Lindsay 2

Lindsay Lohan‘s highly classified Playboy photo shoot leaked to the internet, one week before the issue was set to hit newsstands. The famous magazine is said to have paid $1 million for this Marilyn Monroe-inspired spread.

Her feet instantly caught my eye because I spotted a fabulous pair of tan Tribtoo suede leather pumps by Yves Saint Laurent.

A great investment and a wonderful gift for yourself. And if you put them on and nothing else, you might have found the perfect X-mas surprise for your partner as well.
To the art of seduction! It is never too late to be nice, isn’t it?

Piaget Advent 10

Seeking inspiration this Christmas? Looking for something truly special that your beloved one will always remember? A special piece of jewelry or those one-of-a-kind Altiplano watches by Piaget are a gift that everyone’s guaranteed to love. One detail that makes them so special is the enamel orchid motif on the dial.

The craftsmanship of enamelling is difficult to master, and the artisans possessing such skills are an increasingly rare breed. With precision and technique, successive layers of crushed raw enamel are applied and baked, increasing both the intensity and the purity of the colours. Although a highly risky process, after over 20 separate firings in an oven, the enamel image is set forever, and its colours retain their radiance down through the ages.

See for yourself the one-of-a-kind works of art of the enamel specialist combined with those of the Piaget watchmakers:

Piaget Altiplano watch, 38 mm. Case in 18K white gold set with 78 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.7 ct.). Dial in enamel orchid motif. Manufacture Piaget 430P ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement. Unique piece.
