank account that can afford them. It goes for nine thousand dollars, so precious few of us will actually be wearing it.

Still, nine thousand dollars for a liter’s worth of perfume that is universally touted as being quite rare almost isn’t too out of line.

Also known as Precieux Nectar, the scent is an intoxicating combination of floral, musk, and fruit. As you can see, the crystal bottle is also quite lovely, and its stopper features both an engraving of a honey bee and the Guerlain emblem.

It has to be said that many people nowadays are looking for bigger, badder and better electronics and the companies are certainly trying to come up with any ideas possible to meet these demands.  Well, I can tell you that the brand new speaker dubbed the ‘Wall of Sound’ is certainly living up to the bigger portion of the deal.

Not only is this speaker by far the biggest iPod speaker out there but it is the best too.  The Wall of Sound is weights about 225 pounds, stands about a meter tall and can pump about 125 watts of rawthroated power.

Pretty much, this speaker is made up of 28 individual speakers and each of them are housed in their own chamber.  You want this thing?  $4,500 is the price for it.

If there is one thing that I have noticed when it comes to rich people – it is their love for fashion-forward things like fish tanks.  Personally, I love fish.  I do not have any right now, but I can tell you that they are really awesome and if you maintain your fish tank, you are certainly going to have a great conversation piece!

Well, ZeroEdge Aquariums is actually a luxury aquarium producer and they have come up with so many different styles that no matter what you want out of a fish tank, ZeroEdge Aquariums can provide it to you.  Having fish in your home is definitely relaxing – just watching them is awesome and can certainly change your mood.

Heck, if you want custom aquariums, ZeroEdge Aquariums is willing to do that as well, so keep that in mind!

Yes, you are seeing exactly what you think you are seeing. The bottle for Fragrance by Alexa Lixfeld is sealed by a piece of concrete — what better way to keep in all those beautiful smells, right?

Actually, Alexa Lixfeld, a designer who hails from Hamberg, is rather well known for creating perfume bottles that have concrete lids and seals — and no worries. It is completely safe and stable.

Not only are the designs quite awesome, but the fragrances are fantastic as well. One type features oriental scents with hints of rosemary; another offers the scent of sandalwood; and a third provides the cool, feminine scents of jasmine and lilies.

Plus, of course, you can always carry your perfume with you and use it to defend yourself, should the need arise!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away … there was chess and chess was good, but a group of designers decided chess could be better and thus created the Steampunk Millennium Chess Table, and among fans of that galaxy far, far away, there was much rejoicing.

So that may well be the longest run on sentence I have ever written, but I really think it gets the point across, don’t you?

What is Steampunk, exactly? Well, simply put, it is a new trend in design that basically takes something standard and makes it edgy.

Because chess really needed to be taken to the next level, am I right? This table has a built in flash drive, video, and audio, so you can really enjoy the Star Wars experience while going for the checkmate.

One thing that I have noticed about guys is that they are very, very particular about their wallets.  For me – I carry a purse, but when it comes to a wallet for a guy, they like to have certain things and make sure that it fits and feels a certain way.  Well, the Ralph Lauren wallet is actually something that is not only luxury, but it is beautiful!

This wonderful accessory will make any outfit and it is actually made in Italy with calfskin.  It will definitely keep all of your cards secure and it is actually really cool looking on the outside.  The Ralph Lauren symbol is placed and it actually comes with a felt duster bag so you do not have to worry about it getting dusty.

Ralph Lauren is one designer that cares about his vision and I think that he hit the nail on the head with this wallet!

It seems that lately, everything from giant squids all the way to giant whales have been in the news lately and while this seems like it has nothing to do with your shower – it does.  The Vado Showerhead is actually squid inspired and while it might look a little weird and a little strange and heck, you might even be scared of it … I have to say that this particular showerhead is awesome.

The Vado Showerhead actually has six flexible and adjustable tentacles and they can all be aimed pretty much anywhere, which is something that many people don’t even know about.  If you have a back ache and a shoulder ache – three and three.  That is the cool thing about this particular concept.

While I am not sure that the Vado Showerhead is going to take off … I think that it is a pretty awesome showerhead.

Don’t believe me? Then you need to do your research, because gold is soaring, so much so that it seems to be the most fashionable as well as the most popular color this season — and in the coming seasons, for that matter.

All around the world, the word in trends is gold, gold, gold. This is likely due to the fact that the rate of yellow metal is soaring right into the sky, making it a terrific investment.

The hawk figurine you see in the picture here was recently seen in Hong Kong, and word has it that it is worth no less than $6,290.

Things are even crazier in Tokyo, which recently had the popular exhibition, Tokyo Gold Week.

Dog tags are a popular piece of jewelry; they have actually been popular for so long and among so many different groups of people that they are past being a trend. So, creating a dog tag to benefit a great cause like Breast Cancer treatment, research, and education, is a superb idea, one which David Yurman took on himself.

This is his Pink Rhodonite and Sterling Silver Breast Cancer Dog Tag. It features the DY logo and is going for about four hundred and fifty dollars. On the right of the tag, a Pave diamond encrusted model catches the eye more than the tag on the left, although the simplicity of that one is becoming a favorite.  The tag on the right will set you back by about nine hundred and fifty dollars, but it is for an unquestionably good cause.
