Faberge Imperiale-class Eggs

I know its past Easter but these 2016 Faberge Eggs are all that and more, perfect at anytime of the year. For the first time in almost a hundred years, Faberge made 5 imperial - class eggs for sale.

The Pearl Egg $2 million usd is a two-tone gold egg that opens up revealing a rare grey pearl.

The other four eggs costs $2.96 million usd in total or $740,000 usd each. The "Four Seasons" collection of bejewelled eggs feature a presentation plate and ring within. It's like getting proposed to every time you open it.

Faberge's current collection of fine jewellery for sale captures the surprise within in these necklaces. But if you ask me, its actually the charm bracelets that I want to get. Prices are not cheap, starting at $2,000 for an enamel egg charm that can go up to $44,000 for a diamond encrusted egg charm.

What really interests me are the antique style jewellery that Faberge still makes, for example this 2012 emerald Romanov necklace based on an 1885 design. The necklace comes apart in 3 pieces, a choker, a statement necklace and a pendant that can be re-attached to the choker.

Chanel Minaudiere

The Chanel minaudiere is definitely on my wishlist. It's quirky, high fashion and a new design comes out every season. Starting from $4,000 it can go up all the way to $40,000.

I think I will get whatever is available in stores when I do see it. Usually its sold out really quickly. If anything it makes great decor for a walk-in wardrobe.

Another covetable fashion bag are the Hermes diamond minaudieres. The diamonds and gold mini kelly minaudieres are available in rose gold or yellow gold with 2 different designs to choose from. Rose gold coz it complements tanned skin well and yellow gold to complement traditional gold dress or Indian wedding jewellery.

Hermes has a modern urban alternative, the Chain d'Ancre diamond minaudiere. It's not in gold but regular blackened metal and thousands of natural diamonds.

A diamond minaudiere that has been out there for a while is the Ginza Tanaka platinum diamond minaudiere with detachable necklace and brooch.

Another diamond minaudiere out there is the Mouawad tri-coloured diamond purse called "1001 Nights" also known as the most expensive purse in the world. You can put an iphone inside so its a practical size.

In case anybody is interested, Mouawad has a diamond jewellery box for sale called "The Flower of Eternity", it can only fit one necklace set and a few more rings.

And the Mouawad Grande Ellipse Galaxy diamond pen.

Louis Vuitton Trunk

I was actually looking at dressing/vanity tables and this LV Malle Coiffeuse is exactly what I am looking for. It's a nice piece of furniture that can be locked up and stored in a corner when not in use so I don't need to pack up and store all my stuff in many little bags.

It will be even better if its available in LV x Supreme colours. Red and White are really CNY and also the national colours of Singapore. But I heard you have to be invited to purchase LV x Supreme items so hopefully someone from LV is reading this ;)

This is a Damier Graphite trunk for guys to store jewellery & watches that was sold on Christies a while back for GBP $47,500 or SGD $85,123. It would be perfect at a quarter of this size like the Boite Main Joaillerie below.

If you don't want furniture or more luggage than its the Petit Malle crossbody bag that I was also considering but its on the small-ish side, it can only fit a phone and coin purse.

Realistically, Goyard also makes luggage trunks and other leather goods with customized monogram. It's neat & preppy without the luxury tag.

Custom interiors are possible too, just like LV.

Does everyone remember the Jimmy Choo Shoe Trunk $65,000 usd and upwards from 2016. You get  to choose 20 pairs of shoes plus accessories to fit into this beautiful shagreen trunk.

Moet Chandon Trunk 2014

How do you fit an ice maker in it? Smaller trunk box versions sold in supermarkets/retailers.

Snack Attack - Salted Egg Stuff

Golden Duck Salted Egg Yolk potato crisps, this is the Chinese New Year version. I have to say Golden Duck has really got the salted egg yolk flavor right and this CNY version is very creamy with no egg-y taste at all. You can taste the spices including chilis.

KaizoCool Fish Skin Salted Egg that is exactly the same as ordering it from Zhi Char stall. The salted egg here is a sweet custard-y version with a hint of spice and no chilis at all. The fish skin is very crispy and salty, so this turns out to be sweet & salty, one of our fave flavor combinations.

Tao Kae Noi Salted Egg Yolk seaweed tempura crisps. Instead of thin seaweed its seaweed coated in a thick tempura crust and tastes exactly like prawn crackers, a bit strong on the spicy shrimp floss flavor and not soo much on the salted egg yolk. The portion size is small and 1 person can finish this for a snack.

I believe all the real preserved salted eggs have left the supermarket shelves a long time ago. I recently bought some and its actually fresh duck eggs! It should look like this pic above if its authentic, brightly coloured and crumbly.

Snack Attack - New Discoveries

4D Pineapple Gummies. That looks good, can stand on its own (3D), doesn't smell fruity at all but tastes like fresh natural pineapples. I would buy this again for food decor coz its soo pretty.

Ritz Cheese Wafer Rolls. Surprisingly creamy and sweet, the wafer is sweet and the cheese cream is also sweet, making this more of a dessert.

St Michel chocolate chip mini madeleines. Surprisingly good dense buttery sponge cakes with chocolate chips inside that make it better. Cannot stop eating this.
