David Beckham Is In YOUR Bed This Valentine's Day!

...Well, sort of! If you get a piece of the David Beckham Bodywear collection, available now at H&M, then it's almost like having that amazing body with you on V-day, right?

Happy Valentine's Day Indeed!

Maybe not, but before you all go out and give it a shot, I recommend you take a look at the Merchandising Society review of the collection itself. I, Rony Patzan, went out to take a close look at the collection, the quality, construction, design, to see how it holds up against it's bodywear competitors. I'm happy to say some is great, and I did buy 8 pieces from the collection, but others are a bust you do not want your man encountering on Valentine's Day!

Welcome Back!

Let's start the spring semester off the right way, shall we?

Spring Fever!

School is back in session and winter is here, but if the cold and windy weather isn't your thing than don't worry. Spring may not be here yet but to cheer you up here's a bright and spunky editorial from Elle Greece by Dimitris Skoulos.

Cover Girl: Gaga

For the fashion chameleon Lady Gaga one cover for Elle UK just wasn't enough as she appears in two covers for the January 2012 issue!

What a way to bring in the new year!

On the subscribers cover to the left gaga is wearing a coral dress from the Spring 2012 Alexander McQueen Collection while in Simone Rocha to the right for the newsstand cover. Her hair in a chopped blonde bob with light makeup that I think brings out her true beauty.

In the issue Lady Gaga shares her secret to good skin, Orgasms and Spinach! As well as her past abusive relationship plus more! 

Marni for H&M!

The fashion world is very fast pace as you all probably know, so it's really no surprise that H&M is already planning for their Spring 2012 designer collaboration! Seems like only weeks ago we were drooling over Versace for H&M... oh wait that was!

H&M took to twitter to announce the big news of the collaboration this week on Monday! The tweet featured the hashtag #MarniatHM, and a video to give followers a fast of the action! They are so eager to show it and trust me I think we are all anxious to buy it!
