These Boots Are Made For Walking: Two Toned

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:00:22 PDT

Take a close look. Do you notice the subtle juxtaposition between the smooth leather and suede of these Oscar de la Renta Leather Boots ($1,195)? This expert two-toned technique adds an exciting and elusive touch to boots. I like how the suede inset breaks up the smooth leather in a harmonious, hip fashion. Be daring and opt for a pair with patent detailing or better yet, contrast your neutral tone with a pop of color.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Simply Irresistible Suede

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Supple, soft, textural - I can't resist. Yes, simply irresistible suede is high maintenance - so it's best to wear it now, before rain drops - but it's worth it. In case of a downpour, make sure to weatherproof your puppies and wear rain boots to and from your destination. I mean, you wouldn't want to tarnish these Jimmy Choo Glint suede boots ($995), would you? Hell no.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Buckle Up

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:00:22 PDT

No matter where you're going, buckle up and enjoy the walk. Buckles have sprouted all over the place on boots: on the front, in the center, on the sides. And they're not all created equal. You'll even notice some experimental boots with stacked buckles. Fab!

This Juicy Couture Jett Buckle Bootie ($448) is among the more posh styles on the market. The polished buckle makes this otherwise-plain boot more glamorous. Whether you're rugged, prim, modern, or old-fashioned, there's a buckle for you.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Over-the-Knee Boots

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:00:22 PDT

There's no denying the power of boots. They're funky, functional, and boast a plentiful harvest.

Let me draw your attention to the subject at hand: these Kristen Lee Montague Boots ($346) go over the knee in an oh so slick manner. The supple suede exudes decadence while the wide, low heel makes for a functional staple. These thigh-grazing boots are made for the strong so stomp loud, stomp proud. Tip: stray away from the tacky and stick to dark, muted colors for a modern appeal.

These Boots Are Made For Walking: Gorgeous Gray

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Obsessed. I've always been into all things gray; it's my neutral. Black sometimes feels too harsh, white is too delicate, and beige is . . . beige is so blah. But gray has the ability to compliment everything and comes off as cool and collected. It makes colors pop and tempers icy neutrals. In suede, it's plush, in leather, it's modern. Gorgeous gray is a win-win. Make a subtle statement in these Steve Madden Persue Grey Suede boots ($290).

Real Talk With TV Broke Girl Beth Behrs

LearnVest — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:59:07 PST

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

Since when is being broke funny?

Since CBS released its new sitcom 2 Broke Girls, in which actress Beth Behrs plays a recently humbled heiress, Caroline, who moves to Brooklyn to hide out after her father loses their family fortune in a Ponzi scheme.

Caroline winds up living with her perpetually poor fellow waitress, Max, played by Kat Dennings, and the two hatch a plan to save their wages and start a cupcake business.

Recession-era cupcake businesses have been all the rage lately (see: Bridesmaids), but shows addressing personal finances - or lack thereof - with humor and honesty is something we don’t see very often. Caroline and Max manage to plan for their future while hustling for their present - and survive on a shoestring with admirable grace. We love that these characters live richly, even on a tight salary: After all, that's what LearnVest is all about.

And, of course, any show where the leading ladies discuss interest rates is right up our alley.

Check out our exclusive talk with Behrs on her penny-pinching past, her first pair of Louboutins - and why she still chooses to live with a roommate in real life. It turns out that we can learn something from celebs about money.

LearnVest: As a 26-year-old in Hollywood, how much of Caroline and Max’s financial struggle can you relate to?

Beth Behrs: Literally up until we shot the pilot, I was working as a nanny five days a week and then as a bartender and concierge at The Geffen Playhouse on the weekends. So, I can definitely relate to being broke, right out of college and working tons of odd jobs to just pay the rent.

Real-life waitress stories and more from Behrs.

Kate Middleton and Prince Harry Wear Matching Wellies to Watch Will Play

Molly Goodson — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:07:58 PST

Kate Middleton bundled up in a furry coat, stayed casual in jeans, and kept her feet dry with green Wellington boots that matched those of her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, to watch her husband, Prince William, play a game of soccer on Christmas Eve. The boots, which William, Kate, and her sister, Pippa Middleton, have been spotted wearing previously for walks and hunting trips, are apparently made by Le Chameau - buy them here - and lined with leather. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in Sandringham with the royal family for their first Christmas together as newlyweds. Kate and William attended Christmas services in the town, where they were greeted by a crowd of well-wishers on the holiday. 2011 has been an amazing year for Prince William and Kate Middleton, but the start of 2012 will have them apart for a couple of months as part of his military service.

Don't Miss the Victoria's Secret Show Tonight - See Every Sexy Moment Before It Airs!

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:25:03 PST

Don't forget to tune in tonight at 10 p.m. EST to see the angels in action at the Victoria's Secret fashion show airing tonight on CBS. To get you in the mood, take another look at photos from the show, which happened two weeks ago, and get the rundown of what to expect!

Victoria's Secret hosted its annual fashion show extravaganza at the Armory in NYC filled with beautiful models and rockin' music to go with it. We were entranced right from the beginning; Candice Swanepoel took the opening spot walking out in a gorgeous pair of ballet-inspired wings and a thong set, with Angels following in a sexy array of feathered, tutu-embellished ensembles. Four more themes followed highlighting Super Angels - Kanye West and surprise guest Jay-Z showed an awesome performance during this set - with models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss decked out in comic-inspired capes and thigh-high boots. The crowd danced along and even Beyoncè made a quick appearance to support her husband dressed in an ethereal white gown. Miranda Kerr got to wear the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure bra as Orlando Bloom stood in the front row clapping as she went down the runway. But there was even more love during the show: During Maroon Five's performance, Adam Levine kissed his VS angel Anne Vyalitsina during the set. Other highlights included light-up neon wings and rotating umbrellas. Check out the complete runway show and after party pictures in the slideshow now.

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.

To read more of my chat with Galifianakis, including his very special role in The Muppets, just keep reading

The New-Baby Expenses No One Told You About

LearnVest — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:15:00 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

A new baby brings all sorts of surprises . . . one of them will probably be how many unplanned expenses pop up in the days and weeks after your new son or daughter is born. An even bigger surprise? The amount of money you’re going to spend on yourself after the delivery, not necessarily on your new little bundle of joy.

The best way to prepare for this financial challenge is to make ample room in your budget to cover at least some of the items below. Consider this a rundown of what to expect to spend when you’re expecting.

Anything But Hospital Food

Hospital food isn’t the best, and you’ll quickly realize that you don’t have to eat it. From then on, you might expect a takeout bag every time a visitor leaves the hospital. But those morning egg sandwiches and evening trays of sushi that you can finally eat again do add up. Two or three nights in the hospital can set you back $50 to $75.

Getting Out of the House

Being on maternity leave feels kind of like being on vacation (except for the lack of sleep and crying baby). You will have a lot of free time, and after a week or two of adjusting, you’ll need to get out of the house and find things to do. You might want to meet friends for lunch and see some grown-ups. You also might want to go for an early evening drink or even dinner with your spouse since the baby sleeps in public right now, and it won’t always be like this. Try budgeting $25 to $50 a week in pocket money for small outings.

Read on for more baby expenses.
