Vanitas Author: Gianni Versace; Buy New: $47.25 |
Gianni Versace – just the name brings to mind visions of high fashion, haute couture, incredibly beautiful fabrics swishing by on colt-like mannequins with arched eyebrows and the highest cheekbones. Vanitas: Designs is glamour between covers as it presents the designs, ready-to-wear, accessories, jewelry and costumes by Versace.
The almost 300 folio-size, full-page startlingly colorful picturers are accompanied by texts penned by Hamish Bowles, Lady Julia Trevelyan Oman, Andre Leon Talley, and Isabella Bossi Fedrigotti. Quotes by Versace enliven the already quick paced commentary.
The section on embroidery, from buttonholes to ball gowns, features garments decorated with threads of gold and silver, bugle beads, all reflecting Versace’s eye for the imaginatively stunning.
Here is a beautiful, bold, sometimes brash collection of some of the most opulent designs in our world of fashion.

Combining advanced technology with classic form, this 1425-watt espresso machine features a powerful 17-1/2-bar pump and durable ABS plastic housing.

The machine’s adjustable steam nozzle quickly froths milk, and its hot-water dispenser conveniently provides hot water for tea, cocoa, or instant foods. Other useful features include Illy-pod capability, a 44-ounce reservoir capacity, a drip-proof system, and an automatic self-priming pump to facilitate start-up. The unit’s drop-trap basin and cup-support grating are both made of stainless steel and are easy to slide out for quick cleaning. Accessories include single/pod and double stainless-steel filter baskets, a plastic tamper, a perfect crema disk, and a 7-gram coffee scoop.

iRobot Roomba 4100/4300 Intelligent Floorvac Robotic Vacuum, Red |
Sporting a bold, solid-red exterior, this entry-level robotic floorvac is easy to use and includes an array of convenient features. Simply press the “clean” button and the unit will vacuum the whole floor, adjusting automatically to any floor surface including wood, tile linoleum, and low-to-medium pile carpet. The vacuum’s artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts the run time to ensure that it cleans the entire floor. Integrated sensors detect dirt and will increase the focus and intensity of cleaning in that area, while infra-red cliff sensors in the non-marring bumper detect stairs to keep the unit from falling, as well as furniture and walls for cleaning right up to the edge.
