FabSugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:20:22 PDT

I'm a California girl, so you can't blame me for having a favorite surf shop - especially when my favorite surf shop is having a crazy sale! Swell stocks all your go-to surf brands: Roxy, Billabong, O'Neill...and through July 4th, all their dresses, shorts, accessories are marked way down! (And you don't have to be a serious surfer chick to wear them, I promise.)

This Billabong Stella Dress caught my eye because I love the coral color, and its Grecian-like shape! It would be a way cute cover-up or just good for staying cool in the heat. Plus, it's on sale for $19.99 (originally $44). Shaka bra!

Stay Connected During Holiday Travel With These Free WiFi Sources

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 04:46:00 PST

Heading out of town for the holidays doesn't mean you have to give up on checking your emails, surfing your favorite websites, or watching your shows on Hulu. If you're on the go, keep an eye out for these six places that offer free WiFi connections (and one big safety warning to go along with it).

The Big Apple - New York City and AT&T partnered up to launch free WiFi service at 20 city parks across all five boroughs. While we'd like to imagine park goers enjoying computer-less moments, free park WiFi is a great excuse to "work from home." Just wear a coat while you're out.
Airports - Kayak created a handy guide of WiFi at US airports, noting which airports provide free and secure WiFi.
The golden arches - In most major cities it'd be difficult to not pass a steady stream of McDonald's, Starbucks, and other big name restaurants. Many of these chains offer free WiFi, putting the "value" in value meal.
Starbucks - Grab a cuppa Joe and some free Internet while you're at it. You can pretty much find a Starbucks on every block in big cities, and there are plenty to go around in smaller towns and airports as well.
The library - Oh, forgot about the library since you have a fancy pants ereader now? Well, if you're ever in need of a quick connection, head to your local library branch. If they don't have WiFi, they'll certainly have computers for you to log in.
Your hotel - You may have to fork over the dough to get online in some cases, but free WiFi is becoming a welcome perk at some hotels and hotel chains. Call ahead to see if your hotel offers free connections, and if not, the concierge should be able to direct you to a generous neighborhood coffee shop or bar with a free signal.
But remember, safety first! - Just as leaving your home network open and unprotected with a password can be dangerous, so is piggybacking on an unsecured WiFi signal in a public area, so steer clear of wireless networks labeled "Free Public WiFi," which can be dangerous if used. Hackers can create fake networks in hopes of stealing your personal information. Don't let them get away with it that easily!

Perfect tans; salt-soaked, natural waves; and cool, sporty suits. No wonder we all covet the classic wave-rider aesthetic.

Whether it's a fashion-meets-function rashguard, neoprene beach bag, or a pair of boho-cool woven wedges, effortless surf style is easy to attain. For all of you beach babes having neoprene dreams this Summer, here are 10 great pieces that will help you capture the ultimate surfer-girl style.

Victoria Beckham Takes Baby Harper Shopping and Nabs a British Fashion Awards Nomination!

Katie Henry — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 14:12:52 PDT

Victoria Beckham packed up the car with the kids and headed to The Grove in LA on Sunday. It was Victoria's second outing with two-month-old Harper in less than a week. Big brothers Romeo, Cruz, and Brooklyn took a break from their daily surfing sessions with David and accompanied the girls on the trip to the mall. The group of five went to the movies then dropped in at the Apple store. Posh also reportedly browsed at the baby boutiques, either shopping for Harper or getting a present for her fellow Spice Girl Mel B's five-day-old daughter. Victoria got more exciting news this morning - she was nominated for a British Fashion Award, with her Victoria Beckham Collection going up against Burberry, Stella McCartney and Tom Ford for designer brand of the year.

David was absent for the latest retail adventure. The dad of four left town in order to play in yesterday's match in Kansas City against their Sporting team. The LA Galaxy tied Kansas 2-2, but David and his squad will have a chance to redeem themselves on Friday when they play at home against the Colorado Rapids. Victoria's missed out on David's most recent games, but Cruz, Romeo, and Brooklyn have cheered for David recently with family friend Gordon Ramsay.

How to Make an Hour of Exercise Fly By

Jenny Sugar — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 02:33:53 PDT

Reese Witherspoon has said that she tries to exercise every day. "I like to run for about an hour and I'm big into working out with girlfriends. It's an acquired skill, being able to discuss your love life, children and friends - all while you're running! But we have mastered it." Gabbing with your friends is an awesome way to make the time fly. You get your cardio and therapy session all at once. Here are some more ways to make an hour of exercise feel like nothing.

Change Things Up - Just like Reese, do something super active or challenging that's not repetitive. Surfing, rock climbing, or an ashtanga yoga class require so much movement, balance, and concentration that you're too busy moving your body to think about how much time has passed.

Keep reading to find out what else you can do to make exercise time fly.
