Manolo Blahnik Campari Suede Mary Jane: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:00:22 PDT

Is it just me, or is this Manolo Blahnik Campari Suede Mary Jane ($555), G.I. Jane gone wrong? Even though Marc Jacobs claims camouflage is a forever icon, sometimes you just have to say no. I'm all for the occasional patriotic print, but Mary Janes?! I think camo is best worn casual, not dressy. I could only see SJP pulling these off - not me.

Dior Marks Art Basel With a Painter's Palette

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:10:02 PST

If you want a chance at what may be 2012's most artistic beauty offerings, get in line for Dior's designer collaboration with German painter, sculptor, and installationist Anselm Reyle. The Berlin-based artist is known for working with bright colors and unexpected materials like neon tubing, and his violet camouflage eye shadow palette for Dior echoes his aesthetic perfectly. It's all part of a larger Dior accessories collection Reyle designed, which includes handbags and camo-print sandals. The palette ($110), along with five nail lacquers ($23) in Reyle-inspired hues, will be feted at a private party during Art Basel Miami this week. Not on the invite list? Look for the goods at Saks Fifth Avenue in January.

Angelina Jolie Stays in Switzerland and Focuses on Her Role as Goodwill Ambassador

Lindsay Miller — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 12:44:16 PDT

Angelina Jolie spoke with the chairman of the UNHCR and the UNHCR's Egyptian ambassador yesterday in Geneva, Switzerland. Angelina was honored on Monday for her work with the United Nations and continued her duties there on Tuesday. She has partnered with the organization for a decade, and in addition to receiving her own accolades at the event, she also bestowed this year's Nansen Refugee Award on its latest recipient at the ceremony. Angelina is reportedly taking on a new responsibility with the UKHCR as well, acting as a Special Representative for the Afghan refugee situation. Before she headed to Switzerland, Angelina let loose with a far less serious activity. A few members of the Jolie-Pitt family played paintball in Surrey, England last weekend. Maddox, Angelina, and Brad Pitt dressed in camo gear and helmets for the outing. The family has been spending most of their time this Summer and Fall in Europe as Brad shoots World War Z there, but have also been back and forth to the states, where he most recently attended the Oakland premiere of Moneyball.

A Reader's Fitness Must Haves For 2011

Fit Community — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:00:09 PST

FitSugar reader mandaleebee shared her fitness must haves for the ninth challenge of our Get Fit For 2011 giveaway, and you should, too!

I am a sucker for buying new fitness and beauty products on a whim. One of my impulse buys last year were my Vibram FiveFingers Sprints; I love them. I can't wait for it to get just a tad warmer so I can start running in them again with my pup! I also would like a good fitness watch so I can push myself during my runs (running has never really been my thing, but I am determined to get into it).

My new 2011 fitness obsession is boxing and kickboxing at LABoxing (and I do mean obsession), so I am all about new boxing and kickboxing fitness gear! Because of all of the cardio circuits and ab workouts during the kickboxing and boxing circuits, shorts are out (I don't want to flash the person at the bag across from me, now do I?) and yoga pants are in. I try to kickbox a minimum of three times a week, so I am in dire need of more capri workout pants. These Lucy Perfect Core Knee Pants would be perfect! They hug your core, reminding you to keep it engaged. The Lucy Propel Knee Pant would also be great, providing breathability during the hard workouts and would also be good for nighttime running because of its reflective piping. Also from Lucy, these Run Power Headbands were a great investment to keep my bangs and sweat out of my face during workouts. I'm also sort of obsessed with collecting different hand wraps - I currently have pink and black, so now I need yellow, red, blue, orange, camo and more!

Be sure to share your fitness must haves in our Get Fit For 2011 group to enter our weekly giveaway of a $100 Nike gift card and a chance to win our grand prize - a four-day fitness boot camp in LA, which includes a nutritional consultation with the C&J Nutrition team!
