Bulgari's New Serpenti Jewelry Collection

If you missed the celebrity-studded castle party that Bulgari threw in Rome last month to mark the brand's 125th anniversary, you can still get in on the action.

The iconic jewelry company -- favored by legendary actresses such as Ingrid Bergman and Elizabeth Taylor, among others -- presented its new Serpenti collection Thursday at its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City.

The new sparkling assortment of accessories includes watches, bracelets and rings that slither (rather sensuously) around wrists and fingers in links of gold, pavé diamonds, onyx and mother of pearl.

The entry price for one of these precious creatures is a cool $4,000 (for a ring) and goes up to $85K for a pavé diamond and platinum watch.

The snake motif has adorned the limbs of beautiful women since the ancient Greeks (hello, Cleopatra!) and is traditionally believed to offer talisman-like powers to its wearer. Bulgari's initial foray into retail reptilia began in the 1940s when it designed snake's-head watches.

Bulgari's new Serpenti collection debuts in October, but by then will we all be ready for a shedding of skin?

Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari - the names alone are worth drooling over. But the prices, they cause more of a gasp. Until Bluefly came into the picture, that is.

The online discount fashion mecca is teaming up with Circa, a leading buyer of pre-owned fine jewelry, to offer amazing deals on signature pieces from super-luxury jewelers.

To give a few examples: A classic Cartier bracelet that normally retails for $3,850 will be on Bluefly for $3,080 and a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace worth $4,900 will now be offered at $3,920. With these deep discounts, maybe it's the right time to treat yourself.

To kick off the partnership, Bluefly is hosting a 48-hour, invitation-only sale starting Monday, June 8.

So you scored an invite to a swanky poolside bash this summer, or, maybe it's not so swanky, but you still have people there you want to seriously impress. No doubt you're going to sport some killer shoes, and you'll probably have a fabulous bathing suit and cover-up planned. To finish the look, though, don't forget your sunglasses!

"Haute-tels" - designer hotels

Email thisPosted Sep 18th 2006 at 3:40PM by Sarah J. Gim

karl lagerfeld and schlosshotel, germany

I'm calling them "haute-tels" because they are luxury resort hotels that are being built by fashion designers.

Back in 2004, when Bulgari teamed up with Marriott/Ritz Carlton, there was no connection between fashion and travel, except for designers and models shacking up in fancy hotels on their glamorous globe-trots. But today, everyone from Betsey Johnson to Vera Wang is getting into the hotel and hospitality world. However, according to Forbes, industry analysts are skeptical because not only is the hospitality industry notoriously difficult (as if fashion isn't -- pshaw!), but diluting a specialty luxury brand is risky. Designers, though seem to want exactly that -- expanding their specialty reputation in shoes or leather or ballgowns into a "lifestyle brand."

Here are Forbes' 10 picks for designer hotels:

Anouska Hempel has four hotels around the globe: Blakes London, Blakes Amsterdam, The Hempel (London) and Warapuru (Brazil). www.anouskahempeldesign.com
Betsey Johnson's Betseyville is on the Pacific coast of Mexico. www.betseyville.com
Bulgari Hotels and Resorts are currently in Milan and Bali, with more to open. www.bulgarihotels.com
Casual footwear maker Camper has a hotel in Barcelona, Spain near their headquarters. www.camper.es
Salvatore Ferregamo has teamed up with luxury hotelier Lungarno Hotels, with the newest property opened above a Ferragamo boutique in Rome. www.lungarnohotels.com
In the playground for billionaires, Dubai developer EMAAR has invested $1 billion in Giorgio Armani's Armani Hotels, the first of which will open in Dubai in 2008. www.emaar.com
Karl Lagerfeld has re-done a German castle into the Schlosshotel in Grunewald. www.schlosshotelberlin.com
K Club in Barbuda, West Indies is the property of Mariuccia Mandelli, the designer behind Krizia. www.kclubbarbuda.com
Though she doesn't own the entire hotel, Vera Wang has designed a suite in the Halekulani Resort on Oahu. www.halekulani.com
Donatella Versace has built the palatial Palazzo Versace in Australia. www.palazzoversace.com.au.
