The New Grand Bentley, Or At Least The Front Of It!




Just in case all of you didn't know Bentley's current flagship, the Arnage is the last vestige of old Bentley prior to becoming part of the Volkswagen Group. The luxury automaker is currently in the process of building the 150 final series Arnage models and getting ready to launch a replacement.

That car now dubbed the new Grand Bentley still remains very much a mystery, but the folks in Crewe have released the first teaser image and video of the new car. At this point all we know is that it will bear the famed winged B hood ornament. Bentley will be the featured marque at this year's Pebble Beach Concours and that is expected to to be the site of the Grand Bentley's debut. In the meantime check out the special site for the car at http://www.newgrandbentley.com.

THE Code X: Vicious Machine On The High Sea's!






In the world of luxury motor yachts there has, until recently, been little that one could call truly modern in design. Apart from the bravely angular and architectural Wally boats, the design literate billionaire had little choice to match their Zaha Hadid summer house, Alfred Haeberli lounge chair or Bang & Olufsen home cinema equipment.

Step forward Swiss company Code X. Their 47′ 7” catamaran has a daringly minimalist and mean origami-meets-Tie-fighter look to it and matches avant garde styling with equally cutting edge technology.

Depending on one’s mood the Code X can either be thrust along at a brisk 80 knots by twin Ilmor formula one engines, delivering a hefty 710hp a piece, or at a more leisurely 9 knots by the twin electric motors. These can provide up to two hours of service when running off the lithium batteries and when they run dry there is also the option of continuing for an unlimited period using power generated by the catamaran’s on-board solar panels.

As if the choice of power sources wasn’t enough the Bond-villain factor is upped even more by details such as touch screen control and a GPS-controlled ‘virtual anchor’ system that utilises the electric motors to maintain a stationary position regardless of wind or currents.

Code X is based in Meggen on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland

Cole Haan Ostrich Tote For The Ladies


Cole Haan handbags have been a longtime favorite of mine. Especially after having a good friend who happened to work there for a year. I gained intimate knowledge on their line, construction and craftsmanship. Of their entire collection, the Cole Haan Collection line encompasses their most impressive, sophisticated and fashion forward handbags, shoes, coats and accessories. Featured here is their Ostrich Tote. It has a simple silhouette (Yes I do speak in fashion terms from time to time) yet the exotic leather and punchy orange color adds an air of uniqueness that makes you look twice. It features double leather handles, very minimal gold accents, interior pockets and suede lining.

The Debut of Veritas RS III




Veritas RS III is most certainly a dream car, let's make no mistake about that. This is a beauty of a car that is the revival of the 40's-era BMW racing team. Who doesn't love an open cockpit super car? It comes with a choice of two BMW M-sourced powertrains, 480hp V8 or 600hp V10 which allows it to reach 60 mph from a standstill in the three-second range en route to a top speed over 200 mph with either engine and no electronic aids! The much awaited car starts from a base price of $375,000 and only 50 models are going to be produced!

Burberry Black!!!




Despite the rumors about Burberry throwing in the towel, they seem to keep coming back with more and more.

Louis Vuitton launching on Twitter!!!

Louis Vuitton has recently had an online presence (November 2007), but not for very long. But this time alone, the Monogram Tote bag has been the first designer bag that has been launched even before it is released to stores. The spacious and trendy bag will retail for $1000 until the 1st of June. Louis Vuitton has also decided to step into the world of Twitter, the social networking website, and offering us the latest information on new Louis Vuitton events and products. This move was made of course to bring LV into the forefront of the high end social media! I might just work out for them, only time will tell....

CUBE : A Different Way to Live Above The Rest!!






You can choose the design of your phone, your computer, and your car - so why not your condominium?

That’s what Chad Oppenheim, head of Miami-based Oppenheim Architecture & Design, asked himself while putting together his architectural thesis at Brown University.

The question became the impetus for his latest project: a condominium complex, set to be completed by the end of 2010, that takes a bottom-up, user-generated approach to constructing residential space.

be promotes its occupants to design their own domain with the possibility of connecting multiple cube modules vertically, horizontally, and diagonally in addition to creating double height volumes, garden voids and cantilevered living environments.

Sale of the 113 condominium units is on hold due to the market downturn. Penthouse and cantilevered units like the one in the top images will sell for $800/sf.

The cubes are available on a first-come, first-served basis, although you can’t book them online yet. Oppenheim says residents shouldn’t be forced to compromise.

“The goal is to create an innovative but simple structure that gives flexibility,” he says. “This is going to be the next tier of living.

And since I really do think its going to be the next tier of living, I will be waiting on my check for the good people at Oppenheim for this get Plug. *Pause!! LOL

Dope VOID Watches!!!


VOID Watches is a new, independent boutique watch brand launched in 2008 as the single vision of Swedish designer David Ericsson. VOID Watches has a unique take on watch design using simple yet expressive shapes, giving their watches an almost architectural expression. Just like a great building is designed to fit its environment, all VOID Watches are made to sit perfectly on your wrist. This is the different look that everyone should be looking for. I have always told people to set trends not follow them! High Fashion isn't for everyone but knowing how to dress sure is.

The Marten 49!!!!


Its damn near summer time now, so its time to hit the beach/ yacht/sailing scene hard!! And better way to do this then in Australian yacht builder Azzura Marine’s Marten 49. Marine seems to be riding the carbon fiber craze also. This yacht is a true beauty that is a sleek-lined, ultra stylish cruiser-race. It comes with a carbon fiber hull, bulkheads and deck. The three main virtues of this baby are maximum flexibility and maneuverability and luxury through advanced technology. The proof of this is the clever 'hydraulic lifting keel for improved draught and performance when racing! I'm not suggesting that you do race but If someone wants to make a wager on a race then why not? So if your going to race at least this boat has reduced draught for accessibility to harbour's and anchorages when cruising, in addition to a retractable carbon bow. So if you are into sailing and cruisers, Marten 49 will definitely be on your wishlist

Tom Ford “Made to Measure” Shoes

Tom Ford is one of my favorite high fashion designers, so as the saying goes if the shoe fits, then it's perfectly wearable; if the shoe fits like Tom Ford's made-to-measure footwear, then it's nigh-on perfect. Customers can select from any one of 18 styles - from lace-ups to loafers - and an almost bewildering number of materials (14 different kinds of calf leather, not to mention suede and crocodile skin). Still not individual enough? Then add a monogram or have your moniker inscribed inside the shoe. Measuring complete, the order hotfoots its way to Naples to begin a painstaking three-month process that gives the shoe-to-be (and presumably the shoemaker) time to rest between each of the six layers of polish. Alas, the service is currently only available in Ford's flagship stores in New York and Milan, but then that hardly takes the shine off. For those willing to spend in excess of $3500 this is a great look for you!!

A Powerful Package: The Ferrari 599XX !!





Ferrari is synonymous with not just the color ed but class, style and of course - speed. And their latest beauty, the 599XX which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show was the embodiment of all these traits and much more. Based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, the €1.1million ($1.4 million) prototype model is a hardcore racer that comes equipped with many advanced features. The modifications on the bodywork help the 599XX to produce 280 kg or 717lbs of downforce at 200km/h (124mph) and 630kg or 1,390 lbs at 300km/h (187mph). Sorry I'm really into cars so I had to give specs! LOL, this car is mean and with that price tag we all know only certain people will be able to afford it!
