Celebrity Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:40:22 PDT

What a pleasant surprise! I yearn for SJP Celebrity Styles! Here is the cool New Yorker in front of her brownstone carrying home design mags. Hmmm, maybe she and hubby Matthew are redecorating? Perhaps. While her whole neutral hued ensemble is fab, there are two things I am seriously coveting here: that supremely chic handbag and her heather grey fisherman sweater. Well, I'm off to buy that sweater! I'll have to let SJP keep that bag, check out the price tag below.

P.S. Does this have you nostalgic for some SITC? Check out Dear's fun poll!

To get SJP's cool look,

George Clooney Gets Dirty, Dapper to Reveal His Best Pranks in LA Times Magazine

Molly Goodson — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:10:00 PST

George Clooney was happy to try on both goofy and handsome looks for the Oscars issue of the LA Times Magazine with Viola Davis on the cover, which is out on Sunday. The accompanying article is focused on George the prankster and chronicles everything from friends who have been on the receiving end of his famous cons to what he's careful about when choosing his targets. George recently said he's planning a prank on Brad Pitt that may "end his career." George and Brad are up against each other in the best actor category at the Academy Awards, though when it comes to practical jokes Mr. Clooney is in a league of his own. George revealed his best one ever, which involves a cat litter box, and a time when he backed off something he'd been working on for years. Here are highlights:

Clooney on his pranks: "Humor only gets me in trouble when I forget that any joke I make will be heard by a lot of people and can be hurtful to someone if I’m not careful. I’m just screwing around...but you realize as you get home that it’s something that would hurt someone’s feelings, and maybe it’s not needed. You have to consider that a little more."
Jerry Weintraub on one prank from Ocean's Eleven days: "I had a gold silk shirt-a very expensive gold silk shirt-Clooney hated. Once at the Bellagio when we were doing Ocean’s, I was having drinks with the guys, and Clooney sneaked into my closet and stole the shirt. That September, for my birthday, I received a big box wrapped with ribbon-and in it was my gold shirt. On the back, Clooney had drawn a picture in black marker of a giant penis, and he’d had everyone who participated in a charity golf tournament for prostate cancer in Las Vegas sign it, too. There were 30 signatures-Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Wayne Gretzky..."
Julianna Margulies on an ER era prank with an unnamed man: "He asked George, 'Does my pasta smell funny?' and then pushed the plate into his face. Clooney took it all in stride, but he waited until the guy’s last day [on the production] and placed a license plate frame on his car that said, 'Honk if you like p--y.' The guy thought every-one was honking and waving goodbye to him. [George] was the master-and he had the patience of a Buddhist monk. He can create a joke that will take eight years [to pull off]."

Look of the Day: Sheer Flare

FabSugar — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:00:41 PST

Fab reader BrittandWhit took an updated approach to '70s style by contrasting a wide leg look with a pretty feminine top. Her baby blue bell-bottoms set a retro tone, but the addition of a flirty sheer button-up blouse, neon pink skinny belt, and peace sign scarf gave it a modern girlie twist. She wore gold statement earrings, silver bracelets, a Gucci clutch, and a black hat to complete the groovy throwback vibe.

Congrats BrittandWhit!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and we might just feature you on FabSugar!

Group Therapy: My Family Won't Stop Harassing Me

Tres Community — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:05:01 PST

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community.

My cousin and I had a big falling out about a month and a half ago due to her lying, stealing, cheating, and manipulating. I ended up telling her not to contact me until she can admit she robbed me (yes she robbed me) and she's had at least six months of therapy. I don't have solid proof of the robbery (stolen out of my car and, of course, her prints are all over it), but she also stole my debit card pin number and texted it to a mutual friend, who told me in time for me to cancel my card. This friend has the text still but neither of us wants to get the cops involved; but if we did, cousin is already on probation for felony credit card theft so she'd go away for a long time.

My cousin has been harassing me, demanding that I meet her to return a pair of $10 Walmart leggings that she left in my car six months ago. She also claims to be pregnant which I'm sure is a lie. I'm afraid she's trying to set me up and I've been ignoring her, but she shows no signs of stopping. I blocked her on Facebook, but she still calls and texts me almost daily. I loaned her my favorite gold and green bikini and never got it back. I was thinking of going to the police station and showing them the texts and saying that I'll trade the pants for the bikini at the station, and that I don't want to press phone harassment charges but I want her to leave me alone.

Should I give it more time? My side of the family isn't close to her side and all of our mutual friends have cut ties with her for the same reason I did, so going through someone isn't an option. And I know someone is going to say "kiss that gold and green bikini goodbye," but I look sexy as hell in it and I don't swim in chlorine so I've had it for years and it's not faded and I really miss it.

How to Travel Cheaply in Europe

LearnVest — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:15:51 PST

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

I recently embarked on a 16-day adventure through Europe: five nights in Paris, two nights in Milan, two nights in Rome and five nights in London. Sounds expensive, doesn't it? It doesn't have to be. Here are my secrets on how I saved tons of money on this vacation!

Rewards Programs. About a year in advance of the trip, I applied for a Marriott Rewards credit card (I pay off the balance each month and just accumulate points). The person I went with travels for work on a weekly basis and only stayed in Marriott hotels for a year. Between the two of us, our hotel stays were free for this trip. Even further, with Gold Status we got free breakfast every morning, and unlimited bottled water and snacks. Goes without saying that this was a huge money saver!
Fly Round Trip. I started scoping out flights months in advance, and what I noticed is that round trip flights to Europe were way cheaper than flying to one country and then home from another. So I booked a round trip to London, which only cost about $600 per person (including taxes and fees). The trip started in Paris, which meant getting on another (separately booked) flight from London to Paris once we arrived, but then I ended our trip in London for easy access going home.

Read on for more tips on traveling cheaply in Europe.

Trend Alert: The Flare Leg

Hannah Weil — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 09:03:37 PST

This season, the sexiest pair of jeans you'll own is the flare leg. Need proof? Just check out a couple of Fashion Week's chic street-stylers and a few of our favorite celebs - Olivia Palermo, Heidi Klum, and Rachel Zoe - all rocking their respective versions of the flare. It's a little more '70s rocker than the wide-leg, and we love how it hugs in all the right places. For now, play up the retro vibe with a shaggy fur topper, or play it down with something sleeker; then, when warmer weather hits they'll look just as cool with a floral tank or a boho top like Heidi's.

That's why I asked Dr. Stein Gold some of the more pressing acne questions: all the things you want to talk to your dermatologist while you're visiting his office, but either don't have the time to fit in or simply forget to inquire about.

Jessica Simpson Gracefully Juggles a New TV Show, Wedding Planning, and Launching a New Fragrance

Katie Henry — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:17:23 PDT

Jessica Simpson stepped out of a studio in LA yesterday in a leg-baring sequined gold minidress. Her fiancé, Eric Johnson, met up with Jess later in the evening at the Sunset Tower, though there was no sign of his parents who joined the engaged couple for cocktails over the weekend. Taping has already begun on Jessica's upcoming NBC fashion reality contest, Fashion Star, and according to sources Jess and her fellow judge, Nicole Richie, are getting along great. In addition to filming her show, Jessica's still looking for the perfect wedding dress and launching a new fragrance, I Fancy You. If that wasn't enough to keep her busy, she's also prepping for the Fall release of her latest shoe, clothing, denim, and signature bag collection.
