Men's bag - Paul Smith

First to recommend

Description

Investing in this Paul Smith bag may be worth every penny - soon the bag's embellishment may be worth more than your 401K! I'm sorry, bad joke. But this Union Jack-patterned coin bag is rather fun nonetheless.

Rodial Glam Balm

First to recommend

Description

Rodial Glam Balm is an anti-aging multi-purpose skin treatment for face, lips, neck and hands. It nourishes, refines wrinkles and plumps up collagen on skin and lips.

Sounding self-indulgent? Rodial will donate a portion of the proceeds of your purchase to Five & Alive. The organization provides children and their families with the education, products, services and care needed to improve health and save lives in more than 30 countries. Now that's a beautiful buy.

Description

Summer may be drawing to a close, but who could resist the purchase of one last great sun dress? Topshop's Zip Trim Dress has a perfect ruffle to add a bit of frilly fun to your August - and since it's wool, it will lead you into fall quite nicely.

I adore Olivia Morris shoes and so does Lindsay Lohan - who could argue with style mavens like us? Straight from the UK, these flats are divine - comfortable and so chic.

Mulberry Bayswater leather bag

First to recommend

Description

Steal some style inspiration from the UK and purchase a Mulberry Bayswater bag. In soft leather, this is a bag that is about quality. It is timeless and elegant, and even Kate Moss has been seen toting her Mulberry around lately. (via WhoWhatWearDaily)

Links of London - Annoushka Hope Ring

First to recommend

Description

I love Links of London - it's the Tiffany's of the UK and I'd wear practically anything from their shoppe (spelling intentional). The Annoushka Hope Ring is simple and modern, which translates to versatile and chic in jewelry-terms.

Indian Style Print Vest - Kate Moss

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Not what us Americans call a vest, but fabulous nonetheless. Kate Moss's line at Topshop can be sampled at some Barney's NY locations stateside, but to really see the goods, you'll have to shop straight from Topshop. This Indian Style tank is not to be missed.

Louis XIII Black Pearl

First to recommend

Description

There are only 395 magnum decanters of Louis XIII Black Pearl available in the world and 17 in the UK. The cognac is released from a 100 year old barrel, specially selected from the family’s cellar, which contains a blend of 1,200 Eaux de Vie some of which date back 100 years. The decanter itself is a work of art modelled on an original flask found on the family estate, each bottle is hand blown from black crystal with platinum accents and individually numbered. Each magnum pays homage to the heritage of Louis XIII de Rémy Martin.

If you're looking for the ultimate gift for someone who has EVERYTHING, please contact Selfridges UK...pronto.
