Love It or Hate It? Teen Girl's Bathroom

CasaSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

Interior designer Nancy Van Natta created a Plexiglas and glass panel of a teenage girl for a bathroom featured at the 2009 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. It's definitely a fun touch for a teen's bathroom, but I can't see this element having staying power beyond a year or two.

Stemless Wine Glasses: Love Them or Hate Them?

YumSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:00:48 -0800

In recent years, stemless wine glasses have really seemed to gain traction in the marketplace, and the leading stemless wine glass maker, Riedel, even releases limited-edition versions of its wildly popular stemless styles.

But yesterday, San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Michael Bauer questioned the functionality of stemless wine glasses, pointing out that wine poured in stemless wine glasses measured three degrees warmer than the same wine poured in a stemmed glass - a significant difference in temperature when it comes to the enjoyment of wine.

So dramatic, I couldn't resist. Rihanna showed up at Glamour magazine's 2009 Women of the Year event in NYC in a dramatic pleated ivory Stéphane Rolland Couture gown and Cartier jewels. It's one of those only she can pull off, and I believe she does. Do you?

Love It or Hate It? Cardboard Fireplace

CasaSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:00:50 -0800

I spotted this Cardboard Fireplace ($24) at Urban Outfitters and I kind of love it. For one, the bricks remind me of the cardboard bricks I used to play with when I was a kid. And two, I love a good faux fireplace - my "crackling fire" DVD plays on repeat in the Winter. But I do wish this fireplace had a prettier mantel, like a white one with ornate moldings. What do you think?

Love it or Hate it: Kristen Stewart on the New Moon Tour

Kristen Stewart made an appearance on the New Moon tour yesterday in Los Angeles. The Twilight star looked unusually dressed up for the performance in a strapless LBD, tuxedo jacket and zip back heels. Earlier in the week, I shared Kristen's Harper's Bazaar look with you where she wore an Alexander McQueen gown. I am enjoying seeing her looking so glamorous and chic, what do you think of this ensemble?

Thanksgiving: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:00:01 -0800

I'm an avid and advanced home cook. I'm passionate about food. I entertain at least twice a month. I even find the act of chopping wildly relaxing. Now that you know these things about me, you won't be surprised to learn that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I love everything about Thanksgiving from the planning to the turkey to the tablescape. While I'd like to think my enthusiasm for the third Thursday in November is contagious, there are some people who simply don't enjoy Thanksgiving. How do you feel about it?

Anna Sui for FitFlop: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:25:22 -0800

I admit, I was never a fan of FitFlops, but now that the brand has enlisted Anna Sui to design a line of cozy boots, I might reconsider. FitFlop - known for designing footwear that's biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten your leg muscles while you walk in them - has collaborated with the bohemian designer to create these Shakoha Shearling Boots ($290). The line will be exclusively available at Net-A-Porter.com on Nov.11 and ShopIntuition.com starting Nov. 20. Are you loving them?

Love It or Hate It? Amy's Faux Freckles and Plump Pout

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

It's not just Hollywood starlets like Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan who have dabbled in a little lip filler, it looks like the UK's very own Amy Winehouse has added a bit of enhancer to her kisser (unless that's just a whole lotta lip liner)! Full lips are enviable, as we've all seen on naturally blessed stars like Brigitte Bardot and Angelina Jolie, but Amy has taken things one step further by drawing in freckles along the bridge of her nose. How do you feel about her lush lips and fake beauty marks?

2009 MTV Europe Music Awards: Shakira

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:04:16 -0800

Spicy Latina singer, Shakira rocked the red carpet with stick straight hair extensions secured neatly in a ponytail. I've noticed that she's been changing her hair around quite a bit lately, whereas we used to see with au natural curls wherever, whenever (hee hee). What do you think of Shakira's polished makeup and slick hairstyle tonight?

Eva Mendes Shines in Chris Benz Paillettes: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

Paillette alert! Eva Mendes attended the Hollywood screening of The Bad Lieutenant wearing a Chris Benz multicolored, plunging paillette dress from his Spring '10 collection and Brian Atwood pumps. The dress is definitely eye-catching - different than what we're used to seeing her in. A few sparkles would do her good, but all-over paillettes are slightly overwhelming. And this coming from a gal who loves shine. What's your opinion?
