Dogeared Makes Jewelry For SATC 2 and Eat, Pray, Love

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:00:08 PDT

Dogeared, the LA-based jewelry brand that creates everyday jewels with inspirational messages, is going into the movie business. It has signed a deal with HBO to create jewelry associated to Sex and the City 2. What's more, it has also inked a deal with Sony to design a line inspired by the upcoming flick Eat, Pray, Love. "We relate to the theme of a woman’s journey for self-fulfillment and happiness," Dogeared founder Marcia Maizel-Clarke said. Fred Segal will sell the latter line, ranging from $20 to $100, while Bloomingdale's and Fred Segal will carry the SATC 2 collection, priced from $30 to $150, starting in May.

The Look For Less: Dogeared Wishbone Necklace

FabSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:00:22 PDT

I like the idea of having an everyday necklace to wear with any and all outfits. This Dogeared Wishbone Pendant Necklace ($58) is something I can see myself sporting when I don't feel like wearing a loud statement necklace. It's subtle and would hopefully bring me good luck. The price isn't horribly bad, but I found a similar necklace for less than half the price!

To see the look for less,

I stumbled upon this Wish Inspirational Pendant Necklace ($15) while doing research for everyday necklaces. It's nearly identical to the Dogeared version - petite and charming. Hopefully, just because I paid less doesn't mean I'll get less luck . . .

Fabworthy: Dogeared "Find a Cure" Necklace

FabSugar — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 03:00:22 PDT

Almost every necklace Dogeared creates, I fall in love with. I can't resist how delicate and understated they are.

The latest one, this Dogeared "Find A Cure" Ribbon Charm Necklace ($26), arrives at an opportune time: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of the profits goes to organizations that help the lives of those affected by the illness. It would make a sweet gift for anyone, whether or not their lives have been affected by breast cancer.

Fabworthy: Dogeared Canvas Bag

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:00:22 PDT

Some slogans are painfully cheesy and some are downright brilliant. Guess which category this Dogeared Canvas Bag ($23) fits into? Ding, ding, ding. We've all seen our fair share of canvas totes - hello, I'm Not a Plastic Bag - but this one takes the cake. "Your plastic bag can kiss my canvas." Canv(ass), get it? Carrying this bag will not only make you look caring, but comical as well. Plus, imagine how many new friends it'll help you make.

Celebrity Style: Christina Ricci

The adorable Christina Ricci left the gym looking mighty cute and non-sporty in her light blue plaid Splendid shirt, cutoff shorts, and Sigerson Morrison gold sandals. Wouldn't it be nice if every gym buff left their sneakers and sports bras in the . . . gym? I think so! The actress completed her casually nonchalant look with a cool cream bag, a star necklace, and Dita sunnies.

Fab Gift Guide: Mommy Dearest

FabSugar — Mon, 07 May 2007 12:22:22 PDT

Mother's Day is the day for mommy dearest to shine. Now, she should really shine everyday in my opinion - as the woman who inspires you, supports you, and absolutely adores you. So take the time to spend the special day with her, and take the time to present to her a thoughtful (fashionable) gift. Here are a few stylish ideas.

Under $50

Dogeared pearls of beauty necklace on thread, $26. I love these delicate threaded necklaces. This is a casual necklace she can wear everyday until the silk thread wears down - then she has a single pearl to remind her of you!

A couple more,

$50-$100

Neiman Marcus Polka dot umbrella, $70. Why? Because she would never spend $70 on a fancy umbrella, but will gladly accept one as a gift.

Over $100

These Longchamp Nylon Foldable Totes, $115, are so handy dandy and chic. Even if your mom already has one, these come in a variety of lovely colors and I'm sure she could use another one!

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Jaime Richards — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:32:00 PDT

Gemini isn't just one of the funnest roller coasters ever (Cedar Point for the win), but it also happens to be the third sign of the zodiac. Personality-wise, Geminis are known for their sharp wit and curious natures. And seeing that they're the sign of the twins, Geminis are therefore known for being dual-natured and complex. Think versatility and the ability to change direction to adapt to a wide array of situations. At their worst, Geminis are tense and moody, and at their best, they're lively and charismatic. Famous Geminis include: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (naturally), Angelina Jolie, Venus Williams, Zoe Saldana, Courteney Cox, Heidi Klum, Natalie Portman, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Carey Mulligan.

To bring out your inner Gemini beauty: Deck yourself out in colors that are just as bold and bright as you, such as orange and yellow. Your focus area is your hands and arms, so try a fun polish or an oversized perfume ring as an accent. And don't be afraid to create a few paradoxes, pairing the bold with the tame and the muted with the vibrant. To find out more about the Gemini-themed products above, just keep reading.

What to Expect Director Kirk Jones Shares the Personal Stories He Worked Into the Upcoming Film

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:19:39 PDT

Chances are you probably have a dog-eared copy of What to Expect When You're Expecting laying around your house. The "pregnancy bible" has been the first stop for information for expectant mamas since 1985, and while the nonfiction book has undergone four significant updates since its debut, few readers probably foresaw it being turned into a movie - unless it was a film being shown in childbirth classes. But under the direction of Kirk Jones, himself a father of three boys between the ages of five and 21, the book makes the feature film transition, telling five interconnected story lines about couples trying to start their families. With stars like Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Kendrick, and Brooklyn Decker all part of the ensemble, the movie is getting significant buzz prior to its May 18 opening. I sat down with the director to discuss his interest in the project, and what it was like directing so many stars who aren't parents themselves.

LilSugar: What attracted you to a movie about pregnancy and babies?
Kirk Jones: For 27 months of my life I've been attached to my wife who was pregnant. One of the things that attracted me to the movie was explaining what that journey is like for guys as well as girls. Understandably, over the years women have been the focus of pregnancy subjects in movies because they're the ones physically going through the changes and all that. Some of the language and comedy in the park with the dudes was raw and fresh.

LS: Did What to Expect When You're Expecting impact you at all when you were expecting your first child?
KJ: When you have that first one, everything is so scary! If you bought a refrigerator from a store, you get more instructions on how to work it than you do a baby when you come out of hospital. Its like bye-bye; good luck!

LS: Did you bring any of your personal experience with your wife's three pregnancies into the film?
KJ: I did. Unfortunately, it was the slightly more tragic one. As is really common, my wife and I, as have a number of our friends, experienced a miscarriage. So when I first saw the script I don't think that story was in [it]. So one of the contributions I made was asking if that story could be included, because I thought if we're presenting pregnancy, we should present the whole story and not just sweet, happy bits. And then just being on set, because I've been there and I just remember the funny little things that happen. Having been through it, I felt kind of qualified to add things here and there.

Keep reading to see what Jones says it was like directing Cameron Diaz with a prosthetic belly.
