Guests are invited to shop, sip, enjoy and experience the new collection amidst an exotic, transformed courtyard- all while supporting a worthy cause for women.

Valentines Gift Ideas for Men

For men seeking the ultimate Valentine’s gift look no further than the winner of the Best Luxury Brand Online 2009, AstleyClarke.com.

The fine designer jewellery site caters for men seeking unusual and interesting Valentine’s Day jewellery gifts for their wives and girlfriends. AstleyClarke.com’s collection of designer jewellery in precious and semi-precious gemstones is perfect for those keen to buy an investment piece of jewellery and crucially who want to show the recipient that their Valentine’s gift has been well considered and that thought and effort
has gone into their research.

A large proportion of high value jewellery purchases made on AstleyClarke.com come from men who are gifting their loved ones. These clients, dubbed by Astley Clarke as the Alpha Gifter are happy to spend up to £11k online at AstleyClarke.com on jewellery purchases and spend an average of £4.5k three times a year for Birthdays, Anniversaries and Valentine’s Day gifts.

This Valentine’s Day the Alpha Gifter will look to AstleyClarke.com for the design, craftsmanship and provenance of all of their jewels. These men have purposely moved away from homogenized and generic jewellery brands which to them show a lack of thought and effort by opting for the big-name but mediocre luxury jewellery brands. Partners of Alpha Gifter males tend to be professional women who are independent and shy away from conspicuous consumerism. This makes AstleyClarke.com, the perfect place to shop online for unique and unusual pieces of fine designer jewellery for Valentine’s Day.

Having recently won the Walpole award for Best Luxury Brand Online, Astley Clarke delivers an exceptional online shopping experience. Next day UK delivery is offered to all customers, alongside same day London delivery and International delivery, but it is their VIP Personal Shopping service goes that extra mile. Last Valentine’s day an Alpha Gifter who was on a business trip in London staying at Claridge’s hotel, forgot his wife’s Valentines gift, but saw a piece of jewellery in the Astley Clarke showcase there and called the Personal Shopping team who promptly met him at his hotel suite with a selection of jewels to choose from thus saving him the embarrassment of a Valentine’s day with no gift!

This Valentine’s Day, choose from their enticing array of romantic jewellery gift ideas, including engagement rings, anniversary stones and eternity rings, as well as Astley Clarke’s large selection of rose gold jewellery which would be a welcome alternative to more transient offerings of flowers, chocolates or lingerie. With collections from over 50 internationally renowned jewellery designers including Pippa Small, Carolina Bucci, Shaun Leane, Kiki McDonough and Monica Vinader the online jewellery shopper is spoilt for choice.

Astley Clarke’s bestselling Valentine jewellery gifts include the Vinnie Day Charming Heart Bracelets in sterling silver and gold vermeil, the Agrigento Love Bird Ring and Pendants as well as the stunning Baby Astley Ring in rose gold, moonstone and diamonds. If you are looking for rubies, the gemstone symbolising love, then pick from the pave ruby Mistral ring from the Takara Collection or Monica Vinader’s Candy rings in pink Chalcedony and pink ruby. And for a classic Valentine gift opt for diamonds in the large rings of Jupiter necklace in 14ct white and rose gold. (And if the Alpha Gifter is still stuck for ideas, rest assured that Astley Clarke has a team of friendly personal shoppers on hand offering everything from technical gemstone expertise to ingenious luxury jewellery gift ideas.)

Upscale jewelry sales robust this holiday season

As retailers across the board are still struggling to get consumers to spend beyond what they need, affluent consumers are giving a troubled sector — jewelry — a ray of hope.

Average jewelry spending by shoppers with minimum household incomes of $100,000 jumped 31%, to $4,813, in the third quarter from a year earlier, compared against declines of more than 30% each for clothing and for fashion accessories including shoes and handbags, according to Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing. The consultancy surveyed 1,000 luxury shoppers.

Michelle Obama Becomes the Popular Obama

Michelle Obama has polished her image in a paradoxical way for a political wife: by steering clear of politics. She’s a familiar presence on the national scene, and her poll numbers are robust, even among Republicans. “She has done this by framing herself as a wife, mother, daughter and sister, not trying to redefine the role of first lady, limiting interviews and staying militantly noncontroversial,” Lynn Sweet writes for Politics Daily.

Radii Footwear Decks the Halls with the Release of 2009 Holiday Sneaker Collection

High End Sneaker Brand Heats up the Season with the their Winter Collection Introducing the Ecto-1, Moonwalker and Timeless Line

(CHINO, CA) – December 17, 2009 (PressReleasePoint) – Radii Footwear, an upscale footwear line, announced the release of their Holiday collection today. The brand, whose product is worn by celebrities such as Jay-Z, Jay Sean, The Black Eyed Peas and Gwen Stefani to name a few, continues to push the envelope when it comes to innovative designs and style.
Launched in 2008, Radii Footwear has seen tremendous success in spite of a failing economy. In the first six months of production, the company grew dramatically with domestic and international sales exceeding over seven figures. Since then, Radii Footwear has expanded its distribution to over 10 countries and 300 stores in the United States. Radii Footwear’s CEO, Casey Arisohn, 26, believes his team’s tapped ear into the current marketplace is responsible for the brand’s ongoing growth.
“We’re conscious of the ever-changing trends in the sneaker industry,” states Arisohn. “I believe our untraditional take on traditional shoes is what keeps our customers coming back for more. We read their emails. We listen to their wants and needs and fill the void that’s missing in the footwear industry whether its specific price points, materials or designs. The holiday line is no different.”
“Radii is always my first choice when it comes to footwear for my male clients,” says former Pride Magazine fashion editor and celebrity stylist, Ruki Garuba, whose celebrity roster includes Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole and Jay Sean to name a few. “I am constantly on the hunt for unique pieces that will pop on stage, work well for appearances and are luxurious enough to work on the red carpet. Radii never fails to surprise me and my clients with something amazing that gets heads turning and that’s why I will always be loyal to the brand.”
The Holiday line arrives just in time for the holidays with new colors of the brand’s top selling 420 Tops and Straight Jackets while introducing the Moon Walker, Ecto-1 and Timeless Deluxe. Today, Radii Footwear bases a relatively modern in house staff at its Southern California headquarters and is currently working on the 2010 collection. Still emphasizing high-end fashion and couture to appeal to the line’s existing demographic, Radii’s expansion into casual product will open the brand to a new audience of entrepreneurs, CEOs and business savvy consumers wishing for an office appropriate sneaker. Exceptional fashion and eccentric taste makes Radii Footwear a leading brand to keep an “I” on for years to come.
