I admit I have been hiding under a rock since I just discovered Flowerbomb perfume from Viktor & Rolf this weekend.  I really like the scent and apparently it is the #1 best selling fragrance at Nordstrom.  I saw this beautiful gift set that would make a fabulous gift for the holidays.

Flowerbomb Gift Set $105.

Her father, accompanied by his girlfriend L'Wren Scott, flew in from work in Paris to show his support for the new venture.

The fantasy cuffs made for Coco Chanel by the Duke of Verdura, which changed the history of modern jewelry, are being re-created in a limited-edition set. The re-creation cuffs, made from 18ct yellow gold and enamel. The Maltese cross is set with five emeralds, seven sapphires, 14 rubies, two amethysts, six aquamarines, one Madeira topaz, five citrines and one prasiolite.

The iconic bangles were made for her by the charismatic Sicilian socialite-turned-designer Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura, some time around 1930. Verdura went on to become a celebrity fine jeweler in New York and one of the most influential jewelers of his age, leaving a trail of 20th-century classics in his wake. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the designer’s New York business, Verdura, the company that still today preserves his name and heritage making jewels to his original designs, is creating a limited-edition of 70 of ‘Fulco’s cuffs’, as close to the originals as possible. Intended to be worn in pairs, each bangle has been signed and numbered.

This year, Printemps and Galeries Lafayette in Paris have decorated their windows with bunnies, bears and dolls dressed by top fashion designers. Whereas once upon a time these department store windows were devoted more straightforwardly to toys and trains, now, it seems, Christmas is all really about fashion.

Taylor Momsen is on the December issue of Nylon Japan.  Below she talks about her band The Pretty Reckless, fashion, and boys.

I always find it interesting how they market beauty products in Japan.  No matter what kind of look you are going for, chances are you’ll find it there!

The “Dolly Wink” line consists of several different fake eyelash sets with names like “Baby Cute”, “Dolly Sweet”, “Sweet Girly” and “Pure Little”. There are also eyeliners and mascara available – all in insanely cute packaging, of course. All of these products have the goal of helping you reach the near nirvana state of “adult cute”, which is the concept of Tsubasa’s Dolly Wink brand.
