Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:40:22 PDT

What a pleasant surprise! I yearn for SJP Celebrity Styles! Here is the cool New Yorker in front of her brownstone carrying home design mags. Hmmm, maybe she and hubby Matthew are redecorating? Perhaps. While her whole neutral hued ensemble is fab, there are two things I am seriously coveting here: that supremely chic handbag and her heather grey fisherman sweater. Well, I'm off to buy that sweater! I'll have to let SJP keep that bag, check out the price tag below.

P.S. Does this have you nostalgic for some SITC? Check out Dear's fun poll!

To get SJP's cool look,

Adam + Eve Ribbon Belted Sweater, on sale for $158 (originally $395).

Short-sleeved jersey T, $20.

Goldsign mauve corduroy 'Passion' pants, on sale for $87 (originally $170).

Steve Madden Bees, $70.

Givenchy Bettina Satchel, $1,395.

Oliver Peoples Oversized Plastic Sunglasses, $285.

Classic Literature Baby Books: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?

Kate Stahl — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:25:18 PDT

If you're a bibliophile, chances are you're eager to move on from Goodnight Moon and Pat the Bunny to meatier fare. I love Eric Carle's books, but we recently added Have You Seen My Cat? to my daughter's collection, a book in which every single page says, "Have you seen my cat?" and "This is not my cat!" Absolute torture after three readings.

You can entertain your baby and be reminded of your days reading books with actual chapters if you pick up BabyLit's new collection of literary classics-turned-board books ($10 each). Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet have all been gorgeously reimagined for lil ones with clever, simple text by Jennifer Adams and stylish illustrations by Alison Oliver. Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet are also available as eBooks for your iPad ($4 each).

While I'm seriously digging these interpretations of some of my favorite classic books, I'm not sure the stories of star-crossed lovers and tortured orphans are quite baby-appropriate. What do you think? Are these BabyLit board books kid-friendly or will you stick to Karen Katz and Sandra Boynton?

7 Money Tips For Couples Starting a Family

Business Insider — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:15:00 PST

We're thrilled to present this smart Business Insider story here on Savvy!

Middle-income parents will spend nearly $227,000 in 17 years for children born in 2010, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

But don't let that scare you - saving for a family can actually be fun if you know what you're doing.

"The most important thing to understand is that your priorities are going to change and your spending habits need to change to reflect those changes," says Stuart Ritter, a financial planner at T. Rowe Price.

With Ritter and other financial experts' help, we'll help you prepare.

Invest in a 529 savings plan

Saving for your child's education is crucial to his or her success, and 529 plans are tax-advantaged college savings accounts that are available in all 50 states.

Most are free to set up, while some states require a minimum of $25 to open an account, says Adam Koos, a certified financial planner with Libertas Wealth Management. Anyone can contribute and take advantage of the tax benefits.

Open the plan before your child is born, says Ritter, and name yourself the beneficiary. You can change the name on the account once your child is born.

Announcing the Winners of the 2012 People's Choice Awards!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:52:17 PST

The people have spoken! The People's Choice Awards have all been handed out after fans voted for their favorites in categories for movies, TV, and music. It was no surprise that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was a big winner since it was the last chance for the wizarding series, and vampires from both the big and small screens also got their chance to come onstage. The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev won for favorite TV drama actress, and though Robert Pattinson may have lost favorite movie actor, he accepted the award for Water for Elephants for favorite drama.

See who else won in the full list of the winners after the jump.

Check Out the 2012 People's Choice Nominations Before the Show Airs Tonight!

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 08:02:20 PST

The People's Choice Awards are tonight, so now's your chance to get a good look at who's up for the trophies. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is dominating the movie categories, especially since there was no Twilight film eligible for this year's awards (though Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson still earned nods because they appeared in other movies). Vampires are still big at the PCAs, at least for the TV categories - The Vampire Diaries and its stars are all over this list. On the subject of the small screen, the awards have brought in another distinction for television: network shows and cable series are now separated (and fan favorite Game of Thrones pops up for its first season).

You'll be able to watch the results when the show airs tonight, and remember: we are LIVE from the red carpet and backstage throughout the show! The live show starts at 5 p.m. PST/ 8 p.m. EST, and you can watch us here.

To get the full list of nominations, just keep reading.

Anne Hathaway Makes a Striking Harper's Bazaar Cover Girl and Talks Oscars and Her Ex

Lauren Turner — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:48:47 PDT

Anne Hathaway graces the cover of August's Harper's Bazaar in a gorgeous red gown. The actress is kicking off promotions for One Day, and she posed for a striking spread with photographer Alexi Lubomirski and also sat down to chat about her recent Oscars hosting gig and the men in her life. Anne is still going strong with boyfriend Adam Shulman, saying of their relationship, "so far, it's worked out great," but she also touched on why things ended with her ex Raffaello Follieri. You can read more from Anne Hathaway in Harper's Bazaar when the issue hits newsstands on July 12.

On hosting the Oscars: "I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more ﬂattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil. I called him, and we e-mailed a bit. In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don't see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars."
On her relationship with Raffaello Follieri: "There's something very addictive about people pleasing, it's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate. It's one of the reasons that relationship ended. I wasn't able to grow or foster anything."
On getting caught up in romance: "Which has its wonderful side, of course, but also it was exhausting, and sometimes it would freak me out. Mellow doesn't always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life."
