Chanel Bags Lover

Leave your crocs and tattered t-shirts at home, kids. This speed boat is for the fabulously fashionable. Italian yacht builder Riva and design studio Officina Italiana Design collaborated to give birth to a new era in motorboats: Aquariva, the exclusive luxury speedboat by Gucci.

The boat made its debut in September and has been making waves ever since. The two-speed electronic gear features all the power of the two 380-horsepower Yanmar engines; the boat hits a maximum speed of 41 knots and a 150-mile range at cruising speed. And in true Gucci fashion, the boat has Gucci‘s signature green and red stripes along the side.

Don’t worry, friends, if you can’t find shoes worthy enough to wear on deck, Gucci keeps a pair of signature flip-flops on board for you.

Didn’t you know? What? You didn’t? Well let us let you in on a little secret. If you want to have hot passionate sex with that hunk you’ve been drooling over, ladies, all you have to do is slap on some Gucci Guilty and the man of your dreams will miraculous appear and ravage you to completion.

Actually, that’s a lie. Why? Because it was in a commercial. No. In the real world, men don’t need much motivation at all when it comes to that particular activity. You barely have to smile and the guy already wants to hop on. But this is Gucci we’re taking about so that line of thinking is a bit crass here.

There’s no hot sex here. Nope. Gucci is a classy operation, people. What we have here is “an unprecedented combination of edge and creativity that creates a unique, hypnotic spectacle starring Evan Rachel Wood and Chris Evans.”

WTF?

It sure looked like animalistic sex to us. Why do we always have to flower over everything with bullshit like “unprecedented combination of edge and creativity that creates a unique, hypnotic spectacle?”

Oh wait. We know. Because advertising is a classy operation. It never devolves into a world whete hot, wet, sexy babes in bikinis cavort in soapy water to sell bike insurance. No. Never that.

You can thank Gucci Creative Director Frida Gianini, REM Ruini e Mariotti Creative Director Riccardo Ruini and director Frank Miler for this hot mess.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY: ONLY TWO weekends in to the Leinster League season and already the first division table has a familiar look about it, the top four from the last campaign – Railway Union, Loreto, Hermes and UCD – the only teams to win both their opening games.

UCD took six points from their double-header, Chloe Watkins marking her debut for the students with five goals in Saturday’s 7-0 drubbing of Glenanne.

And yesterday they made it two wins out of two when they beat their old friends Trinity 4-0, Rosie Carrigan scoring twice.

Trinity, though, produced a hugely encouraging performance in their opening game of the season on Saturday when they came close to holding national champions Railway to a draw. Jean McDonnell had given Railway the lead early in the second half but Alice Ward levelled for her new club before Kate Dillon denied the hosts a point with the winner 10 minutes from time.

In Booterstown, Áine Connery’s first-half goal gave Hermes the points in a closely-fought battle with Old Alexandra, while Pembroke Wanderers got off the mark with a 3-0 win over Bray.

Loreto though were the division’s top scorers, Cathy McKean getting a hat-trick in their 10-1 hammering of Corinthian.

In Munster, Cork Harlequins matched Loreto’s tally against Belvedere, Cliodhna Sargent scoring four, while Irish captain Eimear Cregan equalled Watkins’ feat by putting five past Ashton, joint top of the table until Saturday, in a 9-2 victory.

Community Projects Thrift Store’s Putting on the Glitz annual sale will take place Saturday, Oct. 2, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Jorgen Gulliksen/Register photos

The holidays are about to kick off with two of the valley’s most highly anticipated events — the special sales at Community Projects Thrifts Store.

Putting on the Glitz, a sale of holiday fashions, begins this Saturday during regular store hours. On Nov. 7, the store opens on Sunday for its special “Treasures of Holiday Past” sale.

Community Projects, a group founded during World War II, collects donations throughout the year, sells them in their thrift shop and donates the proceeds back to the community. Over the years they’ve given thousands of dollars to worthy causes — everything from buying drums for Napa High to scholarships for deserving students.

But during the year, as really special items come in, the volunteers set them aside in their sorting rooms for these two sales.

At both of them, one never knows what treasures you might find.

For “Putting on the Glitz” they bring out racks of glamorous vintage gowns, velvet, silk and satin, short and beaded, long and elegant and many with designer labels. In addition, you’ll find furs, leather jackets, sequined jackets, holiday sweaters, hats and handbags and even gloves.

And the prices are one of the most delightful surprises — you can waltz through the holidays in style, for example, knowing you spent $20 on your black velvet Dior jacket.

Matching the personal with the impersonal: boiled leather vases handmade by Simon Hasan are automatically vended at Tom Dixon’s Portobello retail lab The Dock

The vending machine has come of age. Forget chocolate or cigarettes. Machines sell you iPods at US airports, books at Rio’s subway stations and virtually anything from lingerie to eggs in Japan. You can even buy art from refurbished cigarette vending machines in the US.

Here in the UK we’ve been slow off the mark to exploit the instant gratification offered by coin- or card-operated machines. Now that’s changing as London leads the way with luxury 24/7 vending.

Unlike Japan, where machines spit out life’s basics (pot noodles, disposable cameras, umbrellas), Londoners want glamour and fun from their automats. We equate vending machines with the gorgeousness of vintage jukeboxes. And we want them to dispense goodies as seductive as hot Sixties hits.

Taking up residence in St Martin’s Lane hotel’s lobby for London Fashion Week (and in situ until October 15) is a vending machine curated by Love magazine’s editor-in-chief, Katie Grand, and stocked by Selfridges. Purchases include an Alexander Wang leather and sequin dress, a one-off pair of Rick Owens trainers, Mulberry purses, Dior nail varnish, Diptyque candles, Vivienne Westwood fragrance and Yves St Laurent Noir lipstick.

It’s been a while since our last Mad Men Style Recap–blame New York, London, and Milan Fashion Week–so this week we’re combining the last two episodes into one. Look for the Episode 10 recap tomorrow afternoon.

Starting with episode eight, The Summer Man, Mad Men took a turn away from debauchery towards mild mannered manliness. The episode opens with Don diving into a swimming pool in creme trunks, a literal fresh start for Mad Men’s tragic hero. Cut to Don sitting in his Waverly Place apartment in a brown plaid shirt and khaki pants writing in his diary about how he’s going to get his life back on track. Mad Men has been cheesy before (I’m thinking of the flashbacks that always ended with a stern, troubled, vaguely wistful look on Don’s face.), but seeing Don write in a diary was almost too much to believe. But it happened, leaving Don’s voiceover to continue throughout the episode.

Screen beauty Rachel Bilson was spotted visiting Dior in Beverly Hills.

The sexy star who is known for the role of Summer Roberts in the long running teen series ‘The O.C’ and has gone on to successes on the big screen including ‘Jumper’ alongside her then fiancée Hayden Christensen and the ensemble ‘New York, I Love You’ alongside Bradley Cooper amongst a lot of A-List stars!

Rachel will be seen next in ‘Waiting for Forever’ alongside acting legends Blythe Danner and Richard Jenkins. While there is no UK release date for the film, it is a Hollywood-set romantic tale of a guy who is content to live his life without a job yet with the love of his life, a young actress.
