Valentine's Day Gifts

See all 21 Valentine’s Day gifts! »

Ah, Valentine’s Day! If you’ve been a twosome for years or are just celebrating your first February 14 together, the question of what to give is always a tricky one to tackle. We’re here to take the guesswork out of Valentine’s Day gifts, with a complete guide of stylish ideas for the man, woman and best friend in your life. From sultry suggestions for lingerie and loungewear—including a bustier that can totally double as a crop top—to jewellery in a range of prices and styles, we have Valentine’s Day gifts for all sorts of lovers. For instance, not ready to propose but want to still put a ring on it? Consider a rose gold commitment ring engraved with a playful (and we mean playful!) phrase. Instead of sending a dozen red roses go with a vibrant bouquet of purple, burgundy and lavender flowers. Men may be notoriously hard to buy for, but we guarantee that every guy will be impressed by a Valentine’s Day gift of high-end grooming products, a dapper bow tie or a quirky pair of cufflinks. For the best friend on your list, cute and stylish Valentine’s Day gifts are the best way to show you care. We’re fond of quaint jewellery boxes, sweet-smelling soaps and body washes—including one scented like conversation hearts! No matter what Valentine’s Day gifts you give, we think that delivery with a flirty smile is always key.

The top 10 strangest celebrity creative directors

Marc Jacobs Creative Director Diet Coke

Gone are the days when celebrities and designers were just, well, celebrities and designers. Now with every celebrity endorsement comes with a prestigious title—one that we’re used to being associated with helming a major fashion house—the creative director.

While we can’t be too certain what part of the process these celebrity endorsements play other than lending their face or fame to the product, it has become increasingly common for musicians, actors, and designers to add a creative director title to their CVs (aka their Wikipedia pages). With the recent news of Alicia Keys becoming the Global Creative Director of Blackberry, and today’s announcement of Marc Jacobs as the newest creative director of Diet Coke—succeeding Jean Paul Gaultier—we’ve decided to take a look back at some of the weirdest and flat out funniest creative directors to date.

David Beckham gets naked and pulls several wedgies in H&M’s new Guy Ritchie-directed short

By | February 6th, 2013 | 10:30 am

Nakedness, wedgies, the paparazzi not spotting its target—oh, the miracles that can happen when you can just bask in the glow of your hotness. In the latest commercial for his underwear collection for H&M, soccer’s ultimate babe David Beckham gives the salivating ladies and gents what they want with this cheeky (womp womp) one and a half minute frolic through the Los Angeles streets wearing nothing but—you guessed it—underwear. The premise is a simple one. His robe got stuck in Posh’s Range Rover! His bulldog locked him out of the house! A classic Guy Ritchie-style chase ensues, as he runs and swims after the speeding car through the streets and backyards getting nakeder and nakeder. Everyone from kids playing soccer, to a couple of unwitting paparazzi, to a busload of tourists is shocked to find Beckham in his undies—but not as shocked as us when he not once, but TWICE pulls a wedgie from between those two famed buttocks. Can you tell we just emerged from a cold shower? Are we creeping you out just a little? S’ok, just watch the video again.

Want even more David Beckham? Watch the behind-the-scenes video below. Haaaay.

Calvin Klein gives us a six-pack of reasons to be excited for the Superbowl (aside from Beyoncé, that is)

Calvin Klein Superbowl Ad

In addition to Beyoncé’s highly anticipated half-time performance, Calvin Klein has given us a six-pack (and not the drinkable kind) of reasons to tune into the big game this weekend. Today the brand announced that a new Calvin Klein men’s underwear advertisement will debut during the Super Bowl, adding to the list of high-profile ads that air during the annual television broadcast. The commercial will launch Calvin Klein’s Spring 2013 advertising campaign.

This year, the campaign stars male model Matthew Terry, a recognizable face for Calvin Klein. The images were shot by renowned American photographer Steven Klein. Through the images, Terry stars as a character in a contemporary “man vs. machine” creative. The advertisements are similar to Calvin Klein’s famed underwear advertisements of the past. Powerful and masculine, it’s easy to see why the classic black and white advertisements still manage to catch everyone’s attention.

