Cool Factor

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio }

Was there anyone cooler than Karl Lagerfeld? He was my inspiration today. As I do my daily shopping sprees down the aisles of the Internet, I run across some very cool things. Most of the time, they aren't what I am looking for that day, but I take note. Today's post features some of my favorite finds. The only thing that they have in common is their own individual "cool factor," and the fact that any one of these picks would make a great gift.

Here's looking at all of you teetotalers. High tea just became cooler. This eerie yet elegant serving piece has been handmade in Paris.

Pop Shoes
Kids shoes have had bells and whistles in the past, but none of them have featured luxury materials like leather before. If I was a child, I would be asking Santa for these. Each pair is equipped with a strip of LED lights on the soles, controlled by an on/off switch. Too cool for school.

Lulu Frost Jewelry
Designer Lisa Salazar has moves like Jagger when it comes to creating jewels with the cool factor. Her designs are inspired by the past, icons like Mick and Bianca, and the Plaza Hotel. Not to mention that she has created something for my own "Miss Shop This." You owe yourself a peek at her things. They are #wishlist worthy.

Sugar Paper LA Holiday

I am into gift wrapping big time. In my view, how you present a gift is as important as the gift itself. Sugar Paper's line for target is for the non traditionalist, like myself. Loving the boxes in cream and black. The paper goods are sophisticated, and very
 L.A. cool.

No. 2 Toilet Paper
Toilet Paper with a conscious. You gotta love that. And shall we talk about the chic wrapping? Most importantly, it is made from 100% sustainable bamboo. Which means it will be silky soft. A fun and appropriate gift for the wellness junkie or anyone on you your s#@t list.

Skyline Chess
Named one of the most beautiful chess sets in the world by Architectural digest. I agree. It's made of marble and bronze. London never looked so beautiful. This design is a game changer.

Old School Cool: This limited edition style is for girls who have it going on. What fun!

Champagne Tower Set

Did you ever wonder how this was done? As with anything, one has to have the right tools. These ten hand blown coupes are bubbly and cool. It's all about the shape. Just stack them up and pour. These will hold a magnum of champagne. This is how you earn the host with the most title!

John Derian Ring Mugs

Sip your tea in style! Astier de Villatte collaborated with sculptor Serena Carone on these fanciful cups which replace the typical handle with a glittering, bejeweled

 “ring.” I'm in love.
