Motorcycle-Inspired Gothrod Chopper Chair by Gene Gordon Design

If ever there were a time to use the term "biker-chic," it would be in reference to Gene Gordon's limited-edition Gothrod Chopper Chair ($18,000). With hand-tooled leather saddles, flexible suspension-style legs, and a skull-topped shifter that folds out the foot rests, the luxe, bespoke seat, inspired by "the designer’s love for hot rods and hogs," is a motorcycle enthusiast's dream.

Love It or Hate It? Fin Armchair

The Fin Armchair ($7,000) by Tshuka is upholstered and tufted in velvet and adorned with aqua and green feathers on a walnut frame. Meticulously made by hand, it's available in a range of colors. While I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into an extravagant piece like this, I think it's too eccentric and frou-frou for my home. What do you think? Love It or Hate It?

Nice and New: Elephant Porcelain Candle

I've told you before about my guilty pleasure of spending big bucks on candles, and most of you said you wouldn't spend more than $25 on one. But would your opinion change if said candle came in an elegant porcelain jar you could use over and over again?

If Money Weren't an Issue . . .

Yes — there's nothing like a bunch of dollar bills to put me to sleep at night. Maybe — but just as a joke, in a guest room perhaps. An expensive joke. No way — that's absurd and totally tacky!

Celebrity Style: Selita Ebanks

Selita Ebanks doesn't mind posing for the camera. Sporting her cropped do, the model looked fresh and fantastic in NYC during a visit to The Tyra Banks Show to celebrate the first all-black model issue of Vogue Italia.
