Armani Exchange Giveaway: Win $100 Gift Certificate to Celebrate A|X TV Launch

by fh on October 23, 2009 · 198 comments

AXb1 Fashion Hippo partnered with Armani Exchange to introduce the launch of A|X TV.

What is A|X TV? It is an online video platform, that offers a peak into the coveted world of Armani Exchange.

The videos masterfully capture season’s campaign shoots, candid behind-the-scene moments, never-before-seen footage from previous campaigns, and the lifestyle culture of AX generation (including music reels and interviews with the world’s hottest DJs).

And while Armani Exchange campaigns have never lacked in sleekness or sexiness, the cool thing about the videos is that they show us beginning to end experience, and bring us closer to the people behind the curtains and what’s really going on.. Think Reality TV of Armani Exchange campaigns and photo shoots.

What will you win? 1 Lucky reader will get $100 A|X gift certificates mailed to spend on anything your heart desires from A|X. Enter by November 5th midnight PST.

What do you have to do to enter the contest?

1. Head on over to the Armani Exchange - A|X Live – A|X TV and look around. If any of the videos speak to you, share it with your friends via Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace button. Come back to FH and let us know in a comment section what you liked about the platform (sizzling models, sexy clothing, exotic locations for the shoots, previous year’s campaigns (including interviews with Alessandra Ambrosio), from the Street footage, the music, and more.)

2. Subscribe to Fashion Hippo free newsletter (top right) or RSS feed.

3. Tweet or Stumble this giveaway (if you use either of these social networks.)

The winners will be announced on November 6th. If you are a winner you will need to email fashionhippo (at)fh.com and let us know your shipping address.

Sexy Halloween Costumes Revealed: Vixen Kitty, Alice in Wonderland, and French Maid

by fh on October 21, 2009 · 3 comments

Resurrect your childhood spirit and celebrate this Halloween with a costume so sexy, it will send chills through the crowd.
Each year I envision myself getting all decked out in a fashionable costume creation. And each year the local costume places fall short in quality and creativity to my cravings.

Well, not this year. This year with Flirt Catalog, there is an incredible selection of uber sexy outfits that can be purchased online.

Order by the end of the day tomorrow 10/22 and the costume is guaranteed to arrive in time and ships free. Use cod HAUNTTEN to get 10% off all regular price costumes, 5% off sale price costumes.

Here are our “most seductive” picks:

1. Vixen Kitty Halloween Costume – $53.50 (after 10% discount). We love this sexy kitty costume and all the details it comes with: the tasteful combination of pink ans shiny black fabric, the front pink ribbon criss-cross. and a choker with tiny bell. The
ruffle tulle petticoat is sold separately.

2. Alice in Wonderland Costume – $33 (after 5% discount). Create your own Wonderland adventure while wearing this short and sweet number. The costume comes with dress and stockings. The eyelet trim petticoat is sold separately.

3. Sexy French Maid Costume – $41 (after 10% discount). We agree, French Maid Costumes have been around for a while, but we couldn’t resist, the sexy corset and a mini ballerina skirt on this one. This costume consists of mini dress with bow detail and built in petticoat. It comes with Feather duster, in case you’ll actually decide to clean. Pick up a pair of
knee socks to go with it.

And don’t forget a wig to complete your transformation.

Halloween is not your thing? Check out our over-the-knee boot guide and ruffle blouses and tops guide.
