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?
Style Icon: Edward Cullen and Stefan Salvatore
Posted by: cda5 on: December 3, 2009
Both Edward Cullen and Stefan Salvatore have been stealing a lot of young girls’ hearts. (Older women as well.) And it’s not hard to see why. Every guy should look like them. Guys take a bite out of this: You can look just as hot. Just simplify it like both of these vamps do. Wear fitted tees, leather jackets, and bootcut pants. Instead, all the girls will be taking a bite out of you.

Top 10 Fashion & Beauty Essentials for Winter
Posted by: cda5 on: December 2, 2009
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

Fashion Spotlight: Tra Tutti
Posted by: cda5 on: December 1, 2009
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.
I find this consignment store to be very inspiring. I wish them great success, especially for the holiday season. Shop for couture with a conscience now at www.tratutti.com.

Ask the Guru: Black & White Striped D&G Handbag
Posted by: cda5 on: November 25, 2009
Dear Guru,
Would you have this handbag Designer Inspired Multi-Colored D&G Handbag, $40.00 in black and white stripped?
-Mary
Dear Mary,
I feel like an IMShopping Assistant! (Take note, IMShopping!) I think you will most likely find black and white striped D&G bags at flea markets. You can also search for them on Ebay. I did find one below for $47.50 at www.myfauxdesigner.com. Of course it’s black and cream, not black and white. (But it looks rather close to white.)
I can see why you’d like those two colors…They’re very classy and chic together. Happy hunting!

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.
