Trend Alert: Knock on Wood

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:00:22 PDT

Knock on wood. But this time, try it with your feet instead of your knuckles. Sound awkward? But it looks so good. Wooden heels meld together sophistication and sass.

A wooden heel gives off a nonchalant attitude, while the sleek design puts your manner in check. Thanks to the elevated platform and absorbent heels, these platforms are fairly comfortable and easy to walk in.

Roberto Cavalli Wooden Wedge Sandals: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:00:22 PDT

Color me crazy, but I fancy these Roberto Cavalli Wooden Wedge Sandals ($1,850). The outrageously high heel reminds me of my favorite Disney character, Minnie Mouse, and the spur heels are fierce - eccentric glamour defined.

Trend Alert: Knock On Wood

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 09:00:22 PDT

Wooden heels are a Summer cult classic that will never go out of style. The retro staple is back with an avant-garde twist and has reinvented itself with a fun juxtaposition of organic and modern architecture. There are oodles of ways to wear this trend so have fun!

Don't Wake the Neighbors! Apartment-Approved Cardio

Anna Monette Roberts — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:31:23 PDT

Living in a tight-spaced apartment with creaky wooden floors pretty much rules out large movements or foot-stomping cardio workouts. However, with Winter storms brewing, at-home workouts may be on the rise. Put away the Zumba and floor-shaking DVDs, and opt for these three cardio workouts instead; you can do each workout indoors without disturbing a soul - your downstairs neighbors will thank you.

Yoga at home: Baron Baptiste is a great Vinyasa yoga instructor, and his books Journey Into Power ($12) and 40 Days to Personal Revolution ($12) offer heart-pumping sequences and pictures of correct alignment. If you stick to his regimen (each sequence is between 20-60 minutes), you'll enjoy a great yoga workout and may even master advanced poses that you never thought possible in a public class.

See more apartment cardio exercises!

Check Out Loeffler Randall's Pretty Spring '12 Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:20:36 PDT

We might be in the midst of Fall weather, but that shouldn't stop you from checking out Loeffler Randall's covetable Spring '12 collection. The line shows pretty colors, cute prints, and flattering silhouettes ranging from small wedge rose-hued strappy sandals, perfect for running errands around town, to dressier printed pumps and platform styles. The best part? Designer Jessie Randall told us she created the collection with comfort in mind; most heels are around three inches tall and some even feature comfy hidden platforms in the front. Warm weather might be awhile away, but we can already picture her cute shoes with our printed dresses and rolled-cuff jeans. We dish on our favorite pairs below:

We can't wait to wear these nude polka-dot wedges with our chambray tops and floral dresses.
These bottle green pumps have the coolest texture and a comfy wooden heel.
The scuba-like detailing on these sporty-meets-chic sandals is so cute. We'd wear them with polished shorts and a slouched tee come Spring.

Now check out the rest of the collection in the slideshow!

Making the Most of Your Tiny Desk

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:40:00 PDT

Whether you're in the process of sprucing up a small office or you're about to head off to college, having a comfortable work space at your home base is integral. We all know there's nothing worse than being stressed when you're on the heels of a huge project or you're trying to cram the night before a big exam, and clutter on your desk only creates more stress. You may be glued to your desk at your day job, or if you're a college-aged kid, you may be planning to live at the library, but having a space to work from home, regardless of size, can make your life far easier.

For all the working women, I love this Sort and the City Desk Organizer ($30). It's a great way to keep files together, and I love the wooden cosmopolitan scene. Its unassuming color would be a great addition to any desk. For the collegiate ladies out there, I'm a huge fan of the USB Tulip Hub ($22). These little guys will be your best friend at the library when you're working on a paper or preparing to print. Instead of a boring design, mix it up with this portal pot of tulips.

You may be tempted to fill up that desk with tchotchkes, trinkets, and a million framed photos, but take a step back and re-examine the scenario. Instead of the cluttered chaos, choose practical office accessories with flair!
