Black Tears

Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) from Bebo & Cigalo. This cd is a classic. Even if you don't speak a word of Spanish, just listen to the music of Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes and the voice of Spanish flamenco cantador Dieguito El Cigala and you will be entranced. This is the perfect cd to play at a cocktail party or when you simply want to relax at home with a glass of wine.

Refined sensuality

Cashmere and silk go together like fries and a shake. They are fine apart, but oh so much better together. Nina Ricci does justice to the two fabrics by combining them to create this sweater that is both sensual and refined at the same time. But be careful of eating too many orders of fries and shakes if you want to keep wearing this one! Your eating and wearing should both be done in moderation.

Adornment

Don't let your hands have all the fun of wearing the big jewels. Give your feet some adornment with Giuseppe Zanotti’s jeweled sandal. They will truly appreciate you for it.

Frozen Grapes

Ciroc Vodka out of France is quite unusual. It is the first vodka made from French grapes. What makes it even more distinct is that the grapes are allowed to stay on the vines through the first frost. This results in a vodka that is smooth yet has a fruity flavor. But don't just take our word for it. Try it mixed in your favorite martini or for our more discerning connoisseurs, all on its own!

Unpredictable travels

Life can be unpredictable. And sometimes we like it that way. Especially when it involves a last minute trip to some exotic locale.

Since 1947, T. Anthony has been turning out finely crafted luggage perfect for packing those essential pieces that will see you through the weekend.
