Casa Quickie: Scotchguard Your Whites

CasaSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:15:39 -0800

Keeping your whites white is a never-ending task, whether you're talking teeth, tennis, or anything, really. When upholstery is the task at hand, Scotchguard can be your saving grace. The product repels liquids and blocks stains, pushing spills away from your fabric so that marks come out easily when washed. It's a great product to use on high-traffic spots like your sofa and chair cushions and arm rests. In most cases, you'll just have to vacuum the dirt off, and give it an occasional wash or spot clean if you've had a big spill. But before you spray it, make sure your upholstery fabric is cotton, wool, silk, polyester or nylon - it can cause bleeding on materials like suede, plastic, or vinyl. If you own a plastic sofa though, I think you've got bigger problems on your hands!

LG Unveils Its First-Ever Netbook

GeekSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:44:41 -0800

I'm sensing a trend here. Just recently we heard about Dell computers developing an Android handset, and now LG Electronics - a company mainly known for its cell phones and televisions - has sexy new slim portable hard drives and its first-ever netbook! Note to self: companies are branching out into all gadget areas!

The LG X120 has already debuted in other countries, but it's said to be making its way to the US before the holidays. What's so great about this netbook compared to all of the others on the market? Well, it only weighs 2.8lbs (which is on the lighter scale of netbooks), it features a 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch screen, LED backlighting, and it comes in stylish white. Not to mention, it fits most budgets, coming in at $180 with a 2-year AT&T data plan.

Desire/Acquire: Ferm Living Treebomb Pillow

I absolutely love the Ferm Living Silk Treebomb Pillow ($110). It's really eye-catching and has an ethereal, wintry quality that's just plain dreamy. But, as much as I think sometimes it's worth it to spend upwards of $100 on a pillow, I'm still wary of it because I've seen so many equally arresting designs at more palatable prices. Turns out, there's a pillow that's a near twin to this one, that'll require much less penny pinching. Want to see it?

Match the Celeb With the Cell Phone

Not too long ago, we saw this famous female with a black BlackBerry Bold, and now she seems to have upgraded to a white one! It certainly suits her unique sense of style, and I personally prefer the white one as well - it's just sassier! Have you figured out who it is? Scroll down to take a guess!

Roundup: Curvy, White Table Lamps

CasaSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 06:15:05 -0700

Every time I watch Modern Family, I always pay attention to the decor choices used throughout the three families' homes. It's no big surprise that Cameron and Mitchell's home is my favorite, since I featured it the other week.

I really love this curvy, white table lamp that they've placed on the credenza, which you can spot in the right of this photo. The feminine lines and alabaster surface manage to blend in perfectly with the decor, yet also stand out at the same time.

To see where you can get a close match to this lamp, as well as find many more curvy, white table lamps, read more.
This Jonathan Adler Table Lamp in Capri White (on sale for $225) is a close match to Cameron and Mitchell's lamp. I love its lustrous shade and curvy glass base. Unlike the lamp in the show, Adler's lamp has a polished nickel base, which adds contrast.

Trend Alert: Pasty White Faces for Spring

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Now that Paris Fashion Week is finally over, it's time to round up another beauty trend from the hottest fashion shows that France has to offer. Red lips have been and will always be in style, as will sexy, bed head hair. But a little more fashion forward and racy is next season's modern take on the white Geisha face.

At the Alexander McQueen show, faces were painted a sparkly, almost iridescent white colour. At John Galliano for Christian Dior, skin was uber pale and accentuated with dark plummy lips and eyes, and at the Tim Hamilton show, faces and lips were a sheer white shade. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to rock this trend, but it sure does make a statement. How about you - would you ever paint your face white for a party other than Halloween?

Throwing down green for a white gadget means a commitment to not drop your phone, not spill spaghetti or a cocktail on your prized gadget, and well, treat it like a baby. That being said, snowy white gadgets are sleek, modern, and oh-so-hip. Just ask all the people who picked the white iPhone over black or original.

Coveted Crib: Lovely and Light Near London

CasaSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:00:32 -0700

Sometimes we get so caught up with trendy accessories and of-the-moment palettes that we forget to consider the feel of the homes we're creating. It's no secret that all-white rooms have a relaxing effect. But throw natural materials, well-loved hardwood floors, worn upholstery, and a collection of vintage and antique accessories and furnishings into the mix, and what you have is a home that's not concerned with the latest and greatest, but is simply content as is. No shopping list, nothing dated, everything is timeless. This lovely and light Victorian home near London is a wonderful example of that. You'll breathe a sigh of relief when you see it. To take the full tour, read more.
