FabSugar — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:00:05 PDT

The early Fall looks were spot on - now Forever 21 is back with its equally fabulous Fall look book starring model Lisa Cant. This time, the vibe is way more '70s, with faux fur vests, maroon leather jackets, and lightwash denim making cameos. Groovy pieces aside, there are also incredibly chic styles: lace, bows, chunky knits. Step inside to discover it all.

Life's a Beach: Revel in Pink

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Tis' the season to revel in pink. If you're fearful of the berry mix, opt to accessorize with a pink bag. It's the perfect transition to coming out of your color shell and will give your outfit a sweet pizazz of color. I love how Chanel's fuchsia geometric clutch (left, on Lisa Cant) highlights the adorable dress. Perfection in pink.

Style Glossary: Paperbag Pants

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:00:22 PDT

Paperbag Pants

High-waist pants that have a gathered waistband, usually tied by a sash or belt made of the same fabric. The term originated because this new style of pant looks like the top of a paper bag. Skirts can also have the same paperbag-like detail. The moniker isn't appealing, but paperbag pants look great on tall girls who seek a comfortable androgynous look.

Get tied up with this Rag & Bone Paperbag Pant ($295).

Double Take: Celebrity Clones, Part Deux

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:00:22 PST

Being the celebrity clone-finder that I am, I have a fresh bunch of celebrity clones for you. First up, model Lisa Cant and actress Alexis Bledel. The similarity in their big, round baby blue eyes is undeniable, as is their rounded facial structure and fair skin. What's more, they're both delicate and doll-like. They can easily pass as sisters. If that were the case, Alexis would be the older one at 26, and Lisa would be the younger at 23. That's crazy because Alexis' baby face could have fooled me to think she's in her teens.

To see more celebrity clones and to hear what I have to say about Kate Moss and her clone,

If Kate Moss wants to know what she'll look like in 20 years, all she has to do is look at Cashmere Mafia actress Christine Ebersole. The toothy smile, the blond hair, the fair, freckly skin, those small green eyes . . . they're eerily similar. Katharine McPhee's pout and eyes look a lot like those of Russian model Regina Feoktistova; new Guess model Line Gost is being called the young Sophia Loren and it's easy to see why; and Kate Bosworth can easily double as model Caroline Winberg. Do you see it?

Top 10 Mistakes You Make on the Elliptical Trainer

Prevention — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:08:59 PST

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Prevention here on FitSugar!

By Lisa Hoehn, Prevention

As the weather drops, more and more people head straight to one machine in their gym - the elliptical trainer. According to a 2008 report from the International Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Association, the number of users of elliptical trainers in health clubs grew sevenfold from 1997 to 2007. And while you may be proud of yourself for making it to the gym and squeezing in some cardio, taking a lackadaisical approach to your elliptical workout and casually spinning your legs while reading a magazine or watching TV isn't going to blast away those holiday cookies. Here, 10 mistakes you frequently make on the elliptical and how to fix them so you maximize calorie burn while adding fun to your ho-hum routine.

Top Workout Ideas For When the Gym Is Too Crowded

1. You’re too lazy to enter your information.
Most machines are calibrated for a 150-pound person - but personalizing your stats will help you get a more accurate calorie read. Aim to burn around 100 calories per 10 minutes, says Jennifer Cassetty, an exercise physiologist.

2. Your resistance is zero.
You might feel like a million bucks spinning at a mile a minute, but without resistance, you’re not going to see results, says Röbynn Europe, a personal trainer at Chelsea Piers in New York City. Make sure that you’re using enough resistance to push and pull through the stride. Then continue at a moderate pace until you feel like you’ve done all you can do. "You shouldn’t feel like you have even five minutes left in you when you step off," she says.

3. You're a sloucher.
Standing up straight helps to lengthen your abs, giving you a chance to engage your core and even work your upper body muscles, Cassetty says. Certified personal trainer Neal I. Pire, MA, CSCS, president of Inspire Training Systems in New Jersey, recommends hopping on a machine with an upper body component so you can engage even more muscles - and blast more fat. Can't find a machine that lets you pump your arms? Let go: some research suggests that leaning on machine armrests during exercise reduces calorie burning.

How to Buy a Cardio Machine

4. Your machine sounds like it’s going to take off.
If you can hear the purr of the machine while you’re exercising, it means that you’re going too fast without enough resistance - which means you're not getting the most calorie burn out of your time, Cassetty says. Keeping a steady, moderate pace at a resistance that forces you to use your muscles will get, and keep, your heart rate up.

Buzz Blabber: Top Model Fans Are Glad Angelea Didn't Win

BuzzSugar — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 05:30:00 PST

This week, the stories that got buzz readers talking the most were the America's Next Top Model finale and its winner twist, a refreshingly good episode of Glee and the adorable trailer for romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement. See the spirited comments below!

Viewers are glad Angelea didn't win America's Next Top Model

"I'm so glad Angelea was disqualified. All she did was cry on the show and when she wasn't doing that she was hating on everyone else. I'm so glad that Lisa won!! She was my favorite from the start." - awesomepants
"I always threaten it, but if Angelea would've won, I couldn't have watched the show ever again. I didn't think Lisa should've won either. She's a great personality, but Allison was the better model." - likethedirection
"Neither yes nor no. I wasn't so much Team Lisa as I was Team Anyone But Angelea. Lisa works hard and clearly knows a lot about modeling, so I'm not opposed to her win, but I liked Allison a lot as well." - smartblonde

6 Savvy Strategies From This Week's The Celebrity Apprentice

Diana Nguyen — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 09:35:19 PDT

It was another two hours of strategizing, scheming, and Star Jones-filled fun on The Celebrity Apprentice's latest episode, "Child's Play." We saw Jose Canseco dress up in drag - kind of - and Lisa Rinna outplayed and ejected from the board room; but what's more, we learned several savvy strategies to use in our normal, real-reality careers.

Don't get bullied into a leadership role. - The ladies on team A.S.A.P. are pretty darn cut-throat. They pressured Lisa into taking the project manager role because they (or at least Nene) wanted her ousted. What's the best way to get rid of a competitor? See her fall from above. If you're not ready to take charge, like Lisa, don't. Your failure could be exactly what your competitors want and may lead to your corporate extinction.

How to Eat Healthy When on the Go

Leta Shy — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:42:01 PDT

Eating on the go may not be the best option, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Sick of highly processed foods or other fattening options? Here are some suggestions for eating healthy on the go.

Don't be caught empty-handed: Make a habit of stashing your own snacks in your bag when you know you're going to be out for a long time. This way, you can control the portions and know exactly what you are eating. Make your own trail mix, stock up on protein bars, or grab a piece of fruit before you head out the door.
