Sarah Jessica Parker Reveals More Details on Covet

BellaSugar — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:18:15 PDT

This month's issue of Elle features Sarah Jessica Parker and how she's become not just a celebrity, but also a brilliant businesswoman. In the story, SJP talks about Covet, her new fragrance:

"I know this about me: I will only do something that I can completely and utterly, for better or worse, take the credit, take the blame for, 100 percent," she says. Indeed, the bigwigs at Coty seem bemused by just how deeply she plunged herself into her two fragrances-two-year-old Lovely and, new this month, Covet-obsessing over everything from the herringbone-pattern box to the ultraspecific note of geranium in the scent itself ("I like that the plant was pulled from the earth, so you smell all the green of the sand and the dirt, and just a little bit of those petals on the bottom," Parker says).

To see a gallery of the ad campaign, plus pictures of the jewel-inspired packaging,

Covet is starting to roll out into Macy's stores already, but it isn't yet available online. The scent is supposed to be fresh and earthy, but like Sarah Jessica herself, it's in a classy-not-hippie manner. Did you like Lovely? Are you going to buy Covet when it's out? And what do you think about the ads and packaging, below? Source

The Coolest Hue of Blue Jean For Summer

Noria Morales — Tue, 29 May 2012 04:00:00 PDT

If you haven't jumped on the colored-jean train yet, never fear - it's still going, and right now would be an ideal time to join. Our favorite find might be these bluer-than-the-Caribbean-Sea jeans by THVM - pronounced "them"- that come in at a cool $130. What we love about them: they're a higher rise, great for tucking in a little tank just like the model in the picture; the two-tone twill has spandex for some sweet stretch; and they've got a superlong inseam, which is great for heels, but even better for cuffing.

Traditionally, the bride and groom share gifts to celebrate their marriage - and for those of you who plan to marry a fellow geek, we've gathered some original, thoughtful present ideas to help you check off one more to-do. Here are 10 creative options for your geeky groom, whether he's a lifelong gaming nerd or an enthusiastic amateur photographer:

Signed paraphernalia: Whether it's a movie poster for a film he's seen a hundred times (ahem, Star Wars) or the jacket of a book by his favorite author (Douglas Adams perhaps?), a signed item can make for a personal, unexpected gift he may not think to buy himself.
High-tech fitness gear: If your groom likes to stay fit, give the Nike+ Fuelband ($149) to help him monitor his fitness. Even better? He'll love the competitive challenge that comes from the system's gamelike point system.
Photography software: The latest Photoshop package might not seem like the most romantic gift option, but it's a product he'll use again and again. Plus what better way to ensure the most gorgeous honeymoon photos?
Computer accessories: From cool wireless equipment to handy photo printers, new computer tools are a practical idea for a groom that's always glued to his laptop.

Look of the Day: Pleats and Ruffles

Laura Marie Given — Tue, 29 May 2012 03:00:16 PDT

Wearing classic separates with a twist, Fab reader apopofpurple showed that a black-and-white color palette can be anything but boring. She tucked a crisp white button-down blouse into a black pleated mini worn at the waist. The ruffled, ladylike collar offset the extra volume of her skirt to create a balanced, proportional silhouette. Sticking with the classic-meets-trendy style, she opted for black lace-up ankle booties and big, retro-inspired sunglasses, then topped off the look with one simple accessory: a statement cocktail ring. Love her style? Make the smart, sharp outfit work year-round with a pair of opaque black tights.

Congrats, apopofpurple!

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

Emma Stone Returns to LA While Moviegoers Get an Extended Look at Spider-Man

Kimberly Timlick — Tue, 29 May 2012 02:22:07 PDT

Emma Stone touched down at LAX on Friday night. Emma's returning to the West Coast prior to Sunday's MTV Movie Awards. It's sure to be a big night for Emma, who is nominated in four categories for Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Help, and is also the first actress to be honored with the trailblazer award. Emma and her Amazing Spider-Man costar and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield are also among the list of this year's presenters. Emma and Andrew will join Kristen Stewart, Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, and other major movie stars who are expected to hand out golden popcorn statues. Andrew and Emma are inching closer to the July release of their film, though lucky moviegoers who purchased a ticket to see Men in Black 3 in IMAX 3D got a six-minute sneak peek of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Game of Thrones' "Blackwater": What We're Still Talking About

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 28 May 2012 17:44:02 PDT

War ain't coming to Game of Thrones - war is here. This week, the Lannisters each deal with the attack on King's Landing in their own way: Joffrey tucks his tail between his legs, Tyrion rallies the troops, and Cersei gets drunk. The episode only shows us what's happening in King's Landing, and though we don't get to see any Jon Snow, Robb Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, or Arya Stark, it doesn't feel lacking to me in any way. In fact, it's one of my favorite episodes this season.

There's only one more episode left in season two, and I'm wondering just how intense next week will be, because this week is crazy. I'm ready to chat about what I'm still thinking about from "Blackwater," so if you're ready to relive it, just keep reading.

4 Ways to Get Your Yoga on - No Mat Required!

Jenny Sugar — Mon, 28 May 2012 14:24:00 PDT

Traditionally yoga is done on the floor, but your mat isn't the only place you can stretch, strengthen, and calm your body and mind. Since yoga's burst in popularity, people have figured out ways to incorporate basic yoga poses into other forms of movement and fitness. If you're a fan of practicing on your mat, check out these four exciting ways to deepen your love affair with yoga.

Paddleboard Yoga
If you love being on the water, try a Paddleboard Yoga class. Instead of Down Dogging on a mat, you're balancing on a board that's drifting along the surface of the water. Sounds tough? Well, it is, but that's what makes it fun. During your first few classes, you'll probably spend more time plummeting into the water than staying upright on your board, but with practice, you'll develop the core strength, stability, and concentration to do an entire practice while staying dry.

Aerial Yoga
Yoga is special on its own, but combine it with a hanging fabric trapeze, and it becomes magical. Doing yoga poses when the weight of your body is supported in the air not only feels freeing, but it helps with correct alignment and enhances the peaceful and calm feeling you love from traditional yoga. This type of yoga is a great way to approach intimidating poses like inversions or back bends, and the power of gravity allows for deeper muscle releases than you can achieve on the ground.
