Trend Alert: Subtle Sheer Separates

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:00:22 PDT

Honestly, the sheer trend has been one of the hardest ones for me to adopt. I think it's lovely, and feminine, and seductive, but I just haven't come across a way of wearing it that fits my bill. Then, Eva comes around, in black, leopard, and polka dot Dolce & Gabbana. Bingo. Her subtle sheer separates require a sharp eye; her elbow length sheer black sleeves are mysterious, while her sheer polka dot skirt reveals vintage cut bloomers. Sheer, done in the utmost subtle way.

Trend Alert: Tuxedo Days

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 07:30:33 PDT

There are Tuesdays and there are Tuxedo Days. What the hell am I talking about you wonder? As the boys' closets continue to inspire the girls' closets, the ladies are happy to take the creme de la creme of the penguin attire. Button up a vest, consume yourself in a crisp white shirt, slide on a pair of expertly tailored trousers and hello Marlene Dietrich - who set the standard for tuxedo chic. Dribble some satin and rhinestones on, for some femme effect, and get ready to razzle dazzle 'em.

Trend Alert: Drop Waist Dresses

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 14:00:22 PDT

Before the high waists of the 70s and the low waists of the 90s, there was the drop waist of the 20s. It seems many of you were ready for a new decade of influence and Paul Poiret's liberating style of yore is here to liberate us once again. With all the flapper-inspired gallimaufry for Fall, drop waist dresses evoke a sense of ease and sophistication - a stellar combination. If you're tired of a trapeze cut or a baby doll silhouette, try one of these streamlined dresses. Come Fall, just throw one on over a chic long sleeve tee or turtleneck; it may compel you to throw on a long strand of pearls, a pair of buckled flats, a flirty little hat and read some Emily Dickinson at your local cafe. Or maybe that's just my fantasy...

Cameron Diaz has done it again. The Holiday press tour has provided us nothing but fab fashions on Cammie, leaving us always wanting more - or at least envious of her wardrobe!

Savvy Confessions: My Co-Worker Is Sabotaging Me

Savvy Community — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:05:22 PDT

This anonymous posting comes from our Savvy Confessions group, where all identities are kept anonymous.

I'm transitioning into a new position and my manager has asked another employee (someone I don't know) to help me out and adjust to the new role. Turns out, she's about to lose her job soon since our company is downsizing that department and she's been trying to take my position! Another superior, who is a good friend of mine, clued me into it. She doesn't do it in obvious ways, but she just says that I'm not prepared for the role and such and throws doubt in my direction. I actually felt sick when I heard about that because she's always so nice to me. Should I confront her before she totally sabotages me? Or should I bring this up with the manager?

Zooey Deschanel on Why New Girl Fits Her Like the Perfect Dress

Rose Curiel — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:40:33 PDT

New Girl, which premieres this week on Fox, stars Zooey Deschanel as a quirky girl who moves in with a group of guys after discovering her boyfriend has cheated on her. The actress recently spoke with reporters over the phone about making the transition from film to a full-time gig on TV, as well as what we can expect from future episodes of the show. The She & Him frontwoman also clued us in on whether she will continue to croon on the show and how her character, Jess, will move on from her broken heart.

When did you decide to do comedy?
Zooey Deschanel: I always liked doing comedies when I would do plays in school always. I would always play the comedic roles. I guess that's kind of how it started. But I always think of myself as a comedic actress. I guess later I found that I could do drama as well, but I really started out thinking that I was more of a comedic actress. That's what I really love to do, so I'm super happy and excited that I get to do funny stuff every week on the show.

Is any part of Jess's personality based on yours?
ZD: I think it was sort of an actor-writer kismet situation. I know it wasn't written for me initially but it was sort of a perfect fit. You know, you go to a store and you see a dress and it just looks like it was made for you, but it wasn't? That's sort of like what it was like. And now that I am on the show, it is written for me and it's wonderful to have all these great writers writing stuff for me.

To find out what else Zooey had to say, just keep reading.

10 Signs of Seasonal Allergies in Pets

PetSugar — Sun, 08 May 2011 03:20:24 PDT

Spring is the season for allergy flare-ups for many humans, but what about pets? My pal Samson suffers from some droopy, goopy eyes and itchy, red paws that clued his owner into his dilemma. If you're not sure whether a pooch has an issue like this, check out 10 signs of skin or allergy problems:

Constant paw licking
Rubbing body against objects/floor
Excessive scratching or chewing fur
Hair loss
Change in odor
Redness of fur and skin rashes
Flaky or greasy coat
Drippy eyes
Runny nose
Increased sneezing and wheezing

While it's true that a variety of illnesses can cause these symptoms, if you see several of them at the same time, now is a good time to take your pet to the vet to get checked for a clean bill of health!

Twitter, Facebook Explode as News of Osama Bin Laden's Death Spreads

Kristy Korcz — Sun, 01 May 2011 21:22:27 PDT

President Obama took to the airwaves earlier to announce that Osama bin Laden had been killed. And if you had been away from your TV set, radio, or Internet at any point this evening, you could quickly get caught up on the events due to several trending topics like "Osama bin Laden," "mission accomplished," "Watching CNN," and "Wolf Blitzer."

We already know that Twitter is a great source for breaking news, but this time, the news actually came first on Twitter thanks to a clued-in former chief-of-staff for Donald Rumsfeld. There's already a Facebook page dedicated to the news with over 142,000 likes. Obviously, news travels fast these days, but how did you hear about the death of Osama bin Laden - Twitter, Facebook, or another traditional news source?
