Insanely sheer�almost threadbare�tees by Bristol 66 are paired with Nippies ($26), the latest trend in nipple-covering appliqu�s. The tees are supersoft and sexy�hey, they�re see-through. But the fact that the hot chicks screen printed on the tees are also wearing pasties makes this fashion statement clear as day. Nippies come in assorted shapes like hearts, stars or larger nipples and there�s even a line of wedding Nippies. Bat mitzvah Nippies must still be in development.

The Reddest of the Red

This Valentine�s Day, lusciously sexy lips call for Chanel�s top-selling red, �Lover� ($31). For a true red, Lover exhibits all the qualities of a deep, blue-ish hue that works on all skin colors. An orangey tint or pinky stain is harder to match to various skin colors, so do as Chanel says!
