Antique style

They're handmade in New Zealand with antique brass-filigree fleur-de-lis detail and a selection of stones including rose pink and ultra blue. $69.99 from PPS, 430 Mt Eden Rd Mt Eden, ph (09) 623 2666.
Fashion phone
The worlds of technology and fashion continue to collide in very stylish ways: like the new LG Prada 3.0 phone, which launched in London last week and is set to arrive in New Zealand early next year. The sleek, minimalist smartphone combines LG's leading technology with Prada's high-end chic - looking the part as well as being technically up to scratch. At $999, it features Prada Saffiano leather on the back, and will come with its own Prada bag. A very limited number will be available in New Zealand, so a wait list has been set up, for those who want to be one of the first to get their hands on this (those on it will be given preference when they go on sale in February/March next year). Get your name on the list now by calling 0508 547 322.
