Give Yourself A Bangin' Booty

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:59:41 PDT

Destiny's Child aren't the only ones who can sing about being bootylicious. Now you can too! Here are two new ways to boost your butt without having to do thousands of lunges and squats.

Belive it or not, Wonderbra is getting into the butt-enhancing business. The company has created a special padded pair of undies, called Curves-Up Wonderbot, with removable pads that form a heart shape. These are meant for the ladies looking for a little bit of extra junk in their trunk; I never thought I'd see the day. So far, these have only been released in England, but look for them in November (retail price: about $38) wherever Wonderbra products are sold.

For one more booty enhancer,

The booty pads in the Frederick's of Hollywood Premiere Shapewear Bottom Kit are similar to the boob-lifting chicken cutlets that Dear wrote about a while back. The set, available here for $110, includes silicone gel derriere pads, a TLC low-rise short, a pair of Bottom Line Boy Shorts with a silicone strip to ensure a luscious lift, and Pick Me Up Derriere Bands that you pull right up to your bum to add lift.

Love It or Hate It: Jessica Alba's Swirly Jacket

Noria Morales — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 08:39:01 PDT

We are huge fans of Jessica Alba's easy, feminine style, but this white, black, and gold metallic DVF jacket has thrown us for a loop. The print has an '80s vibe, as if Joan Collins might have thrown in shoulder pads and worn it in an episode of Dynasty. On the flip side, it's a bold print, and she smartly mixes it with a basic lbd and black peep-toe booties. What do you think?

Work Out With Beyoncé

Self — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 05:13:30 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

Queen B released her fourth album - appropriately titled 4 - yesterday and, surprisingly, it's more slow-burning ballads than booty-shaking anthems. Still, the always-inspiring singer knows how to motivate us in the gym.

Beyonce, who has graced our cover no less than three times, has told us plenty about how she gets her bootylicious bod into shape. When she's gearing up for a tour (she killed it at England's Glastonbury Festival just this weekend), she works out five days a week with her trainer, and practices her choreography for nine hours a day, seven days a week--while wearing 5-inch stilettos. Her just-keep-going secret? The singer keeps a painting of an Oscar at the gym, so she's literally running towards her next goal. "I look at it, and I'm like OK, I have to stay in shape," she says. So download B's latest album, stick a picture of the chart-topper in your iPod case for extra motivation and hit the gym with this exclusive workout inspired by the singer.

Cardio
First, let's start with the cardio: for a quick, 15-minute warm-up that will get your heart pumping, kick off your jog with the Kelly Clarkson-channeling kiss-off "Best Thing I Never Had," followed by the percussion-driven "End of Time," the reggae-tinged, high-energy "Countdown" and, of course, B's new anthem, "Run The World (Girls)."

Get the rest of the workout after the break!

2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: DKNY

Chi Diem Chau — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 22:12:05 PST

Donna Karan dreamed up a collection fitting for the city girl. True to her street aesthetic, the collection, seen earlier today in Chelsea in a brick-covered venue, was made for stomping the pavement and turning heads. Inspired by modernists in New York City, Karan envisioned fuzzy angora sweaters in bright hues and bold stripe patterns, houndstooth suits and skirts, wide-leg trousers, skinny pencil pants, and tailored coats. It was the details, like a recurring tux stripe detail or contrast color inserts, which gave the collection a smart shot of modernity, youth, and a slight nod to the ‘70s. Bright shots of color were tempered with neutral hues emoting a pop of punch and fun. Karan also sent down a number of sleek three-quarter-length coats embellished with leather sleeve accents; knit and houndstooth padded jackets, which were her remixed take on the classic puff coat; and the standout silhouette of the show, a crisp tailored wool cape.

Trends: Fuzzy sweaters, tailored capes, contrast trim.
Colors: Red, pink, henna, black, cream, navy, gray.
Key Looks: Cape jackets, angora sweaters, houndstooth suit.
Accessories: Ankle-braced Mary-Janes, cap-tie booties, mini-bags with leather tassels.
Who Would Wear It: Stylefiles on the go, city slickers.

Winter Walk Time? Grab the Cooking Spray First!

PetSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:00:24 PST

If your pet's still hesitant about wintertime walks, and not as willing to wear the booties as you'd hope, try the tip I was emailed just this week: Prevent those painful ice balls between paw pads and spritz the paws with a cooking spray before talking that next potty break. You'll still need to wash his feet when he gets back in (which you should be doing anyway because of the possible poisons on the sidewalks), but this will at least combat the pain that makes summertime scampering look more like slinking down the street these days.
