Lil Gift Guide: The Pregnant Friend

babysugar — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:00:23 -0800

For our first gift-guide post, we are thrilled that the person we are giving to is the mother-to-be. Having been one, it was hard to narrow down just a few items that I liked when I was pregnant. Here are three presents that any pregnant lady would love (and need).

Under $50
My hot mama friends and I love Belly Mama Belly Oil (4 fl. oz. for $24). There are tons of belly rubs to choose from, but this one is great for stretch marks and dry skin - all the things a mom-to-be wants to avoid!

$50 to $100
When she's in the hospital with swollen ankles and sore parts, the last thing she will feel is cute. Dear Johnnies ($65 – $70) makes adorable pajamas and robes for women who have just had their babies. Their motto is "special gowns for special deliveries." These punch-colored gowns and polka-dotted robes will give the new mom just the pep she needs for all of those hospital paparazzi moments!

Over $100
As a woman's belly grows so does her sleep discomfort. You can help remedy the restless nights by getting your friend a body pillow that will mold to her form. The Tempur-Pedic Body Pillow ($150) may set you back just a tad but your friend will be eternally grateful.

Midday Muse: Admiring Malandrino

While perusing FabSugar's superb coverage of 2008 Spring New York Fashion Week, I came across this stunning gown from the Catherine Malandrino show. I love the split pea-esque shade and the button detailing at the neck. How could you use this as decorating inspiration?

Jennifer, Gwyneth and More Spend Thanksgiving in Morocco

Molly — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:12:41 -0800

While many of us were chowing down on Thanksgiving, some stars were all decked out for the re-opening of the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco yesterday. Jennifer Aniston led the way in her sexy black gown after arriving in town just in time for the party. Orlando Bloom had his glamorous girlfriend Miranda Kerr on his arm while Salma Hayek opted for a one-shouldered dress. Gwyneth Paltrow went with something lighter as she spent the American holiday away from her family. Adrien Brody recently wowed us with his hot shirtless abs in Hawaii, but he also looked pretty dapper all dressed up to hit the red carpet.

Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind: Wedding Gown Storage

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 04:50:22 -0700

I've haven't purchased a wedding gown (yet), but I can tell from married friends that preserving that gorgeous and way-too-expensive gown is of top priority once all the celebrating is over. So how does one properly store their favorite wedding dress?

First things first, never store your dress in a plastic bag for more than a few days. Just like you, your gown needs to breathe.
Do not hang your dress like you would any normal garment. Chances are your dress is heavy so hanging it for a long period of time will not only take up room in your closet, it will weaken the seams.
Start by laying your dry-cleaned dress flat and covering the whole thing with white tissue paper. I'd wear gloves during this process so as not to get lotions or oil on the dress.
Next, fold and store your dress in a sealed cardboard box. Try to get a very large box to avoid folding the dress too many times.
Be sure to store away from direct sunlight to prevent your dress from eventually turning yellow. The best spot is on a high shelf in an interior closet.
Don't forget to check up on your dress once a year to make sure it's in good condition.

Love it or Hate it: Natalie Portman at the NYC Ballet

FabSugarUK — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:30:17 -0800

Natalie Portman attended the opening of the new season of the New York City ballet last night in a gorgeous ankle length gown. The navy blue dress was covered in tiny white stars that gave the look a magical feel. She kept the look elegant with a black wrap and strappy sandals. Do you love her look, or would you have liked to see her try something more edgy?

Fab Read: Target Underwear and a Vera Wang Gown

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

I was perusing the aisles of a local bookstore when a book, cheekily titled Target Underwear and a Vera Wang Gown ($25) made me halt. If author Adena Halpern purposely named the book to draw curiosity, then she sure succeeded!

Halpern, a writer for Marie Claire, rehashes her life, emphasizing the clothing she wore during her most up and down moments. Target undies naturally speaks to her economical side and the Vera Wang gown is the breakup dress she dons to lift her spirits. Adena claims she's not a fashionista, but her biggest date challenge, to never repeat an outfit, proves otherwise. Sounds like my kinda gal!

Most of you loved Alicia's makeup at the AMAs last night, so to help you get her gorgeous blue shadow and pink lip, I got the lowdown from her stylist, Ashunta Sheriff. "Alicia's look was inspired by her hand-beaded gown, which was various shades of blue," she says. "The look was pretty, regal, and sexy." To get a step-by-step on how Ashunta created the look, just read more.

The Ladies Are Short, Long and Shiny on the AMA Red Carpet!

Molly — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:59:00 -0800

The 2009 American Music Awards descended on the Nokia Theatre in LA last night, which meant a star studded red carpet before the big show. It was a pleasant mixture of long and short dresses on all the ladies, though some even found a way to do both simultaneously like Rihanna in her cutout gown. Carrie Underwood has the early lead in Fab's best dressed poll, but Rih is close behind. Alicia Keys stood out in blue while Fergie's high slit meant she showed off some leg as she posed. Nicole Kidman spent most of her red carpet time on the arm of her husband Keith Urban - speaking of which, check out all the guys here.

Shakira and Selena Gomez cozied up for the cameras in their standout short dresses while Demi Lovato sported some bling around her neck. Paula Abdul went all out in her black gown and Carrie Underwood kept it simple and sweet. Find out how to get some of our favorite red carpet looks like Selena and Demi here. Don't forget to vote in all of Fab and Bella's love it or leave it polls, see the full list of winners and stay tuned for more AMA coverage coming up!

Wedding gowns were traditionally white to represent the bride's innocence and purity.
Not so much anymore.

Thanks, College Humor!
