Glitterati: UnEarthed

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 03:30:33 PDT

UnEarthed, by sisters Gina and Karen Koenig, is a result of a mutual love of fashion, art and leathercraft. All three elements are evidenced in the sophisticated-cum-edgy collection of cuffs, earrings and bangles. The duo vowed never to use embossed leathers and imitation skins, so everything you see is made of real crocodile, alligator and snake skin, even this Plum Snakeskin Silver Cuff, $33. The color is obtained by a dye and the slick sheen by hand polishing. Just the perfect accessories for a Wild Thing!

A DIY Foot Scrub That's Quick, Easy, and Affordable

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 01:05:00 PDT

Here's a quick and easy DIY foot scrub post from OnSugar blog Beautiful Basics.

When my feet are feeling more like alligator skin than feet, I whip up a batch of my favorite foot scrub ever! It helps my feet look and feel their best. All you need is:

Olive Oil
Brown Sugar
Sea Salt

I don't have specific measurements for you because I just make it by feel. You'll know what I'm talking about when you make up your own. You don't want it to be too thick, or too runny. You also want more brown sugar than sea salt. Rub onto your damp feet and massage for as long as you'd like. It feels lovely, albeit a bit tickly for those with sensitive feet, like myself. When you rinse, you'll have the smoothest feet you have ever had. I guarantee it!

Allie Merriam — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:45:25 PDT

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's The Row handbags were the center of attention at a party hosted at Barneys in NYC last night. Ashley and Mary-Kate had support from friends and various fashion editors, in addition to a cameo from their younger actress sister Lizzie. Both Mary-Kate and Ashley were decked out in outfits from the line, and carried two items from the new bag collection. They mingled with Barneys' Amanda Brooks and Simon Doonan at the store before moving on for a celebratory dinner at Crown. Mary-Kate and Ashley introduced nine bags made out lux fabrics like ostrich and alligator skin, and they're all priced between $2,000 and $15,000. Prices are a little lower at the Olsens' other new endeavor. Mary-Kate and Ashley's StyleMint t-shirts are selling for $29.99 each and already have a famous fan in Jennifer Garner.

Luxury men's outfitter David August has released a line of accessories that includes the world's most expensive iPad case. While there are plenty of pricey gadget accessories to go around (including this overpriced Prada number), this one takes the cake for over-the-top accessories.

The case is made from "the world's finest alligator skin" and is hand cut and sewn by Italian artisans. The full accessory set of five pieces costs $37,800, and each piece is available in a range of colors, in glazed or matte finish, and completely customizable.

Can you guess how much the iPad case costs?

Luxurious Geek: Domenico Vacca iPad Case

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:30:49 PDT

Maybe you should sit down. This iPad case? It's $3,900. This luscious Domenico Vacca number costs eight times that of a WiFi-enabled iPad (which seems to be a growing trend among gadget accessories), and it should - it's made from the finest genuine alligator skin, crafted in Italy, and comes in 25 different shades.

The first batch of these hard-to-come-by cases sold out in a flash, but good news for those of you who have a spare grand or two lying around the house - more are being made as we speak.
