Would you pay $50,000 for a pair of sneakers, though? What if they were encrusted with diamonds? Laced Up, a boutique based in Atlanta, Georgia, has just launched a new customization service called Solitaire Kicks. Their first offering, a $50,000 pair of Nike Air Force One “So Cals,” may just be the most expensive sneakers in the world.<br /><br />Solitaire Kicks offers customers the chance to deck out their sneakers with yellow, blue or white diamonds as well as gold and platinum. Laced Up offers the service in partnership with Prriya & Chintans Couture and Jewelry, with whom customers will consult when customizing their expensive sneakers.<br /><br />The So Cals themselves bear a Nike logo cast in gold and adorned with 11-carat diamonds. The diamonds’ casings are affixed to the shoes by gold stitching. The most expensive sneakers in the world were presented to rapper Big Boi at the Solitaire Kicks launch party in late November.<b> </b><br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-cleats.html" target="_blank">Most Expensive Cleats</a><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-10-most-expensive-fashion-brands.html" target="_blank">Top 10 Most Expensive Fashion Brands</a><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2010/12/most-expensive-purses.html" target="_blank">Most Expensive Purses</a><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-luxury-diaper-bag.html" target="_blank">Most Expensive Luxury Diaper Bag</a><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2010/12/worlds-most-expensive-model-car.html" target="_blank">World's Most Expensive Model Car</a><br /><a class="gs-title" href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2010/12/most-expensive-car-in-world.html" target="_blank">Most Expensive Car in the World</a> <br /><br /><b>Save and share Most Expensive Sneakers</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends, click the button below to send them an email or save this to your favorite social network.</div>

Today, most dress shirts have buttons, but the most formal of men’s shirts still require a pair of cufflinks.<br /><br />A pair of luxury cufflinks created by Atelier Yozu are some of the most expensive cufflinks in the world. Yozu specializes in custom cufflinks made from a variety of luxury materials. This particular pair incorporates 18k yellow gold, 60 round diamonds (.01 carats each) and a short bar of mammoth ivory. Along with several other pairs of cufflinks created by Yozu, the Yozu Mammoth Ivory & Two Rows Diamonds Cufflinks are offered by Pianki, a dealer in “World Class Luxury Gifts.” They’re priced at $9,195.<br /><br />Of course, a custom pair of cufflinks by Yozu will no doubt be more expensive. Yozu’s custom cufflinks can be made with 18k white or yellow gold or platinum and can be engraved with guilloche enameling.<br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/05/worlds-most-expensive-pearl.html">World’s Most Expensive Pearl</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/04/hublot-2-million-big-bang-watch.html">Hublot €2 million Big Bang watch</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/03/luxury-watchmakers-follow-money-to-asia.html">Luxury watchmakers follow the money to Asia</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2010/11/2-most-expensive-watches-in-world.html">2 Most Expensive Watches in the World</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-digital-camera.html">Most Expensive Digital Camera</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-bluetooth-headset.html">Most Expensive Bluetooth Headset</a><br /><br /><b>Save and share Luxury Cufflinks</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends, click the button below to send them an email or save this to your favorite social network.</div>

That’s probably less true today than when you could tell a man’s occupation by the hat he wore, but if it’s true of anything then it’s true of the world’s most expensive shirt.<br /><br />Swedish shirt-making company Eton, celebrating their 80th birthday, created this shirt out of the finest Egyptian cotton. Of course, it couldn’t be the most expensive shirt in the world without a few diamonds. Both the studs and the cufflinks are encrusted with diamonds—white diamonds on the cufflinks and colored diamonds on the studs.<br /><br />As if that isn’t enough, the dress shirt will be touring the world before it’s sold at auction next year. The luxurious shirt will make stops in Milan, LA, Stockholm and a few other places with Eton stores.<br /><br />The most expensive shirt is valued at £23,000 (over $45,000). Proceeds from its sale will go to charity. <br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/04/most-expensive-cosmetics.html">Most Expensive Cosmetics</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-single-most-expensive-suit.html">World’s Single Most Expensive Suit</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-expensive-perfumes-2011.html">World's Most Expensive Perfumes 2011</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-expensive-conditioner.html">World’s Most Expensive Conditioner</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-diamond-necklaces.html">Most Expensive Diamond Necklaces</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-10-most-expensive-fashion-brands.html">Top 10 Most Expensive Fashion Brands</a><br /><br /><b>Save and share Most Expensive Dress Shirt</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends, click the button below to send them an email or save this to your favorite social network.</div>

Bid on one of the most expensive sweaters and you may be able to do just that.<br /><br />Erinn Cosby, one of Bill Cosby’s four daughters, is auctioning off three of her famous father’s notorious sweaters “just in time for Father’s Day.” Bidding starts on June 2nd and proceeds from the sale of the three sweaters will go to the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby foundation.<br /><br />When playing Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show (1984-1992), Bill Cosby most often wore shirts with loud, geometric, swirling and/or patchwork patterns. This habit gave rise to the term “Cosby sweater,” used to describe similar sweaters.<br /><br />Bill and Camille Cosby set up Hello Friend after the murder of their son, Ennis Cosby, while he was studying for his master’s degree in education at Columbia University.

