Bond Girl 007 - the new fragrance from Avon

Filed under: Fragrance, Celebrities with Style

Bond girl Gemma Arterton

We know all about James Bond's brand preferences: he wears an Omega watch, drinks Bollinger champagne and drives an Aston Martin DBS. But what of the Bond Girls? For years they've been a mystery.

Buy your own Bond girl dress

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style

Bond girls are typically known more for their "assets" than for their taste in clothes. For instance, you might have coveted Pussy Galore's coiffure, but you probably did want her closet.

The latest Bond flick, Casino Royale has caused quite a stir for movie goers. Obviously, a blonde Bond was something new, but so too was the comparatively fashionable wardrobe of actress Caterina Murino. In particular, women have been clamoring for one special coral silk evening gown, which was created by designer Jenny Packham. According Ms. Packham, "There seems to be a bit of a global obsession with the dress as women from Los Angeles to Japan are contacting our headquarters to try and get hold of it."

Does this mean that Bond girls are the new It-Girls? We think so.

Ten hottest bikinis

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

It's Fall, the time of year when leaves turn various shades of orange and red, and the crisp air prepares itself for the oncoming Winter. What better time to talk about bikinis? All right, so it's not really swimming weather, but the prices of bikinis are getting slashed like mad! Take advantage of the out-of-season merchandise and buy your dream bikini, complete with the comfort of knowing that you have almost ten months to hit the gym and chisel your body. Here's a list of some of the hottest bikinis to help you on your way...

1. The Classic String Bikini: This baby is like swimwear's version of the little black dress... the very, very, very little black dress. It brings immediate Sports Illustrated sexiness (when not obscenely itty-bitty), but it does have a few downfalls... A) It doesn't offer much support and B) America's Funniest Home Videos has far too many accounts of these things flying away from water slides. If you don't have a rebellious bust and/or plans to take a 200 ft plunge into a pool of tourists, a string bikini will probably be the easiest choice. Victoria's Secret has a lovely and simple triangle string bikini for $24.

Almost a Bond Girl - bikini at Victoria's Secret

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

Victoria's Secret halter bikiniSo you weren't quite bikini-ready when summer started, but that's okay because the height of summer is the best time to buy swimsuits on sale, and if you buy now, you still have a good two months to wear it out by the pool.

There's no holster for a gun, but the style is very Ursula Andress with the belted bottom, and the halter style top shows off those sexy (sunless)-tanned shoulders you've been working on up until now.

The bikini is on sale at Victoria's Secret for $36 for both pieces, and the pieces can be bought separately. It also comes in white, aqua, and plum, but it looks the baddest-ass in black. Just like a Bond Girl.
