Design Ideas to Steal From Bright Star

CasaSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:00:11 -0700

Director Jane Campion's film Bright Star chronicles the love affair between poet John Keats and his neighbor Fanny Brawne. Almost the entire film is shot in one location, the grounds of homes shared by the Brawne family and Keats's friend, the writer Charles Armitage Brown. I'm a total fan of period films, and this one is no exception. The costumes and sets are absolutely divine. See my ideas for getting the romantic look of Bright Star.

Get the Look: The Break-Up

CasaSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:00:26 -0700

I have to admit that my favorite parts of the 2006 film The Break-Up had less to do with the plot line and more to do with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's gorgeous Chicago condo. Since Aniston's character is an art dealer, the movie is also chock full of great art. Check out my ideas for getting the look of the film.

The Top 15 Movies With "Cougar" Characters

TresSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0700

I loathe the word cougar - used, for the most part, to try to humiliate women who date younger men (their "prey," known as cubs). But for better or worse, it's in the lexicon, which means that the idea that older women can still be sexy - and sexual - is out there, too. The following group of films shows that the cougar's been around in popular culture for a while, that cougar/cub desire is a two-way street, and that these couplings can be good, bad, or downright scary.

Cool Ideas: Design Star's Celebrity Rooms

CasaSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:01:46 -0700

The last episode of Design Star narrowed the field from three to two designers. In my opinion, the designer who was eliminated (Lonnie) created the most cohesive and style-forward rooms out of the three. Everyone did a great job, though, and there are plenty of great ideas to take away from the latest episode.

Top 10 Quotes From The Quotable Douchebag

TresSugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0700

The douchebag is everywhere. No matter how much we want to ignore him, he pops up with his arrogance, stupidity, and Ed Hardy shirts! Since he doesn't seem to be going anywhere, he might as well amuse us. Which brings me to The Quotable Douchebag: A Treasury of Spectacularly Stupid Remarks, bravely compiled by Margaret McGuire. The book not only has a pretty great explanation of how literal douchebags came to describe real-life douchelords, the quotes are incredible and hard to believe. Brace yourselves. The following quotes are just the tip of the doucheberg . . .

11 Female Photographers Who Rock My World

TresSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:37:56 -0700

Photography is one of my favorite mediums, and unlike many other art forms dominated by men, female photographers have played a crucial role in shaping and helping photography to develop. From the photojournalism of Margaret Bourke-White to the movie stills of nonexistent films by Cindy Sherman, female photographers continue to seize life as it's lived in the world and in the mind.
