“Love inspires excitement.” This says it all about David Yurman’s new Starburst collection.

His inspiration came from a very memorable and romantic moment in his life. While in Paris, France, he and his wife were at the Eiffel Tower watching fireworks. The moment was so touching, he decided to create wearable bursts of light that would last forever and be a reminder of such a special occasion. It’s rare that this much love and creativity come together in stunning form.
Jimmy Choo’s version of the Cinderella Glass Slipper is finally here and ready for purchase. The most beloved women’s’ shoe design house has re-created the iconic glass slipper in celebration of Disney’s remake of their fairy tale movie, Cinderella.
Can you guess how many crystals are used in one of these shoes? These pointy pumps are covered with thousands of Swarovski crystals in various sizes. Number of crystals: 7000. The stunning centerpiece: 46 embroidered crystal stones.
This will be as close as it gets to a wearable version of the mystical shoe.
Wine is proof that god loves us and wants to see us happy

At Lovika, we love wine. And although we can’t call ourselves connoisseurs, we do pay attention to the little things that can turn a wine from “pretty good” to “Mmmm”.
A must-have for any wine lover is a decanter. For those who don’t already know, decanters are incredibly useful containers that provide a bit of breathing room for any liquid. Some wines taste wonderful as soon as they’re poured into a glass. Others need to touch air to soften to their most enjoyable form. Another key benefit of using a wine decanter is that it filters sediments. When wine is poured into a decanter, any sediment that may have been included is trapped in the base.
Here, we picked 15 of the most unique and exotic wine decanters that are sure to upgrade your wine and the table it sits on. A few are traditional and some are not, but each one is impeccably designed.
Whether it’s for an intimate event or a gathering of your peers, there’s no better way to make your wines stand out!
Denim is Back! Yves Saint Laurent once said “I wish I had invented blue jeans; they have expression, modesty, sex appeal, and simplicity.” It’s not surprising to see denim is continuing as a trend this 2015 Spring-Summer season. The latest take on denim comes in 2 styles: simple & clean, versus edgy & embellished (embroideries, buttons, or even fringe).
Louis Vuitton’s new monogram handbags designed for this 2015 Spring-Summer season are getting mixed reviews. As shown in the photos here, the bags keep the iconic monogram canvas, but what differentiates this season’s from their previous lines is the color.

If you are like most women, the Louis Vuitton monogram is probably etched in your memory as the luxurious, richly brown color. This one (Louis Vuitton Infrarouge Monogram) may take some getting used to. Regardless, it definitely has a bold new look.Is it worth it?
Stella McCartney’s first fragrance line is here. As we all know, smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. Everyone has at least one scent that instantly takes them back to a moment in their past. Well, Stella wants to make a similar lasting impression.
The idea behind this fragrance line is an effortless expression of femininity by using refined floral scents with a sultry amber contrast.
Stella Eau de Toilette
The Stella McCartney perfume comes in 2 types: Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfume. The Stella Eau de Toilette is a lighter version of the Parfum. They both share the same feminine spirit, but the Toilette has an updated central rose note to accentuate the fresh and elegant Bulgarian rose captured in the light.
The scent of the Parfum starts with floral top notes subtly balanced with fresh mandarin and light peonies. Once the top notes start to recede, you get to the smell of roses and amber.

There are thousands or maybe even millions of photos, articles… even entire television shows created around our incredible ideas about what a woman’s walk-in closet should be. We covered a few of our favorites here and here, but there are countless designs that appeal to women of all ages & cultures.
But the fact is, there’s another closet that all women want to love, perhaps even more than their own… HIS closet. We’re not talking about the everyday man’s version. We’re talking about the one we imagine him to dress in (and a few other things). It’s the one that gives us an extra bit of confidence in our life decisions. And even if you’re not into men, you can still admit that you want your significant other to be this capable in their endeavors.
Here’s a short list of some of the more impressive closets designed by / for men of style. Some are minimalist and some are traditional, but they are all places we would enjoy.
Men come in two types… the type that is choosy about the gifts they receive and the type that could care less. Then again, there is a gift that is guaranteed to please all men. It’s rather simple and it works every single time: sexy lingerie.
The best thing about lingerie is that you can go as bold or as conservative as you want, and either way, there will be fireworks. Here, we have selected 10 pieces of amazingly seductive lingerie to make your Valentine’s night very special.
If you are thinking about adding some new color to your style this Spring, take a look at this nail polish set by Christian Louboutin. They introduced the Spring limited edition with 3 colors – Salonue (off white), True Blue, and Hot chick (vivid yellow) – enclosed in a beautifully designed box.
A little more about these cool colors: Salonu (left) is a white cement look. The one pictured in the middle is called ‘True Blue’, which is a unique periwinkle inspired by Madonna’s hit title (according to the official site). The one on the right is the ‘Hot Chick’, which is a vibrant yellow evoking a bold yet playful seduction.
Inspired by Christian Louboutin’s Python Vulcano collection of shoes and handbags, these nail polishes come in box that can only be labelled as a color-explosion. Each of the 3 nail polish colors are used in the box design.
Stella McCartney just revealed the Falabella silver metallic bags as a part of her Summer 2015 collection and they look awesome! Many of you already know this, but she is well-known for using eco-friendly materials to create her collections (you will never see animal fur or leather in her designs).
These Falabella metallic bags are made from “cruelty-free” materials and recycled plastic bottles (used for lining). It’s always amazing to see how designers of her talent can pull of artistic fashion solely using eco-conscious materials.
This thing is everywhere lately! Japanese women can’t get enough of this Refa Carat face roller, a tool that creates firmer and more younger-looking skin.
Instead of using the dime-a-dozen laser technology that everyone else is jumping into, the Refa face roller uses a low electrical current. According to the official website, our body naturally emits low electrical currents (microcurrents) that help with circulation to keep our skin healthy. But, as we age, the activity of circulation diminishes, which eventually causes our skin to sag, become wrinkled and lose elasticity.
Refa Carat roller is designed to improve firmness and elasticity of your skin by delivering these much needed microcurrents onto your skin using 2 platinum coated balls. And, the device gets charged by sunlight or indoor light. You don’t need extra batteries or a power cord for this thing to work its magic.
The two rotating balls are specifically angled (70 degrees to be exact) in a way that when it’s rolled onto your skin, it replicates a gentle pinching and lifting sensation to maximize circulation and stimulate your skin and the muscles below.
Designed to deliver a massage focused on rolling and lifting sensations to stimulate cells and circulation (used for both facial skin and body)
While the Refa roller is mainly designed to restore healthy and younger looking facial skin, some women use it for other parts of your body including the neck, jaw line and even inner-thigh areas. The company also offers different designs including Refa Pro, O style, I style, and Refa for Body (all of them use the same technology), but the Refa Carat model has been their most popular product.
If money is not an issue:
Refa Premium is covered with 24K gold
ReFa also offers a luxury line for their customers! The “Refa Premium” offers the same technology as other Re Fa products, but this one is COVERED with 24 carat gold, which is always a bonus!
