Odd Things Ordinary Babies Do

LilSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:00:57 -0700

Moms are constantly worrying that their baby's oddities are more than just funny quirks. In reality, many of the things that keep moms fretting are usually no reason for alarm. However, if mommy is concerned, it's best to consult the child's doctor. Before making an appointment, here are a few of the funny things babies do that may seem a little odd but not out of the ordinary.

What's Your Favorite Age?

LilSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:00:41 -0700

Just like cheese and wine, children seem to get better with age. As a wee one grows, so does his or her personality, abilities, and opinions. Each time period of your child's life has its positive and negatives but many of us can pinpoint an age of our children that we thoroughly enjoyed. Whether it's the newborn phase, nine months, one year, five years or something else, what was the best age for you?

Join our The Mommy Club over in our LilSugar Community and share stories of your children throughout the ages! Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

Coveted Crib: Alys Beach Homes

CasaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:00:14 -0700

I just came across Alys Beach, a community of resort homes on the Florida Panhandle, and I am completely infatuated with the place. With beautiful white stucco walls and white-ridged roofs, it's a cross between English and Spanish architecture with classic, old-world charm.

It's also outfitted with every modern convenience, and each home is built using green construction techniques. Many homes have gracious, private, and storm-resistant courtyards such as this one, but the community also has spacious central courtyards for getting to know neighbors. And with gorgeous ocean views, rooftop terraces are another luxury. As for the interiors, they're as magnificent as the exteriors with tall, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, rich wooden ceiling beams, and a minimal, antique industrial aesthetic. Take the full tour of this house when you read more.

Look of the Day: Bundled-Up Beauty

FabSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:00:22 -0700

Gomi is a bundled-up beauty in her layered ensemble. Notice how she creatively played around with lengths by pairing a long sweater coat with a short skirt. I also spy an adorable pair of Marni Mary Janes. Kudos!

Here's what she has on:

Top: Development
Sweater: Jenny Han
Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Marni
Scarf: Banana Republic
Tights: Hue

Congrats to gomi!

Trend Alert: Black Tie Not Optional

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Whether with chain necklaces piled on top, as our example Lindsay Price flaunts, or simply untied, this invitation reads black tie not optional. The black tie detail is the pivotal player here, delivering a masculine/feminine message. Not so into bows? Here is a laid-back alternative. If you exercise your option, do like Lindsay and pile on some glitzy bling, and keep the rest sexy and sleek.

Style Glossary: Chevron

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:30:11 -0700

Chevron

No, not the gas station, but rather, a V design created by woven contrasting colored V design or printed V design. Designers often create a chevron design by cutting a stripe on the bias. Missoni often incorporates chevron in its dresses, tops, and pants.

If this funky pattern agrees with your taste, get this Development Zanadu Flutter Sleeve Blouse ($260).

Debut Boutique is making its debut on Fab with a Summer cleaning sale. Cool dresses, blouses, shorts, and bags are all up to 75 percent off the original retail price.

Celebrity Style: Becki Newton

FabSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Forget, for a second, the fact that Becki Newton needs some matte control, and focus on her from the neck down. I love her almost all - but not really - black look. The blue sequin panel running down her Development dress is a fresh take on all-over sequins and a good option for those who like shine in small doses. The ivory shoes aren't my favorite, but her stacked bangles, black patent clutch, and satin jacket draw most of the attention anyway.

Development Sleeveless Pleated Inset Sequin Dress in Ink - $429.00	Anna Sui Satin Jacket - $411.00
Multiple Bangle Set - $5.80	Xhilaration® Faux Snake Skin Clutch - Black - $12.99

Trend Alert: Black Eyelet

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Eyelets have taken on a new color - black. The traditional eyelet has been associated with Raggedy Anne dowdiness and hot Summer days but has since gone way of the dark side; evoking a sexier, mature look. See Victoria Beckham wearing a flirty, black eyelet Milly dress. Sidenote: Milly, really? Cool Posh.

Trend Alert: Mochachinos

FabSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 08:00:22 -0800

While I am more of a Chai latte girl, these ladies are making me yearn for a Mochachino. If you looked in my closet the least color you will see is beige or camel or tan - you get my point. When I feel like going colorless I prefer black or grey. But always one with an open mind about fashion, I may reconsider. Rachel, Sarah and Emma prove a sip of a Mochachino does provide quite a jolt.