A scarf can keep you warm on a cold day or it can be used to wipe the sweat from your face on a hot day. They can be used to keep dust and insects out of your mouth while you’re riding a horse. They may be used to communicate the religion you practice, the university you attend or the sports team you support. Of course, they are also very fashionable.<br />In 1837, saddlemaker Thierry Hermès founded his company. One hundred years later, Hermès produced their first scarves. Today, Hermès scarves are among the most expensive scarves in the world.<br />Hermès scarves have been considered traditional heirlooms in France. Their scarves were made from raw Chinese silk spun into a tough fabric and individually screen-printed with designs that sometimes took years to compose. The company still focuses on producing quality, handcrafted goods to this day.<br />The cheapest of these luxury scarves commands a price of $260. A Hermès dip-dyed giant silk scarf, on the other hand, is priced at $720.<br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/04/10000-dress-made-from-1200-bic-pens.html">The £10,000 dress made from 1,200 BIC pens</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/04/most-expensive-prom-dress-ever.html">The Most Expensive Prom Dress Ever</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-most-expensive-jeans.html">World’s Most Expensive Jeans</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-most-expensive-womens-shorts.html">World’s Most Expensive Women’s Shorts</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-most-expensive-towels.html">World’s Most Expensive Towels</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-expensive-coat-hangers.html">World’s Most Expensive Coat Hangers</a> <br /><br /><b>Save and share Luxury Scarves</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends, click the button below to send them an email or save this to your favorite social network.</div>

