Holy water? Not quite

Filed under: News, Stylish Living

First, we had designer ice cubes. Today, we have Style.com's item of the week -- Santa Maria Novella Water, from the luxurious producer of fragrances, soaps, and herbal remedies.

This "instant cure" water dates back to the 17th century when women dressed in ridiculously too tight corsets would faint -- and this "potion" would come to the rescue. Apparently, this tiny bottle can also help ease motion sickness and improve digestion.

$13 for such a small bottle of what could potentially be straight out of the tap? Wait -- what if you put designer ice cubes into a glass of Santa Maria Novella Water?

This somehow reminds me of the $1000 mint julep served at the Kentucky Derby this year, equipped with ice straight from the Arctic.
