      <title><![CDATA[Tesla Motors Model X brings in a new chapter of eco-friendly luxury autos]]></title>
      <link>http://www.bornrich.com/tesla-motors-model-brings-chapter-eco-friendly-luxury-autos.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Wrik Sen: Ever since Tesla Motors had released news of the launch of their luxury sedans, all eyes from the auto world was on the company, to produce something that perhaps most would like to have. The answer to that is the latest Model X MUV instead, which derives its power from an eco-friendly electric power based engine. For those wondering that the vehicle would compromise on its tech features and luxury amenities, might want to think again as most of the features would match and rather exceed those with conventional engines. Designing features like the aerodynamic body, and the Falcon wing rear doors, the Model X brings in an eco-friendly answer to every high earning suburban family.


Tesla Model X




Amongst most new features in the car, the face-lifted power train has been the most interesting. Extending from near the front wheels to the rear end, it gives individualized sources of power to all the wheels, which ensures higher speeds and greater power output of the car (0-100 km/ph in less than 5 seconds). Also due to this new design, the spaciousness inside the car is fairly noticeable with the capacity to pack in 7 adults plus their luggage in the 3 rows of seats within the vehicle. With a centralized control panel, where most of the functions are monitored closely, make the operating of the car surprisingly easy. This means rough terrain driving will never be an issue on this all-wheel drive MUV. Also, since the backseat is where the kids of the family generally are seated, special care has been taken to ensure a stronger panel which can resist greater impact during accidents.

Other notable additions on the MUV include the touch-screen GPS navigation system, and the parking cameras which are extremely useful during driving in packed spaces. Perhaps this is the reason, why one wouldnt find a rear view mirror on the car, which is otherwise a standard feature on most cars. In terms of options, buyers can book from models which have different specifications in terms of distance covered by a single charge of battery; 160 miles, 230 miles, and 300 miles. The price tag would then vary depending upon this factor, but shall fall between $50,000-100,000 apart from the applicable taxes. For those that may be a bit surprised about the price tag, do note that the company has already sold out its first production run, and shall only open its booking counters next year. However, should you like to see another masterpiece from the carmaker, do check out the one-off Tag Heuer roadster, which was created in collaboration with the watch brand.

      <title><![CDATA[The Stafford Hotel in London introduces a 100,000 VIP package]]></title>
      <link>http://www.bornrich.com/stafford-hotel-london-introduces-100000-vip-package.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Wrik Sen: Every year we have seen the high end hotels celebrate their anniversaries, and offer special packages for guests willing to patronize the services, the most significant being the Trump International Hotel, which offered a crystal themed package for a price tag of $15,000. But those looking for something even more exclusive, could perhaps look at the Stafford Hotel London package, which comes with a 100,000 ($157,425) price tag in honor of the Hotels centenary this year. The Hotel owned by the Kempinski Group, has put together a package being dubbed as Ultimate VIP experience, to be cherished by guests over a 3-nights stay at the hotel.


The Stafford Hotel entrance




The 3-day VIP package would include a stay at the Hotels Governor Suite, or the more modernized Penthouse suite, which is supposed to be symbol of classic British architecture and hospitality. Other than that, there will be 10,000 (15,742) of dinner credit which the guests can avail at the Lyttelton restaurant, the American Bar, or even the in-room dining service throughout the entire stay. Since London is where tourists would prefer being driven around to enjoy the many tourist sites, there will be an allotted private luxury car, including Rolls Royce, Jaguar, or a Bentley limousine on the guests disposal at all times. For those known to have a taste of vintage wine, the Hotels 380-year old wine cellar will be accessible to exclusive tasting sessions along with a customized feast to literally soak in the experience. Chef Brendon Fyldes and Master Sommelier Gino Nardella will be taking care of the 5-course dining experience, and the wine tasting session then.


The Stafford Hotel bedroom suite

Since dressing up and looking the part of a VIP is supposedly a part of the package, guests will have customized clothing from famed tailor Henry Poole, and custom hat maker Lock &#038; Co. Londons premier jewelry designer Patrick Wyatt will also create specially made designs for the guests. This will be followed by a high-profile photo-shoot with famed photographer Alistair Morrison, who has shot top brass celebs like Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. If that wasnt just enough, there will also be a half-day spa treatment at the neighboring establishment, a speedboat tour of the Thames River, a private wine tasting session at the London Eye, and also a traditional English afternoon tea session at the Royal Academy, Highgrove House, or the Kensington Palace.



