Glam Picks

The Chanel Bicycle

Chanel presents the $1200 limited edition leather and aluminum bike for SS2008 season. What better way to get in shape than in style? The 36 lb bike is designed with Chanel's trademark quilted leather complete with eight speeds, a leather seat, a fashionable saddlebag with the famous Chanel logo, and comes with jeweled pant clips. Less than 50 have been manufactured worldwide and only 19 were shipped to the US. The bike is sold at Neiman's but is at auction at Pamela Z Luxury online.



Chihuly Chandeliers
Chandeliers have been household showpieces for the rich and glamorous for ages. Amazing glass artist Dale Chihuly has taken this trend and popularized it with a fabulous new twist. His amazing installations are fast becoming the new must have in modern home decor. Here are a few of his designs.




I was able to travel to Tacoma, Washington (Chihuly's home town) to view an exhibit of his spectacular work. If you're unable to see an actual exhibit, check out his website for pictures and more information.


The Golden Opulence Sundae

The world famous Golden Opulence Sundae cost roughly $1000 and is available exclusively at celeb hot spot Serendipity on 60th St. in New York City. This high ticket desert comes complete with five scoops of premium vanilla ice cream made from Tahitian Vanilla beans and Madagascar Vanilla covered in 23k edible gold leaf. It is then drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana and chunks of rare Chuao Chocolate. Then suffused with Parisian candied fruit, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. A petite bowl of Grand Passion Caviar is placed on top and served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18k gold spoon (which some patrons keep). Lastly the delicious work of art is topped with a gilded sugar flower by famous cake maker Ron Ben-Israel.

Check out Serendipity's website for more info.
