Gresso USB Flash Drives K Is…

Wanting: Gresso USB Flash Drive – Labyrinth

How’s this for a trip back to the future: Gresso is a Russian luxury company that pimps limited-edition gadgets that sell for twice your mortgage payment, before you hit the fine print. So it’s Dorian Gray of me to want a USB flash drive crafted out of 200 year-old African blackwood and diamonds — at least this Gresso “Labyrinth” USB flash drive has a memory of 192GB…

Using: Gresso USB Flash Drive – Pandora

Made of African red- or blackwood, 18K gold, and a ruby or diamond that pulses with LED light, the coolest part of this Gresso “Pandora” USB flash drive is that its 64GB memory is protected with a fingerprint-scanning detector…

Hating: Gresso USB Flash Drive – New Years Collection

There’s a balance between form and function, and this Gresso “New Years” USB flash drive is tipped. It’s as absurdly luxurious as the other Gresso USB flash drives, only its use of 200 year-old Royal Mahogany wood isn’t matched by equally exceptional technology…

Silk Robes K Is…

Wanting: Mercer Hotel Silk Robe

I’m knocked down with a summer cold, so I’m delaying relaying my trip to London town, and pics of my new pet, an Hermes Kelly Danse. I’m spending my day with work, watching Dangerous Beauty, and lusting for this Mercer hotel silk robe. Maybe I can pick one up next week in New York…

Wearing: Vital Silk Robe

In a nude satin, with pleated kimono sleeves and a wrap-around belt, this reversible Vital silk robe makes being sick, sick. And for you? The nude silk robe is more than half off at Saks…

Hating: Kiki de Montparnasse “Empress” Silk Robe

With black hole-wide sleeves, a trailing hemline, and an orchid embroidered on the back, what do you do in a silk robe like this? Recite lines from Sunset Blvd.? It is on sale at Gilt.com, so maybe you should just buy it, wack off the hemline, and sport it as a dress…

Oonagh O’Hagen Designer Tote Bags K Is…

Wanting: Oonagh O’Hagen Louis Vuitton-Print Tote Bag

I stumbled on these Oonagh O’Hagen designer bag totes through Bag Snob, and they remind me of bolt-on boobs: easily bought, cheap appeal — that I’m equally repulsed and attracted to. If I ever carried one, I’d use the Louis Vuitton-print tote bag — Louis’s are already so cheese, and this would be good for grocery shopping…

Bag Snob said the only thing this Hermes-print tote bag is worthy of is dust bagging an actual Hermes bag in your closet. Good call. Say hello to your new home, Kelly Danse…

A Chanel bag doesn’t have the cultural cache of an Hermes or Louise; the Chanel-print tote bag’s winky-wink chic falls flat…

Leica DigiCams K Is…

Wanting: Leica M8.2 Rangefinder DigiCam

Camera-crafter Leica has history as an innovator, and still Leica digital cameras are built with weight, unlike most throwaway, plastic-brick digicams. And by “weight,” I mean price — this Leica digicam weighs in at $5,995. You were going to skip paying your mortgage anyway…

Using: Leica C-Lux 3 DigiCam

My little bro’s the photographer, but I can’t take a bad photo with this Leica digicam. Mostly because I’m in every photo — yep, I’m a middle child! — and I’m hot. Bah-dump chhhh…

Unscented Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps K Is…

Wanting: Dr. Bronner’s Body Balm

I love Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps — on the inside they’re eco-friendly, on the outside their seemingly minimalist packaging is a soap box for Dr. Bronner, a master soap maker who escaped a mental institution. But the best part? Dr. Bronner makes un-perfumed products, like this organic body balm…

Using: Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Soap

So choice — Dr. Bronner’s Baby-Mild Soap is gentle but thorough, and comes unscented. I shampoo my body and hair with it, so I smell like my perfume — L’artisan Parfumeur Tubereuse — and not a stew of beauty products…

Dr Bronners Hair Care Unscented Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps K Is...

Hating: Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hair Care

Dr. Bronner’s organic conditioner comes in peppermint, citrus, and lavendar, oh my. So why the hate? Dr. Bronner’s Conditioner doesn’t come unscented. And I’m so close to an unscented shower experience, littered with “all-god-in-one” packaging…

At London’s Design Museum, K Is…

Wanting.

I’m back from London: there was loads of shopping, tip-toeing through cobble stones in kitten heels, and walking across Tower Bridge to Conran’s Design Museum. The museum’s got a great cafe that overlooks the river, and tightly edited exhibitions on design. My only regret? My feet were so sore — I gave satin Loubies more wear in one day than they should see in a year — that I only glossed over the Design Museum’s exhibit on Jan Kaplický, the Czech architect behind some of Britain’s most remarkable buildings…

Vintage Chanel Suits K Is…

Wanting: Vintage Chanel Suit, 1960s

I’ve a uniform: a custom-made silk jersey tank dress, a fancy Hermes fanny pack (pictures of my pet to come, my pets), and four-inch Giuseppes. This keeps me overdressed by most LA standards, but lately I’ve been hunting for a suit to wear to rare meetings. And what beats investing in vintage Chanel? What i love most about vintage Chanel suits are their no-one-else-knows luxury, like that gold chain-weighted hem…

Vintage Chanel Suit Black Vintage Chanel Suits K Is...

Wearing: Vintage Chanel Suit, 1950s

Vintage Chanel suits purr power, like the engine of a Phantom, like the Godfather petting a kitten. Sure, the brass buttons give this Chanel suit away, but the boxy blazer skims over a blouson top, tucked into a loose skirt, all in a basic black that only serves as a background to your own beauty. This vintage Chanel suit says you don’t need to say anything…

Vintage Chanel Suit Red Vintage Chanel Suits K Is...

Hating: Vintage Chanel Suit, 1980s

The whole appeal of a vintage Chanel suit isn’t so much in a super flattering silhouette as in the quiet luxe of it, the economy of its elegance, the subtlety of its sex. So why bother with a boring red suit tagged Chanel? Thanks for nothing, Karl…

Trind Nail Care K Is…

Wanting: Trind Cuticle Balsam

I’ve been using Trind Nail Care for months, after ruining my nails with stripper nails (I know the best place in LA to get natural-looking acrylics, ask for Lily). Trind Nail Care has made my nails grow stronger and longer than they’ve ever been, and their cuticle balsam — applied daily — is magic…
