Ivanka Trump: Fine Jewelry Collection



When people hear the name Ivanka Trump, these words may come to mind:
spoiled, luxurious, stunning, and perhaps intimidating. On the surface she
may appear spoiled, but if one looks deeper, she is far from it. She has
helped rebrand her fathers company into one of the few real estate firms to
ride through the recent downturn. In 2007, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry was
launched with a flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York and has a
placement in every fashion magazine. This year her collection will include
handbags and a shoe line. A recent article in Success described Ivanka's
work as impeccable - arriving to work two hours early, stays late, and start
the workweek on Sundays to get a head start when the office is quiet. Her
keen attention to detail sets her jewelry line apart from many others. Her
most recent line of jewelry include charms and pendants that are described
as, "bold and edgy with Asian-inspired motifs that capture the essence of
the 1930s design." I admire Ivanka's hard work and determination. I would be
fain to purchase a charm or two if they weren't above $900. You definitely
get what you pay for. She raises the bar above excellent and expects nothing
less - something we should all strive to do everyday. Her focus and detail
orientation definitely shines through her work. You may check Ivanka Trump

Vince Lombardi Trophy

You don't have to be a die hard sports fan to know the name Vince Lombardi. Many say he is beyond greatness; an inspiring leader; disciplinarian; over achiever; or perhaps, a miraculous individual. I may not be the biggest sports fan in the world, but I do know my stuff when it comes to Vince Lombardi. He made boys into men and brought a losing team into a Super Bowl champion. Lombardi coached with a purpose and could hold a team together in the lowest of circumstances. Coach Lombardi attained such a golden status: bringing the Packers from a 1-10 record into a winning team within two years of becoming head coach in 1959. Lombardi led his Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships, including two Super Bowls, which was later renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Louis Vuitton: Launches Damier Infini Line of Men’s Leather Goods


When it comes to the world of fashion, I do not discriminate; I'm hooked. Even men’s fashion. During Paris’ Men’s Fashion Week this past Thursday, Louis Vuitton unveiled “Damier Infini,” a new selection of men’s leather goods. This sleek and sophisticated selection is made from calfskin and embossed with the signature check print. The Damier Infini line comes with the Keepall, Porte-Document Voyage, a few wallets, and Porte-Document briefcase. Even though this is a men’s collection, I wouldn’t mind coping one for myself.
