Eileen writes, “I was trying to find out the designer of Nicki Minaj’s bathing suit in the Why You Mad video…”“…It’s beautiful. Thanks!”Nicki showed off her bodacious body in a Herve Leger Pre Spring 2012 Bandage swimsuit (shown in red):Chanel Iman was the first to be styled in the suit for the cover of Elle Magazine’s October 2011 issue:As you can see the suit’s aesthetic varies wildly depending on your body type.Unfortunately the piece is not yet available at Herve Leger’s online store, though similar styles are available for pre-order starting at $580. My guess is you’ll have to wait a bit before you can buy Nicki’s swimsuit, though you can try calling a retailer near you to see if they have it. Find stores at www.herveleger.com.What do you think?

Cassie is on the move! The model/songstress was spied in London in a fur lined jacket, accented by a $725 Alexander McQueen Leopard Skull Scarf in Sand/Black:The Italian made neck flourish is 70% cashmere and 30% silk, and intersperses feline spots with the house’s signature skulls.$725 is a hefty price tag for anything particularly a scarf!But would you splurge? If so, get Cassie’s Mcqueen piece here.

2012 continues on a stylish note with Briana from Baltimore, Marlyand:She muses, “Fashion is an Evolving theme in my life.”“… It builds my confidence, embraces my prettiness, and introduces my sexiness.”“… Fashion is relevant & I am it.”“… I love to have fun & try different styles that are unique to me.”“The way I dress is simply a way to express myself or how I’m feeling for the day.”Ok!

Winter is about as awesome as your fly coat collection, but somewhere around mid-January brisk, dry winter weather and wind chill factors just gets tired. I know I’m about two seconds from retiring my long johns and economy-sized vat of petroleum jelly *sigh*. But to get us through the rest of this season, here’s five bath and body products to add in your arsenal…1. LUSH Glorious Mud Body Mask, $6. If you’ve never set foot inside a LUSH store, go there right after a particularly bad day and watch how quickly your mood will shift. I’ve never met a LUSH employee whose cheer wasn’t turned all the way up and if smelling and testing your way through mountains of colored soaps and hair products doesn’t make you dance on the inside, well then…I bet you do bad things to unicorns, too.Glorious Mud Body Mask is a small yet potent treat that gives you an inexpensive spa-like experience at home. Simply break off a piece of the mask, gently massage it into damp skin, and then rinse. If you have a few extra minutes to spare, let it dry for deeper penetration and exfoliation. Made with rhassoul mud, aloe vera, and vanilla, your skin will feel soft and supple right after.2. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, $19.50. This decades-old best seller is a powerful multi-tasking ointment that heals severely chapped (and split) lips, elbows, knees, keeps brows in place, and smooths down cuticles. You can even use it to add gloss to the face (use sparingly) for a “just walked off the runway” fresh-faced look.3. The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Scrub, $12-18. Not only does this scrub take skin from dull to divine (thanks in part to antioxidant Vitamin C and lemon seed oil), but it also smells excruciatingly good. I like to hoard a dozen or two containers in my shower caddy.4. Jo Malone Bath Oil, $35-$65. If you love scent, these are a must-try. They combine signature Jo Malone scents with hydrating bath oil for a luxurious experience that will have you both smelling and looking good. If you enjoy fruity scents with a touch of spice, try the brand’s Pomegranate Noir fragrance. Your nose will thank me later.Get ‘em here:More Jo Malone… Those are my picks.
