I want to address some application with IP1 and other thru IP2. I normally connect my laptop to the company's VPN where the firewall blocks some applications like Skype. I'd like to select what applications will go thru one IP (for the vpn) and others (like SkyPe) thru the other IP. I could use WiFI to get one IP and the ethernet cable ofr the second one. Thank you in advance

What you want to do is called "Multihoming". I have added a link to a detailed description on Wikipedia, though you do not want to get as in-depth as described in the attached article. Now to the meat & potatoes, if you use a router to split your internet connection you might already be in business. Technically this should be that same as connecting 2 machines to your home network.
*Configure you router to be your DHCP server.
*Enable both NIC cards on your laptop. (you mentioned that you had both WIFI and Ethernet)
*You might have to configure you wireless NIC to see your wireless network.
*Reboot so that both NIC cards grab an address.
*Verify be using the "IPCONFIG" command that both NIC cards have an address.
From there you should be in business. If your VPN client allows you to specify which connection you can use, than specify one so that it will leave the other alone.
I am not sure what the terms of use for your companies VPN implementation might be, so please take the time to find out and act accordingly. A VPN is a valuable resource.

A properly designed and configured VPN will have as one if its primary purposes the prevention of what you are trying to do.
If you have the ability to build a proxy server, you may be able to do something tricky, but essentially, by trying to bypass your contracted terms of use of the work VPN, you are guilty of misuse and could be subject to - at minimum - withdrawal of the VPN service.
A competent employer would simply dismiss you.
You need to pay attention to the terms of use for all your IT equipment and services provided under your employment contract and ensure you stick to them.
If you breach them AND it can be proven that your illegal actions allowed a hacker to gain access to the work network, you could face a legal liability in the millions of dollars.
So don't do it.

Nope. Only if you have multiple IP's addressed to your connection by your provider (Like servers)

If you have a good security provider, you can have "yours", but will register "different" to others...
