Victoria's Secret model, Kylie Bisutti (#85 on this year's Maxim Hot 100 List) and 'America's Next Top Model' Jade Cole both rocked this sexy gold SuperTrash dress. Kylie kept it simple with bronze gladiator sandals back in May for the Maxim Hot 100 party in LA while Jade sported the dress with vintage bangles and black strappy heels last week on August 4th in NYC at the Marc Ecko Cut & Sew Fall Campaign Launch at Milk Studios. The dress itself makes a statement on its own, but which model rocked it better?

It's no secret that Kelis is one of music's commander-in-chiefs when it comes to breakthrough fashion, so it's no surprise that she has been seen wearing several pieces from the much-buzzed-about Nigerian fashion house Jewel By Lisa.

Jewel By Lisa (JBL) has made a name for itself by pioneering the embellished Ankara fabric -- adorning it with beads, Swarovski crystals and sequins. Each piece of the JBL collection is distinctive and original, fusing the vibrant West African print with an ultramodern vibe.

They are both known to set-it-off in whatever they wear, but who wore it better?

Harlem-bred pop diva Kelis is back with her fifth LP titled 'Flesh Tone.' Although the album sales didn't do as well as anticipated, Kelis manages to show a lil "flesh tone" and looks stunning in just about anything she wears. Since 1999 she has evolved as a trendsetter through her rebellious sense of style. Whether she is rocking a mini skirt or riding pants, she will definitely incorporate a dash of edge mixed with a pinch of sophistication.
Although she gave birth to her son Knight 9 months ago, she looks better than ever. During her pregnancy, she managed to wear pieces that were colorful and shiny to uplift her mood. Even though she has the body of a goddess that "sits" in everything she wears, everyone has "off" days. Sometimes Kelis and her style team get a bit carried away and experiment with costumes, leaving Kelis looking like a haute mess, as she appeared at the First Annual Data Awards in NYC back in January. But when she pulls it off, she really pulls it off! Find out how to get one of her best looks for less.

Summer time is here and it's time to go for a swim. Now that your vacation time is stacked up, you are ready to get away somewhere warm, with a relaxing body of water, a poolside hotel room or maybe a friend's beachfront summer home. Wherever you go, make sure you are in style. As much as we try to watch our figures or spend hours in the gym, that "pooch" just won't go away. Many women face this problem and are left feeling uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit. Get over it and get an instant nip and tuck with this seasons hottest beach looks.

The trick to pulling off swimwear is selecting the right cut and print and color. Black and chocolate brown are very slimming. Ruffles and gatherings at the midriff tend to hide the "pooch," so DO make sure you shop accordingly. Full-figured women should avoid red, animal prints and neons, because they tend to make you look wider. Also remember that most bathing suits are made of spandex or Lycra, which are close-fitting fabrics so DO go a size up when selecting your swimwear. If you opt for a solid color bathing suit, pair it with a nicely printed sarong or coverall. Get creative with your look, but don't go overboard.

Check out some of our suggestions!

Since fashion, like history, repeats itself, there are certain pieces you should never get rid of because they'll certainly come back in style. The boho (better known as hippie) look is back, and it's time to dig up vintage pieces to mix and match with your revamped 2010 boho-style remix.

In fact, the boho look will be in vogue through spring 2011. It allows you to look sexy without showing so much skin. No need to bare it all this summer -- forget about microminis and freakum dresses! Get with the program -- just make sure you accessorize properly. One false move with the boho trend will have you looking like a gypsy from some lost era. If you opt for small stackable bangles, make sure you go for a bold necklace or bib. And please don't wear bold bracelets with a bold necklace unless you are a mannequin or are on display at an exhibit of some sort.

Lastly, please make sure you select the right shoes to offset the entire look. Rhinestones and animal prints with this trend are a no-no. Look for a gladiator sandal for a more subtle yet casual look or a sophisticated leather sandal with a wedge heel for something a bit dressier for a night out on the town.

F.A.T., the acronym in Triple F.A.T. Goose, stands for "For Arctic Temperatures" and is a description derived from the brand's original commitment to create products that protect the wearer from harsh, wintry environments. From its inception, Triple F.A.T Goose was an extremely popular and a must-have brand for trendsetters and tastemakers. The brand has been owned and manufactured since 1987 by Turbo Holdings, a company with 30 years of success in the apparel markets.

After a 15-year hiatus from the market, Triple F.A.T Goose is being reintroduced to consumers. The brand still maintains a very large underground following, which has remained strong over the years.
