Designer Spotlight: Birdie

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 14:12:22 PDT

Birdie designer Kate Sutton has been a golfer since the age of 12, but it was only as of the launch of her golf-inspired clothing line in 2006 that she started to really look feminine, fashionable and sexy on and off the driving range. Thanks to Kate's frustration with masculine and unflattering women's golf gear, we can all get a little preppy even if we can't swing a golf club for the life of us.

Kate set out to shake up tradition and she did just that with her colorful polos, femme sweaters, short pleated skirts, fitted blazers, Bermuda shorts, modern golf caps (so much hotter than the one your dad sports), and bags.

So even if you don't know the difference between a birdie and a bogey (it's okay, neither do I), check out the Birdie collection, and who knows, maybe it'll inspire you to get yourself to a green.

Allie Merriam — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:58:07 PDT

Busy Philipps and Ryan Phillippe were among the famous parents who brought their little ones along to Kidstock yesterday at LA's Greystone Mansion. The event was held to benefit the One Voice Scholars program, and there was plenty to keep the celebrity babies busy. Ryan's son, Deacon, made his own soda thanks to SodaStream, while Busy and her daughter, Birdie, got to work at the arts and crafts table. Jason Bateman also brought along 4-year-old Francesca, while Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Soleil Moon Frye also brought their kids. Ryan wrapped up the weekend with Deacon while his mom, Reese Witherspoon, was off at the MTV Movie Awards. Reese took home the ceremony's Generation Award with an empowering speech that was aimed squarely at aspiring actresses who feel the need to share sex tapes or naked photos. She kept the celebrations coming afterward as well, joining pals Chelsea Handler and Jennifer Aniston for the MTV Movie Awards afterparty at Soho House.

Katie Henry — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 11:01:52 PDT

Busy Philipps was joined by Marc and Birdie Silverstein yesterday for a stroll on Abbot-Kinney Boulevard, making a pit stop at Lemonade for a drink. There has been plenty of time for family bonding now that Busy's on hiatus from Cougar Town. She and her daughter have been hanging out all the time, including a recent adorable run to Whole Foods. Things may get a little hectic for Busy in the Fall. Her ABC series will be back on in prime time, while her big-screen project with Sarah Jessica Parker, I Don't Know How She Does It, is out in September.

Rachel Zoe Brings Her Family to Support Nicole Richie's Winter Wonderland

Molly Goodson — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 14:02:00 PST

Nicole Richie played host to a number of celebrity parents and their kids at a Winter Wonderland event with Baby2Baby and Huggies in LA on Saturday. Nicole didn't bring her two little ones, Harlow and Sparrow, to the bash, but Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman did pose with their son, Skyler. The stylish 7-month-old was in all gray, which made his big blue eyes stand out. Rachel didn't break out Skyler's adorable Gucci tuxedo this time, though it's going to be pretty adorable when he does get black-tie formal. Rebecca Gayheart, who is pregnant with her second baby, joined husband Eric Dane and their first daughter, Billie, while Busy Philipps got crafty with tuxedo-shirt-wearing Birdie. Cash Warren brought Honor to get her face painted while his wife, Jessica Alba, traveled back from Milan with their younger baby, Haven.

Kate Bosworth Does a Fashionable Day Date With Her Man Michael Polish, Olivia Wilde, and Busy Philipps

Katie Henry — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:01:59 PDT

Kate Bosworth, wearing Proenza Schouler's Spring/Summer 2012 collection, joined boyfriend Michael Polish, Olivia Wilde, Busy Philipps, and Dianna Agron at Vogue's 2011 CFDA Fashion Fund finalist celebration at LA's Chateau Marmont yesterday. Kate and Michael have been constant companions over the past few months, and in addition to their romantic trip to France he also recently accompanied her to a taping of Chelsea Lately. Olivia chose a flirty floral dress for the cocktail reception then changed into a sexy black Yigal Azrouël gown for her red-carpet arrival at last night's In Time premiere.

Busy selected a trendy mint wrap dress for the event and recently told us she's considering recycling last year's homemade Tinkerbell costume for Halloween for her big night of trick-or-treating with daughter Birdie. Fresh off her win at last weekend's Scream Awards, newcomer Chloe Moretz was also on hand for the soiree as were Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss and actress Michelle Monaghan.

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!

Magnetic Nail Polish: The Next Big Thing?

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:49:25 PDT

If you've tired of crackle polish and are looking for the next big special effect, search no longer, because magnetic nail polish is coming to a website near you. If you haven't seen magnetic polish yet, it's basically regular polish with tiny magnetized particles in it. When you put it anywhere near a magnet, the charged bits align themselves with the magnet's poles, creating cool patterns in the polish.

I tried Layla Magneffect in Brown Sugar ($16), which ends up looking like tiger's eye. It's a cool concept (although this isn't magnetic nail polish's first time around the block), and you can expect to see the collection popping up everywhere from Drugstore.com to Zappos soon. What's more, well-manicured little birdies have told us that some of the big nail polish companies are working on versions for next year. For now, check out spring 2012 nail trends for more inspiration.
