Saks Fifth Avenue is now letting you live vicariously through your favorite style icons of decades past.

Madonna lovers can revel in acid bright in the '80s department, while Kate Moss wannabes can sift through '90s-inspired clothes. Find your favorite decade and shop accordingly!

Jennifer Lopez Nails the Winter Glamazon Look

Noria Morales — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:52:42 PST

No one can rock super-sexy, ultra-luxe, dripping-in-diamonds style quite like Jennifer Lopez, as evidenced by her recent round of street-style shots. In New York promoting her new show ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen, Jennifer has debuted cold-weather looks that solidify her status as an all-out glamour girl. The look is seriously decadent, but even by incorporating one element you can totally up your glamazon quotient. Follow these tips, then shop our widget for our favorite options.

Wear shades of Winter white and camel; an all-white look has a snowy beauty, while combining the two makes the look a bit more wearable for everyday.

If you don't want to try a fur jacket, opt for something with fur detail or a fur scarf (faux is fine).

Do wear diamonds, and they needn't be real: Winter layers can get drab, so even a bit of sparkle brings a bit of lightness - and a lot of luxury - to any look.

Don't forget oversized sunglasses! It's one of Jennifer's signature accessories, and while she might be protecting her eyes from paparazzi, it's just as important to protect your eyes from surprisingly strong Winter sun.

5 Unbelievably Bad Fast-Food Breakfasts

Prevention — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:06:39 PST

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

By Molly Raisch, Prevention

Mom always said, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” And she was right. Morning meals are essential to revving your metabolism and kick-starting your calorie burn, but indulging in a fat- and calorie-laden breakfast from your favorite fast-food chain could easily send you into sugar shock and pack on the pounds. Research shows that people who ate a big morning meal consumed an extra 400 calories per day, setting themselves up for muffin tops and pancake bottoms. Here are six breakfast drive-through disasters and their Prevention-approved healthier, make-at-home options.

Fifty Simple Strategies to Lose 10 Pounds

Starbucks® Zucchini-Walnut Muffin
Muffins are calorie sinkholes - they pack in the calories but somehow still leave your stomach grumbling. This muffin from Starbucks® seems healthy enough, boasting both zucchini and walnuts, but don’t be fooled by its veggie-based name. This morning baked good has close to 500 calories and 28 grams of fat.

Try Instead: Zucchini-Raisin Muffin
These scrumptious zucchini muffins are half the calories and nearly a third of the fat as their coffeehouse counterparts. Tricks of the trade: Load up your bread batter with tons of zucchini shreds and add raisins for a touch of natural sweetness.

Ten Breakfasts For Glowing Skin

McDonald’s Big Breakfast® With Hotcakes
When your breakfast comes off a fast-food menu and has the word “big” in it, your waistline is headed in the same direction. This hearty breakfast has scrambled eggs, sausage, a buttermilk biscuit, hash browns, and two hotcakes piled onto a plate, making it no surprise that one order accounts for over half your day’s calories and over 55 grams of fat. The worst part? This lumberjack breakfast is sky-high in sodium: 2,150 milligrams.

Try Instead: Pancakes With Berries and Cinnamon
Satisfy your hotcake cravings with these light and fluffy low-cal flapjacks. The secret to cutting fat and calories without losing any buttery flavor: bake them in the oven. Top with berries and cinnamon, and you’ve got a mouthwatering, guilt-free pancake breakfast the whole family will love.

Tour Jewelry Designer Jennifer Fisher's Edgy but Kid-Friendly NYC Pad

CasaSugar — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:00:52 PST

Jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher's interior design style reflects the casual edge for which her jewelry line is known. A native of Santa Barbara, CA, Jennifer began her fashion career working bicoastal, wardrobe-styling gigs for feature films, television shows, and commercials. With a new husband and a decade of fashion cred under her belt, she decided to move to New York City to raise a family and open the next chapter of her career.

After giving birth to their first child, Shane, Jennifer wanted a personalized piece of jewelry to celebrate their new baby boy, but couldn't find anything on the market that was unique or versatile enough. So, she decided to design her own piece of jewelry and the rest was history. Today, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry is worn by celebrity moms like Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow. Her jewelry has also been worn in feature films and television shows like Sex and the City the Movie, Entourage, The Hills, The L Word, and Gossip Girl, among others.

Take a peek inside the North Tribeca apartment Jennifer shares with her husband and two children. Find out why NYC is a great place to raise a family, which home decor shops she can't live without, and her secrets for creating a hip, modern space for a family on the go!

Stepping Into a Sunset: Pink and Gold Decor

CasaSugar — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:00:18 PST

I love the warmth and decadence of a room filled with sunset-inspired colors. Depending on the light, you can spot shades ranging from soft lavender to fiery orange, but my favorite duo from this palette is pink and gold. Kelly Wearstler executes this look flawlessly in her office, pictured above. It's feminine but not too sweet and is filled with bold design statements and exotic accessories.

I found some decorative pieces that fit the vibe perfectly. This overdyed Aquasilk Rug ($10,100, bottom, left) features an ikat design made from recycled Indian silk Saris. The range of saturated colors would be such an amazing foundation for a room.

This set of four Fuschia & Gold Lowball Glasses ($50, center, right) have vintage and ethnic appeal, which helps to make a room feel a bit more eclectic. I'd set these out on a round tray made from beautiful wood to play up the Moroccan vibe.

Click on the rest of these pieces to shop directly for a sunset room of your own!
