Halloween

Grown Up Halloween Treats

Just because you are all grown up does not mean that you can't enjoy Halloween, grown up style.

Just because you are all grown up does not mean that you can't enjoy Halloween, grown up style. While the kids are out trick-or-treating why not enjoy some Halloween treats made with adults in mind. Here are some of my picks:

The Big Caramel Apple from Williams Sonoma. Way too rich and luxuriously appointed for kids to enjoy. This sinfully delicious oversize apple is coated in soft caramel, then drizzled with Guittard dark chocolate and sprinkled with lightly salted roasted almonds. Keep this one all to yourself. Available for $19.95, here.


Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale. A perfect beer for Fall! This is an amber style ale brewed with fresh roasted pumpkins and malted barley with cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg mixed in. Six for $7.99, Available here.

The Ultimate Surprise

Imagine it's the holiday time and you've just received a jewelry box as a gift.

Imagine it's the holiday time and you've just received a jewelry box as a gift. You can hardly contain your excitement as you carefully open it up to see what's inside. Could it be a new bracelet, a funky pair of earrings or perhaps a pendant? Nope! Even better. It's The Too Faced Jewelry Box filled with makeup! How did they know this is what you wished for?

This insanely fun jewelry box is stocked with different cosmetics for your face, eyes, cheeks and lips. Included are: 8 eye shadows, 6 lip glosses and a blush. There is also a duo bronzer a neutral foundation powder, and eye brow powder and wet/dry liner.

No makeup case would be complete without a little bit of sparkle. That's why they've added some shimmery face illuminator in their best selling shade; lust after glow. You can also find two handy double-ended brushes and a mirror inside.

Buy this limited edition here while supplies last for $39.50

Velvet Belts

Luxurious Velvet Belts

Velvets have always been a winter staple.

Velvets have always been a winter staple. The heavy, lush fabric is rich in color and adds a touch of warmth to the winter months. For just a touch of velvet, why not try one of these great velvet belts that are sure to liven up your dark winter wardrobe.

This Melamed Velvet Belt is a real class act, in either luxuriously soft black velvet with silver hardware or chocolaty brown with gold hardware. I love the floral antique touch to the buckle, and it's just wide enough to make a statement without being overbearing. Buy it here for $150.

The Hot in Hollywood Royal Jeweled Velvet Belt is a great way to break up any solid top or dress. It's got a golden-toned buckle with faux stones in amber tones or red and black stones depending on what color you choose. Buy it here on sale for $23.90.

Fab Finding

Come Fab Finding With Me: Pick Out Dear's New Outfit!

On Wednesday, I kicked off a series of very special Fab Finding challenges: All of TeamSugar's fabulously dressed girls need to switch out of summer clothes and get geared up for winter.

On Wednesday, I kicked off a series of very special Fab Finding challenges: All of TeamSugar's fabulously dressed girls need to switch out of summer clothes and get geared up for winter. Your first challenge was re-oufitting FabSugar, and today's assignment is to dress DearSugar in cute new cold-weather clothes.

DearSugar is a little bit older than Fab and Pop—think a slightly preppy yet sexy librarian—but she can still wear very youthful clothes. Like Fab, she also has expensive tastes. So let's all go Fab Finding to choose a more winter-appropriate top, pants, shoes, and a bag.

Be sure to come back and tell us that your Fab Finds are up, or just subscribe to the Fab Finding for Sugar Girls suite and simply add your Fab Finds to it. (Be sure to tag this one with the phrase "Dears Outfit.") Do a good job, and you could have your picks featured right on the DearSugar home page!

Running

FITSUGAR SNEAK PEEK: I once was lost but now...

Hey guys: Get excited, because FitSugar is coming soon!

Hey guys: Get excited, because FitSugar is coming soon! See below for a sneak peek:

...I have found The Garmin Forerunner! If you're like me and have zero sense of direction but love to take scenic jogs and hikes, you'll want one.

Garmin, the GPS company that keeps you on course in your car, has come up with a way to keep you on course (literally and figuratively) in your workout. The Forerunner is a running partner and personal trainer. It will continuously monitor your speed, distance, pace and calories burned so you can train smarter and more effectively by tracking your every move with a super-sensitive GPS that works even on tree-covered trails and near tall buildings. All you analysts out there can then download your stats to your PC and analyze away.

I prefer the Forerunner 305 ($273.89, Available here) over the Forerunner 205 ($208.69, Available here) because it has a heart rate monitor built-in. They both have the Virtual Partner™ which lets you train against a digital person at specified time, distance or pace goals. Finally a personal trainer you can wrap around your bicep.

Want to learn how to fit into those skinny jeans? Need to find a totally fab pair of running shoes that you can actually run in? Dying to know if dipping into your clothing budget in order to eat organically is worth it? Read about all of this and more on our next site, FitSugar!

FitSugar is coming soon. Sign up to receive an email notification as soon as we launch!
