A Better Self Tanner - For Free?!


The International Agency for Research on Cancer shows that the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30...
Experts also found that all types of ultraviolet radiation caused worrying mutations in mice, which is proof that the radiation is carcinogenic.

If you use an over-the-counter self-tanning cream, you often end up with a fake, orange, splotchy or streaky look. Joliese Tan claims to better than the alternatives because it won't stain, does not have an unpleasant smell, and looks natural instead of orange.

You can get a free sample here of Joliese Tan and pay only $1.95 in shipping and handling when you use the promo code 2010TAN. Let us know what you think, we're going to try it too!!

You’ve probably had one.....
Your yoga instructor has definitely had one.....
A coregasm!!
A what?
A coregasm is an orgasm that results from strong core exercise work. The question is: Do they really exist? Oh yes, my dear, they most certainly do. So, naturally, the next question is: How do I get me one of those? Let me walk you through the why and how, and chances are you’ll be rethinking doing crunches and get thee to a core-focused workout class by tomorrow morning.
FYI – You need to know women can have 10 different types of orgasms (more in a future column). The stimulation may be of a different body part, including your mind, yet the resulting orgasm’s sensation will be felt genitally. And the same regions of the brain are activated during orgasm, regardless of the area of stimulation.
For the core ingredients for a "Coregasm Experience", check out the recipe at Healthy Bitch Daily!

Who Rocked The Golden Globes...

Let's be honest, it's always been more about the fashion than the actual awards!! 
Here are some of our picks for who rocked the red carpet...

Jennifer Aniston in Valentino Couture

Heidi Klum in Roberto Cavalli
Olivia Wilde in Gucci

Overall, a very disappointing year, as far as we are concerned.  Perhaps it was the rain that dampened our spirits or maybe just the lack of WOW on the red carpet this year. On a side note, Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock, are you looking for new stylists yet? If so, I know a gal...

Can't Find The Right Pants?

The 9th Annual No-Pants Subway Ride

This year, 44 cities worldwide participated in this event, just for the fun of it!  A sight to see I'm sure....we just hope that there was some Lysol on hand!  I didn't see this today while I was in Boston - should have been in NYC :(  Maybe next year guys!!


Boston Vintage: Poor Little Rich Girl

Had a little time to kill before meetings started in Boston today.  I ventured on down to Newbury St., which for anyone who has not shopped Boston, it is a very famous street lined with designer shops (Chanel, Burberry, Armani - you get the idea!).  It's the "Rodeo Drive" of Boston and fabulous!! But, low and behold, what do I come across?  A rockin' vintage store:


Next time you are in Bean Town, check 'em out....accessories, shoes, new/used clothing, odds & ends, bags, and the list goes on....

We are going to have a lot to pack in to our trip for Fall Fashion Week in February! 


Zac Posen For Target: April 2010


We were just spoiled with Rodarte for Target and now Zac Posen!
Posen's designer line will be at most Target stores and at Target.com at a price we can all afford.  His whimsical style will be a big hit with his Target line, which is touted to have many fabulous dresses!  Just in time for warmer weather.  Target, we thank you!

Fashion Week Leaves Bryant Park


And makes a new home at Lincoln Center...
Yes, all of you fashion groupies, it's true.  Bryant Park has been home to Fashion Week for quite some time and has been very convenient, but with a new decade comes change.  Lincoln Center will have it's benefits as well:  it's closer to the C train, which makes a much more convenient journey down to Milk Studios.

First Look: Barneys Warehouse Sale


The infamous bi-annual sale begins the first day of Fall 2010 Fashion Week...

The warehouse sale occurs February 11-28th, on West. 18th Street, per the usual. This year the sale conveniently coincides with Fashion Week, even more of a reason to be in the city.  Start making your travel reservations now!!

Rock It Like Kim K

Rock It Like Kim Kardashian
We've been checking out Kim Kardashian for a minute now...
her boots that is!  We put together an example of how you can get her look.  Make the boots the statement piece and keep the rest simple and neat.  Just fabulous, if we do say so ourselves.  Go 'head girl!!

"Snooki", Stripped Down!


Who doesn't love some Jersey Shore...

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi known for her face paint and Jersey hair (only a "Bump It" user could love) recently went au natural for inTouch.  We certainly know this look won't last, coming from a girl who carries her makeup tool box with her everywhere and most likely an industrial size bottle of Aqua Net.  We do encourage her to perhaps smile in the future :) 



Meet The Snuggle Suit!!

Lady Gaga Meets Barbie

We were beside ourselves when we came across these Lady GaGa fashioned Barbies...
' First reported by Perez Hilton, these DIY doll creations were inspired by Lady Gaga's ever-changing fashion transformations and fashioned by an avid doll player, NOT a doll designer...


Veik, a 29-year-old from Beijing, doesn't consider himself a doll designer...
Veik created quite a buzz with his Lady Gaga dolls, which he creates at home with ordinary materials. Perez Hilton first blogged about it, but fans of Veik's Flickr page were in on his talent long before Perez. Veik, an avid DIY-er, posts pictures of his Barbies to inspire others and tell the world that "your hand make everything." Do we see a contract with Mattel soon? We sure hope so!!

