On Our Radar: Cartier LoveCharity Bracelets

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 06:50:33 -0700

OMG I so want one of these! And I have a suspicion lots of you will too...To celebrate Cartier's second annual "LoveDay," the luxury goods company will announce its newest celebrity ambassadors for the Cartier "LoveCharity" bracelets. Last year, Cartier donated more than $1.2 million to eight global charities from the sales of the Love bracelet, and due to the enormous success, this year Cartier will celebrate with a new bracelet. Without further ado, here are the candy colored charity bracelets:

The new bracelet features an 18K white gold miniature bracelet graced with the word "Love" and accented with two signature screw motifs. It is set into a knotted silk cord available in various colors, with each cord designating support of a unique cause. The bracelet is $475 with $100 per bracelet benefiting its corresponding charity. Come June 8th, 10% of all sales from the collection will benefit the partnered organizations.

My faves are the blue bracelet, benefiting Sarah Jessica Parker for UNICEF, and the lavender bracelet, benefiting Julianne Moore for the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance - two of my favorite gals and two wonderful charities! Now here's a jewelry purchase you can justify!

With more colors and charities than I pictured here, the LoveCharity bracelets can be purchased at Cartier boutiques in the US & Canada and for more info visit Cartier.com.

Karlie Kloss Reveals Her Model BFFs, Spring Must Haves, and Nudity

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:50:22 -0700

When I spy a tall, thin, blonde slowly gliding down the runway, head slightly tilted down, eyes focused, staring, I know exactly who it is: American model Karlie Kloss. The 16-year-old, who has recently taken up blogging on Modelfeed, has an unparalleled presence; she's cute-as-a-button approachable and intensely mysterious at the same time. I chatted with the modeling sensation about how she was discovered, her model posse, and what she's wearing these days.

How were you discovered?

Doing a charity fashion show in a mall in St. Louis for a friend who was battling cancer.

Has your ballet dance experience helped you on the catwalk or with your stamina?

Ballet has helped me express myself on photo shoots, and on the catwalk gives me the confidence to move with the fabrics.

Do you ever get embarrassed or uncomfortable with the nudity that modeling demands?

I am still 16 so my agency won't allow me to do nudity of any sort.

To hear more from Karlie and to see more photos, read more.

What's your most embarrassing modeling experience?

Tripping on the runway after closing the Pucci show in Milan.

How do you pass the time waiting around for the action to begin?

I just talk to my girlfriends, and of course BlackBerry my agent Stephen, and eat cookies in the corner with the girls.

Do you have model friends? If so, who?

Yes, I have lots. Jourdan Dunn is a close friend. I love Karmen Pedaru, and Catherine McNeil is cool to bake stuff with; they both live in my building. Abbey Lee is always cool to hang out with.

Favorite photo shoot destination?

I always wanted to shoot in Disney World. Probably shooting British Vogue with Patrick Demarchelier in an island off Sweden.

What are your Spring must haves?

White t-shirts, jeans, and whatever trade the designers will be throwing my way.

I can't live without my_____.
Family, mom, dad, sisters, and puppy Joe.

Gwyneth Paltrow is giving us the GOOP on her latest endeavor: fashion design. That's right, people, the jack of all trades has teamed up with French jersey brand, Zoe Tee’s, to create a clothing line called Zoe Tee’s Loves Gwyneth Paltrow. "Gwyneth's style fits perfectly with the brand," said Laure Pariente, creative director of Zoe Tee's. "She knows how to mix basics and give jersey a stylish edge."

The collection, inspired by her own style, '70s rock glamour, and menswear, will include tees, dresses and leggings made out of cashmere blends, recycled cotton, and wool mesh. Interested? Gwyneth Paltrow for Zoe's Tees debuts in the Fall with a second collection to follow next Spring. All proceeds will be donated to Kids Company, a charity Paltrow selected.

The Bag to Have: Christopher Deane I Heart Bag

FabSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:00:22 -0800

We've all seen, and probably own, I Heart New York gear, but now it's time to proclaim our own love. With Valentine's Day right around the bend, there's no better time to get this Christopher Deane I Heart Bag ($25) for the object of your affection. At that price, you can afford to get one for yourself, too. Bust out a Sharpie and start professing your adoration, whether it's for a person, a pet, or a cause.

Oh, one more thing: 20 percent of its proceeds go to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, a nonprofit charity that plants fruit orchards to help serve communities. Xoxo.

On Our Radar: LC's Accessorizes Herself and Tells Us All About It!

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Miss BellaSugar had the chance to chat with leader of The Hills at a Mark cosmetics event this week . . . and you know she had my back! We got the scoop on Lauren Conrad's beauty secrets as well as her new accessories line in collaboration with Mark cosmetics. As you know, LC is a brand ambassador and the company is launching a campaign called m.Powerment, which aims to speak out against domestic violence. Right on. More news, Lauren is launching an accessories collection with Mark. Between her Lauren Conrad collection and her success with the show, Lauren is on the up and up. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the colorful printed dress she wore at this event is from her Holiday collection.

