Ginch Gonch Puts The Fun Back Into Boom Chicka Bow

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Men, Gift Guides


Maybe the pressure to be romantic and übersexy on Valentine's day is getting to you; or maybe you and your honey wholeheartedly embrace the tacky fun of candy hearts and cupids -- whatever your reason, we bet the "Heart On" collection (get it?) by Ginch Gonch will be irresistible.

Ginch Gonch
rebels against the boring, uninspired underwear men have been forced (forced!) to endure for eons -- their mix of humor and sexuality is certainly apparent in their tag line "Regardless of your inches, we cover you in our Ginches!" -- it comes as no surprise that Ashton Kutcher is a fan.

The men's collection consists of sports briefs, low risers (AKA tightie whities) and jockstraps emblazoned with hearts and lips across the interesting parts. With names like "Heart as Rock" and "Lip Reader" the underwear manages to be cheeky without crossing the line to tasteless. The women's collection is cute and comfy (read: No lace thongs here!) and utterly adorable. Take a look at our gallery to see what we mean:

Prada Releases a Bluetooth Watch - Awesome Stuff We Don't Need

Filed under: Accessories, Gift Guides

Prada Link Bluetooth watchWhen it comes to mixing fashion and technology, it appears that designers on both fronts are rushing to team up and blur the lines -- that way they can charge $817 for a device that's probably technologically inferior to the $200 iPhone. One of the products stemming from one of these partnerships is a curious little LG Prada Link wristwatch that communicates via Bluetooth to the new Prada II phone. How cool, sort of.

Karl Lagerfeld in Puppet Form on Etsy - Daily Obsession

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Gift Guides, Daily Obsession

What's creepier than obsessing over eccentric, ponytail-wearing super designer Karl "the Kaiser" Lagerfeld? How about obsessing over a tiny felt finger puppet crafted in his image? Yes, it's kind of strange to think of cuddling up and playing designer with a fuzzy Karl puppet, but for some reason, we can't help but think this little doll is going to make somebody rich -- or at least make them a little extra Christmas cash.

Filed under: Steals and Deals, Gift Guides

Black Friday Sales - Hottest Deals

    The day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday, is the busiest shopping day of the year and seen as the official start to the holiday shopping season. Every year, shoppers from all over the country are roused from their tryptophan-induced slumbers in the pre-dawn hours as they hit the stores and claw their way through the sales racks. It's both terrifying and exhilarating. This year, the troubled economic climate and the soft retail forecasts make the sales and bargains better than ever. StyleList has scoured the ads and specials and we're bringing you our can't miss picks so that you can make the most out of the sale season

    Banana Republic

    Through December 1, 2008 Banana Republic is offering up to 40 off select styles, both online and in stores. There are some some really great deals, like this wrap coat for $175 (30 off).

    If you are near a Banana Republic Factory Store, the ENTIRE STORE is 40 off from Friday at 12 AM through November 30, 2008.

    Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store
