Mommy's Lil Helper: My Dirty Birdie

LilSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:11:21 -0700

Lil munchkins make messes and while moms are quick to pull out their wipes, wash cloths and stain sticks, there's an easier way to deal with the spills that come with kids. My Dirty Birdie is a line of genius shirts that incorporate stains in the design. Who better than a tot to pull off the splattered with mud, dropped a lil peanut butter and jelly, or squeezed a bit too much juice from my box tees? Made of cotton and available in tops ($20), onesies ($16) and bibs ($14), these fashion statements can't get any more adorable. So go ahead and let your rascals play with makeup and run through the mud.

It's Hard to Resist Kristen Stewart's Allure

PopSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:03:22 -0700

We caught a sneak peek at Kristen Stewart shooting the November cover of Allure back in July at the Santa Monica Pier, and the issue is finally about to hit newsstands. It's yet another cover after her recent appearance in Interview as she makes the rounds to discuss her latest film in the Twilight series. She sat down to chat all about her personality, what sets the movies apart from all the other vampire stories, and even Robert Pattinson. Here's more:

On her dating Robert Pattinson: "I read that story every day. . . it’s in a story every day, so let’s not put it in another one."
On why Twilight resonates with fans: "There's a lot of [vampire] stuff out there, but this goes deeper. But it's [more than] just foreplay. Even though it does that so well -it does a f***ing good job - the build up is like, ridiculous. But it's all for the right reasons. You're so very much with Bella. You're so in her shoes that it's a vicarious experience. It's addictive."
On people's reactions to the shots of her kissing Robert in New Moon: "This shot got everyone talking like I have some sort of great ass. But come on, I have a flat ass. I don't know what people are talking about."

To see more of Kristen and read what she has to say about her weight, her fashion and staying true to herself just read more.

On staying true to herself: "I go outside, and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, 'What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.' I'm like, don't you get it? I'm not that girl! It's not like I was really clean cut last year."
On her weight: "I don’t exercise. I’m skinny fat. I worry about being too skinny. You should see my brother, he's, like, emaciated. We both just happen to be really skinny."
On the Bella doll: "She has bigger t*ts than me, and she looks ten years older. I have one, it's in a drawer."
On trying to be sincere: “I spend so much of my time guarding against sounding insincere about something that I would die for. . . maybe I’m overcompensating. . . I care so much. And it gets reported as the opposite. And even seeing this [interview], they’ll be like, Oh, she’s trying to let us know. . . "

Make sure to check out more behind-the-scenes photos from Kristen's shoot, as well as a look at her style transformation over the years, before the issue hits newsstands in NYC and LA on October 13, and everywhere else on the 20th.

If I Won a $1,000 Nike Gift Card . . .

FitSugar — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:30:00 -0800

Nike may have started out as a sneaker company, but they also make gear that is flattering and fun to wear. This is why we are excited to be offering a $1000 gift card from Nike along with other great prizes in our Get Fit for 2009 giveaway. If I had $1000 to spend on Nike gear, I would definitely invest in a pair of Zoom Sister One+ training shoes. These shoes are so light on your feet, they make strength training feel like a dance.

My other major splurge would be the Monika Club Bag ($160); full of pockets for organizing all your gym gear, the bag even comes with a "dirty clothes" bag to help keep your sweaty duds separate.

My shopping spree wouldn't end there. To see what else I would choose read more.

The Nike Spring collection is full of color, hot pink and cobalt blue, and long shirts. Yay! No more worrying about showing off more of your backside than you intended. Nike uses their special blend of Dri-Fit fabric, which wicks away sweat without feeling synthetic, in some colorful striped long tanks ($30) - perfect for any workout out. Sticking with the "long" theme, Nike has created a fitted zip hoodie that will cover your bum too.

I would round out my $1000 with some hot pink training shorts for the girlish tomboy look as well as a hot pink Dri-Fit top to keep me cool when I am running hot.

If you won a $1000 Nike gift card, what would you get?

T4 On The Beach: A Summer-y Summary

PopSugarUK — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:00:00 -0700

So I've told you about my experiences with McFly, the Skins cast and Kelly Rowland at T4 On The Beach, but now it's time to show you all the rest of my photos and sum up the day. A couple of my style icons Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung both did their thing onstage at the event, Agyness looked fab (do you agree?) in her checked shirt, which seemed to be the item du jour for all of the men who were there, from McFly's Harry and Dougie to T4 presenters Steve Jones and Rick Edwards.

The 45,000 strong crowd loved Agyness and there was a roar when she took to the stage to sing with Five O'Clock Heroes – she also brought her man Albert Hammond Jr to keep her company! Alexa was rushing about backstage to present her links, but looked gorgeous in her mini with ankle boots. She was also rocking some wayfarers, like many people at the event including yours truly and the super-cool Carl Barat who performed with Dirty Pretty Things.

To hear a little more about the day and see many more photos of the celebs, including Scouting For Girls, Dev Hynes, Gladiators, Duffy, George Sampson, One Night Only and others, just read more

Alexa's fashion partner in crime Gok Wan was also there, and I spied him in the VIP bar watching Feeder perform "Buck Rogers". A little later Gok and friends took advantage of some transportation that was going unused backstage, staging a smile-filled mini photo shoot outside the press tent. The Ting Tings put on a great performance despite a little trouble with Katie's microphone cord, and "Shut Up And Let Me Go" was definitely a highlight of the afternoon. The boys in the crowd all perked up when Basshunter performed with a bunch of scantily clad female dancers, and the entire Basshunter crew got rather merry on the free booze backstage following the performance as the album went in at number one yesterday!

Speaking of the scantily clad, the press tent went rather quiet as four of the Gladiators came in wearing their costumes... one of whom the female faction went a little googly eyed over. Who knew ridiculous costumes could have that effect? At the same time Gemma Atkinson came in and the men also got a little googly eyed. She's really petite, seemed very down to earth and was so friendly to everybody backstage – another genuinely nice type, which was fab to see.

All in all it was an awesome day, and I can't wait for next year. Did any of you go or watch it go out live on TV? Let me know!

FABTV: Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

FabSugar — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 11:00:22 -0700

Wait! Before you play this video close your eyes. I bet you can recite not only the lyrics but exactly what Kurt Cobain wore in this video. If you can't, Marc Jacobs certainly can. After all, this was the look that spawned his infamous "grunge collection" for Perry Ellis in 1992. Ironically, he was soon dismissed from the house - no matter, he obviously found his path. But back to Kurt. You know the look: striped shirt over long sleeve tee, dirty jeans, beat up Chucks and dirty cardigans. Oh, and don't forget the flannels! It was the anti-fashion look that made fashion history. Kurt was a singular sensation.
