I simply love the style of a pocket watch.  Granted, it’s not something that he’ll take with him every single day.  But for those dress up occasions, it’s an awesome thing to have.

What is it about tie-dye that seems to just ooze summer spirit? I don’t know if it’s the bright colors or the fond memories of wringing out freshly-dipped t-shirts on the backyard lawn, but I was always secretly rooting for a tie-dye comeback that didn’t look too homemade or too hippie. As if the almighty trendsetters read my mind (it’s about time!), tie-dye has been sprouting up all over the place — high-end and affordable retailers alike — in every place imaginable, from shoes to shades! While stereotypically the print has always been associated with peace signs, flower children, and campy arts and crafts, this season it’s keeping it casual with thong sandals and dressing it up in the form of sexy minidresses .

In what is likely to be the first of several auctions, Michael Jackson’s estimated $500 million debt was chipped away by $205,000. This is far ahead of the initial estimates of $10,000 to $12,000 , showing signs of life in at least one corner of the auction market today. The auction was not a knee-jerk reaction to the entertainer’s death, as it had been scheduled prior to his demise.

I’ve never considered a handbag could double as a self-defense mechanism, unless it had a brick inside or something equally heavy, but Alexander McQueen’s Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch would certainly bring more than a slap to an unwelcome visitor’s body. Accenting the top ridge of this richly covered bag are skull and crystal rings in dark colors adding a subtle bit of glamour.
