| Limited Edition Lalique Jewellery Box By Linley Available At €9,600 Posted: 08 Mar 2011 10:03 AM PST
When two of the finest names in luxury team up, how can you possibly expect anything less than the best. That seems to be the case as furniture brand David Linley collaborates with Lalique Crystal to create a set of limited edition jewellery boxes. Even a cursory glance at Linley and Lalique‘s new and exclusive jewellery boxes reveals the exquisite craftsmanship involved in creating these units. High on elegance, the jewellery boxes are the perfect blend of fine woodwork by bespoke furniture-maker Linley and sparkling crystal work by French design house Lalique. The two design firms have together come up with two jewellery box designs – the “Masque de Femme” and the “Perles” styles. Both will reveal how crystal combines with the finest wood via the techniques of inlay and marquetry.
The “Masque de Femme” jewellery box is so called because it is adorned with Lalique’s famous “Masque de Femme” motif on the lid. The motif dates back to 1935 when Rene Lalique came up with the design. Built out of Madagascar ebony, this jewellery box is draped in vellum. This limited edition box has an inlaid panel which is decorated with 20 flower-shaped crystals. Meanwhile, the “Perles” jewellery box has been created using Linley’s signature high gloss ebonised maple wood and Lalique crystal with a smooth satin finish. Only 99 units of each Lalique Jewellery Box by Linley will be produced at a sale price of €9,600 (approximately $13,425). After all, expensive jewellery needs a container that can match up to its luxury quotient.

| Frette Expands the Baby Line With New Products and Designs Posted: 08 Mar 2011 08:02 AM PST
Frette is best known for their luxury linens. In fact, an article covering their Beverly Hills Boutique has titled it The Linen Shop. But they are equally serious about their Baby line and have been working on making the collection more comprehensive. Frette has just added new items for spring to their Baby line. Now they have the range that makes it perfect as a baby shower gift or other celebrations for the tiny tots. Giraffe motif has been used extensively in the new products and designs. It has been embroidered on bed sets, quilts, covers and towels and on jacquard blankets from the Warm range. There are other products and designs without the giraffe motif. The pillows and bed sets with lace trims or triple bourdon embroideries in pink, blue, ivory and beige are simply gorgeous and luxurious. You are sure to find something that suits the décor of your baby's room. The expanded Baby line now includes Kid’s pajamas, bathrobes and bibs all embroidered with giraffe or Frette logos. Considering the design and quality of the Baby line the prices seem to be quite reasonable. Prices range from $45 for a bib set to $195 for cashmere sweater. A terry robe for your child will cost you $95 and for $350 you can have the triple bourbon crib set with duvet.

| Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen Could Design the Dress for the Royal Wedding Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:07 PM PST
As the Royal Wedding gets nearer the buzz, the anticipation and the rumors are increasing in its intensity. The curiosity value of the wedding is so high that the media is churning out insignificant tit bits also dressed up like vital information from the preparation process. The latest speculation or rumor is that Kate Middleton will be wearing Alexander McQueen for the wedding. The peculation has been on for months now as to who will have the honor of designing the dress foe Kate. Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen is the latest name to be thrown in the ring. She has done some gorgeous work and if she actually gets to design the dress it would be considered a cool and nontraditional move from the Royal perspective. Kate has actually made her decision about the designer she wants but has decided to keep her choice a secret. Jonathan Akeroyd, the CEO of Alexander McQueen has denied this rumor. A Clarence House representative also said that since Catherine Middleton wants to keep this private they are unable to comment on it. In any case, any amount of denials and clarifications will not stop the speculation and discussions on the matter. The designer shoes Kate will or should wear for the wedding is another topic of speculation. The rumors that she has commissioned some flats have disappointed designers and expert stylists. Everyone has an opinion and they are getting vocal and articulate. The run up to the climax is getting interesting and the dress she finally wears will be discussed threadbare.
