sundance

Sundance is currently offering up to 60 percent off of its festive holiday décor. So, if you're looking for stockings, ornaments, snow globes, festive hooked pillows, or nostalgic decorative items, Sundance is the place to go. As much as I like the look of CB2's holiday items, considering that Christmas is something that's celebrated year after year (and sometimes we even inherit our parents' holiday decorations), I prefer the classic look of this retailer's holiday décor. I'm loving this super affordable Set of 18 Vintage Jewel-Tone Ornaments ($12), this classic White Tree Hooked Pillow ($48), and for some odd reason, this kitschy Five Foot Santa Lawn Light ($49).

I have yet to catch an episode of Sundance's Iconoclasts series, which pairs celebrities or leading innovators from two different industries to chat about their passions and creative processes. But, after seeing some clips of season four, which couples long-time environmental advocate Cameron Diaz and Architecture for Humanity cofounder Cameron
Sinclair, I think I've been wooed. This season, the series follows the two to New Orleans and Biloxi, MS, to take in the environmental impact of Hurricane Katrina. While Diaz may be an eco-conscious gal, she's not exactly an expert, so Sinclair, whose global organization works to find sustainable architectural solutions to humanitarian crises, is really the force in this pairing. It's refreshing to see him getting some face time and interesting to hear his perspective on an environment which has been so monumentally devastated.

Tonight at 8 p.m. (CDT), the Sundance channel will premiere an original six-part documentary series, Architecture School, which follows a group of students from Tulane University's prestigious School of Architecture as they compete for the chance to design an affordable home in Katrina-devastated New Orleans. The winning model will be built during the school year and put on the market, giving one recent grad one whopping résume bullet point at the start of his career. Stiff competition! The home will be built as part of Tulane University's URBANbuild program, which was founded in 2005 to restore urban neighborhoods as a response to the storm. Executive Producer Michael Selditch was so inspired by Tulane University's URBANbuild program that he designed and built the show specifically around the 3-year-old program. Tune in tonight to see for yourself!

The Sundance Steamer Trunk Coffee Table ($1895) is inspired by turn of the century steamer trunks from a more romantic era. It features riveted oak banding, leather reinforced seams, sturdy leather handles, and canvas-lined three drawers for ample storage. You can choose from top grain leather or stainless steel, but the industrial glow of the stainless steel is certainly hard to resist. This isn't a dinky coffee table that you can put your feet on for two years; it's built to last, and the price reflects that. It's also a classic design, which will never go out of style, though it is meant for a more casual living room, or "den." So if you've got stiff, silk-upholstered Louis XIV accent chairs and a velvet Victorian setee in your living room, then this probably isn't for you. Still it's a bit difficult for me to contemplate dropping two grand on a table, regardless of whether or not it's a good investment.

Sundance is still rolling along, and last night it brought out a face we haven't seen in a while: Charlize Theron. The actress walked the red carpet for her new movie, Sleepwalking, in an olive cowl-neck dress and black leather boots. Her look, black trench coat included, is very cold-weather appropriate and cool. Does anyone else think her new short hairstyle makes her look a bit like Kylie Minogue?

The Sundance Film Festival is to BuzzSugar what New York Fashion Week is to Fab. Buzz and Molly are in Utah getting their fill of cool flicks and celebs. Since this is a major event, I asked you to help our girls dress the part. It's really cold and snowy there, so I started you off with this Splendid Cheetah Print Thermal Top ($61). Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by fashionhore, is cozy chic. What I love is that she dared to put the girls in a skirt, despite the cold!
