The time has come again to present the Fabulous Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor. Her stunning pieces will be auctioned off for the second time on the 30th of November at Sotheby’s London. Watching the Video does give you a taste of a time never to be repeated.
I am still looking for my Price charming, however knowing my luck I will most likely get the charming without the Prince.

Bentley/Astor & Black
Well Bentley and the suit firm Astor & Black have teamed up in a way that harps back to a time gone by. Astor & Black will provide you with a custom made suit free of charge if you drive out of the showroom with a new Bentley. Only applies If you happen to reside in the States or Canada.
I took the time out tocheck out their wares , I must admit I would be by the tailors a long time until they were able to make something worthy of the name tailor made. They seemed a bit lacking in the creative department. Maybe that is why the offer is limited to North America. Just saying.
(Then again unless a gun was involved I would not be driving out of the show room with a new Bentley)

The Benarrow PB5
What started out as a dream became a reality when Mr Bernd Benninghoven, in celebrating his companys 100th birthday, decided he would like to mark the occasion by making his dream sports car. ( as that is what one does)
This feat was developed at the University of Coventry,then manufactured in Englang and Germany. The Benarrow the PB 5 is based on the Audi S5
I will not get into the spec as I have no idea what I am talking about. They have already sold three and plan on making 2 per month.
I would like to add that this car shows you what a good old fashioned hand job can produce these days.
Price: Well over 200,000 Euros

Boucheron Femme 2010.
Okay now Boucheron together with Baccarat, have teamed up to produce this eye popping fragrance. It is not just the fragrance which has ‘ hints of amber, mandarin and Italian bergamot, galbanum and basil, finished with a pulp of apricots and golden vanilla.’
( Got to love those descriptions, as I am sure only Patrick Süskind would be able to tell if the description above was correct.) I’m still concentrating on the bottle, I’m sure I could wear it. Which by the way is made up of a ring eighteen karat gold worth, and features forty diamonds and twenty four sapphires.
Price Not a clue.

Whiskey.
Scotch Whisky maker Highland Park have released a rare edition 1964 Orcadian Vintage Series whisky.
The reason I have this here is because of the description which I had to share.
The expression of the Vintage Series 1964 is closely associated with the other whisky’s from Highland Park, however it is combined with a fascinating spiciness, crushed black pepper, crème brulée and a toasted vanilla pod has been added to the complexity.
Finally, the rare whisky consists of water to reintroduce the smell encountered on the nose accompanied by distinctive hints of smoked cheddar, vanilla sponge and paprika.
I am still wondering if I missed the piece of meat.
Price : 4,589.06 EUR

José Maria Reina
It’s hard for me to say but sometimes you just need a bit of simplicity. Designed by José Maria Reina for the firm Nomon. At 70cm I would say that is a lot of time on your wall.
( I don’t know why but I just feel I should be seeing hamsters)