The Stafford Hotel dining hall

However, to avail this splendor package, one would have to check in for availability between Februrary 8, 2012 and December 31, 2012, when the bookings for it are open. Thats because the offering has been limited to this particular time period by the Hotels establishment.

      <link>http://www.beautysnob.com/2012/02/fall-2012-nyfw-beauty-recap-2.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s only day two of NYFW, but some beauty trends are already starting to emerge &#8212; mainly most designers are skipping the beach-y and natural and opting instead for lots of hairspray and gel. It&#8217;s also worth noting that while we&#8217;ve been seeing a number of sculptural updos, there haven&#8217;t been many simple buns or plain Jane ponytails. As for makeup the trend thus far has been to keep things light and natural (ie the exact 180 of the dominating hair look!).

Jason Wu: I know, I know people keep saying ombre is on its way out, but I&#8217;m still tempted! I shall see what my stylist says when I go get my hair cut and colored next Friday. In the meantime, I loved the look at Jason Wu even though the two tones were a bit too severe for &#8220;real life.&#8221; Black tape was used to wrap the ponytail, which I thought was original and Kerastase hair products were used to give the models&#8217; mane that great shine. On a side note, you can&#8217;t see it from the above picture, but the models&#8217; had a fantastic taupe OPI hue, San Tan-tonio, on their nails.
Douglas Hannant: Models had their nails painted with essie Mint Candy Apple &#8211; a favorite thus far &#8211; I need to get my hands on this shade!
Concept Korea: Obviously not a streetstyle look, but talk about an impressive use of hair product! I feel bad for these models when they go home and have to wash their hair&#8230;
Peter Som: More hair gel? Right this way! Created by stylists from Wella, the look at Peter Som was a mix of the slicked back and the loose/straight from the beach look. Fittingly Wella Ocean Spritz hairspray was a key product used.
Cynthia Rowley: I have to hand it to Rowley because as crazy as this look is, I actually love it. The designer was inspired by craftsmen for her collection this season and I think the controlled chaos style of the hair reflects that well.

      <link>http://www.bagsnob.com/2012/02/top-5-white-bags-the-great-white-way.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
No white shoes after Labor Day? Nobody follows that rule anymore and I certainly don&#8217;t follow any rules when it comes to bags  it&#8217;s all about what my heart desires. And right now, my heart is stark-raving mad for stark-white bags.
There is no off, warm, or even ivory in these descriptions, so keep your hands clean and these babies of the floor! High-maintenance has never been so cool and refreshing  the care is worth the satisfaction of a powerfully crisp bag.
1) Yves Saint Laurent Large White Neo Tote: Pebbled texture lends depth to this sharp tote; bold whipstitching lends interest to their trademark Y. On Ssense for $1,495.
2) Givenchy White Medium Antigona Duffle Bag: Givenchys quintessential duffle takes on a whole new meaning when its in bright white. Gold hardware just enhances the effect. On Ssense for $2,085.
3) MM6 Maison Martin Margiela White Reversible Tote: White cotton or white leather? If one side starts to look dingy, you can switch it over in between cleanings and start fresh. On Ssense for $515.
4) Nancy Gonzalez Braid-Strap Python Tote: Pearlized python is gorgeous enough, but add a chunky braided strap and this tote is now over the edge of desirability. At Bergdorf Goodman for $3,050.
5) Bottega Veneta Plume Tote: Bottega switches it up by keeping the weave to a minimum and letting solid white leather own the spotlight. At Barneys New York for $2,400.]]></description>

      <link>http://shoeblogs.com/2012/02/10/manolo-the-columnist-from-b-brian-atwood/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Manolo says, here is the Manolo&#8217;s latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.

Dear Manolo,
Valentines Day is next week, and my dreamy new boyfriend has promised me a romantic night out, with dinner and possibly dancing. Im wearing a David Meister red silk dress thats sexy-sophisticated.  Now, I need some shoes.  What do you suggest?
Stephanie

Manolo says, ayyyy!  The Dia de San Valentin, it is upon us, like the wild hyena of romance and expectation!
Woe be to the dreamy new man who does not deliver the goods!  Goods which might best be described as the sort of Chinese take-out menu of romantic items. (Please select any two from column A: Dinner at the Expensive Restaurant; French Perfume; Belgian Chocolate; Red Roses; Original Lyric Poetry; Heartfelt Expressions of Undying Love.)
Of the course, the Day of Valentines is not the walking in the park for the young womens either.  They must spend literally days in preparation, thinking about the hair and the outfit and the shoes, having extended style consultations with their gay friends, and mulling over, at exhaustive length, the romantic dynamics of their relationship.
At this early stage of the romance, all of these details are so very important.  Later, after our couple has been married the dozen years or so, all that will really matter is finding the competent babysitter to watch the kids while you enjoy the heart-shaped dessert at the Factory of the Cheesecakes.
Look!  Here is the Consort metallic leather asymmetrical platform sandals from the B Brian Atwood. Bold! Sexy!  Sophisticated!

