Louis Vuitton collaborated with Richard Prince for a spring line of handbags, and now they’ve taken it a step further and created a special limited edition version to celebrate Prince’s first solo exhibition (called “Continuation”) that will take place at the Serpentine Gallery (in the UK) from June 26 - Sept 7.

There will be 50 of the ostrich and canvas Jamais bags available (numbered and signed of course) at Vuitton’s Sloane Street store in London and each will be priced at about $17,800.

Father’s Day is just a couple of weeks away and many may still be searching for that perfect gift … or are they? According to a recent poll, spending money on good ol’ dad is in decline as gas and groceries soar to new heights. It used to be that many of us would do more than the standard greeting card, but over half of today’s consumers (68.4%) will spend an average of $7.49 which includes a trip to Hallmark and maybe an extra doo-dad or two (no funny use of the word “dad” intended). Although 32% of you will head to a department store for the perfect tie or cologne, my thought is spend the money on something you can do together instead of something you’re not sure he’ll ever use.

I love the outdoors, and I love to bring the outdoors indoors, so it’s no surprise that I’m in love with this Entwined Root furniture from Viva Terra. I agree with Daily Dose that these pieces should be used sparingly but if I get a bigger house someday I’ll be looking to make room for more than just one of these unique pieces. Handmade from 100% reclaimed wood from fallen roots, branches, and trunks (trees are never cut down) each piece obviously ends up completely different from every other piece. The collection includes numerous furniture items including a table, mirror, coat stand, and stool. $149-$498

The first scent from Porsche Design Group will debut this fall. The men’s scent — “The Essence by Porsche Design” — was developed jointly by the Porsche SE subsidiary producing high-end accessories and Groupe Clarins’ Parfums Azzaro. As reported in Women’s Wear Daily, “It is a name everyone knows; next to ‘Porsche’ is the word ‘design,’ which is something modern and in the l’air du temps,” said Gérard Delcour, president of Parfums Azzaro and Porsche Design Fragrances.

The Porsche Design U.S. collection will include a 1.7-oz. eau de toilette spray for $54, a 2.7-oz. eau de toilette spray for $70, a 6.7-oz. hair and body shampoo for $28, and a 2.5-oz. stick deodorant for $20. A 2.7-oz. “luxury” eau de toilette spray (in black glass, as compared to the blue glass in the rest of the collection) for $80 is scheduled to come out in the U.S. in November. Just in time for the winter holiday gift-giving season, of course!
