FabSugar — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 10:00:08 -0800

Surviving and staying sane during New York Fashion Week is no easy feat. Trust me. Fashion insiders like designer Jason Wu, social and Phil Collins's girl Lily Collins, model Ali Stephens, and PR queen Kelly Cutrone, also know that very well. All four shared their secrets for surviving Fashion Week and all the craziness that comes with it.

How he'll unwind: Have a mojito and catch up on Nip/Tuck.

Lily Collins

In her bag: My phone, a touch-up mirror, my lipstick (MAC), and a camera so I don’t miss anything.
How she'll unwind: A cup of tea, a movie, and looking out over Central Park and the city lights.

To hear from Ali Stephens and Kelly Cutrone, read more.

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 24 "Girls Night Out"

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Exciting times for The Hills girls abound, what with Lauren gaining new opportunities and Whitney at People's Revolution. An official job offer materialized to come aboard for her "dream job" after proving she could go from "slo-mo to fashion glow" - words from Kelly herself. The girls experienced all of the excitement of the Whitley Kros Fall '08 fashion show backstage, making sure everything went smoothly. But of course there was trouble elsewhere between Heider and Spenci, and Lauren is none too pleased with the opening gap between Audrina and Heidi. How closely were you paying attention to the fashion details?

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 23 "Just Be Careful..."

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Perhaps this double episode thing is MTV's way of making sure that we get both the drama and the fashion. Works for me! This time we saw more of Whitney at her newish job. She seems to be pretty on the ball and unfazed by Kelly's slightly harsh personality, even winning points in a meeting by making a suggestion on possible celebrity outreach opportunities. Go Whit! Meanwhile, Lauren was feeling a little dejected by herself at Teen Vogue but it seems like we might be seeing her helping out People's Revolution soon. . . pretty exciting The Hills developments under way. Take our quiz and see how well you were paying attention to this fashion filled episode.

FabSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Season five of The Hills is winding down, but the drama isn't. Will you tune in for Lauren's final episodes? In an attempt to get Lauren to attend the Pratt/Montag wedding, Heidi hand-delivered her invitation and had Spencer call to apologize for spreading those sex-tape rumors. Awkward. Speaking of awkward, Stephanie ran into her old boss, Kelly Cutrone, at a party and further severed their relationship. Check out the best styles of season five then take my quiz to find out how closely you were paying attention to the clothes.

The City Fashion Quiz: Episode Seven, "The Truth Hurts"

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:00:22 -0800

Last night was all about the Kelly Cutrone cameos on The City. And you know, where there's Kelly, there's brutal honesty. Whitney took Allie and Erin to Kelly's birthday bash, where Kelly repeatedly grilled Allie about her weight. Clearly feelings were hurt. On a brighter note, Erin landed a job at Allie's modeling agency, One Management. How well were you paying attention to the clothes amid the drama?

Finally, Whitney got some major face time in last night's episode of The Hills. Although Kelly Cutrone can be a meanie sometimes, she did an awfully nice thing for Whitney: She recommended her for a once-in-a-lifetime job in NYC. Of course, Whitney made the trip for the interview and even got to see her gorgeous Aussie man for a second. Back in LA, Audrina and Lauren worked on their relationship, while Spencer continued to meddle in Stephanie and Cameron's. Let's see how well you were paying attention to the clothes.

Lauren Conrad Prefers Heels to Flats and Karl to Marc (!)

FabSugar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:00:02 -0700

After compiling over 20 million of your votes, the 2nd annual PopSugar 100 is finally here! To help celebrate tomorrow's announcement of the PopSugar 100, and her debut on the list, we're bringing you this exclusive interview with Lauren Conrad!

It's been a huge year for LC; between her friendships, fashion line, and hit TV show, this starlet is bigger and better than ever. We had a chance to catch up with her and talk about love, happiness, food, fitness and just about everything else. Check out our interviews across the network, and be sure to be back tomorrow to see where she lands and see the rest of the list.

The first time Fab came face to face with the reality darling was at LA Fashion Week back in October, where only a few words were exchanged. Next, we interviewed her shortly on the pink carpet at the 12th Annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. This time LC gets a bit more up close and personal about her busy life, and the highlight of her past busy year, starting her clothing line.

We know you have a ton of projects going on right now. What does a typical day look like for you?

They are all kind of different; this week is crazy because we have a photo shoot every single day. Except Wednesday, I am not the model, I’m shooting my resort look book and I have to be there all day, so those are actually even longer. It's almost more work when you are not the model; it's like an 11 or 12-hour day. Normally we film a few days out of the week and other days we are kind of doing other stuff. We keep pretty busy.

Have you ever come across anyone in all of your nights out that made you really starstruck? Any fun celebrities?

Actually yeah, I met Marc Jacobs when we were filming and I got so nervous when I saw him that I didn’t really know what to do. I was trying to act cool, but I didn’t even stand up to shake his hand. I actually came off a little bit too cold, like I didn’t really care and I felt kind of bad. I get really starstruck over really random people and designers.

Do you have any Summer must have items?

Sunscreen. I use a lot less of everything during the Summer - less makeup and almost no hair products. Summer is a little more natural I feel like. I think good bikinis because it's Summer!

Are you going to be at New York Fashion Week in September? Working or for fun?

Yeah, right now I am planning on it, but I never know for sure. Kelly [Cutrone] hasn’t told us whether we are working yet or not. I will either have to go out with Kelly or I will just go out to see some of the shows.

Do you prefer bags or shoes?

Oh, shoes!

Heels or flats?

Heels.

Karl or Marc?

Karl!

High fashion or low fashion?

High fashion.
