Everyday is Kiehl's day


Well, at least that’s true for Beauty Junkie! While Kiehl’s Day is actually November 12, the company will be celebrating all this week with free giveaways every day. Why all the fuss? Back in 2003, Mayor Bloomberg made it official after Kiehl’s Since 1851 planted a new pear tree on the corner of 13th Street and Third Avenue outside its store. Why that location you ask? In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant planted a tree in what would become that exact intersection. It lived for over 200 years and was once thought to be the oldest living thing in New York! But this year, shoppers at free-standing stores and www.kiehls.com can vote for the newest addition to the Pear Tree Corner collection. So continue rocking the vote, chicettes!

Fun with Meisel


Fancy spending Christmas with Steven Meisel? For a cool $750, your prayers can be answered this festive season—via jigsaw puzzle format, that is. Destined to be headlining gift lists of the fashion-fluent over the coming weeks is a limited-edition puzzle (manufactured by Editions Ricordi) imprinted with one of the famed photographer’s most popular works from the pages of Vogue Italia. The December 2007 print-on-print editorial featuring model Meghan Collison in a pin-up pose comes in a custom-made cloth box, signed and numbered by the lensman himself.

Best of all, the densely patterned image guarantees hours of fun for everyone! Fellow photography buffs would do well to get their requests in quickly, however: Preorders start today through Art + Commerce at Shop.artandcommerce.com.

How old is he?

Meltdown the Economy


Underscoring the vulnerability of small fashion businesses in the economic downturn, two labels founded by Danish designers have been shuttered. London-based Danish designer Jens Laugesen, known for his minimalist and androgynous designs, has closed his signature label after six years. That closure follows last month’s news that Danish luxury brand Camilla Staerk was shut by its owner, Danish fashion giant Bestseller, which, via a company called MTHP A/S, had financed Staerk since 2003.

Blue time


Despite our preference for non-humongous wristwatches, we've long been fond of those from Officine Panerai. As the former supplier to the Royal Italian Navy, Panerai perfected the world's first underwater watches in the thirties. They weren't dainty then, and they're not now, either; pictured above is the watchmaker's latest release, a 44-mm limited-edition Luminor Chrono Daylight, water-resistant to 100 meters, which comes with a titanium case and band, and whose dial is blue (not the line's traditional black). Price and availability are, of course, still TBD, but the watch will make its debut in January at SIHH in Geneva. Consider this an early preview: The company says it won't be available here until the middle of next year.

Piaget, Personalized


We’ve coveted the Piaget collector cases for a long time (each can store up to 51 watches ) but now we’ve discovered the beauty of personalization. Case in point: our Chic Report one-of-a-kind storage. You can choose your own font and color. Why not engrave the thing in a foreign language?

BMW love Eco with their dignity


BMW is building a "breakthrough green supercar" that's said to be "the equivalent of a modern-day" version of the coolest Bimmer ever. The coupe's design is supposedly similar to the M1 Hommage concept and will use the brand's Efficient Dynamics system, which (among other things) recycles brake energy to reduce fuel consumption. I prefer black one, book me now!

no more silly toy


I'm not sure it's a real toy for kids but if one kid could play this, he or she might be so genious and promising , hahahah, good taste kiddo ( i'm thinking what will he or she dress like Suri !! )

Zaha's moment


The high priestess of architecture has a new two-venue installation series opening tomorrow in New York. The installations derive from Hadid's large-scale projects, from a desk referencing her Opera House at the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Centre to more abstract constructions that draw on her city-planning work in Istanbul. They're business as usual for the curve-loving, larger-than-life Pritzker-winner, whose hand can also currently be seen in the Big Apple at Chanel's purse-inspired Mobile Art Pavilion. The Kaiser's a big fan, but if batting aside endless queues of daffy socials isn't your idea of a fun Saturday afternoon, the Chelsea galleries may just be the perfect alternative.
Zaha Hadid opens tomorrow at Sonnabend Gallery, 536 W. 22nd St. and 169 Tenth Ave., NYC, (212) 627-1018, artnet.com

Worth to collect, Skulls!


There is only one Hirst, but more than few Fabien Barons that you can get your hands on. Moss is currently selling these beauties made of Swarovski crystals originally designed by the art director in 2005 for $1,815. Very good investment value.

New trend appear!


It's time to be creative and yes, now aim to elementary school , like Stella , she drew her backdrop to be her kid's wall and then, here, Dazed n Confused , no dazed nor confused but direct to the new direction. I luv.

From England with Love and Money


Yes it's from England if you could see the flag and it's all about money in your bag , cool , grap that if your wanna show your account without book ...Paul Smith serve you.

Not a boring Vodka


This is not parfume , seem so cool. we approached Double Cross with healthy dose of skepticism. The new vodka hails from Slovakia (apparently the only one in America to do so), and it smells a bit like Elmer's. Get past that, however, and you'll find it's exceptionally clean, with a smooth finish—in other words, just like a vodka should be. That's because it's filtered seven times with a system that incorporates (ahem) diamond dust. Gimmicky? Sure, but consider the alternative: We tried another vodka from a popular brand that shall remain anonymous (its bottle resembles a disco ball). It smelled like Sterling Cooper's carpet after a Christmas party, and didn't taste much better. So while Double Cross might trumpet itself a bit too loudly3the bottle looks pretty, for instance, but makes for a clumsy pour—it delivers good taste at a reasonable price. Consider us sold.

McQueen get drunk with BLUE


You can have all the acclaim in the world, but you haven’t made it as a designer until you design a bottle of whiskey. Alexander McQueen just designed a limited-edition ‘couture’ bottle of Chivas Regal 18-year-old whiskey. It will be launched in time for Christmas. “This is a piece of art which reflects the luxury and craftsmanship values of what Haute Couture is all about,” said McQueen in a statement. “You can see my signature ’stamp’ with the blue leather ‘dress’ and the Union Jack colors. I have created a rare collector’s item that those with an eye for design will want to keep.” Only 2,000 of these will go on sale and each one will cost about $500.

Bloody for weekend


It’s Halloween! How about a cocktail to frighten away the spirits? The folks over at Belvedere have concocted a delicious brew that also looks hauntingly like something Edward Cullen would enjoy. It’s easy to mix and shatters the boredom of a vodka soda. Make a round for your fellow midnight revelers!

Vampire Elixir

1.5 oz. Belvedere vodka

¾ oz. apricot brandy

1 oz. fresh lime juice (slightly sweetened)

Serve over ice and top with club soda. Garnish with juice from ½ pomegranate…then suck away!
