It's been a while since I have done a "Cool Factor" post. Today I ran across this photo of The Parker Palm Springs. The iconic front door opens to one of the coolest places I have ever visited. So I went on a hunt for items that were just as cool. There's something here for everyone.
Two Person Transparent Canoe Kayak
Talk about a cool canoe! This clearly chic vessel comes with its' own view.
Let's face it, most techie tools are cool, but not exactly super stylish or beautiful. This is an exception. It comes with a built in magnetic lock for safekeeping. Love how this necklace features form and function in a fashion forward way.
"Shaken Not Stirred"
English actor, Roger Moore downs a martini, July 17th, 1968. In his day, he was quite the image of "cool," as he portrayed James Bond and The Saint. Jonathan Adler has hand selected this image and others from the celebrated Getty Images archives.
The Marble Collection
New in at CB2 is a collection of marble furnishings. Anything natural is always cool, and black and white will be forever right. I am a bit obsessed with the dining table.
Balmuda The Toaster
Of course, I am not just talking about your average toaster or toaster oven. It is a new favorite in Japan, and soon will be here, as well. This magical toaster is revolutionary and involves steam! This innovative appliance also functions as a countertop oven, so you can bake cookies and reheat frozen food. Sounds so interesting! Learn more at
Chanel Factory
N°5: the most legendary fragrance of the century. It's become an icon that fêtes 100 years of celebrity in 2021. For this special anniversary, Chanel has created the limited-edition Factory 5 Collection. The products are inspired by quotidian objects, as a reminder that wearing N°5 transforms everyday life. Loving the packaging!
Vintage Mod Flower Pins and Brooches
Which of these vintage floral pins is your favorite? I know that I owned some of these in the seventies. Fun to add to a handbag, a denim jacket, or a hat. These retro flowers are fabulous!
Color Changing Illumichair
Live your outdoor life in living color! Be the talk of the town with vibrant illumination. I think you might be surprised by the affordable price.
Very fun!
Retro cool. Vintage silver-screen glamour with glittery crystal details, bold frames & rose-tinted lenses. Gucci's sunglasses are always something special. This collection elevates any summer outfit with a certain cool factor.
Colors of the World Skin Tone Crayons
Because I don't have young children, I missed Crayola's introduction of "Colors Of The World" crayons last year. They are designed to mirror and represent over 40 global skin tones. Why hadn't this happened much before now? Very cool!
Leather Coolers
Boating in Biarritz, tailgaiting in Texas, or just taking the Metra to Ravinia, an icy cold beverage is always welcome. Why not elevate the experience? These luxe leather containers are cooler than cool.
