Glitterati: UnEarthed

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 03:30:33 PDT

UnEarthed, by sisters Gina and Karen Koenig, is a result of a mutual love of fashion, art and leathercraft. All three elements are evidenced in the sophisticated-cum-edgy collection of cuffs, earrings and bangles. The duo vowed never to use embossed leathers and imitation skins, so everything you see is made of real crocodile, alligator and snake skin, even this Plum Snakeskin Silver Cuff, $33. The color is obtained by a dye and the slick sheen by hand polishing. Just the perfect accessories for a Wild Thing!

Kate Middleton Shows Off Two Brilliant Peplum Looks - See Every Fashion Angle

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:34:32 PDT

Just days before celebrating her wedding anniversary to Prince William, Kate Middleton showed off her fashion savvy in Spring's hottest trend, wearing not one, but two brilliant peplum looks. Yesterday, Kate wore a dove gray peplum dress adorned with gorgeous beading embellishments by Matthew Williamson, paired with dark green suede pumps and a matching clutch at the UK premiere of African Cats. Kate then switched out of her fancy dress for a prim two-piece tweed suit by Rebecca Taylor for a royal reception at the Goldsmiths Hall in London honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole. We love how anyone can wear this look just as easily to the office. Meanwhile, blue suede pumps and an Anya Hindmarch snake skin clutch finish off her ensemble. Just click through to see more close-up shots from both of her peplum-fied looks and tell us which is your favorite in the comments section below.

Avoid Common Trail Running Dangers With These Tips

Jenny Sugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:19:20 PDT

Running on trails can offer a much better workout than the gym treadmill. You'll burn more calories propelling your own body weight forward rather than relying on the treadmill belt. All those natural hills tone your legs, build endurance, and can make you a faster runner. Plus, the gorgeous scenery and dodging all the puddles and fallen limbs make running more exciting, which might inspire you to run more often and for longer distances. That said, there are some risks to hitting the trails, and here's how to avoid them.

Bugs, bears, and other creatures: Being one with nature may mean getting a little more up close and personal than you'd like. Bugs like mosquitoes and ticks, although annoying, can be avoided with a little bug spray and by wearing lightweight long-sleeve shirts and pants to cover your skin. Bears, wolves, and venomous snakes, on the other hand, I'd rather not have to deal with. Talk to fellow runners and those that maintain nearby trails to find out which areas are safe from wild animals.
Human predators: Unfortunately, furry animals aren't the only thing you need to worry about. Always run with a buddy, bring your dog for extra protection, carry a cell phone and ID on you, and if it'll make you feel safer, take along pepper spray.

The easy-to-replicate look helps pregnant mamas show off their shape without having to wear skin-tight clothes.
