This June completes a century, since Rolls-Royce embarked on the Austrian Alpine Trials, the most gruesome test of automotive endurance of that time. Four silver Ghosts along with a Rolls-Royce Works Team and private entrant James Radley covered over 1,820 miles of impossibly obstructed mountain terrain before the brand earned its title, as makers of the ‘Best Car in the World.’ Now, a hundred years later Rolls-Royce commemorates this moment in their history, by having the bespoke division develop an Alpine Trial Centenary Collection. It would be a first for a bespoke model to take its inspiration from a heritage Rolls-Royce. The collection finds its muse in Radley’s Silver Ghost, giving the custom-made model its baby-blue color paint with black grille and wheels. The interiors hosts the bespoke story of the Alpine trials with the clock displaying the stages of the rally and timings, whilst inlays to rear picnic tables and the front fascia express the topography and distances of the Alpine route.

Adding to its already usual features, the toilet now includes a USB port, SD card reader, Bluetooth receiver, accessible battery pack, and ambient lighting. Your commode has just reached another eccentric level. The USB port enables quicker software updates while the Bluetooth receiver allows you to stream tunes while on the pot.

1920’s was the decade where rules were meant to be broken. Fashion took a leap into the modern era; past years clothing took a backseat, while comfort and style came in first. A time of short skirts, long necklaces, dangling earring, and beaded bags. Jewelry of the era ranged from more traditional pieces, with influences of the previous decades' art nouveau, to bolder geometric Art Deco pieces. Tiffany & Co. has recreated pieces from that era in its latest collection, which is inspired by the 20’s themed movie ‘The Great Gatsby.’ Adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, ‘The great Gatsby’ will premiere in theatres on May 2013. Harrods with their jazz bar and now Tiffany aims to sweep its customers into that era, as they give their New York flagship store a 20’s makeover. The window showcases are covered with grand crystal pillars, glass bubbles and sparkly jewels, all part of the elaborate grandeur featured in the five key party scenes in the upcoming movie. The jewelry is emphasized by the over the top display.
