Skorpios Hobo By Michael Kors Is Just In Time For Some Fall Fashion

michael kors skorpios hobo

Expect designer Michael Kors to revv up some classy fashion magic every season. This fall he has come up with the Skorpios Hobo (perhaps to go with the ongoing Scorpios zodiac month) that oozes nothing but sheer exclusivity. Made in white, this one fully establishes the fact that its user is someone who has simple yet extremely classy tastes in life. Plus this one is as big as it gets. With dimensions similar to that of a big tote, 16 1/2″W x 14″H x 5″D, this handbag flaunts a slouchy shape that can be expanded to accomodate more by simply undoing the goldtone clips on both the sides.

A perfect day bag, this one has been made from real soft leather in white with trims of brown snakeskin-embossed leather. As for the handle, it sports brown braided leather that has been held together with nautical-style clips just like in a cruise ship. A very creative conceptualisation, we must say.

This real sexy fashion accessory has the option of pre-order from Nordstorm at a price of $1,095. Mind we tell you that this one comes in a limited edition. So, hurry!

Marcus Schenkenberg Attempts Pearl Jewelry For Men

gellneryourock Marcus Schenkenberg Attempts Pearl Jewelry For Men

Lately we have seen that jewelry has gradually found its way into the male closet too. But so far, it were the golds, silvers and platinums only with maybe some diamonds to go with. However, male model and reality TV star Marcus Schenkenberg is trying to change things a little. Well, he perhaps is among the first one to come up with a line of pearl jewelry targeted at the metrosexual men out there. This little endeavour (and perhaps, among the first ever) of his has come from his partnership with a German pearl specialist.

Sold under YOU ROCK by Marcus Schenkenberg, this collection has several spectacular pieces in black-silver combinations that have been designed by Mayk Holländer though we would have liked to see Marcus try his hand at it too. Holländer has made use of black brilliant-cut diamonds and highlighted those with vividly colored Fiji cultured pearls.

You can choose from black chokers made in leather, silver, knotted silk or stingray leather. These usually sport real sexy pendants shaped after an anchor, a cross, a skull or just highlight a single pearl. Matching bracelets made from black knotted silk adorned with brilliant cut diamonds and Fiji cultured pearlsare available too.

The Vintage Vespa Scooters Get A Stylish, Green Makeover

recycled_scooter_furniture_1 The Vintage Vespa Scooters Get A Stylish, Green Makeover

Unlike the popular belief, recycling can be a whole bagful of fun. In fact, lately we have come across several examples of recycling that burst the bubble of the aforementioned myth. Take the case of classic Vespa scooters for example. We have witnessed how the scraps of old autombiles have been used to contribute majorly to a green lifestyle. In fact, recycled bike furniture as well as the reuse of aircraft parts to make real stylish chairs and tables have all been greatly appreciated.

Well, this furniture range just got wider with the vintage Vespa scooters adding their own special charm. The Spanish design studio, Bel & Bel has taken up the task of converting the discarded Vespa scooters and into real cool office furniture.

That is not all. The design team has lent the handmade upholstered chairs a whole range of colors to gel with your office decor. Apart from the chairs, one can also get these unqiue scultpure models that let’s say combine the scooter handle and lower body of a mannequin. It does sound a bit crazy but it sure looks quirky and good.

Bagues Boule Ring Is A Winner With Its Three Ball Effect

bagues boule ring

We have said it so many times and we do not shy away from saying it again that ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. This is no exaggeration when brands and creations like the Bagues Boule ring are anything to go by. This $16,620 worth ring comes from the workshop of none other than the immensly talented jewelry designer Edouard Nahum. As for the diamonds, you can see several of them in shades of both black and white, all mounted very artisticaly on the white gold ring. We are told that the total worth of the precious ices used to make this ring equal 8.24 carats in total.

The triple ball design of the Bagues Boule ring is very stylish. In fact, it is apt enough to be worn at all your high profile dos. Trust us when we say that all the ladies will be in a state of admiration mixed with a dose of envy.

We like the clean lines of this piece of art jewelry. Nahum has very clevery endowed this one with a series of color. One ball is in the color black with hints of gray, one is silver with hints of black while the third ball is in a clear shade of silver. A must have but yes, go with a loaded purse when shopping for this one.

Are You Game To Put Some Kraken Beast In Your Belly?

kraken black spiced rum

Would you like to “put a beast in your belly”? If you are not scared by this tagline, then you might just be brave enough to actually sip on a new liquor available in the market, The Kraken Black Spiced Rum and it borrows its name from the legendary tentacled beast of the sea. Frankly, we really doubt the presence of the animal inside this high quality spirit but you never know (just kidding)! We are informed that a secret blend of 13 spices were mixed and a dark black color reminding the maker of the giant squid’s ink was obtained, and so the name.

