H&M is launching its first line of skincare products with certified organic ingredients, and will debut in stores at the beginning of March. The line will have everyday essentials including shower gel, body scrub, body lotion, hand cream and lip balm, and are accompanied by make-up and toilet bags made from organic cotton.

“It felt like a natural step, since we’ve worked with organic cotton garments for a few seasons now. There’s also a strong demand from our customers for organics, and I hope they will be as excited as I am about the new products,” says Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M’s head of design.

The introduction of skincare products with certified organic ingredients comes at a time when sustainability is even more central to H&M’s work, with a commitment to increase the use of organic cotton by 50% each year until 2013, while projects like H&M’s Garden Collection for Spring 2010 show how organic and sustainable materials can take their place at the very heart of fashion.

The fashion industry has pulled together to organize a nation-wide effort to raise monies for the hurricane victims of Haiti. A $25 “Fashion for Haiti” T-shirt has been on sale since February 16 at retailers across the country. The proceeds will benefit the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which is raising funds for immediate, high-impact relief and long-term recovery efforts to help those who are most in need of assistance.

“The tragedy in Haiti has affected everyone and most of us individually have given money for relief,” said Diane von Furstenberg, President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. “However, I think it is now important to send a message and create a channel for funding from fashion as an industry.”

“The total devastation of Haiti is unimaginable. I am always amazed by the strength, talent and compassion of our industry and now more than ever it is essential we come together and help make a difference,” said Ralph Lauren.

“The devastation in Haiti has touched us all deeply,” said Tory Burch. “Now more than ever is the time to ban together and help them get back on the road to recovery.”

“As we watch the story unfold in Haiti, it is our obligation to act,” said Andrew Rosen, President & CEO of Theory. “We must move quickly to raise the much needed money and support for the relief efforts that are beginning now, and that will be required in the months and years to come.”

The “Fashion for Haiti” T-shirt logo was designed by Peter Arnell, who in 2001 created the now iconic mended heart logo for the “Fashion for America” fundraiser, organized by the CFDA and Vogue magazine, which raised $2 million after 9/11 for the Twin Towers Fund. The black and lime green logo features the tagline “Hope Help Heal Haiti” underneath a block design of “To Haiti With Love,” with a map of the nation standing in for the word “Haiti.” The sleeve will be marked with the “Fashion for Haiti” slogan and the inside collar will have “CFDA” printed on it. The “Fashion for Haiti” t-shirt will be available in women’s and men’s styles at retailers nationwide as well as online at www.cfda.com. Information on how to order T-shirts can be placed by contacting fashionforhaiti@cfda.com.

From the runway to the red carpet, celebrities are giving their backs props. Ladies are covering it all up but letting their backs shine. Before wearing that number please make sure you exfoliate to get rid of any marks. You wouldn’t want to give it the wrong kind of attention. Dresses don’t necessarily have to go waist deep in the back, but showing a little skin adds that appeal that you were looking for. An addition? Jewels with pizazz. That one draping piece will make you glisten.

It doesn’t matter if it is long or short – all that matters is that you show your sexy back!

I fell in love with Monica when she first hit the scene with her album Miss Thang. One of my favorite songs off the album was “Don’t Take It Personal: Just One of Those Days.” Everyone has a day when it seems the world is just not right and she explained it so that everyone, especially our men, could understand.

Over the years we have seen her mature and grow into a woman who has triumphed besides all her hurt and pain. She proved that you can push on personally and last professionally in a world when everyone has something to say. With her new album Still Standing about to drop and recording it while on her own reality show, she showcased that her chops are not just for singing but for keeping it real. Monica is not only still making music but she is debuting a clothing line. Who says a woman can’t have her cake and eat it too?

It is just not a sweet treat you indulge in every so often. Chocolate is a rich brown color that looks good as a hair color or even a lipstick. It is known to also be white and dark. Either way, you should try it because this season Chocolate is on fire!

Chocolate is a tone of color that goes from furniture to shoes. It can transform anything. Diversified, it transcends seasons. Go ahead and attempt to add it in your wardrobe; I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt. By the way, who doesn’t like a little sweetness?

No, it is not just a song by Michael Jackson. Black and White are two staple colors that should remain in your closet. They look best when placed together. Why, you might ask? The contrast is amazing. From watches to shoes it makes you feel like an old Hollywood movie star. Wear a black dress with a white belt – Audrey Hepburn style or a black dress with white polka dots. Try a white jacket with black bottoms or a crisp white shirt with a fitted black skirt. Any way you combine the colors your outfit will look outstanding. Always keep black or white items in your possession, they never go out of style and neither will you.

Whether its short, long, or in between hair maintenance is important, especially chemically treated hair. Using products specifically for your hair type helps to keep hair healthy and shiny and will reduce breakage because you are maintaining a strong head of hair.

Washing your hair too frequently can dry out your hair so if you must do it constantly use a conditioner like Hollywood Beauty Carrott Conditioner which adds strength and moisture to dry and damaged hair. Organic Olive Oil has a good deep penetrating conditioner that conditions the hair and helps restore moisture that is lost during the relaxer process.

Wearing a silk scarf also helps protect hair and will keep your hair looking luscious. Going to a good hairdresser is also a plus. They are trained to take care of all types of hair. If you are starting to see a new hairdresser make sure to tell them what you have done to your hair so that they can properly treat your hair. If you are hit by the recession and must do your hair yourself, make sure you that you read the packaging. Not all products are made for everyone so proceed carefully.

A man in a nice fitted suit is sexier than a man in the nude. The way it hangs on him makes me want to give him a standing ovation. From Armani to Men’s Warehouse, suits with the right shoes can take a man from around the way dude to GQ.

That bold tie makes it even more intense. Try one that fits your complexion. Everyone cannot wear bright colors, stripes or polka dots. Stay away from animals and child like patterns. Cuffs that bling shows off your sophisticated side. Also try colored shirts. Color can make that suit sizzle in 0 to 60 seconds.

Your best bet is to get a suit and shirt tailored by a professional. Paying that extra money will make buying that suit worthwhile.
