On Our Radar: First Pic of Sienna Miller's Clothing Line!

FabSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 14:24:22 PDT

It was reported late last year that Sienna Miller and her sis Savannah were going into the business of designing clothes. Well, Portfolio has released the first ad photo and details of Twenty8Twelve (Sienna's birthday) and though you can't see much from the black-and-white photo, the collection seems promising, as it's not going to be attached to any particular chain store. If the collection will mimic Sienna's boho-chic style, I'll be happy!

On Our Radar: Lily Allen's Clothing Hits Racks

FabSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 04:02:22 PDT

We mentioned a while back that singer Lily Allen was starting her own clothing line like many other recent celebs. Well, that day has come! Lily Loves hit New Look's Oxford Street location in London. Though the lines weren't as long as they were for Kate Moss' Topshop collection, Lily still managed to please some London fashionistas with her collection of six dresses, footwear and accessories.

Though the collection isn't sold online, you can check for store locations here. (Sorry US style mavens, there are no stores in America that carry Lily's collection). You can, however, enter to win one of Lily's ten graffiti-print dresses.

There are even step-by-step styling tips from celebrity hairstylist Thomas Dunkin (who has worked with stars like January Jones, Rachel McAdams, and Eva Mendes) included so you can be sure to have haute hair whenever you want.

4 Bright, On-Trend Makeup Shades to Try Right Now

Jaime Richards — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:02:08 PST

We're seeing neon colors dominate the fashion world, but these bright, bold shades aren't limited to clothing. Celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman (who has also been guest blogging on BellaSugar) recently shared his advice on how to work vivid hues into your makeup routine. But he has a few more things to add: his top favorite shades for getting the look are listed below.

Colored mascara: Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Royal Blue ($4). "Apply after your usual mascara, but just to tips," Brett advises. "It's perfect for lunch with friends. In the light, your lashes will get a flash of color."
Liquid liner: Wet 'n Wild Mega Liner in Turquoise ($3). "Do you makeup as per usual, and add just the thinnest line along the top of the lashes," Brett explains. "When you blink or look down it's a beautiful surprise!"
Gloss: Estée Lauder Lip Gelee in Electric Violet ($20). "Everyone looks amazing in this shade," says Brett. "It's packed with pigment but in a very sheer, wearable formula. Pair it with an all-cream outfit to give it a little edge."
Nail polish: OPI in Fly ($9). "If you want to try it without a full commitment," Brett says of this polish from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection, "do it on your toes and see what feedback you get."

Celebs Suit Up in Jason Wu For the Designer's Target Launch - Who's Most Fab?

Hannah Weil — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:01:17 PST

Clothes flew off the shelves and celebs flocked to the Skylight Soho in NYC - the site of last night's Jason Wu For Target launch. The designer's highly-anticipated lower-priced line for Target drew a celebrity crowd of our favorite style-setters, eager to fête Wu's latest line - and try out the collection for themselves. We spotted Jaime King slipping into the label's flirty florals and bold color, Emmy Rossum taking a soft, femme approach, and the adorable Chloë Moretz trying out a quirky-chic bow tie-adorned black-and-white look. It's hard to pick a favorite piece from the collection, let alone a standout celebrity look, so we're putting it up to you. Which styled star did Jason Wu's Target look justice?

How to Stop Keeping Up With the Joneses

LearnVest — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:15:16 PST

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

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like there are many money lessons to learn from The Real Housewives.

One spent a season building a $1.8 million mansion and driving around a $1,280-per-month Escalade, only to file for bankruptcy with almost $11 million in debt.

Shortly postbankruptcy, she dropped another $60,000 on a shopping spree so she could continue to fit in with those in her social circle.

Even if you don’t end up with millions of dollars in debt - or have friends who are millionaires - trying to keep up with the Joneses (or the Gorgas, in this case) can not only make you feel lousy about yourself, but also inspire bad spending decisions. We call this phenomenon “money comparisonitis.”

How Having "Comparisonitis" Affects Us

In our own lives, the dangers of gazing enviously at the Real Housewives’ spending sprees, our neighbor’s new car, or that family down the street who can send their kids to private school are not only the fact that it makes us feel bad, but that it literally distorts our view of reality.

In other words, we look at celebrities like the Kardashians or the wealthier people we know, and we try to emulate their spending habits. “You’re not being truthful with yourself,” says Susan L. Hirshman, president of She Ltd., a consulting firm focused on enhancing women’s wealth, and the author of Does This Make My Assets Look Fat?. “As they make more money, that allows them to live a certain lifestyle.” In other words, you have to face facts and spend in accordance with your own budget, rather than feeling entitled to live a certain way just because other people do.
