A Fabby Halloween: Wild Thing

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:00:22 PDT

Every little kid, and big kid, is excited for Spike Jonze's film adaption of the endearing book Where The Wild Things Are. Opening Ceremony may possibly be the most stoked, its Wild Thing collection is awesome. The film releases soon - Oct. 16 - and I realized it's an easy, adorable, fabulously fuzzy Halloween idea. You may already have some furry boots or a fur vest, and really, the furrier the better. Add some spiked jewelry and tribal touches and go wild.

Get ready for lots more Halloween ideas as my Fabby Halloween series '09 takes off. Join my A Fabby Halloween group where we can share ideas, photos, and revel in Halloween happiness.

Celebrity Style: Diane Kruger

FabSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:20:22 PDT

In case you haven't heard, I absolutely adore Diane Kruger. Any opportunity to feature her is more than fine by me, and that's why I was thrilled to see her looking stunning, as usual, at the Cartier Polo Day. That eggplant hue really suits her and gives her an air of sophistication that most Hollywooders lack. Her use of black accessories, especially the patent leather belt, are understated yet sleek. And that other accessory - her man, Joshua Jackson - isn't bad either!

Biggest Travel Bargains to Consider This Summer

Emily Co — Thu, 24 May 2012 10:16:50 PDT

If you're planning a Summer trip this year and the high prices are getting you down, don't fret, there are a couple of travel bargains you can take advantage of. SavvySugar talked to travel expert, AirFare Watchdog's Founder George Hobica, for the scoop on the best airfare deals to find this Summer.

Berlin

If you're jonesing to go to Europe but are holding back because of the inflated prices, Berlin would be an ideal getaway. The new Berlin airport (code BER) has been having a lot of great fares, according to Hobica. One reason being lower airport fees and taxes in addition to the airport being a brand-new one. Peak Summer round-trip fares from New York to Berlin are about $650 including taxes, a bargain compared with round trip prices for up to $1600 or $1800 for other European destinations. "Consumers should realize that even if Berlin isn't in their travel plans, easyJet flies between Berlin and, say, Paris for 64 euros round-trip including tax. So one could fly to Berlin, spend a couple of days exploring the city, and then head off to other European destinations cheaply," says the airfare expert.

Spain

If Berlin isn't for you, flights to Spain are generally cheaper compared to the other European countries, says the travel expert. That's partly due to the lower airport fees and taxes.

Featured in the Spring 2012 issue of New York Magazine, indie actress Chloë Sevigny's East Village garden co-op is filled with expectedly quirky yet surprisingly traditional decor pieces. The result is a slightly off-kilter but decidedly cozy home you can't help but be inspired by. Designed by store owner and interior designer David Cafiero, there are moments of electric color, an assortment of Catholic references, curiously positioned mirrors, and everything else you might imagine Chloë's home to be filled with. We took notice of the boldest and chicest design choices from each of the featured rooms and scoured the market for pieces that captured the vibe of Chloë's quirky casa.

Easy Ways to Green Your Fitness and Daily Routine

Fitness Magazine — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:38:43 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Fitness Magazine here on FitSugar!

You carry your own water bottle, use a reusable shopping bag, and sort your recyclables from the trash. Here are more easy ways to green your daily routine without thinking about it.

Choose Wisely

Look for eco-friendly companies when shopping for workout clothes and gear. Gaiam, Patagonia, and GoLite are just a few of the companies that use organic fibers in their clothing and accessories. Green your yoga session by investing in a mat made from sustainable ingredients, like Manduka's eKO Mat.

Reuse Old Fitness Gear

If you've Downward Dogged your yoga mat into tatters or have equipment from your days of being in the neighborhood soccer league, blow off the dust bunnies for a cause. Bring new life to your old gear through these programs.

Recycle Your Mat: Send your old mat (or drop it off at a participating location), and this company will work with other organizations to find creative new uses for it.

Sports Gift: Organize a collection in your neighborhood, school, or office for old gear like soccer balls, tennis rackets, and athletic shoes, and this nonprofit will ship them to underprivileged children worldwide, so they can enjoy sports too.

Reuse-a-Shoe: Donate worn sneakers to Nike's Reuse-a-Shoe program, and they'll turn your pair into material for playgrounds and other Nike products. Find a drop-off location or start your own shoe drive at Nikereuseashoe.com.

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "Big Brother"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 07:43:14 PDT

Glee is back after its break and the cliff-hanger of Quinn's accident, and we see what happens with her and whether Rachel and Finn went through with their wedding. We also get to meet Blaine's impossibly good-looking brother Cooper (guest star Matt Bomer), and though everyone else seems to be entranced with him, his visit makes Blaine confront their relationship issues.

We've been waiting a while for the show to come back, and aside from learning about Quinn's state, not much happens. It also kind of feels like an excuse to showcase Matt Bomer's singing and dancing abilities . . . which I actually have no problem with. Let's break down his performances and the other highlights after the jump.
