Nordstrom Unveils Curated Shopping Platform, Vying for 'Spotify of Fashion' Title. (Business)
Heard Nordstrom's going digital darling? Their website just got a major upgrade, with a whole new marketplace to score the latest from under-the-radar brands. Last year, digital accounted for 36 percent, or about $5 billion, of Nordstrom’s total sales of $14.22 billion. Think Adore Me, Alala, Ana Luisa, Cynthia Rowley, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, Deux Par Deux, Dia & Co., DXL, La DoubleJ, Natori and Onia, all alongside your old faves. But don't worry, Nordstrom isn't going mass market. They're keeping it curated, just like your closet. This is a power move for the long game, a way for the Nordstrom brothers to keep their crown jewels sparkling, away from the prying eyes of Wall Street.

Canary has heard, Diptyque is getting fancy! Forget your average fragrance counter – they're unveiling sprawling new stores designed to be full-on experiences. Picture Rue du Phot in Paris and New Bond Street in London, but with over 4,000 square feet of pure luxury. Think art installations, workshops (where you can learn about scents or even gift wrapping!), and personalized service galore. It's all about building a deeper connection with their customers, and let's face it, who wouldn't want to get lost in a world of Diptyque? And speaking of worlds, there's even a special "heritage gallery" showcasing the brand's history, from their very first creations to original founder sketches. No wonder sales are booming – they were up 19% last year! Looks like Diptyque is here to stay, and getting more decadent by the day.

Forget the bumpy budget airlines! Kalmar Beyond Adventure is the new jet set safari for the adrenaline junkie. Imagine this: 19 days tearing across Africa in a souped-up Porsche, conquering deserts by day and collapsing into luxury hotels by night. We're talking five countries – Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Angola – all under your tires. Prepare to swap stilettos for hiking boots as you navigate mountains, savannas, and grasslands. Kalmar won't throw you in at the deep end. The best part? You get to pick your chariot. Fancy a classic 911 or a sleek Cayenne?

They are priced at $35, $72 and $100 for 10-, 50- and 100-ml, respectively. Think "aura-bella," with three divine scents that are kind to your skin, unlike last week's soirée. Salted Muse has notes of sea salt, pink pepper, an olive tree accord, lavender, woods of crisp amber and many more. The formulas are dermatologist-tested, Leaping Bunny and PETA vegan-certified, and adheres to European Union cosmetics regulations, which count a no-list of more than 1,300 ingredients.

The Meisterstück, with its sleek black design and gold nib, is a must-have for any discerning writer – just ask all the famous authors who've used one!

Did You Know? Cartier’s Tutti Frutti Collection is inspired by India.
Inspired by the vibrant colors and exotic motifs of Indian jewelry, the Tutti Frutti collection represents a fusion of East and West, reflecting Cartier's innovative spirit and fascination with exotic cultures.
The origins of the Tutti Frutti style can be traced back to Jacques Cartier's visit to India in the early 20th century. During his travels, Jacques Cartier was captivated by the intricate craftsmanship and colorful gemstones adorning Indian jewelry, particularly those worn by Maharajas and members of the royal courts.
Upon returning to Paris, Jacques Cartier and his designers began experimenting with designs that incorporated the bold colors and playful motifs of Indian jewelry into Cartier's signature style. The result was the Tutti Frutti collection, which made its debut in the 1920s.
The Tutti Frutti jewels were characterized by their use of carved gemstones, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds, arranged in asymmetrical and dynamic compositions. These pieces often featured floral, foliate, and abstract motifs inspired by nature, as well as intricate geometric patterns reminiscent of Indian architectural ornamentation.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Tutti Frutti collection was its versatility. Cartier designed the pieces to be worn in multiple ways, allowing the wearer to mix and match different components to create unique looks. Necklaces could be transformed into bracelets, brooches into dress clips, offering endless possibilities for personal expression.
The Tutti Frutti collection quickly gained popularity among Cartier's elite clientele, including royalty, socialites, and celebrities, who were drawn to its exotic allure and artistic innovation. The pieces became synonymous with luxury and sophistication, embodying the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the era's fascination with all things exotic and glamorous.
Today, Cartier's Tutti Frutti jewels remain highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of fine jewelry.
They serve as timeless reminders of Cartier's enduring legacy of creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange, bridging the gap between East and West in the world of haute joaillerie.
Canary’s reaction to Cartier’s collection is relatable to all! Isn’t it?
Surely, she is stunned, but she’ll be make it on time Next Friday!
Until then,
Stay Luxe you all!
