bREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S

What: Vintage perfume bottle with metal puffer, International Antiques, 7 Vaswant House, Colaba, Rs 1,500; Pylones @ Taabir, Grand Galleria, Phoenix Mills, Rs 200 onwards.

Why: This glamorous bottle is perfect for experimenting with your favorite fragrances to create a signature perfume. Go soon, though, as we spied only a couple of pieces at the dusty little antique store. Also, for more contemporary but equally whimsical accessories, check out the new Pylones collection.

When: You want to put your two (s)cents in.

***

What: Rouge Volupté Lipstick by YSL, available at Pantaloons, Phoenix Mills; Lifestyle, Oberoi Mall; and Shoppers Stop at Bandra, Juhu and Inorbit Mall, Rs. 1,730.

Why: Because not only does this just-launched lipstick come in a range of delicious colours (we especially love the Orange Shiver and Divine Mahogany), it’s also sinfully creamy and long-lasting.

When: You want to shoot from the lip.

pLAY

What: Sampan, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach, Balraj Sahani Marg, Juhu Beach, Juhu, call 66934444.

Why: The old favourite is back, with delicious food on the plates and Chinese clichés on the wall. Call it fin yang - you’ll have to slurp your Pan Fried Noodles with a live gold fish staring at you from the table centerpiece. Read the full bpb review here.

When: You’re looking for wanton indulgence.

***

What: IPRT Poker Tournaments, Floating Casino, Goa, visit www.iprt.in, buy in starts at Rs 5,000.

Why: Because chances are that this is one of the few legal poker game you’ll attend. Plus, membership to the India Amateur Poker League is free, and with the Diwali season coming up, you need all the practice you can get.

When: Ante up from Sept 23 – 26.

bABE

What: Alanis Morissette home collection at Mobius Strip, Pali Hill, Bandra (W), Rs 250 onwards.

Why: If you have One Hand in your Pocket, get out some cash for these super cool coasters, shot glasses, clocks and lamp shades with Alanis face prints.
