Wanting.

Jimmyjane is having a semi-annual sale that’ll make my year. I’m obsessed with Jimmyjane Ember Massage Candles — the candles cleanly burn fragrance that balances between unexpected and easily attractive, come in an Appley jar, and drip hot wax that’s spa-grade massage oil… Jimmyjane Ember Massage Candle

Wanting.

Was $55. For you? For you I give $40. See if you can beat me to the truffle and gardenia Jimmyjane candle… Jimmyjane Ember Massage Candle

Wanting.

Wanting.

I’ve never been into iPhone condoms — the sex appeal of the iPhone is its sophisticated simplicity — I like it raw. But then I saw these Lapàporter iPhone sleeves, which echo the elegance of the economy of the super-smart phone’s design: a simple sliver of skin becomes extra choice as the shape highlights a rich python… Lapaporter Lamb Case

Using.

I love that Bottega-like basketweave. Bags are a last resort for me, so this Lapàporter iPhone sleeve is great — I can slip a credit card in here for a quickie. Errand… Lapaporter Black & Cream Case

Hating.

Wanting.

McCaul Goldsmiths crafts gorgeous gold that’s interesting without being distracting. I’m marrying myself with this double diamond ring… McCaul Goldsmiths 18 Carat Forged Gold Ring

Wearing.

I love that this McCaul Goldsmiths ring is a twisted infinity. Wear it with absolutely nothing else on… McCaul Goldsmiths 18 Carat White Gold Pave Diamond Heart Ring

Hating.

A heart feels so obvious after McCaul’s more subtle swirls. Still, McCaul Goldsmith’s worse piece is another jeweler’s best success… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/22/mccaul-goldsmiths-rings-k-is/feed 7 Jimmyjane Massage K Is… http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/20/jimmyjane-massage-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/20/jimmyjane-massage-k-is#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:46:07 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2351 Jimmyjane Contour I + Beyond Sensory Kit

Wanting.

Using.

Jimmyjane massage candles burn beautifully: there’s a line between pleasure and pain, and the candle’s hot wax deliciously drip-drops up to it… How to give an unforgettable massage with Jimmyjane.

Hating.

Or “lazing” this Beyond Massage gift set? The Beyond Message kit is actually great: three Jimmyjane massage lotions come with a palette to mix on. It just seems too complicated for when you want to wind down, curl up, and be petted… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/20/jimmyjane-massage-k-is/feed 2 L’Artisan Parfumeur K Is… http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/17/l-artisan-parfumeur-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/17/l-artisan-parfumeur-k-is#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:40:55 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2295 L'Artisan Parfumeur Votive Candle

Wanting.

I wish L’Artisan Parfumeur made a tubereuse candle–then I’d stop spritzing my bedroom and pillows with their perfume, turning L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Tubereuse into the world’s most expensive alternative to Febreze… Tubereuse by L'Artisan Parfumeur

Wearing.

L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Tubereuse is my daily. It’s feminine without being girly, distinct without being distracting — it’s one of those scents that’ll make people tell you that you smell good, not wonder what you’re wearing. I like to spray it in front of me, and walk into its cloud after I shower… L'Artisan Parfumeur Home Fragrance Spray

Hating.

So L’Artisan Parfumeur for Bottega is a good coupling: both are quiet luxury based on craftsmanship. I’m just over Big Brand for Big Brand deals… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/17/l-artisan-parfumeur-k-is/feed 0
