Fashion Week Live in SF And Fab Was There!

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:11:22 PDT

As you all know I attended Fashion Week Live last night. It was a blast! While the runway show was the main thrill, the pre-party and goodie bag were added bonuses. I am waiting for more pictures from the event but wanted to share some highlights with you. Also, a big thank you to Sephora for my golden ticket!

Some highlights were:

Two of the gorgeous peeps in this picture! Naomi was graceful, yet powerful, on the catwalk and Tyson, well, just look at him. These two were the crowd favorites too, with welcoming claps from the audience.
The show lasted about an hour, and was divided by themes. My favorite theme was evening! The most stunning gowns were by Zac Posen and Donna Karan.
My favorite daytime looks were by local designer Peter Som; my lip reading skills picked up Vanessa Getty whispering "I like that" to a friend about a gray ruffle asymmetrical dress by him. Also, notable, were the Marc Jacobs pieces that were surprisingly more sultry in the flesh!

Stay tuned for hopefully more photos from the event!

Hmmm...Where Is FabSugar Going To Be Tonight?

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:55:44 PDT

Somewhere exciting!

I am happy to share I will be attending Fashion Week Live in San Francisco. This is way cool because I get to see a runway show of selections from the New York Fall 2007 ready-to-wear collections by Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, Badgley Mischka, Nanette Lepore and Michael Kors. Oh, and did I mention Naomi Campbell will be working it on the catwalk? Wahoo! Stay tuned to hear how it was tomorrow...

The Downsides to Meeting Your Goal Weight

Shape — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:32:50 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar.

When I started losing weight, I often looked at women who were thinner than I was and thought, "Wow, her life must be so easy." I knew that once I got to my goal weight, I'd feel awesome, and healthy living would be just as easy for me as it was for all the "I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight" women around me.

11 Ways to Rev Up Your Metabolism

Now that I've lost 75 pounds, I can say that I do feel awesome . . . but I can't say that a healthy lifestyle comes easy. Weight maintenance isn't as simple as I expected. While being at my goal weight has its perks, I have to admit: I failed to appreciate some of the great benefits I enjoyed along the way. If I did it all over again, then here's what I'd do differently:

See how you can enjoy the weight-loss journey after the break!

"I'm Afraid of Turning Into My Mom"

Tres Community — Tue, 15 May 2012 03:05:17 PDT

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

Someone please help me. I have some family issues. Let me start off with my mom. I love my mom, but I can't stand the way she is. Her thoughts are very old fashioned. Let me give some examples. She said I can't move out until I'm married (which is totally not going to happen, I plan to move out when I'm 25 married or not). She doesn't let me or my brother go to clubs because according to her people put drugs in your drinks and start fights with you (I know both of these two things happen but I mean come on I know better) so once my brother went and she practically disowned him for like a week.

She shows me off everywhere saying that I could do this and that and that. She is very judgmental of other people, and when I don't agree with her she gets mad. She could find any excuse to fight with us, if a fly passes by she could pick a fight about it. Her facial expression is always tired, sad, angry. I'm tired of it, I love her but I can't stand her ways. I'm scared that I'm going to end up being like her. I know I could choose the way I live my life, but monkey see monkey do. I'm already starting to notice some things that I do that she does. But then again she's practically all I have in the country we live in.

I do have a brother and a stepfather but my stepfather prefers to be with his family and my brother prefers to be with his girlfriend's family. So I'm left alone with her, since I don't have a boyfriend or that many friends and I feel bad if I leave her alone.

Speaking of my brother I'm so disappointed in him because today we came back from a little gathering his girlfriend's family had. And oh my, he was so loving and social at the gathering and everybody loved him and knew him. Then I think of the times he's home and he's so different it's like he prefers to be with that other family. He doesn't like the way my mom is either. When he's home he is so distant from us and is out practically the whole day everyday with the girlfriend. He gets mad/irritated when we talk to him. But no when he's over with her family or just his girlfriend he's a completely different person and my stepdad does the same thing when his with his family.

So I'm left with my mom and her negative attitude, and I don't want to be like her I'm trying to see things I do the same as her and change them but ughhh it's all genetics and habitual behavior that it's practically now natural to act the way she does. I'm just so sad at this whole situation. I love spending time with my mom and love her to death and I'm thankful of everything she's done for us both, but her negative attitude, prohibitions and old fashioned thinking make me have resentment towards her. Then my brother, I have never seen him act so loving with us or any body of our family when they come to visit. Please help me on both situations. Thanks. Oh, by the way I'm 21 and he's 23.

The Style Crowd at amfAR's NYFW Kickoff Gala - Who's Most Fab?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:27:05 PST

Before the Fashion Week crowds descended on Lincoln Center this morning, fashion insiders gathered at amfAR's gala to give NYFW a proper welcome. Among the styled crew were Carine Roitfeld in a lacy Givenchy Couture with daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld opting for a leg-revealing kimono-style Louis Vuitton. Helena Christensen showed off her supermodel stems in a shorts and blazer combo, Elisa Sednaoui shimmered in Louis Vuitton, and Blake Lively glowed in an Alexander McQueen printed strapless gown. Clearly, the gathering at Cipriani Wall Street wasn't lacking in style, but the most Fab attendee is still up for debate. Who gets your vote?

Earning $50,000 Will Make You Happy

LearnVest — Wed, 02 May 2012 00:15:28 PDT

The magic number for happiness is apparently $50,000. LearnVest tells us more about it.

Good news! Apparently, happiness is on sale for the new, low price of $50,000.

Nope, we’re not talking about private trips to outer space, or even tuition for an Ivy League college. Apparently, all you need to be happy is $50,000 in yearly income.

That’s the finding of a recent poll by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which saw big differences in almost all facets of happiness between those who earn less than $50,000 and those who earn more.

Call it the happiness tipping point, if you will.

Respondents to the poll who made more than $50,000 were more satisfied with their lives concerning factors ranging from friends, to health, to how they spent their time. Unlike getting a raise from $35,000 to $40,000, or even $60,000 to $65,000, “$50,000 is the mark where you start to see significant differences,” researcher Susan McCulloch told LearnVest.

Happiness: Now 33% Off!

Depending on your own situation, $50,000 might sound like a lot. But this is actually a steep discount from what studies previously cited as the golden number: $75,000. A 2010 study from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School found that, up to $75,000, each boost in income increased participants’ happiness. But after that, bringing home more income ceased to matter in their overall life satisfaction.

4 Tribeca Docs With Sex Appeal

Tara Block — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:00:54 PDT

This week is the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, and while there are plenty of indie rom-coms to catch our eye, it's the documentaries we're really dying to see. One film contrasts the women of the Miss India beauty pageant with the girls of a fundamentalist Hindu camp, another looks at our culture's obsession with beauty, and there's even one on the manscaping trend (with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett). Get a preview of four Tribeca intriguing documentaries now, and tell us which one you're most interested in seeing below.

Sexy Baby
Today's kids live in a world of social media, sexting, and porn at their fingertips. How will these young girls and boys who've grown up in such a sex-immersed culture fare as adults? This documentary follows a former porn star, a woman undergoing a scandalous surgery, and a 12-year-old girl to explore America's obsession with sex and its effect on the next generation.