      <link>http://freshome.com/2012/02/10/the-modern-architecture-game-are-you-up-to-the-challenege-video/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
Greatest architects, famous buildings and legendary quotes-these are just some of the modern architecture fields you will have to discover and overcome in the questions addressed by The Modern Architecture Game. Developed by Next Architects, this captivating means of socializing tests your knowledge, with no less than 1000 modern architecture questions. According to Next, &#8220;The Modern Architecture Game is the second edition of the architecture game. The first edition was launched on 30 August 1999. It was the first project collaboration involving the four partners at NEXT architects and was distributed in the private environment of Delft University of Technology. Ten years later, we\&#8217;ve produced a revised version of the game, analytically unravelled and improved. This edition is an international version, in the sense that it is produced in English, but also that the questions range right across the breadth of modern world history&#8220;.

The purpose of the game is to reach the middle of the board, before anybody else does. This is possible by answering all the questions correctly: &#8220;Give a wrong answer, and the infamous round glasses of Le Corbusier are passed on to the next player.&#8221; The design of the game was paid special attention, as the game pins are all inspired by famous modern buildings, and the board has a smooth, black construction drawing. Be sure to check out the video below for the game trailer and tell us if you are ready to take the challenge.

      <description><![CDATA[
La Vinya is a massive residence designed by studioLagula Arquitectes and located in Caldes de Malavella, Spain. This 4,560 square foot, two story, modern home has a design based on a strong indoor outdoor connection. All the patios and porches seem to extend outwards, slowly fading into the natural landscape. According to the architects, &#8220;the vision for this home is laid out around a series of symbolic spaces, in homage to a Mediterranean country villa. The home is accessed from an elevated patio, reinstating the main carriage entrances of the Palladian villas. The terrace offers magnificent views over the golf course, extending the vista from the living room and making it a privileged vantage point overlooking the landscape. Protected from view and occupying a dominant position, the swimming pool blends beautifully with the house in a spectacular bathing area in which to enjoy an exceptional sensory experience&#8221;. How do you find this architecture project?

      <link>http://www.bornrich.com/valentines-day-dress-roses-asdas-answer-bellagios-flower-art.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Nandini Maheshwari: Flowers have inspired art and design since centuries. And, with Valentines Day approaching, a bouquet of red roses is on everybodys list, no matter which gift you choose. But, Walmart-owned supermarket chain Asda has partnered with Joe Massie, an award-winning florist, to give a new meaning to the tradition of giving roses on Valentines day by designing a dress entirely made of 1,725 roses, inspired by flower power. The gown, designed for the upcoming Valentines Day, involves more than 170 hours of labor and reportedly weighs just under two stone.


Red gown





The gown features petals from 1,000 Naomi red roses all over the dress, fifteen Carmen roses and 200 chrysanthemums, decorated with gold-leaf, around the hip and skirt of the dress, and petals from 150 Purple Power roses, 75 gerberas and 300 carnations, all picked from Walmarts Valentine&#8217;s bouquet collection, to flush this creation.


Valentine&#8217;s Day dress

&#8220;I wanted to embody everything a romantic bouquet of Valentine&#8217;s Day flowers should be - classic, elegant and with a sexy twist,&#8221; says Mr. Massie.

Meet Alexander McQueens latest sensation: the Reversible Skull clutch. Aside from the obvious reasons to love this bag (sophisticated skins juxtaposed against McQueen&#8217;s bad-ass skull, all neatly strapped in with polished hardware), it is also reversible! At long last, two McQueens for the price of one!
Im loving their new sense of approachable elegance  this is a softer, more wear-able route than the awe-inducing knuckle-dusters. Happily, the hardcore, Swarovski-encrusted skull is still here; hes just a little more relaxed now. Ocelot-printed pony-hair converts into military-green canvas, and spotted karung snakeskin becomes crisp white canvas. Two options, four bags: this is the kind of quandary I could get used to!
Ocelot, $1,945, and Karung, $2070, coming soon to Alexander McQueen.com.
Pair with: Play the part of the rock n roller with Chlos enduring studded ankle boots. With an allover design of gold accents and buckles, these are hard-edged glamour at its most nonchalant. On Net-a-Porter for $1,290.]]></description>
