The weather is changing and fall is coming our way - or at least on the East coast. And even though the days are typically in the mid to upper 70's, the mornings and evenings are feeling pretty brisk. Being a former dog owner and the only adult who actually walked our dog, (thanks hubby for all your help!) I, and our little puppy, dreaded walking in the cold air. To ease his pain, and of course to make him look cuter, I bought him a red cable knit sweater. And of course he hated it and made every attempt to rip it off. However, for those owners whose dogs are overjoyed when it comes to new clothing, Dog In Paris has the cutest wool sweater to keep your little pup warm. The multi-colored wool sweater features a detachable hood and little doggy buttons for subtle flair. Price: $151.

If you're in need of a cane there's no reason it shouldn't be an expression of who you are, much like any other accessory such as a handbag or tailored jacket. My favorite cane has always been the amber one from the movie Jurassic Park but this cane, from Doyoner, just might take over that top spot and be my new favorite. Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of info on it, but not only is each cane beautiful they're also unique and the pommels are individually numbered for identification. Definitely an awesome statement of taste and style.

Milly Cabana Wear Inspired By Mexican Resort
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20071010071243im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.luxist.com/media/2007/09/millywear.jpg)
Fashion designer Michelle Smith of the Milly line takes resort wear to a whole new level with a line of cabana wear inspired by the Punta Mita vacation destination in Mexico (an area we have visited for an estate of the day). The Punta Mita cabana wear collection features Bougainvillea flower prints because the flower is found around Punta Mita. Smith also used a pattern right off of a pillow that was in the Four Seasons Villa she stayed in. The Milly Punta Mita collection will hit stores this November.
Audi Corporate Fashion Line Hits Offices Worldwide
At the Frankfurt Motor Show these past few days, the folks at the Audi stand have quite the uniform. The dress is tasteful black suits covering pressed white shirts or blouses -- but these are anything but your run-of-the-mill duds.
Audi has signed Michael Michalsky on to design its own Corporate Fashion Line for employees working auto shows, the Audi Forum and in dealerships. In the forefront of the fashion design world, Michalsky will also serve as an Audi brand ambassador.
The effort marks Audi's foray into the world of fashion, a role played by sibling brand Volkswagen several months ago when it launched high-end garments such as cashmere scarves to accompany the launch of its Jetta-based Eos convertible.
Check out Audi's full press release after the jump.

A $108,000 Golden Bra
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20071010071243im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.luxist.com/media/2007/09/97p6t5d39093f80dt20070901222612.jpg)
Generally speaking, spending more on a bra means getting more in the way of comfort, support, and all that other good stuff -- but not in this case. This is a bra made of solid gold and diamonds, and although I'm sure it gets good scores in the support department (ouch) I'm thinking comfort and versatility probably not so much. It's priced at $108,600, but only $58,600 of that is for gold and diamonds -- all that intricate design and diamond handiwork racked up a $50,000 labor bill. Was it really worth the effort?
It is pretty, but I think I'd rather have a bra made of diamonds than gold. Maybe whoever ended up with that gold swimsuit should buy it!

Luxury Lederhosen For the Well-Dressed Man
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20071010071243im_/http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.luxist.com/media/2007/08/lederhosensm.jpg)
Dressing in traditional Austrian attire requires that men show a little leg. Lederhosen, typically worn by Austrian and German men on special occasions, are basically fancy leather shorts. For really special occasions, you might want a personalized, luxury pair and Christian Wohlmuther can deliver. Working with a local jeweler in the
Styrian town of Liezen, he has created a line of lederhosen with silver, gold or platinum buttons adorned with precious gems such as garnets, rubies emeralds and diamonds.
Just who wears luxury lederhosen? Wohlmuther recently sold a diamond studded pair for $114,000 to an unnamed German man living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Something tells me that if he wears his new lederhosen in public, he won't be unnamed for long.
