Justin Timberlake is the new face for two Givenchy fragrance brands set to be rolled out in the U.S. this fall, following the debut in Europe a year ago. Timberlake is the pitch man for Play and Play Intense.

“We were looking for a man who’s recognized all over the world, someone new to the world of perfumery, and with great seductive potential,” said Pamela Baxter, president and chief executive officer of LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics N.A. and president and ceo of Christian Dior Inc.

Okay, I understand name recognition, but I don’t find this guy good-looking, most of the time I don’t even find him cute.  Remember when they used to say that if Mick Jagger wasn’t a rock star he could never get a girl? Add Justin to this list.  Seductive?  What do you think stylish readers?

When Judie and I first met she carried a backpack, shocking for such a stylish and fashion-forward woman.  To me, backpacks are for camping, sporting events, and school girls, not everyday wear.  They make us all look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, not feminine and waaay to practical to be pretty.  But one look at this attache backpack by Chanel ($3,695) has me craving  a 9-5 job that requires  this accessory.  Now we just need for Nine West to knock it off at a price we can afford.  What do you think stylish reader, can Chanel revive the backpack?

Evelinda has been complaining to me for years that more and more people who are just acquaintances greet her with presumptuous kissses and hugs.  It turns out she is right.  The social kiss, which originated in Europe, has now spread to the U.S, and become the “business kiss.” More and more people are cheek bussing rather than hand-shaking. According to the Wall Street Journal, you can’t even use the excuse that hand shaking is more hygenic to avoid kissing people you hardly know.  It’s not!  British docs claim that cheek-kissing spreads fewer germs.  The Journal has kindly supplied some kiss etiquette rules that we pass on to you.

 1.  Who should initiate the kiss or the handshake:  The highest ranking person. If you are on the receiving end — kiss or handshake– copy what the other person is doing.

2.  How many kisses:  One cheek for most businesses; for those of us in the fashion biz–two kisses. (Be glad you aren’t from Ethiopia — they do three kisses!)

3.  How should you kiss:  Right cheek first; air kiss or smack according to what the initiator does.

Got any other rules or suggestions?  Pass them on.  Kiss-kiss!

Are you looking for a tasty non-coated nutrition bar specifically for women?  Then you need to try the Berry Almond LUNA Bar loaded with organic red berries, blueberries and almonds, all good sources of powerful antioxidants.  The Berry Almond LUNA Bar was designed in conjunction with the Breast Cancer Fund and though it is high in antioxidants it is not fortified, so it will not interfere with chemotherapy treatments.  Only 1 in 10 cases of breast cancer are genetic, so what we put in our bodies CAN make a difference.
