This week’s Hot or Not: Some risqué fashion ads that somehow made their way into the media…

Joanna Krupa poses nude with a crucifex for PETA ad.
D&G’s new commercial is either about a menage-en-trois or watches.

Two model’s strip down (literally) while people watch in XOXO’s store display in NYC…
My verdict: NOT
Maybe I’m becoming a prude, but this is too much sexiness going on in just one week. Are these companies in these desperate times? There is a way to be sexy, while being classy.
What do you think?

Inspired by Allure Magazine.
1. A Trapper Hat

3. A Boyfriend Sweater

4. The right cleanser

“In the winter, when there isn’t as much moisture in the air, absolutely everyone needs a nonfoaming cleanser,” says Leslie Baumann, professor of dermatology at the University of Miami.
6. Serious Moisturizer
“Skin is a lot like wet cement,” says Francesca Fusco, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, “If you don’t cover it up properly, the top part dries out faster than the layers beneath it. And when things don’t dry at an even rate, fissures form.”
7. An Anorak

8. Lug -Sole Boots

9. A Low Ponytail

10. A Chunky Scarf

Their slogan is “Couture with a conscience.” Tra Tutti is a virtual consignment shop that carries high-end vintage designers. Their cosignors receive 40% off their sale items, which is typical among consignment shops. But what makes Tra Tutti different is that they only keep 40% of the profit and donate the remaining 20% to charities. These charities include AIDS Action, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay, Dress for Success Boston, The Home Life for Little Wanderers, and MSPCA-Angell and Rosie’s Place.
This holiday season, you can now shop and give. Buy a gift for someone or shop for yourself. You’ll be feeling good after shopping with Tra Tutti.
And now through December 16th, they will be selling $50 gift certificates for only $40! Check them out now at http://www.tratutti.com/index.php/shop-by-item/gift-certificates.html.

Just like at the MTV Music Awards, the AMA’s were filled of shock and awe…And I’m not talking about with the performances and winners. I mean with the fashions! I didn’t know this show existed until now.

Shakira looks cute as always with a sunny mini dress and high heels.

Rihanna, on the other hand, scared me with her new look. However, I do like the concept of the dress.

Although, I don’t like her performance get-up…

Speaking of performances, J.Lo’s was memorable because of her fall. Her 5 in. Christian Louboutin shoes were to blame. (Are you listening Christian?) But I’m not liking her new look either.

Alicia Keys looked stunning as always…



Lady Gaga is Rihanna’s (performance) twin! Her performance was full of glass breaking, piano playing, and God knows what.


Even though American Idol alum, Adam Lambert, looked chic and classy on the red carpet, his performance was labeled as “raunchy”. I love how he looks in a suit though.

Even though she had to take a backseat to Ms. Taylor Swift’s wins, Miley Cyrus looked super cute in her mini.
