Presenting The Lacoste Lab

The Lacoste Lab revives the tradition of innovation, an integral part of the brand’s DNA. Besides being a tennis champion, René Lacoste was also a great inventor and designer.

He invented and designed for his own comfort and efficiency on court, he also created technical and revolutionary tennis rackets, balls, golf clubs and golf bags as well as the first ever tennis-ball throwing machine.

The artifacts produced by the LACOSTE LAB naturally build a bridge between the brand’s heritage and its future.

Looking For A Pied-à-Terre In L.A. !?

If you are looking for a "petit" pied-à-terre in Los Angeles then don't look any further! Well you may (like me) have to look for the $34,950,000 required to put your name on the mailbox of this amazing modern villa located 755 Sarbonne in the famous Holmby Hills! Yes it may be a little bit expensive but one thing is for sure it does not cost a penny to dream ;-)

A gorgeous pool overlooking the city, 15,000sqft, 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms (seriously, who need twice as many bathrooms as bedrooms!?) glamorous dining room, wine cellar, screening room, and magnificent kitchen family room. A soaring sculptural staircase leads to 5 bedrooms, gym and luxurious master suite with dual baths and vast closets ... more details here. and more photos after the jump.

France / Evian By Courrèges

Evian has this year partnered up with French fashion designer Courrèges to imagine a new limited edition bottle. Courrèges is known for pioneering key trends though the decades, from introducing pants for women in 1963 to starting the mini-skirt revolution. Vive la France !!!!

To celebrate its launch in conjunction with Fashion’s Night Out, Evian by Courrèges is now available at Jeffrey New York and Colette in Paris.

France / The PalmShower by Dometti

So if you are looking for a "conversation piece" for your garden or rooftop terrace, then you may want to have a look at Dometti latest called PalmShower.

Ok something shaped as a palm is a tiny little bit too kitsch for my taste but wait until you see how this baby works. Shower, misting system, sound system with chromatherapy benefits ... and it's all controlled from your iPhone!



"PalmShower's sharp and smooth design is both unusual and contemporary . The leaves hide a complex system of misting, showering and LED and LED lightting adjustable to different situations. Plumbing and electricity are fitted in the resin polyester structure, just like a boat's body. Leaves can be folded along the trunk to optimize resistance to poor weather conditions thanks to a motorized system. The PalmShower socket contains a tub to receive water, a non-skid surface and LED spotlights." [source]

Hot Spot / Grace Santorini Hotel Greece

Are you going to Europe this summer !? If you are still thinking of the perfect summer destination make sure to have a look at the beautiful Greek island of Santorini (my favorite with Mykonos). The Grace Santorini is an exceptional boutique hotel for an exceptional destination.

The hotel has 1 two-bedroom and 2 one-bedroom Grace Suites for an average of €1275 per night but also VIP Suites for €800 all with large private terrace with and plunge pool (plunge just being a fancy word for small).

The "standard" Deluxe rooms are €375/night and you will have to use the two swimming pools with the commoners ;-)