Tiger Woods, Shirtless?!

A "RAW" look at Woods for the Vanity Fair cover...

SERIOUSLY, Vanity Fair?!

Tiger, we realize that you are a great golfer, but please put your shirt back on!! I think we all know how you feel about keeping your clothes on and this is certainly not helping your already battered image.


Just Another Day...

At the office!
Turn over a new leaf this year and put your most fashionable foot forward!!

Rihanna's New Look: 'Couture Military'

Rihanna goes "Hard".... Rock This look has a sneak peak of one of her looks from her video shoot for her newest single, "Hard". Rihanna was going for a 'couture military' look to embody the feel for her newest "girl on a mission" song. Now we want to know what you think - Is this true Rihanna style, or is she trying too hard to covet a fellow musician's style?! Ahem, Lady Gaga? Your thoughts...

A Beauty Tip That Rocks...

PALE LIPS

Soft shades of lipstick, such as beige and baby pink, balanced all the aggressive eye makeup. When topped with gloss, they made the models' mouths look "sexy and full," said McGrath. At Louis Vuitton, where the models' shiny beige lips were paired with neutral cheeks, "the overall effect was monochromatic," she said.

TRICK OF THE TRADE: Full-on nude lips may work on the runway, but for real life, choose a shade that's slightly pink or flecked with shimmer.

First Look: Lara Stone Replaces Madonna as Spring 2010 Face of Louis Vuitton


>> As rumored, Louis Vuitton chose to go with Lara Stone for Spring 2010, rather than bring Madonna back for her third consecutive season.  Antoine Arnault, Vuitton's communications director, explained: “After two seasons with such a huge star, Marc [Jacobs] decided to take a breather and work with a model — and not just any model. It’s the choice of a new supermodel.”

Steven Meisel, who took over the Vuitton campaign three seasons ago from longrunning Vuitton photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, captured Stone surrounded by doves (perhaps carrying on a thread of his Fall 2009 Lanvin campaignwith Kristen McMenamy in the midst of black cats).

Tis the season for...cocktail parties, lots of schmoozing, boozing and of course, a sea of black dresses. A classic little black dress is certainly acceptable, at a funeral, but for a cocktail party? Come on, it's almost 2010 and time to break out of your shell! Please, we beg of you to step away from the black dress! Words cannot begin to express how much we love this jacket by 3.1 Philip Lim this holiday season. This fab jacket with black dress shorts and some sexy shoes screams hotness! Now that you are looking fabulous, go ahead with your bad self and call it a night!

Yoga Rocks!



Jennifer Aniston's longtime yoga instructor just released her new workout video, which means for $30—and a little hard work—you too can get star-worthy workout results right at home. The two-part DVD includes an introduction by Aniston and two 30-minute yoga workouts with her instructor, Mandy Ingber. "It's a hybrid of yoga poses, and toning exercises, for sculpting sleek muscles, losing weight and unwinding your mind," says Ingber, who also helps Jenny McCarthy and Chelsea Handler stay in top form. "This workout will change your body and your mind," says Aniston. “This is one of the most fun, challenging workouts I’ve ever had.”

Fashion Bloggers Hit The Front Row


Dolce&Gabbana
The bloggers who write Bryanboy.com, JakandJil..com, GaranceDore.fr and The Sartorialist had coveted front-row seats in Milan last week at the D&G show and at the more upscale Dolce & Gabbana show. Laptops were provided.


At the D&G runway show in Milan last week, the chief executives of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman were relegated to second-row and third-row seats. In front of them, sitting primly in the first row, was Federico Marchetti, chief executive of online retailer Yoox.com .

The moment—coming as the super-sexy women's styles for next spring pranced down Milan's runways—marked a shake-up in an ultra-hierarchical world. The privileged treatment of a digital-media figure showed that luxury fashion is ready to introduce styles to the public in new ways—new, at least, to this old-fashioned industry.

Front rows are reserved for those most important to a brand's success—celebrities, important retailers and magazine editors. In past years, Mr. Marchetti sometimes borrowed tickets to shows from other guests. But in the past year, Yoox has expanded its business of creating online stores for luxury brands such as D&G, the casual ready-to-wear line from Dolce & Gabbana, and for Jil Sander—whose site launched just today. And this season, Mr. Marchetti has actually been invited to too many shows. "I don't have time anymore," he said at a party thrown by Versace in Milan.

The warm welcome extends to bloggers. While the New York shows have been inviting some bloggers for a few seasons now, many of Europe's luxury houses have been slower to allow bloggers into the shows. But two days after the D&G event, at a show for the high-end Dolce & Gabbana line, four surprised bloggers found themselves seated in coveted spots near the queen of fashion, Vogue editor Anna Wintour. One of them, Tommy Ton of JakandJil.com, could hardly believe he'd made it into one of Milan's hottest shows. "A season ago I had to wait patiently outside for arrivals and exits, and now I'm sitting here," he blogged from his seat, on a laptop provided by Dolce & Gabbana.