The rum has been distilled in Trinidad and Tobago and it impresses with the Kraken’s legendary strength which is 94 proof. Plus it has been bottled very stylishly too. The maker has kept the whole aura very gothic. A simple glass bottle adorns a white wrap that carries the name of the rum as well as a picture of the Kraken creature in black ink. One look at it and you will get a sense of drinking something that does not belong to the present times.

This smooth liquor is being publicised both as a sipping rum as well as a mixer for various cocktails like “Kraken and Cola” and “Kraken Bomb”. Very soon, you can get a  yourself a bottle of this one at restaurants and retailers at $20-$30 per bottle. A perfect companion for some Halloween fun, we think!

Ford Truck BBQ Grill Is For Keeps If You Have The Moolah To Afford It

ford_bbq_truck Ford Truck BBQ Grill Is For Keeps If You Have The Moolah To Afford It

Technology has indeed taken BBQ grills to newer levels, but this time we spotted creativity doing a real slick job with the whole outdoor cooking regime. And in all fairness, we are completely blown away by it. First, it was the barbecue train followed by Dragon BBQ grills but even those could not satiate the hunger for more styles, and so the pistol-shaped BBQ grill was born. This time it is a truck, or should we say Ford truck to be precise, that is at your service to cook up some crunchy meats and breads for you on the go.

This one comes decked with all the high-tech gadgets giving one the ultimate in tailgating. In fact, it might just remind you of the Fire Truck grill that was launched last year. Well, the two are different and you will know once you take a look at the Ford Truck grill’s price tag which is a huge $15,000.

There isn’t any word on the specs of this beauty. All we know is that it is up for sale on eBay and is looking to add a certain magic to all your outdoor eating sessions. You will definitely rule with this one.

Airboard For New Game Thrills

Airboard Hovercraft ArbortechIt’s called Airboard, from Arbortech. And is a new thrill in sporting. Adjust your balance, change your weight from one side to another, and you can turn from 180º to 360º. The new gadget can take you to unimagined fun. Simply ride it, or try twists and moves, it promises fun. It is apparently, identical to those used at Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Airboard is a petite gasoline powered personal hovercraft or a propeller driven vehicle, that has an electric start. Start it up, hop on board, adjust the throttle and move on. Its makers say it is easy to control, maintain and ideal for riders who are aged above 14 years.

The handle bar has two levers, one to lift the engine speed and another to thrust. By bending  backwards, a small propelling wheel at the rear of the vehicle can be used to touch the ground to help accelerate the hovercraft.

Airboard Hovercraft To turn left, lean left. To turn right, lean to the right. To stop, let go of controls. The machine or engine to propel it is a four stroke petrol engine. Airboard can move on mown grass, asphalt, pavement, or any surface with no stones and litter.

Four Wheeled, But a Motorcycle

Four Wheeled Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike We live in the age when cars are getting smaller and smaller, to the point of becoming three wheeled vehicles. If the four-wheeler segment is undergoing dramatic changes in product production, so is the two-wheeler part of automobile industry too.

Mileage, looks, power, or whatever you call, a great amount of research is happening on the motorcycles and scooters front. How would you react then, to a motorcycle that defies the notion of two wheels and metamorphosizes into a four-wheeled rarity your eyes may not quite be used to?

Would you call it a motorcycle? Technically motorcycles are supposed to have just two wheels. Cars are supposed to have four. The 2010 Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike is at times bizarre looking and at other times looks like a fusion of some kind. It stretches out longer than a normal motorcycle does, it has a 350 cubic inch engine, which also has 350 horsepower. And has, four wheels. Four big wheels with two in the front, two in the back, except that the pairs look stuck together.

You may be able to ride it only if you are big in size. The advantage is that two big wheels will not let you fall for lack of balance. The wheels measure 17-inches. And the price is: $93,200.

Daihatsu Unveils DecaDeca Car Concept

0decadeca01 Daihatsu Unveils DecaDeca Car Concept

If you always found it difficult to get inside cars when it was raining, it was perhaps because there would be a car behind you constantly honking or the rain was making you feel miserable. Hence, presuming you hire taxis, it would be awesome if Daihatsu’s quirky-looking DecaDeca concept is used as taxis in our cities.

The car comes with amazing doors that can be slid easily and pushed back and forth. The low level entrance makes it easier to get in and the interiors are just awesome. Of course, this car is not entirely meant for being used as a taxi, but no one would want to own this car which does not look that great. However, to be used as a taxi, it really is an amazing design.

0decadeca02 Daihatsu Unveils DecaDeca Car Concept

Daihatsu’s quirky-looking DecaDeca concept is not yet going to be manufactured and it might take a while before any such decision is made. If the taxi operators contact the company, they might be able to manufacture the cars on a larger scale. Moreover, the car is quite low on emissions and is thus great to be used as public transportation in big cities. So go ahead and pester your authorities!
