"We had clients who wanted to contribute to the LuxeTrends," a page that reports on hot high-end products and services, said Boomsma.

Although the blog concentrates on home-related products, it does expand into a whole luxury lifestyle arena, with ideas for travel, automobiles and grand entertaining.

The young blog - it launched in late September - has already publicized some unusual finds, including a fountain pen costing $150,000, shoes made of mouse fur, chocolates adorned with edible gold leaf, and pimped golf carts to name a few.

But the core product on the blog is fabulous luxury properties. This month those included a Lake Tahoe residential compound of eight buildings on 210 acres that includes a par-three golf course, basketball court, cigar lounge, theater, 3,200-bottle wine cellar, and 16 garages. It sells for $100 million.

There's also a 13th century castle in France, a Frank Lloyd Wright home in Illinois and a palace in Dallas.

Readers can contribute suggestions to the site as well as comment on the selections of the good life already published.

It's a must read for those who want to keep up with the Trumps.
