Look of the Day: Crisp as Celery

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:00:22 PDT

Cosmic flash thinks her dress is too short, but I beg to differ. If Gwyneth Paltrow can do it, so can she! Her green shift dress is crisp as celery. I like how the silver hardware and shiny flats contrast her fresh frock.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Amanda Uprichard
Wrap: Alternative Apparel
Cuff: Kenneth Cole
Shoes: J. Crew

Congrats to cosmic flash!

Add Some Twinkle to Your Toes

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 14:04:50 PDT

Flats are all the rage right now, and the style goes great with anything from skinny jeans to skirts and dresses. Plus, when they have a little bit of sparkle and sequins, flats can add some flair to whatever you wear. Here are three of my picks for fabulous, glittery flats.

I simply adore Tracy Reese's clothes, and these Bowtie Kitten Schmid Sparkle Flats are really something special. They aren't sold online, but you can call the Tracy Reese flagship store in NYC at 212-807-0461 to order a pair. They are available in silver or bronze and sell for $355. Just keep in mind, they run half a size to a full size small.

For two more pairs,

These Hogan Coquette Ballerina Flats are leather with a little bit of bronze sequins on the vamp. Hogan shoes are also incredibly comfortable, since they stretch and mold to your foot shape after only a few wears. Buy them here for $425.

Grillades and Grits: Get Your Brunch on!

OnSugar Blog — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:00:06 PST

Grillades and grits are a trademark dish in New Orleans. If you can't make the trip to Nola, Food Orleans shows you how to recreate the experience in your own home.

If you've never had or heard of grillades and grits, then I apologize for not mentioning them earlier. They're one of the two most wonderful things to eat for brunch in New Orleans (shrimp and grits being the other). I've never been to anyplace in town for brunch that didn't offer one or both of these goodies. Grillades (gree'-awds) are made of beef, veal, or pork; I haven't encountered a rabbit version yet, but I won't be surprised when I do. The beef is a thin, flat cut of top round or chuck - something that can withstand a long, slow cooking. It simmers in a pot with the trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper), garlic, and a little jalapeno - not traditional, but I really like it - until the rich broth thickens and intensifies, so what you get is a powerfully flavored beef "stew" that is perfect over creamy cheese grits. This is a great Louisiana recipe to try if you're hankering for some thick, rich goodness but you don't feel up to stirring a roux, because you don't have to. The small amount of flour used in the browning of the beef will produce all the roux you need.

Read ahead for the grillades and grits recipe.

Look of the Day: Pretty Poncho

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:01:48 PST

Fab reader CBladyàlamode wowed in a cool cable knit caped look. She draped her pretty beige-and-black poncho over a sequined zebra-striped top and cuffed tapered jeans. Her cat-eye sunglasses, oversize tote, and metallic Mary Jane flats were classic outfit accents. There's nothing we love more than a sparkly daytime ensemble - and this one fits the bill.

Congrats CBladyàlamode!

Taste Test: Dr Pepper Ten

Anna Monette Roberts — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:41:04 PST

The Dr Pepper Ten ads have sparked a lot of controversy in the past month for their perceived sexism. The beverage is targeted to men, with ads claiming there's nothing girlie or unmanly about this diet drink. So we rounded up a group of male and female taste testers and tried it alongside regular Dr Pepper and Diet Dr Pepper. Check out what our tasters had to say about Dr Pepper Ten.

The promise: "A unique blend of sweeteners that delivers the iconic flavor and beverage experience of regular Dr Pepper with just 10 calories."

See if the promise held up.

Busy Philipps Tells Us How to Get Her Tinkerbell Costume

Becky Kirsch — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:00:40 PDT

We love when celebrities get into the Halloween spirit, and Cougar Town's Busy Philipps made the perfect Tinkerbell alongside her adorable daughter Birdie last year. Not only does she totally look the part, but as it turns out, she made the costume herself!

Busy told us, "It was a vintage dress that I had altered!! And I sewed some puffballs to sparkly flats! Instant Tinkerbell!"

Sounds easy enough to us, and you can definitely pick up some sparkly green fabric if you don't already have the perfect dress lying around. All that's left is Tink's perfect blond bun, and you're good to go!
