Dish! What Song Are You Embarrassed to Love?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Yesterday, I showed you the Google search results for worst band in the world. Verdict? Creed. OK, look, I know they're cheesy, but there's something about "My Sacrifice" that totally bypasses my rational thought. I love it even though I'm not supposed to - like macaroni and cheese eaten with fried chicken, plus dessert. What song (or songs) are you embarrassed to love?

What's the Worst Band in the World According to Google?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:00:00 -0800

Hahaha. Freaking Creed. (Just try your own Google search; this is really what comes up!) I agree on a conscious level, but on an unconscious one, when the bombastic "My Sacrifice" comes on the radio (which I secretly love!), I always have to listen to it. That is, unless whoever's with me says they'll jump out of the car if I leave it on. Then, you know, I change the station. (True story.)

Coming Soon: Amalfi Flowers from Creed

BellaSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:00:51 -0700

Since Creed's Spring Flowers is one of my all-time favorite fragrances, whenever I hear about new launches from this brand I get giddy. If only they weren't quite so expensive I think I'd own them all! The latest release from this privately held luxury fragrance company is called Amalfi Flowers. And talk about buzz: If you don't reserve a bottle ASAP, you just might be out of luck. It is being released exclusively to nineteen select Saks stores nationwide this October in limited-edition quantities.

The company has decided to sell only 375 bottles, which will be wrapped in Italian Amalfi-colored terra cotta and will be numbered and signed by Olivier Creed himself. The available size selections and prices are $270 for a 1.7 ounce bottle of Eau de Parfum and $450 for an 8.4 ounce bottle. (Whoa, that's almost as scary as taking an actual drive along the Amalfi Coast!)

As you would imagine, the scent was inspired by a memorable walk that Olivier Creed and his son Erwin took together in the gardens of the Villa Rudulfo, located on a perch above the Amalfi coast in Italy. The sunrise was so exquisite that they decided to commemorate the moment with a new fragrance that captures the essence of the gardens.

In the perfume you'll find a blend of lemon, rose, bougainvillea, mandarin, basil, bergamot, black currant, ginger, patchouli, iris, ambergris, violet, sandalwood and leather. (Notice the fall leather trend rearing its head again.) The packaging is also worth mentioning since it is crafted from shatterproof glass, so you can take it wherever you may go.

Happy Birthday, Neiman Marcus!

Whenever I need to feel like a luxurious lady, I take a stroll through Neiman Marcus. Joke all you like about the stratospheric prices at "Needless Markup," but you've got to admit, it's a great place to window-shop. (It also helps that the store doesn't take most credit cards, so I'm safely out of temptation's reach!)

The Dallas-based retailer is celebrating its centennial this year, and it's whipped up plenty of beauty exclusives for the occasion. And guess what, they're all being sold at 1907 prices! Just kidding. The most affordable item is this $36 Nars highlighting duo, which packages Albatross highlighter with Torrid blush. It's a pretty duo, but I had more fun browsing the over-the-top luxury items-all $5,449 worth!

My dream item is this Bobbi Brown brush kit ($650). It features 10 handcrafted brushes with 24k gold accents, tucked in a sumptuous leather box. There's also a travel pouch, but honestly, these brushes are so pretty that I'd just want to admire them in the privacy of my home.

Limited-Edition Fragrance: Creed Fleurs De Gardenia

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 09:27:06 -0700

Sixth-generation perfumer Oliver Creed has created a new unisex scent inspired by the aromas of Miami. The limited edition fragrance, called Fleurs De Gardenia, will be available only at Saks Fifth Avenue stores and only through the month of September. The scent is dominated by essences of gardenias from Miami, Asia, and French Polynesia; it has top notes of peony, orange, jasmine, rose, and iris with bottom notes of vanilla, ambergris, and royal sandalwood.

To order the fragrance, call Saks directly at 1-877-551-SAKS. The 1.7-ounce bottle comes in a winter-white leather atomizer (the same color as the Miami gardenia, naturally) and sells for $250. The significantly larger 8.4-ounce bottle sells for $375 and is packaged in a classic Creed glass bottle.

Creed Virgin Island Water Eau de Parfum

BellaSugar — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 12:34:33 -0800

Creed Fragrances have just created an awesome new scent inspired by America's Caribbean paradise, called Creed Virgin Island Water Eau de Parfum.

This fragrance has a very crisp and citrusy sensation. It is made from: white bergamot, Jamaican lime, Sicilian mandarin, Indian jasmine, and Tonkin musk.

The bottle is clean and beautiful. It is clear glass (different from all of their other bottles) and is crowned with a metallic blue cap.

However, consider yourself warned: smelling like paradise doesn't run cheap. A 4 oz bottle sells for $208, a 2.5 oz bottle sells for $185 and a one oz bottle sells for $98.

Kate, Nicole and Eva Share the Spotlight With CNN's Heroes

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:45:00 -0800

Anderson Cooper was the man of the evening on Saturday as he hosted the annual CNN Heroes Awards. The ceremony honored ten individuals who go above and beyond with their contribution to the world, and each was introduced to the crowd by a celebrity guest. Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, and Eva Mendes were a few of the ladies on hand to do the honors, while Carrie Underwood performed. The evening's biggest award, CNN's Hero of the Year, went to Efren Peñaflorida because of his efforts to bring education to underprivileged children in the Philippines. Kate and Nicole took the evening off from promoting Nine, though they were both out again last night for the American Music Awards. The ladies were joined by other actors like Neil Patrick Harris and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and we'll be able to see the whole show when it airs Thanksgiving evening.