One item to note is the 'Have a Heart Necklace' that is (only) $22 and 100 percent of the proceeds go to charity. Here's what LC had to say about the special necklace:

“I collaborated with Mark in doing the ‘Have a Heart Necklace,’ which you have in front of you guys, and we are all wearing. They come in silver and gold, they are double-sided. They have the little stones on one side and the little heart on the back of the pendant. It retails for $22 and 100 percent of the profit goes to charity. It's basically the gist of the charity. It also comes with a little extender in the back so you can kinda adjust how long you want. It's also fun to layer with different pieces. It’s just a kind of an easy piece for people to wear.”

To read all about LC's accessory line and to see exclusive photos of the collection, read more

LC on her accessory line with Mark:

"We [Mark and LC] collaborated together and did a line of accessories and we had a lot of fun with it. Oh, and you all get all of this to take home with you. I’ll go through them real quick. We started with bangles because they are easy and they’re not going anywhere. But we did them in silver and gold and we added just a little splash of color; a bit of orange on these and blue on the silver. And then we did - this is actually my favorite piece we did - we did rings that kind of have a little bit of a stud on them all the way around. We did them in gold and silver and you can wear them alone, I stack mine with a little ring, or you can even stack them together. They are just kind of fun and unique. Then we did - these are a little more fun and cute - we did kind of like this costume jewelry look where we did two rings in gold and silver and we did different colors on them. But they are kind of fun to dress stuff up with. And we did the headband because I love headbands. We did a headband and you can either wear it as a normal headband or when your hair is up or down you can put it in and pull your hair over it and then it kind of looks like a little hair accessory in your hair.”

LC on upcoming projects:

“I’m working on a couple things but they are still on their early stages. Obviously I’m always involved with Mark and now with the new charity will make it a little bit more involved. There’s that. I have the clothing line, between that and the show are most of my time because we are filming four times a week plus I have at least two fittings a week plus you know what we are designing. So that’s just every day. And then, my social life. [Laughs]. Because we do a lot of events and then also I don’t have a stylist or anything so every event I go to I can never wear the same thing. So I have to stop and get something to wear.”

LC on styling herself:

"Yeah. That’s the fun part! They asked me if I wanted a stylist and I’m like, that’s the funnest part."

LC on the headgear in the collection

"We did the little cabbie hat, which comes in the black and brown, which are cute for Fall because all these are coming out in back to school. And then we did this set right here, we did it in blue, and black over there. Kind of the draped down hat, you don’t necessarily have to wear in the Fall because you can wear it with a tanktop and jeans and that will look cute. We did a matching scarf with it, which is a long scarf that you can wrap a few times and the gloves which are kind of similar to those knit gloves you wear which are shorter but they are kind of long and go up to about here (points to elbow), because I was recently traveling a lot and I have all these really great coats that cut off right here (at elbow). And they’re really cute but you go outside and you’re really cold so this was kind of a way to make that simple glove a little bit more elegant. And that’s it.”

But, that's not it. Lauren is very excited about her latest endeavor and I'm sure we'll see her modeling her goods around town. What do you think? Are these more or less exciting than her clothing collection? I like the rings - the chunky rhinestone one and studded gold one. As for pricing, they are from $14-$22 and will be available September 16th at meetmark.com. One thing is for sure: LC is on a roll and we can assume she has more fashion tricks up her 3/4-inch sleeves.

Battle of the Gucci: Newton vs. Lively

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:00:22 -0800

How much fun it must be to wear the designer's pick to a charity event benefiting a great cause like UNICEF. While the hostess, Rihanna, brought the mostess, a few other lovelies donned Gucci garb. Becki and Blake both wore looks from Gucci's dark, folksy Fall collection, and while the two have similar studded and embroidered embellishments, the silhouettes are vastly different. It comes down to your taste. Who wins?

Lindsay Lohan in Graphic Florals: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Along with many other celebs, Lindsay Lohan attended the 10th Annual Key to the Cure charity event in NYC. Unlike the ladies who wore dresses, however, the actress opted for pants. Specifically, her signature skin-tight leather leggings. There's a lot going on between the busy graphic print floral Matthew Williamson blouse, hot pink Louboutin booties (love these), and colorful necklace. Does it all come together neatly or is it a hot mess?

On Our Radar: Kate Moss Topshop Charity Tee

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:00:22 -0700

You gotta love a supermodel with a heart. Kate Moss has just added a special charity tee to her collection for Topshop. The top will be designed by Moss herself, with proceeds benefiting the Starlight Children's Foundation, which specializes in helping seriously ill children and their families.

Moss's goal is to raise £75,000 for the organization in order to grant an additional wish for a sick or terminally ill child every week for a year.
