There officially isn't a thing your smartphone can't do—and that includes foreplay. Thanks to a new line of underwear by Durex - and a corresponding iPhone app - you can now control genital stimulation from the touch of a screen. They are calling it Fundawear.

With a pair of briefs for the boys and a bra and panty set for the ladies, Fundawear intends to give your partner the reins to your privates. The app provides a map of erogenous zones, allowing them to control the location and sensation of vibrations in your undies from anywhere in the World Wide Web.

Not surprisingly, there has been a ton of buzz surrounding the fashion in Baz Lurhmann’s remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (in theatres May 10^th). Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin collaborated with Tiffany & Co. for the jewels and Brooks Brothers for the menswear seen in the film adaptation of the classic American novel -- a nod to the authenticity of the film, as F. Scott Fitzgerald was a customer of both brands.

Among the fashion Hits and Disses at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend, one particular eyesore stood out. Actress Hana Mae Lee wore a smushed cigarette butt as a hat—presumably, her brain being the ashtray. Not only is this one heck of a tacky look and statement, but hasn't she heard? Cigarettes are so passé. There's a new nicotine in town and, like any good accessory in 2013, it's electronically charged.

     

With spring comes a season of special events, and for many fashion lovers, that means new dresses, heels, and clutches. The one and only thing I dread about my wardrobe's glamourous turn-about is how on earth I'm going to fit the evening's necessities into one little bag. Luckily there's a new Vancouver-made line of bags that has more than enough room for your lipstick and phone—in fact, you could probably fit a full change of clothes into some of Mary Rich's wickedly oversized clutches.

This season, take everything you know about jewelry and toss it out the window! Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I urge you to at least rethink its placement. Silver and gold is creeping away from those go-to hot spots (the standard fingers, wrists, and lobes) and charting new territory. Here's a look at some of the new (and somewhat recycled) ways to wear it: 

Amidst fashion week and Valentine's Day falls another important event - Chinese New Year!

February 10th marks the first of 15 days of celebration (think homemade dumplings, dragon dancing, and red envelopes) to ring in the Lunar New Year. 

And whether you're Chinese or not, you can easily get into the spirit with Chinese-inspired fashion picks.

Despite my complaints all year 'round that "New Year's is overhyped", when the day finally arrives, I can't help but be excited. Not because of the midnight kisses and prospects of a new year ahead, oh no. It's the glittery fashions, of course, that get me revved up for an evening of once-a-year glamour.

There is nothing worse, however, than wearing an outfit that only makes it to midnight and the first thing to go is usually the heels. As much as they lift and elongate, many high heels also serve as successful torture devices. In comes your New Year's Eve backup: Damn Heels.

It seems like every night there is another holiday bash, but who wants to spend their hard-earned money on a new outfit for each occasion? Let's face it: The holidays are expensive enough with all the gifts and groceries. That's why I like to keep the clothing simple and use accessories to change up my look. Seriously, one little black dress with a handful of accessories does many outfits make.

Here are a few of my favourite glitzy pieces to  turn your LBD into a go-to for every holiday occasion:

There is always one majorly controversial item to come out of the international fashion shows. Normally the honour is bestowed upon Prada or Chanel with their flatform oxfords and hula hoop handbags, respectively, but one of the most recent show stoppers belonged to Tom Ford and his over-the-top over-the-knee gladiator pumps.

The S&M-style shoes blew up the Twitterverse, with the majority of people thinking they were - for lack of a better word - ugly. But often times it's simply tough to understand the runway version in a real world setting.

Gift giving, while fun, can be awfully stressful. What I tend to do is drop the ones I love into categories - the Techie, the Girly Girl, the Homebody, etc. - so that I can seek out the latest and greatest gifts to suit their lifestyle. 

Leading up to Christmas, I'll unveil a few holiday gift guides to help assist you in picking out something for everyone on your list. Today, let's take a look at great buys for the Techie in your life:
