Black Rolex


Time & Gems, an online Rolex watch retailer, is providing a collection of special edition watches dubbed- the Black Rolex “Diamond Like Carbon” (DLC) watches. This line of Rolex watches was treated with a special “Diamond Like Carbon” ultra-hard, military grade coating, which refines the metal alloys enhancing their strength and longevity. The DLC treatment is a secret process that is applied to the watches which enables a scratch resistive surface. The final result is a fine Rolex timepiece with a luxurious stealth-black finish. The Black Rolex DLC Special Edition watches are marked from ($6,000 to $8,000), which is pretty low end for watches of this caliber.

Gemma Ward on Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay





 
Vogue UK July 2006

These are a few images from a fashion shoot featuring Gemma Ward at Hyams Beach where I have been going to for holidays with my family for about 10 years now. I came across the shoot one day flicking through Bristish Vogue in a newsagency and recognised the beach straight away. Hyams Beach is certainitly one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with its crystal clear and turquoise waters. It is in the Guinness Book of Records for the whitest sand in the world. The sand is so white and fine that the light reflects of it - bring sunglasses! Some of my best childhood memories have taken place at Hyams Beach - building sand castles with my two brothers and sister, looking for crabs in the rock pools, going for long walks along the shore to the Naval base and swimming all day long.

I love the juxtaposition of evening glamour on a casaul beachy backdrop. I guess it goes back to my habit of always overdressing just that little bit, but only when I'm not forced to. I hate having to dress up for weddings, balls etc. because they force you to be glamourous, rather than effortless looking glamourous. There is something incredibly chic about going for a walk along the shore of the beach in a  embellished dress, barefoot, with the ocean breeze blowing through your hair - that's why beaches make such fabulous backdrops for a fashion shoot!

The season to be jolly!

Merry Christmas!!!
 I hope my readers had a wonderful and joyous day filled with lots of Christmas cheer :)

Lots of Love,
hôtel de mode

 

I apologise for my lack of posts leading up to Christmas this month. I was very busy with work, getting ready for Christmas and I went away to my parent's holiday house at Hyams Beach for a while too - lots of beach inspired clothing pieces and fashion shoots to come soon!

Bugatti 16C Galibier


Boasting an 8.0 liter 16-cylinder flex fuel engine with 800-1,000 hp and a maximum speed of 220mph, the Galibier promises not to go unnoticed. Although the 16C Galibier, which is currently a concept, hasn’t been given the official “OK” for production, I doubt Bugatti would put all this time & effort into this car and not deliver. With that being said, the Bugatti 16C Galiber is expected to be priced at $1.44 million and will not be available until production ends in 2012.

Check out a video on the Bugatti 16C Galibier along with more pics below
