Trend Alert: Baggy Jeans

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Disclaimer: I'm just the messenger. You know this '90s trend is back in action when supermodel Heidi Klum is spotted donning a pair of baggy jeans. Don't get me wrong, I love Heidi, but her saggy denim reminds me of days past in high school watching Boyz n the Hood.

For those interested, most offerings are sold at high end retailers for a pretty penny. Be savvy and raid your man's closet - I wonder if Victoria Beckham borrowed David's - or buy a pair of cheap baggy vintage jeans.

What say you: Are these any better than baggy and saggy pants because they're denim?

Steve Jobs's Iconic Turtleneck Flying Off Shelves

Yahoo Shine — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:24:09 PDT

We're happy to present this article from one of our favorite sites, Yahoo! Shine:

Steve Jobs was famous for Macs, iPods, iPads, and black turtlenecks. The Apple co-founder loved his St. Croix mock turtlenecks and often wore them with Levi's 501 jeans, and New Balance 991 sneakers to keynote addresses when unveiling exciting new product launches to the public. That was his uniform. There’s no doubt of that Jobs was a beloved figure who had a major impact on society, still, we were amazed to learn that sales of his brand of black tops went through the roof after he passed away on Wednesday. In fact, the tech leader may have inspired a bona fide fashion trend: the return of turtlenecks! Keep on reading to find out how much they cost.

Extra Tastes Can Turn Into a Pound of Weight Gain in a Week

Jenny Sugar — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:09:37 PDT

Gaining and losing weight is really about math. In order to lose a pound, you must burn or cut out 3,500 calories per week (500 calories a day). Unfortunately on the other side of the equation, if you consistently overeat an extra 500 calories each day . . . well . . . that's how you end up not fitting into your pants. Calories add up, and here is a simple breakdown to illustrate how easy it can be to eat an extra 500 calories in one day. Do this over the course of seven days, and you're bound to see the scale jump up one pound.

Breakfast

One half and half container in your cup of coffee (20 calories): The same amount of skim milk is only six calories.
One small bite of a Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut (47 calories): Thanks to your boss for bringing in a box to share, and I know they melt in your mouth, but had you known that little bite was almost 50 calories, you may have passed.

Total Extra Breakfast Calories: 67

Lunch

A 12-ounce bottle of Izze Clementine (133 calories): Sure, it's sparkling juice, but it contains almost as many calories as a Coke.
Half a tablespoon of chipotle aioli (flavored mayonnaise) on your sandwich (40 calories): It adds tons of flavor, but a crazy amount of calories too.
Half a cereal bar (75 calories): Your toddler didn't want it so you polished it off in one bite. Next time you might want to store it in a baggie for your little one for later.

Total Extra Lunch Calories: 248

I'm just getting started, so keep reading to find out how little bites throughout the rest of your day can tack on an extra 200 calories.
