Trend Alert: Studded Wrap Belts

FabSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:00:22 PDT

I think we have an emerging style star on our hands. Emma Stone was not only rocking a super cute cut-out shoulder dress while visiting MTV's TRL, but she also tied her look together with a studded wrap belt. The beauty of these is you can either dress up a casual look or dress down a formal look. Up or down, just don't wear one with a studded bag - too matchy-matchy for my taste.

Jennifer Lawrence donned Victoria Beckham to stop by Spanish TV show El Hormiguero today. The talk show is well known for putting stars in silly situations, and Jennifer's experience was no different. The hosts had Jennifer juggle a watermelon and even pose with action figures based on The Hunger Games characters. The blockbuster big-screen adaptation of the book is still doing well in theaters, but Jennifer is already looking ahead to her new slate of projects.

We recently got a first look at her in character on the set of Selena, a 1920s period film in which she stars as Bradley Cooper's young wife, and she'll try her hand at horror when The House at the End of the Street hits theaters in September. Of course, she'll also be returning to her role as Katniss Everdeen when Catching Fire begins filming. During her stop by El Hormiguero today, Jennifer even put some of her Katniss skills to the test when she was asked to shoot a bow and arrow. Check out our gallery of celebs on El Hormiguero to see even more of the famous faces who have appeared on the show!

6 Tips to Nix Jealousy in Your Relationship

Laura Marie Given — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:00:00 PDT

There's nothing quite like the green monster to zap the romance right out of your relationship, so do yourself a favor and ditch the jealousy. It's easier said than done, of course, but acknowledging the issue is half the battle. Worried that jealousy might wreck your relationship? Follow these tips to nix the negativity:

If you're jealous . . .

Be sure to focus on your own schedule. If you're regularly stressed about what he's doing, where he's going, or who he's seeing that probably means that you need to be busier yourself. Next time he heads out for guys' poker night, invite over your pals for a wine tasting.
Recognize where your feelings are coming from. Before you lash out or say something that you may regret, take a step back and see what the true issue is - boredom? Loneliness? Try to solve your own problems before you create a new one in your relationship. Join a class to meet new people or pick up a new hobby that makes you feel better about yourself.
Create more time for your relationship. Truth is, you may just wish that you were spending more time together. If that's the case, go ahead and pencil in a romantic date night for every work event or family day. When you amp up the romance, you'll feel more secure, so your jittery, jealous feelings can finally calm down.

If he's jealous . . .

Whatever you do, try not to get defensive right away. The more you try to fight back, the more heated he'll become. Instead, acknowledge how he feels and try to put yourself in his shoes. Chances are, he may just want to feel understood.
Try to make him feel special. If he's upset over your friendship with a co-worker or another guy, consider easing up on how much time you spend with that person. If he feels like you're growing distant, get back to the little things. Write him notes, surprise him with a date, or cook up his favorite dinner to remind him how much you care.
At the end of the day, be willing to compromise. Relationships are a two-way street, so accept the fact that you may need to make some lifestyle changes. Even if your intentions are good, if something is making him uncomfortable, you need to have an honest, sympathetic conversation to see how you can make it better.

Laura Marie Given — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:08:20 PDT

If you regularly get the munchies between meals, but can't seem to quit the afternoon cupcake habit, it's time to make over your snack routine. Whether you're into midday treats or late-night noshing, here are five simple ways to improve your snack selections:

Be a Savvy Shopper
How and when you navigate the grocery store can have a major impact on your eating habits. Bring a full grocery list and shop soon after you've eaten. If you head out when you're hungry, you'll end up grabbing unhealthy foods you'd otherwise avoid. Here are five healthy grocery shopping tips to follow.

Contemplate Your Kitchen Arrangements
If the potato chips are out on the counter and fruit is hidden in the fridge, guess what you'll reach for? Make it easy on yourself by keeping healthier snacks in an easy-to-reach place. When it comes to more indulgent picks, stow them away in a drawer or on a higher shelf. That way, you'll have to make a conscious effort to grab them, which means an extra second or two to consider your options. Learn how to organize your kitchen for healthy eating here.
