What's Inside Lindsay Lohan's Massive YSL Bag?

FabSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:00:22 PDT

All weekend I tried to shake this image: Lindsay Lohan with a huge Yves Saint Laurent shopping bag. Yes, I am jealous, but I'm also darn curious. I am a devoted shopper and therefore always like to know what other people purchase. It's exciting. That said, my imagination ran wild trying to imagine what Lindsay bought. Rest assured, she wore her new red YSL platforms the next day. I knew she got shoes! If she got a bag, I may be hatin'.

Here's the fun part. I tried to imagine what I would buy if I could afford a YSL shopping spree. You may remember what Team Fab and PartySugar bought when the house's founder passed away. The Fall collection is razor-sharp and already arriving in stores. A couple gorgeous bags, a couple enviable shoes, and some not-so-basic basics would be my picks of the litter.

To see my YSL wish list,

Into the Wild: Celebs Make a Case For Summer-Styled Leopard Prints

Hannah Weil — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:55:16 PDT

At this point, leopard print has become a mainstay in our wardrobes, but that doesn't mean it can't get a bit of a makeover with the arrival of a new season. In light of Summer weather, we're embracing leopard print with a breezier tilt - just the way this styled celebrity trio is wearing it. In cool printed pants Beyoncé gives the exotic print a decidedly easy feel, while Ashley Madekwe injects her seasonal ensemble with an animal-printed accent piece via her Mulberry bag; and Krysten Ritter shows us just how sweet the pattern can feel on a '90s-style babydoll frock that's perfect for everyday. In any case, the key is relaxed silhouettes and lighter fabrics that deliver a cool-girl punch of print without overpowering your look. Loving the look?

J Lo and Casper Are Loved Up During a Sunday Shopping Trip

Lauren Turner — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:33:42 PDT

Jennifer Lopez and her boyfriend, Casper Smart, held hands while shopping at The Grove in LA yesterday. They stopped by Zara and left with two large bags stuffed with goodies. The sunny afternoon came during a break from J Lo's busy schedule juggling her American Idol judging duties and dance rehearsals for her upcoming tour. She recently took time out to meet our I'm a Huge Fan winner, though, and opened up about life with her kids in an interview with our winner. If you haven't seen the series, make sure to check out all the I'm a Huge Fan: Jennifer Lopez episodes now.

It was an extra exciting weekend for J Lo since she also had the opening of What to Expect When You're Expecting. The movie had a solid opening at the box office but was no match for action movies The Avengers and Battleship.

Easy Ways to Get More From Your Food Budget

LearnVest — Fri, 18 May 2012 05:15:48 PDT

Go the extra mile with your food budget with these tips from LearnVest.

For years, many people - my husband, mom, sister and even my son - told me to stop wasting so much food.

Throwing away half a piece of chicken here or a handful of grapes there never seemed like such a big deal to me. If I was full or no longer in the mood for that particular food, then I had no problem tossing it.

That is, until I experienced a bad case of sticker shock during a recent trip to the supermarket. The cost of bread, eggs, fish - basically everything I was purchasing - had increased. And, according to the USDA, we can expect prices to rise even higher this year.

As I forked over my money and left with only a handful of bags, I realized just how important it is for me to pay more attention to what I spend on food . . . and to confront how much of it I shove down the garbage disposal.

Unfortunately, I'm not the only one with wasteful ways. In 2010, 33 million tons of food was thrown away, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. Obviously, wasted food means wasted money, but figuring out how to make your grocery budget go further can be a challenge.

To keep more food in your fridge (and more money in your pocket), try these expert tips.

1. Ward Against Freezer Burn

Those large bags or packages of frozen veggies or meat come in handy when you have a large family, but "each time you open a bag of frozen food, air gets in and will cause freezer burn within two to three weeks," says consumer saving expert Andrea Woroch. Freezer burn will dry out the meat and make it less tasty. Woroch suggests going small.
