Swarovski crystal is having a pretty noteworthy month here on StyleList, first Annie found this outrageous piece of crystal-encrusted luggage, and now this. Apparently, Swarovski has made a deal with Harper's Bazaar to feature small crystals arranged into stars on their November cover. They have done a crystal-studded cover before -- back in September of last year. This year, in honor of the financial meltdown of 2008 they're doing it again.

Seems a bit excessive doesn't it, kinda bad timing with whole economic situation and all? What's next, a crystal-encrusted toilet seat cover? From what we can gather on the interweb, this crystal-studded collector's issue is only distributed in the London area. Everyone else gets sparkly stickers. Bummer for everybody else.

The other noteworthy feature of this collector's issue is the fact that all of the copy is printed on the plastic sleeve. So when you bust out the mag you have a clean cover, perfect for admiring. That's good, because for most readers, that's probably the only Swarovski crystal that they own -- and of course you got to show that stuff off.