The average price of the top ten products on our list is $402 per ounce. That is over 7,500% more than the price of anti-aging facial products sold at most drug and grocery stores, like Olay Age-Defying Daily Renewal Cream, which typically sells for around $5 per ounce. (More expensive than caviar, but less than gold or cocaine.)<br /><br />From clothes to cosmetic surgery, given the whopping amounts of money that people are willing to spend fighting the effects of aging, it should come as no surprise that haute couture skincare isn't cheap. What should be surprising, however, is the fact that the claims many of these products make about reducing wrinkles and eliminating blotches are supported by very few unbiased studies.<br /><br />In the cosmetic industry, the term "clinically proven" is often more marketing than science. Typically, the phrase means that at least one component of the cosmetic product has been shown, in one study or another, to have had some biological action, such as helping wounds heal faster by stimulating cell division. That the product has been demonstrated by a well-controlled, independent clinical study to have significant effects in skin, however, is not necessarily true.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="mainarttitle"><span class="mainarttitle">Yet, as the baby boomer generation's youth fades, the revenue generated by anti-aging treatments is on the rise. According to the marketing information company NPD Group, sales of prestige skincare products in U.S. department stores alone reached $2.1 billion in 2004, up 17% from 2000.<br /><br />So what makes these products so expensive? For one thing, many of them are made from expensive ingredients such as crushed pearls, caviar and exotic antioxidants extracted from rare plants like the Chilean evergreen tree. Other popular components are anti-oxidants like grape seed extract, alpha lipoic acid, chamomile oils and green tea--protectants that are said to reduce skin damage from free radicals. Among the most important ingredients are customized cell messenger proteins such as peptides and epidermal growth factor that stimulate cell growth.<br /><br />The use of many of these skincare products can be traced back to a pioneering study that appeared in July 1989 in the New England Journal Of Medicine. This study showed that topical application of an epidermal growth factor accelerates the rate of healing of second-degree burns and partial-thickness skin wounds. Based on his findings, the study's first-author Dr. Gregory Brown, who is also a plastic surgeon, founded, RéVive, a skincare company in Louisville, Ky. The company's most expensive product, the Intensité Volumizing Serum, goes for $600 per ounce and uses a bioengineered molecule called keratinocyte growth factor that he says turns over dying skin cells eight times faster than normal skin can.<br /><br />Brown justifies the expense by saying that the reason his products cost so much is because they use growth factors obtained from recombinant-DNA technology, which creates exact--albeit synthetic--replicas of the respective molecules in the human bodies. Adding to his expenditure are years of research and "enormous" production costs. "As you know," he says, "for any pharmaceutical molecule from bench to commercial production, on average, is a minimum of $100 million.<br /><br />"We age by slow cell renewal and also by exposure to toxins, so I think an antioxidant of any kind can help the skin. But it has to be bioengineered or purified in a scientific way so you know exactly what the molecule is," says Dr. Brown. "Many of these products, they'll take drippings from a bamboo sprout or whatever--I just think that's a little voodoo," he adds.<br /><br />"Toxic skin has many signs, including congested pores, pigmentation irregularities, wrinkles, accumulated surface grime and a sallow, gray and ashy withered skin," explains Dr. Howard Murad, dermatologist, founder and chief executive of Los Angeles-based Murad Inc. Murad's CitySkin Detox Treatment, which sells for $125 per ounce, contains glycolic acid and a host of antioxidants--all of which are said to neutralize the environmental toxins and pollutants that bombard the skin daily and encourage collagen accumulation and a proliferation of new cells.<br /><br />Celebrities like Madonna, Liv Tyler and Susan Sarandon swear by Tracie Martyn's products--and her $460 Resculpting Facial. Offered only in Martyn's inconspicuous Fifth Avenue atelier in New York City, this facial involves the use of a special device that delivers electrical currents. The currents cause temporary muscle shortening, and have the effect of lifting and tightening the skin. Compared with many of the products on our list, Martyn's Firming Serum is a relative bargain at $175 per ounce. The plant-based serum has green papaya extract, Chilean evergreen, extracts of red wine and several epidermal growth factors.<br /><br />According to Dr. Nicholas Perricone, inflammation at the cellular level is the single most powerful cause of the signs of aging. His pricey skincare line, N.V. Perricone M.D., based in Meriden, Conn., uses peptides--compounds consisting of two or more amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) chained together by what is called a peptide bond--and neuropeptides, which are peptides released by brain cells as intercellular messengers.<br /><br />"While manipulating the neuropeptides, neurotransmitters and hormones that are in the brain to help create younger, more beautiful skin and slow the aging process might seem more at home in a Michael Crichton or Robin Cook novel," Dr. Perricone says. "Believe me when I tell you that it is not only possible, but is in fact the new reality."<br /><br />Serums or moisturizers are typically the most expensive products within a skincare line, given their high concentration of costly ingredients. To maximize the age-defying effect that many of the products on our list are purported to have, experts recommend that you use a good facial cleanser, exfoliating scrub and mask, such as the Soy Face Cleanser, Honey Face Scrub and Umbrian Clay Mask from Boston-based beauty company Fresh, to help get rid of dead skin cells and keep pores clean. Their products, many of which sell for between $30 and $60, are cheap compared with most of the products on our list.<br /><br />In the battle against sagging and wrinkling, the right creams and lotions are good but alone they aren't enough. Along with avoiding exposure to the sun, controlling diet and stress are crucial in decelerating the aging process. Foods that create a rapid rise in blood sugar, such as breads, pastries and chips, result in a burst of inflammatory chemicals that spread throughout our bodies. Stress triggers the release of the hormone cortisol, which elevates our blood sugar, and triggers the release of the same collagen-busting inflammatory chemicals that are generated by a diet high in refined carbohydrates. "This inflammation," Dr. Perricone says, "produces enzymes that break down collagen, resulting in wrinkles."</span></span><br /><br /><span class="mainarttitle"><span class="mainarttitle">The big question is "Do these products work?" Many of the products on our list have been shown in clinical studies to do everything from minimizing lines and improving skin tone to increasing skin thickness. Instruments like cutometers, designed to measure the vertical deformation of the surface of the skin as it is pulled away by vacuum suction, and corneometers, which measure changes in the hydration of the skin, are among the tools used in these studies. However, if these studies were repeated using, say, olive oil, or even a generic lotion of any kind, it is possible that the results would be the same.<br /><br />The point is, of course, that no matter how much money one spends, the aging process cannot be stopped. But, as many doctors and skincare companies promise, if your bank account is large enough, it may be delayed for a little while.  </span></span><span class="mainarttitle"><span class="mainarttitle"> </span></span><br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-single-most-expensive-suit.html">World’s Single Most Expensive Suit</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-expensive-perfumes-2011.html">World's Most Expensive Perfumes 2011</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-expensive-conditioner.html">World’s Most Expensive Conditioner</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/most-expensive-diamond-necklaces.html">Most Expensive Diamond Necklaces</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-10-most-expensive-fashion-brands.html">Top 10 Most Expensive Fashion Brands</a><br /><a href="http://themostexpensive.blogspot.com/2010/11/worlds-most-expensive-manicure.html">World’s Most Expensive Manicure</a><b> </b><span class="mainarttitle"><span class="mainarttitle"> </span></span><span class="mainarttitle"><span class="mainarttitle"> </span></span><br /><br /><b>Save and share Most Expensive Cosmetics</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends, click the button below to send them an email or save this to your favorite social network.</div>
