The Juice: Designers Against AIDS + H&M.

SPREADING THE WORD ONE SHIRT AT A TIME.

Jade Jagger and Katharine Hamnett have joined forces with the likes of the Scissor Sisters, Rihanna and Timbaland to create a new collection - Fashion Against AIDS - with H&M. All the artists involved have participated free of charge to design a range of T-shirts, tank tops and hoodies for the project, which was initiated by charitable organization Designers Against AIDS. The aim of the organization is to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people. The pieces run the gamut from subtle patterns representing those affected to more overt means of getting the message across; a contribution from Hamnet - a T-shirt emblazoned with "Use a condom!" - is typically vocal.

"It's a collection that's rich in color, with considerable commitment going into every garment," explains H&M's head of design, Margareta van den Bosch. "The artists have created personal prints with a strong sense of style." And with a top price of $19.99, there's no excuse for not getting involved. H&M's Fashion Against AIDS range will be available from February as part of its younger-end Divided label, with 25 per cent of the proceeds going to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world.

Major Bite: January Magazine Covers Wrap-Up.

JUST A TASTE OF WHAT 2008 IS GONNA BE LIKE.....
Okay, so I've been stalking the newsstands like a crazy ex impatiently waiting for the January magazine covers to drop! I must report that I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen as yet. My favorite cover so far has hands down been Victoria Beckham on the cover of ELLE. I was so ecstatic I almost knocked an old lady over just to grab my hands on this issue simply because Mrs. Beckham graced the main page. (Okay that didn't really happen i kid, i kid! lol) I must say she killed it like it was nobody's business on the inside editorial pics - serving up nothing but high fashion! Look for yourself. She should really consider becoming a model full-time especially after she murders those upcoming Marc Jacob Spring Ads! In for a close second, was Mrs. Cruise, I mean Katie Holmes. Man, I remember when she was just tomboyish old Joey from Dawson's Creek. Even though that was just her character, Katie didn't really shy too far from Joey's sense of tomboyish looks in her own personal style. I guess when you marry someone like Tom Cruise, you get an automatic upgrade in the fashion factor. I can't hate because she is doing it! Her look is so polished and classic. That's what I love about her, Katie does her own thing & doesn't rely heavily on what's trendy! The other covergirls of the month include: Hilary Swank (who's cover SLAYS by the way, OMG) on the cover of W Magazine, Hilary Duff covers Cosmo, Alicia Keys blows things up in Giant Mag, Kate Hudson flashes that gorgeous smile on the cover of Vogue & 2007's "It" Girl Rihanna looks fierce on Allure's cover. Ahem, am I the only one who is kinda over Rihanna? She did it HUGE this year but it's time for something new. What's next? We'll have to wait and see what '08 brings.

Extra Bite.....
Is it just me or are the magazine covers from overseas normally 10x better than the ones here in the US? lol. I mean like seriously, the Harpers Bazaar Japan Cover with JLO is beyond fierce! Whew.

Top 10 Tasty Celebrity Looks of the Week !

THE CREAM OF THE CROP.
Do I really have to say anything? Let the outfit's speak for themselves, lol. My celeb fashion divas were on point this week. In the words of Tyra: FIERCEEEEEE HONEYYY.

Top 10 Tasty Celebrity Looks Of The Week!

I DON'T NEED NO HEADLINE FOR THIS ISH!
Okay, so clearly I've been listening to Jay-Z's American Gangster way too much. lol. Anywho, the red carpet was literally ON FIRE this week. That's why it took me so long to post my top 10 looks my lovies. I really had to shrink this list down about 3 times. lol There were so many amazing looks this week. Of course, there are those repeat offenders who are have graced my top list before such as: the always lovely Thandie Newton, Rachel Bilson, Eva Mendes, Fergie and the flawless Eva Longoria! Eva and Beyonce are KILLIN it in those gowns, fitting their bodies to the T. And the jewel tones (jade green, ruby red) are nothing short of perfect. Jennifer Lopez who always shuts down the red carpet also looked fierce in her Versace gown baby bump and all. One of my personal faves Ms. Charlize Thereon (who I don't see enough, hmph!) looked like a Goddess in her draping gown. Jennifer Hudson wore that jumpsuit, okay! I loved it on her. It definitely has that Vintage Hollywood look to it. As does Eve, who opted to wear a Beret on the red carpet. It is a daring
move, but she pulled it off! Those were my top faves, but EVERYONE looked fantastic. Can't wait til next week. ;)
