| Have a sweet tooth that just can’t be satisfied? Tap into luxury brand De Grisogono’s new Sugar Watch, which will make its public debut at the next edition of Baselworld (April 25 to May 2.) It’s not hard to figure out the inspiration behind this line— the proof is in the pudding— or the name, I should say. |

| We’ve all seen the seductive campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana’s updated version of its iconic luxury fragrance, “Pour Femme,” but we just got our hands on the bottle for the first time, and we must say we’re in love. First released in 1992, the luxury brand released an updated version of its signature scent last year to appeal to the modern woman. And so far, the new and improved version of “Pour Femme” makes us weak in the knees. |

| Described as a “cocktail" collection (and if that’s the case, we will gladly take a drink) by designers Sharon Wauchob and Ricky Hendry of luxury brand EDUN, the label's Fall 2013 collection drew inspiration from a variety of different subcultures, including mod, biker and grunge looks. By depicting a range of different scenes and eras, the designs are surprisingly cohesive and ensembles were strikingly put together at the New York Fashion Week runway show. |

| There is something so enchanting about a powerful woman wearing delicate luxury intimates. In recent years, this juxtaposition of a strong woman donning soft lingerie has taken the backseat to intimate apparel with little detail and obvious— at times even vulgar— sex appeal. But New York-based lingerie designer Melissa Franchi thinks old school— more specifically, Old Hollywood glamour, with Nevaeh Intimates. |

| At first glance, the luxury fashion world can seem like a cold and unforgiving industry, given its stone-faced models and tight-lipped critics. Reality television has given us a peek into what goes on behind-the-scenes of the exclusive fashion world, first with Tyra Banks’s America’s Next Top Model and now with Naomi Campbell’s The Face. |

| Whether you've been pigging out recently or not, your body is constantly at work digesting food, which puts a lot of stress on internal functioning and can result in symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and circulatory problems (you know that feeling of having to catch your breath after walking up a flight of stairs). To help restore your health and wellness, you might want to look into doing a detox— it's a great method for shedding wintertime sluggishness by removing harmful substances from the body. |

| If you’ve got a thing for tailored comfort, then luxury designer Kris Van Assche’s menswear collection for Fall 2013 may just be for you. What starts as your everyday line of traditional charcoal and black knit designs quickly turns into a versatile line of formal dress and sportswear all-in-one. The collection has such a range from youthful to adult clothing that any businessman who still feels his college boy tendencies beneath his expertly-tailored suit may just have hit the jackpot upon discovering this line. |

| One Virginia woman's idea of a Fantasy Bra is much different than the $2.5 million stunner that Victoria’s Secret angel Alessandra Ambrosio wore down the runway a few months ago. After getting 118,000 supporting signatures, Allana Maiden and her mother Debbie Barrett approached Victoria’s Secret this morning with their proposition for the luxury brand to make special bras for breast cancer survivors. Victoria’s Secret responded to the “survivor bra” petition by inviting the mother/daughter duo to discuss the idea further at the Ohio headquarters of Limited Brands (Victoria’s Secret’s parent company) after Maiden and Barrett presented the signatures to Tammy Roberts Myers, Vice |

| Givenchy’s talented luxury designer, Riccardo Tisci, is perhaps best known to the general public for his ferocious graphics. Last season, for example, his angry dog T-shirt was worn by a multitude of celebrities and subsequently found scattered all throughout the blogosphere. While this season’s menswear collection for fall still features interesting graphics, they are far less "rabid dog" and much more religious and reminiscent of Latin culture. |

| If ever there were an enchanted forest in real life, it was the one seen at last week’s Chanel show held at the Grand Palais in Paris, at which designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Couture collection for the luxury brand. Actual trees and shrubbery were shipped in one-by-one to the venue at which Lagerfeld has presented in the past. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was apparently the inspiration for the show, and the actual collection is just as fascinating as the set itself. |

| Luxury designer Thom Browne has been making headlines as of late due to his stunning designs that were recently worn by the always-stylish FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, to her husband’s public swearing-in ceremony. Credited with revolutionizing men’s suits, Thom Browne is known for updating classic silhouettes with unexpected proportions, and his most recent ready-to-wear collection for men falls perfectly in line with this principle. |

| Just as family matriarchs sometimes pass down treasured items like engagement rings and other family jewels, one piece that men like to pass down is a high quality timepiece. Passing down a luxury watch is an effective and affectionate way to be remembered, but choosing the right watch can be a process. While there are several factors to consider, remember that this is what makes choosing a legacy piece sentimental and special. Below, I’ve put together some tips to help you choose a great heirloom watch that will be treasured for years to come. |

| While February may be known as the month of love, this year there is a dazzling event that has us drooling more than any box of truffles ever could (an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, might we add.) This February marks the debut of quintessential New York City luxury brand Alice + Olivia’s handbag collection. Our favorite fashionista and fit mommy, Gwyneth Paltrow, was lucky enough to get her hands on one of these chic bags before they even hit stores— and not surprisingly, she is already a fan. |

| It's the New Year, and like many people, you may have a few resolutions in mind. Quitting smoking and eating healthier may seem like cliché's because they get the most hype, but the truth is they are probably the hardest goals to accomplish. Just ask renowned restaurateur and co-host of Master Chef, Joe Bastianich. Like many people in the restaurant industry, he was a heavy smoker and even got to the point where he was smoking more than two-and-a-half packs of cigarettes per day. But the good news is that he successfully quit and is now focused on treating his body well to live a full and healthy life. Here, he discusses the challenges and benefits of quitting and how it has encouraged more healthy habits in other aspects of his life. |

| Burberry opened its autumn/ winter RTW show at Milan’s fashion week to the awakening sound of cathedral church bells against a darkened city-scape background — London of course. Are they heralding something new and exciting? Most likely, because Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Director of Burberry since 2009, has been revamping the brand significantly during his tenure — modernizing the heritage classic, and ushering it into the technological age. |

| Have you ever really stopped to think about the presentation of plants? Well, probably not, but not everyone thinks in the same fashion as the luxury designer of top design house Dior, Raf Simons. As Simons so shrewdly noted, there is a major difference between mere flora and manicured gardens. This distinction led the designer to allow artificial colors and nature-inspired shapes appear throughout the collection with a show premise that was said by Simons to be inspired by “the very idea of spring.” |

| Classy and chic with quirky tendencies that make both men and women fall in love? It is truly no wonder that Ann Taylor has decided to make celebrity news and re-sign blonde beauty Kate Hudson as face of their retail chain. This time, Kate will also be broadening her role and trying her hand as guest fashion designer on a capsule collection for the summer. Alongside creative director at Ann Taylor, Lisa Axelson, Hudson helped to create looks inspired by red-hot red-carpet fashion but reinterpreted for day-to-day occasions. |
