LUXURY AT ITS BEST

Hermes have just created a $2 million bag, redefining luxury handbags (which they seem to do quite well for as long as I can remember), adding four of the Kelly style bags in solid gold. Pierre Hardy, jeweller and shoemaker, helped the French brand create the bags which are adorned with 1,600 diamonds.

Whoever buys this bag (whoever you are, I hope one day I get to meet you, you crazy!) will need at least 3 entourages of big men with them at all times when carrying this bag. Or will it be purchased, not for practical reasons, but as an art piece to place on your decadent table in your multi-million dollar apartment to show off to guests? I don't know because sadly I simply don't have $2 million.

I DIE

Absolutely, completely, utterly going bananas head over heels (literally) for these beaded heels worn by Christine Centenera at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Australia. But have also been worn by other notable names like Chanel Iman. The to-die-for heels are designed by Kanye West in collaboration with Guiseppe Zanotti and retail for only $5000 (and when I say only I mean holy bananas, those are some expensive foot clothings). Admittedly, the amount of workmanship in these heels are definitely worth the heft price tag. 

These heels, with their intricate beading, are very similar to my inspiration for the SNAKECHARMER line and have given me even more inspiration so keep on the look out for some more jewelry pieces that incorporate this heavy beading.