If you find red carpet style critiques more enjoyable than actual award shows, George Kotsiopoulos is definitely on your radar. As a co-host of E! Entertainment’s Fashion Police George is an expert on celebrity style dos and don’ts—a talent that’s certainly put to good use during the frenzy of award show season. While he may not be as crass as Joan Rivers, as edgy as Kelly Osbourne, or as agreeable as Giuliana Rancic, George Kotsiopoulos is certainly the most dapper host on Fashion Police panel—and rightfully so. Before joining the E! family, he was an editor for T: The New York Times Magazine and in 2011 he was ranked as one of the most powerful stylists in Hollywood.

With so much of his career focused on the fashionable goings-on of Los Angeles, you may wonder just how we met up with George Kotsiopoulos in Toronto. It turns out the Fashion Police-man is just as passionate about grooming as he is style—which is why he was a panelist at Unilever’s Be Groomed Be Gorgeous event. His number one tip for men’s skincare: start using SPF as soon as possible and apply it all the time. (This explains the bottle of Dove Men + Care Face Lotion in his bag.) Also in George Kotsiopoulos’s Viktor & Rolf bag: an Etro scarf, a Tiffany & Co money clip and a tiny sewing kit containing all the tricks of the trade that a seasoned stylist needs. Ready to see what else this E! Fashion Police host carries? Read on and explore.

We’re so close to Target opening in Canada that we can taste it—quite literally, after yesterday’s blowout media preview at Toronto’s Evergreen Brickworks, which opened up with marshmallow laden hot chocolate and an ice rink fashion show fit for the Canadiana hall of fame. Kicking off what’s sure to be an amazing year of firsts, Target unveiled its list of launch partners and brands that will be available in Canada upon its various openings in March and April of this year. Babely interior designer Nate Berkus, makeup pioneer Sonia Kashuk, pint-sized chef Giada De Laurentiis (and famed US snowboard champ Shaun White via video) were all in the house to launch the Canadian openings of their ongoing Target partnerships, as well as mega-stylist Kate Young who will unveil her red carpet-inspired limited edition collaboration collection on April 14.

Is Mad Men embracing ’70s style for season 6? The bouffants are getting bigger and sideburns are officially a thing

Mad Men Season 6 preview photos

See all the Mad Men season six preview photos »

If you’re counting, there are just eleven Sundays to go before the return of Mad Men. That’s right: the sixth season will premiere on April 7 and already speculation is running rampant about what’s to come. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has always been extremely secretive about upcoming plot lines but this morning a series of photos were released to promote the show. Much to our delight, the perfectly staged black and white shots offer some insights as to what Don Draper and friends might be up to for season six.

First of all: The hair! Before we discuss what’s going on with the ladies, take moment to digest Pete Campbell’s new sideburns. His very-’70s hairstyle is already a fan favourite, considering that it took only a few hours to be commemorated with a Twitter account.

As for Megan and Betty, both are wearing the sort of hair that Lana Del Rey dreams about: voluminous bouffants complete with curled tendrils at the front. It’s very Priscilla Presley—and a style she was known for at the end of the ’60s. Which really only adds to the speculation that season six may jump ahead a year or two from where season five left off in 1967. Read more »

United Colors of Benetton Spring 2013 Ad Campaign

See the United Colors of Benetton Spring 2013 Ad Campaign »

United Colors of Benetton released its Spring 2013 fashion campaign today, and this season it’s the unique group of models that has caught everyone’s attention. In the past, Benetton has been known for launching controversial ad campaigns that focus on international social issues such as race, politics, and sexuality. Throughout the 90’s, these campaigns raised social, cultural and ethical questions with their shocking and sometimes tragic images that had little to do with the clothes. However, this time the retailer has chosen to celebrate a group of nine international personalities who are recognized for their strength, passion, and diversity; continuing Benetton’s commitment to multiculturalism while still showcasing the brand’s spring clothing.

The nine talents include South Sudanese model and former refugee Alek Wek, British boxing-champion-turned-model Dudley O’Shaughnessy, top Middle Eastern model Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, and iconic Brazilian gender-reassigned model Lea T. Each with their own inspirational story, they all represent Benetton’s commitment to promoting tolerance and multiculturalism. The campaign, which features print ads as well as a series of videos, sees each model sharing their unique personality and discussing their interpretation of colour.
