Ok darlings, we must admit that this blog does have a love/hate relationship with Gucci.
On one hand we’re in arms at its apparent ‘downgrading’ by targeting a less aflluent clientele, yet on the other hand we are still /regularly shopping at its stores (a few more accessories were purchased at the weekend) and proclaiming the wonders of many of its fine good, much like this lovely little surprise from the House of Gucci.

Destinations – Bulgari Residences
Who said luxury brand extensions don't work? We did. Could we be wrong?
Here at Fucking Fabulous we are not one for luxury brand extensions. There’s something about diluting a luxury brand that makes us feel uncomfortable. Like a loose fitting outfit, its not right and shouldn’t be seen by the public.
But whilst being driven through Knightsbridge late afternoon, we noticed the outer-shell for the planned ‘Bulgari Residences‘.
Situated in the heart of Central London and next to some of the city’s most expensive real estate (where, of course, we have land) this gorgeous new complex has been designed by the famed Italian fashion house as part of its upcoming luxury hotel.
Consisting of six apartments including one penthouse, prices are of expected to be ‘in the tens of millions of dollars’. But surely you expect them to be? In this ‘age of austerity’, a phrase which makes me sick to the very sole of my stomach, isn’t having an overtly expensive residential property the new pre-requisite for a luxe life?
So why invest in a gorgeous bijou Central London apartment such as these?
Well imagine this. You’re in town, you’ve hit the designer stores and decide to head out to a bar or restaurant. Living a Fucking Fabulous life means you always need to be on it. So where best to freshen up, switch outfit, or at worst dash to the toilet arises, here at Fucking Fabulous we decree that you need a luxury destination to head to.
And thank god they are not only limited in numbers, the apartments are situated several floors up from the street. It puts you far enough away from the prying eyes of the wide eyed tourists that flock through Knightsbridge like migrating cattle in the summer months.

The Estelon XA Loudspeaker: A Sonic Work of Art
A Work Of Art?
Every home deserves its fair share of sculptures and pieces of art. Who doesn’t have a few Damien Hirsts lining their walls to keep the rooms warm? I suppose its also better than staring at blank spaces right?
Well these Estelon loudspeakers may seem to lean towards being more of a piece of art, and I am of course one for style over substance, but but don’t judge a book (like I would even read one) by its cover. These speakers have certainly been built to deliver.
According to The Robb Report, the speakers are “German-built Accuton-brand ceramic drivers with the finest crossover components, making for a loudspeaker that epitomizes the expression ‘form follows function'”. I don’t know what that means but it’s forcing me to believe it.
Would it be stupid to ask if these came with an iPod dock?
