Nominees for the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced on Thursday in Beverly Hills, California.  The Golden Globes will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and broadcast live on NBC – January 13, 2013.

The critically acclaimed Golden Globe Awards are a production of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and have been around since the mid-1940s.

The award show initially only honored excellence in movies, but now recognizes awards in 14 total categories for motion pictures and in 11 for television.

Since the Golden Globe ceremony occurs prior to the Academy Awards each year, the entertainment industry closely watches the Golden Globes as a predictor of which films to watch for come Oscar time.

The famous Golden Globe statue given to award winners is a globe that’s surrounded by a piece of film and mounted on a pedestal.

The nominations for next months’ award show is led by Steven Spielberg’s civil-war set drama “Lincoln” with a total of seven categories. “Django Unchained” and “Argo” were next with five nominations each.

Mercedes, Audi, and BMW continue to be the dominant global luxury car brands. Although Jaguar is still regarded as another luxury car maker, it holds a far less market share compared to the other big 3.

Jaguar is getting close to premiering the luxury car brand’s first two-seat Jaguar roadster since the E-type. This sportscar named the F-type follows the iconic and successful E-type which was the first brand launch since the forgettable X-type more than ten years ago.

The base engine of the F-type is a brand new, supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 that Jaguar developed from its traditional 5.0-liter V-8 engine. The new engine will offer about 340 hp.

A low deck lid plus sliver-thin LED taillights enhance the sensual beauty of this new Jag. Once you get your speed up 60 mph, a spoiler deploys.

Photo: Jaguar

We noticed one element that’s missing is the trademark rotary shifter. It’s been replaced by standard automatic shifter which should allow the driver to change gears manually.

The Jaguar F-Type dashboard will feature analog gauges plus toggle switches that remind the driver of classic sports cars from the past. This look is a switch from Jaguar’s more typical design of high-tech controls.

It’s expected that the new 2014 F-type will likely be priced starting at $70,000

Only time will tell how this new Jaguar F-Type will do against the big luxury names – Mercedes, BMW and Audi but Jaguar tradition and ingenuity will definitely put up a good fight.

Louis Vuitton

Carrying an expensive purse symbolizes glamour and sophistication, and if you have money burning a hole in your wallet, then what’s stopping you from spending hundreds even thousands on an expensive Louis Vuitton designer bag.

Founded in 1854, The Louis Vuitton Company has employed famous models and A-list celebrities in their marketing campaigns, and for the most part, catered to the upper-class culture.

These expensive and luxurious handbags are sought after for their rarity and extravagant designs.  Well known for their luxury fashion and high quality leather, these limited supply purses make women blush with excitement and scurry to check out these status bags.

Stephen Sprouse teamed up with Marc Jabocs in 2001 and designed a limited-edition line of LV bags with graffiti written over the monogram pattern.  The graffiti read Louis Vuitton.  Some pieces featured the graffiti without the monogram canvas background, but were only available on Louis Vuitton’s V.I.P. customer list.

In 2004, Louis Vuitton celebrated its 150th anniversary. Stores in New York City were opened and its first global store in Shanghai was unveiled.  The Champs-Élysées store in Paris designed by the American Architect Eric Carlson, alleged to be the largest and most profitable store in the world, reopened in 2005.

Louis Vuitton released their most high-priced handbag in early 2007, the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag.  The limited edition purse, made of samples of different Louis Vuitton bags, sold out almost immediately. Twenty-four numbered copies of their most expensive handbags were made, priced at $45,000.  A collection of denim patchwork bags selling for around $3,000-$5,000 followed soon after the LV Tribute Patchwork Bag.

Louis Vuitton has been named the world’s most valuable luxury brand for seven consecutive years (2006-2012).  Ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to ready-to-wear, shoes, watches, jewelry, accessories, sunglasses, and books, the LV monogram appears on most of its merchandise.

Selling their products through standalone boutiques, lease departments in high-end department stores and through the e-commerce section if its website, Louis Vuitton is known as one of the world’s leading international fashion houses.  In 2012, LV was valued at 25.9 billion USD..  Since the 19^th century, luggage is still made by hand and the manufacture of Louis Vuitton merchandise has not changed.

Ralph Lauren

A new luxury watch was recently launched by leading luxury watch maker Ralph Lauren. The timepiece is named Sporting World Time and this luxurious watch has a steel case that measures 45 mm in diameter and features Caliber RL939 movement made by Jaeger-LeCoultre with a 40-hour power reserve.

The Sporting World Time watch by Ralph Lauren will officially be launched at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) 2013. This iconic event is well respected in the fine watch sector.

This luxury watch from Ralph Lauren is inspired from travel and international exploration and the timepiece will display 24 time zones on the engraved disc of the watch.

Sporting World Time also features a deep blue dial, a deep cobalt blue alligator strap, in addition to a day/night indicator, a calendar, power-reserve display and much more!

Not only will the watch wearer know the local time but a second timezone will also be displayed from a selection of 24 major cities.

As of this publication, the price for the new Sporting World Time Luxury Watch by Ralph Lauren is not available.

Prague is a great city to visit, especially in December when the city’s famous Christmas Markets are in full swing with lights, carols and spirit!

One of Europe’s most gorgeous cities is Prague – and no trip to Europe is complete without a visit there.

Think cobble stone streets, great beer, gorgeous historical architecture and some of the best hotels in the Czech Republic, and you’re only just scratching the surface of this gorgeous city.

Winter (or more specifically, December) is an excellent time to visit Prague because of the wonderful Christmas Markets hel there. The entire city center of Prague glows with Christmas lights and decorations. The Christmas Markets run daily during December in the Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, Havelske Trziste and Namesti Republiky.

Grab a cup of hot wine and spend some time outdoors shopping for gifts at the wooden stalls set up in the squares, enjoy the carols and feel the Christmas spirit!

And, of course, there’s more to Prague than excellent Christmas shopping (although, that is a good reason to visit Prague in December). There are loads of beautiful sites that are perfect all year round.

The Prague Astronomical Clock, found on the southern wall of the Old Town City Hall is a must see (it’s so beautiful that it’s rumored that the government purposely gouged out the clockmaker’s eyes so he couldn’t construct a similar clock for any other country)!

Right out of a fairy tale (and home of the Czech Crown Jewels) is the Prague Castle, which is one of the biggest castles in the world. It overlooks the Vltava River and gives visitors an excellent view of the area.

And, you will definitely want to take a stroll across the Charles Bridge, and visit the Old Town Bridge Tower, which is a gothic tower constructed in the 1300’s. This is where you can get the best views of the old town and the river.

For travelers looking for the best in accommodation, there are a few great luxury hotels in Prague, and visitors to the city definitely have their choice in both modern and historical types of places to stay!

The Mandarin Oriental Prague is a romantic boutique hotel on the left bank of the Vltava River. Set within a carefully restored 14^th Century monastery, all of the rooms and suites here are individually designed, and guests get excellent views of some of Prague’s most scenic streets from here.

Kempinsky Hybernska Prague is another good choice. This hotel is located right in the heart of the city and has maintained the original façade of the building, while totally modernizing the interior. Lovers of “old meets new” will really enjoy this boutique hotel. Most rooms here feature a separate bedroom and living area which is especially convenient if you plan on entertaining any friends during your stay.

And, for lovers of modern design, no trip to Prague is complete without a stay at Hotel Yasmin, which is conveniently located just around the corner from the Wenceslas Square. This particular hotel is really close to the markets, sites and tourist attractions in the city, which makes it a good base for sightseers.
