The Look For Less: Alexander Wang Donna Washed Hobo

FabSugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 09:00:22 PDT

I have a love-hate relationship with this Alexander Wang Donna Washed Hobo ($795). I'm absolutely smitten with the hip zippers and '80s throwback design, but the cost is far from desirable. There's no way I would splurge on something so of-the-moment, but I do love it . . . right now.

Gear Review: Lululemon Hot Yoga Hobo Bag

Leta Shy — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:49:50 PDT

Considering my everyday handbag is large enough to carry more things than necessary, I was happy to receive the roomy Lululemon Hobo Bag ($118) for review. At 15 inches wide by 13.5 inches tall, this bag is made to fit everything you'll need before and after your workout, whether that's a sweaty Bikram class or a heart-pounding gym session.

After a few weeks of trucking the bag to and from work, the gym, and yoga class, I've gotten used to being able to lug around more gear than I probably should. For one, the Hobo bag holds its shape whether it's packed or empty, which makes it easy to fill when I'm getting my gear ready at night. A surprising number of pockets and compartments makes gym organization easy too - there are three interior mesh pockets, one zippered, for small items (most pockets have a label, like "before," "after", "keys," and, naturally, "chocolate"), not to mention a strap to hold your yoga mat (it will stick out of the unzipped top). On the outside there are two large zippered compartments that can fit your clothes, and two outside pockets for anything from a yoga towel to your phone; they also have toggle ties, which will keep your water bottle from spilling. With these organizational amenities it's no wonder the bag can fit everything I need; in addition to my shoes, sports bra, pants, cosmetics bag, and multiple workout shirts, I'm able to stuff my laptop in it as well.

Music in the Movies: Ezra Koenig Covers "Papa Hobo" in Ceremony

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:06:53 PDT

Vampire Weekend's lead singer Ezra Koenig is pulling a solo move for the soundtrack of upcoming indie drama Ceremony, which stars Uma Thurman and Michael Angarano. Koenig contributes the track "Papa Hobo," a cover of a Paul Simon song. Koenig's distinctive voice does justice to the bittersweet song, which sounds like a perfect fit for the film, where Thurman and Angarano play a May-December couple who are no longer together, but can't seem to stay away from each other, even on the eve of her wedding. Listen to the lovely song when you

90210 "It's the Great Masquerade, Naomi Clark": Most Scandalous Moments

Becky Kirsch — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:15:24 PDT

Halloween comes a bit late to 90210, as the gang gets outfitted for Naomi's big masquerade party. As usual, there's plenty of issues being masked this week (see what I did there?), from Dixon's drug problem to Holly's true intentions.

It's not an episode that's heavy on major moments, but there's definitely some relationship drama as a few couples grow closer together, while Silver and Navid drift further apart. Let's break it down when you

Zach Galifianakis Says Making Puss in Boots Made Him Feel "Like a Kid"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:30:00 PDT

Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek may be the focus of this week's animated release, Puss in Boots, but their feline characters spend much of the movie being upstaged by an egg. It's because that egg is Zach Galifianakis - the comedian voices Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spin-off. I caught up with Galifianakis recently to talk about the great experience he had working on the film, why it made him feel like a kid, and his role in another highly anticipated film, The Muppets.

BuzzSugar: You don't do voice work on animated films that often. Why did you pick this movie?
Zach Galifianakis: They asked me to do it. For years nobody asked me to do anything, so I'm still in that kind of honeymoon phase where I'm like "Yeah!" When they asked me to do it, I watched the Shrek movies [because] I hadn't seen them before. I got really excited about it, I thought that the Shrek movies were really cute. I'm not a big animated movie person either. I don't really gravitate toward animated things, especially a movie. But they asked me to be a part of it, and in the first couple of times I [recorded], my confidence wasn't that great, but I have to say: It's so much fun. So fun to do. I wish everybody could get a chance to do it. It's so fun. Every time I was recording, I was in the best mood. I'm as cynical as they get, and I always roll my eyes at this business, but I gotta tell you, I felt like a kid. I loved it. I really did.

Buzz: Did you ever get to meet the other actors you were recording with?
ZG: [Joking] The courts asked me to stay away from all the other actors. No, I met all the other actors today. I hadn't met any of them. First time.

Grey's Anatomy Rundown, Season Eight Premiere "Free Falling" and "She's Gone"

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 08:56:48 PDT

Isn't it just like Grey's Anatomy to kick off a new season with a horrifying freak accident? For the two-hour premiere, that accident is the collapse of a sinkhole in Seattle. With one woman trapped under her car and dozens of others severely injured, the Seattle Grace surgeons are typically slammed - on top of all of their standard emotional issues, of course.

Meredith and Cristina have been avoiding their relationship problems with their respective husbands by leaning on each other and taking care of Zola. As expected, Meredith is fired by the Chief - but not for very long. At the hospital, April is struggling to get the attention and respect of her colleagues as chief resident, and Teddy finds that her new relationship with Henry gives her a very different outlook on his many hospital visits. Overall, the premiere mostly ties up the loose ends left hanging last season, but there are definitely some pivotal moments, so let's get into them when you keep reading.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Talk Hobo Chic, Their Social Circle, and Olsen Power

Allie Merriam — Thu, 26 May 2011 08:25:39 PDT

Mary-Kate Olsen teamed up with actress Catherine Keener last night for a party for Style Wars, a documentary about hip-hop and street art that was released in 1983. It was an evening of fashionable shoulder rubbing for Mary-Kate, who also spent time with New York Rangers player Sean Avery. Ashley Olsen skipped out on the dinner, but she was spotted in the city this morning heading to a meeting. Both Mary-Kate and Ashley have been busy doing press for their various collections and new online shopping venture StyleMint, and recently spoke about the massive time commitment maintaining their style empire requires. Mary-Kate and Ashley touched on their "hobo-chic" period, their wide group of friends, and the power of the Olsen brand. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen told Style.com:

Ashley on their long hours: "I don’t think it’s the creative process that has ever gotten to us. More than anything, it’s about trying to find balance with work and how we can personally stay balanced while having our corporations grow, and I think that’s been the biggest thing that we are constantly aware of. We have to put boundaries on scheduling. We work crazy hours every week, so it’s been more about figuring out when we need to put our foot down. “We can’t add this extra meeting. It’s one too many meetings in a day; push it later.” So it’s been about that. And with The Row, it’s about how to elevate the process with growth without putting too much on the overhead."
Mary-Kate on the Olsen brand: "All over the world I think people know us from different stages of our life and different things, whether it’s videos or Walmart or as designers or acting. . . I think it’s remarkable that children know us now from things that we did 20 years ago, when we were little guys."
Mary-Kate on her "hobo-chic" period: "For me, it was so cold, like the wind chill. How could you not put on 20 things when you’re going from Los Angeles to walking through the snow?"
Ashley on hanging out with other designers: "I mean, honestly, I don’t leave my house. . . . I’m friendly with a lot of people, but when it comes down to it, you won’t see me actually in that [scene] . . . our closest friends are in all types of fields. My best friend is in law school, the other one’s a Pilates instructor, the other one’s a yoga teacher, the other one works in production, real estate, an entrepreneur."
