USB Memory Keys from Swarovski and Philips

Philips and Swarovski teamed up in order to complete the "Active Crystals" collection with a polished USB flash drive.

The gizmo can be protected by a user password in order to protect your data in case it gets stolen by one of your stalkers. And, here comes the 4 again. It comes in different flavors: Heart Ware, HeartBeat, Lock In and Lock Out.

Heart Ware and Heart Beat are worn as pendants and open to reveal a USB key with 1GB of memory – that’s space for around 1000 photos or 250 songs! The Lock In and Lock Out babies attach to a keychain and also flash 1GB innards

The Active Crystals collection is available on Swarovski website and each USB Memory Key retail for $180.

Luxury Spring Water More Expensive Than Oil

Bling H2O, was supposed to be the most expensive bottle of water until we found “Fillico Beverly Hills“, a premium line of spring water from a company name Vieluce in Osaka, being sold at $100 per bottle.

Fillico Beverley Hills contains water from a natural spring at the foot of Mount Rokko in Kobe, Japan. The spring is very famous for producing excellent water for Sake production and each bottle contains 750 ml of precious liquid. Due to the limited supply of spring water, only 5,000 bottles are sold each month.

Of course if paying $100 for a bottle of water is not enough, you can also buy the limited edition called “the King and Queen versions” which cost about 230$ each.

Their caps are more like crowns of royalty and are decorated with Swavorski crystals and carved with gold paint.

Bottled water isn’t just expensive but a major waste of resources as well... so, once it is empty, you can refill your precious bottle in your kitchen, for free ^_^

Swarovski Encrusted iPhone Pouch by Mercedes

Part of the GLK collection, the new iPhone pouch is crafted from the finest quality white nappa leather with crisp cut-out transparent GLK lettering– a characteristic feature of the entire GLK Collection – that has been lavishly trimmed with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements.

The effect is eye-catching: when the iPhone is actually inserted and the display is activated, the refraction of light through the fine-cut crystals ensures that the GLK lettering shimmers in an attractive play of colours. Inside the GLK iPhone® pouch is lined with a special magenta-coloured fabric.

Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH has been working closely with the Austrian crystal specialist Swarovski for some time now. The strictly limited edition of 40 exclusive, glittering iPhone® pouches will be exclusively raffled for invited guests of Mercedes-Benz in the Lounge.

Only 40 are set for immediate production, with each set to be raffled for invited guests of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in the Lounge. But not to worry, the iPhone pouch will certainly make its official debut as part of the Mercedes GLK Collection come October. Though, for drivers of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the GLK-Class offers a convenient and secure connection for the iPhone on board with the usual multifunction steering wheel control.
