Nigerian-born artist, aesthete and aRude magazine publisher Iké Udé (above) is one of the last of the old-school dandies – old school as in Oscar Wilde and Baudelaire. His new book, Style File: The World’s Most Elegantly Dressed, is a compendium of extraordinarily-attired people, but it shouldn’t be confused with just another Best Dressed list. To make Udé’s grade you have to have a measure of eccentricity, verve and idiosyncrasy in your ensembles that can’t merely be purchased at the nearest shop, no matter how chic. Some of the people in the book are well known, others not so much, but they all have incredible in style in common. See the gallery for pix of some standouts; we’ve focused on the men since they get less exposure than their female counterparts in this regard – plus one major babe.

If you love to make your own wine, you have the WinePod, and if you love to make your own beer, you better consider the NanoBrewMaster. The all-in-one brewing device brews, ferments and chills and then serves the fresh ice-cold beer on tap. Compact and mobile, the NanoBrewMaster comes with an on-board computer that regulates and monitors the introduction of hops, yeast, water and extract. The machine has the ability to brew 15 gallons or two 7.5 gallon batches at once. The NanoBrewMaster is the same height as a kitchen counter and measures roughly two feet wide by eight feet long. Above everything, it is self-cleaning. Pricing for the NanoBrewMaster will depend on the customer’s custom configuration.

Sitting for long hours with those run-of-the-mill ergonomic keyboards and wrist pads is really hard, we know that. Extraordinary workstations fancy us and we find it our pleasure to bring the best of them to your notice. The Mac-powered Organic Workstation from the house of Miles of Design 07 is yet another design aimed at the net addicts. Designed by Stevie Miles Brewu, the Organic Workstation is equipped with an adjustable seat, screen, keyboard and foot rest. The highly ergonomic workstation says bye-bye to all the clutter with its neat form factor and allows for an ergonomic and interactive environment. Anyway, this workstation looks somehow reminds me of the mighty Emperor Workstation we’ve seen earlier. The Organic Workstation is a concept only, but it looks good enough to go into production. For now, you can take a look at our list of Top 10 luxury workstations.

Imagine finding a Bentley parked in your driveway one day. That’s what happened to a woman in Modesto, California. Rosa Warren was shocked to see the new luxury car outside her house. She wondered if it was a gift but there was no bow, no card and no one seemed to know anything about it. Warren called the police and found out that the car had been stolen from the owner’s garage a few miles away. No one is sure why the thief parked it in her driveway. Hopefully she at least gets a finder’s fee for her trouble.

It was rumored recently that Miley Cyrus’s first car was going to be a Mercedes convertible. But it turns out the moneymaking songstress who recently celebrated her 16th birthday, will be driving mom’s old car, just like many other teens. Of course in this case mom’s cast-off is a Porsche Cayenne. So far Miley only has her learner’s permit. Miley celebrated her 16th birthday at the American Music Awards and instead of getting a new car for her birthday, her father Billy Ray Cyrus built her a recording studio at the house.
