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!

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...

Earn More Money By Changing Up Your Office Space

LearnVest — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:15:07 PST

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

Most of us spend about 40 hours per week at work - in other words, the majority of our waking hours.

And nearly all of those hours are spent sitting at our desks. It’s a definite problem - and not just because we’re missing happy hour or quality couch time at home.

There’s no shortage of discouraging research pointing out the evils of a sedentary lifestyle and claiming that sitting will actually shorten our lives.

But, conversely, making a few tweaks to the way you sit - and the space you sit in - all day has been proven to make you a happier, healthier worker, busy earning your killer salary.

And, scientists say, the happier you are, the more you tend to earn.

In an effort to make the time spent at our desks as productive (and as profitable) as possible, we’ve combed the research for the easiest, most effective tips to soothe your mind and body when trapped in a cubicle . . . or corner office.

Just follow these four steps.

1. Make It Comfy

When we say “comfy,” we mean “ergonomic.” It’s an unfriendly word for a friendly concept: basically it means “intended to provide optimum comfort and to avoid stress or injury.” Friendly, right? Besides, an awkward workspace can lead to major health issues, including disorders in your joints or tendons, so a little tweaking of your cubicle can go a long way for your well-being. Line up your body correctly by following these two principles:

Your feet should be flat on the floor and your elbows should be even with your desk. This can be achieved either through adjustable chairs or - if chairs are a hot commodity at your office - a combination of step stools and pillows.

6 Strategies to Save More This Year

Kiplinger — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:27:21 PST

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

Saving doesn't come easily for us young adults. Entry-level salaries don't give you a lot to work with. And, well, we also tend to spend what we make - and then some - on the latest gadgets and flashiest fashions.

But don’t worry. We’re not doomed to frivolity and the wreckage it can make of our finances. Here's how you can start saving smart throughout 2012:

Periodically calculate how much you spend. What better time to review your budget than at the start of a New Year? “It’s really hard to [track your spending] each month, so aim for just once or twice a year,” says Jill Boynton, a certified financial planner in Newington, New Hampshire.

Just be sure when you do it that you track everything. Boynton recommends filling out a spreadsheet with a month’s worth of spending. Or you can try an online budgeting tool such as Mint.com (See our slide show: Which Budgeting Site is Best for You?). But note: Mint works best for those who deal mostly in plastic as opposed to cash. When you make an ATM withdrawal, the site labels the transaction as “Cash & ATM.” Unless you diligently manage your cash transactions (you can manually edit Mint’s labels), you can easily lose track of where the money goes.

The drudgery of tracking spending can pay off when you find surprising expenses you could easily cut. At the end of 2011, I crunched my own numbers and found that I shelled out about $200 a month at Starbucks and other restaurants. I’m sure I could cut that by at least half. That’s like finding a $100 bill every month in my back pocket.

Blake Resumes Work and Awaits a Visit From Ryan

Katie Henry — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:25:41 PST

Blake Lively chatted on the phone as she left her trailer on the NYC set of Gossip Girl today. She bundled up and headed back to work for the second day in a row to shoot upcoming scenes as fans wait to find out Gossip Girl's true identity. The show's 100th episode aired on Monday and was filled with plenty of OMG moments including Blair's royal wedding and Serena's love confession to Dan!

Blake's been balancing her time between the set and fashionable parties lately, and yesterday she even fit in a visit to one of her favorite Manhattan boutiques, Chanel - looks like she has a new quilted Chanel case protecting her iPad. She recently stepped out to support friend Jason Wu at the launch of his Target collection, and she could be prepping for multiple parties in conjunction with Fall Fashion Week. The stylish storm officially kicks off on Feb. 9, when Blake's boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds, will also be in town promoting his new film, Safe House.

Runway Retrospective: Jason Wu

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:38:15 PST

Taipei-born designer Jason Wu has quite an eclectic background - he started out as a freelance doll clothing designer and has quickly made a name for himself with real girls in the fashion world with his luxe, super-feminine sportswear collection. Jason's easy, glamorous designs are a hit among stylish stars like Diane Kruger, Blake Lively, and Natalie Portman - not to mention First Lady Michelle Obama, whom he dressed for the inaugural ball in 2008. Each of Jason Wu's collections are impeccably crafted, blending classic haute couture techniques with a modern, sophisticated sensibility. With his Target collection launching Feb. 5, plus a New York Fashion Week show planned for Feb. 10, we thought this would be the perfect time to take a look back at Jason Wu's most memorable runway looks. Click through to see them all now, and check back for our review of his Fall 2012 collection next week!
