Donna Karan, For Infinity

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

I'm all about getting more bang for your buck. Why not invest in something that can be worn an infinite number of ways? Donna Karan's The Infinity Dress ($895) is one of those pieces you want to have in your closet. Just look below to see the fabulous things it can do. Yes, it's pricey, but when you consider that it can be worn at least 10 ways, it's not so bad. It also comes in red and pink, though black is sleekest. I can't choose a favorite - each one is more stylish than the last. And the jersey fabric means it's super comfortable, too.

Bellissima! InfinitySun

InfinitySun is an innovative sunless tanning technology designed to give each client a custom-blended tan for her skin tone. It's also the first-ever anti-aging spray tan formulated with antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and anti-aging emollients.

As with any spray tan, you should be exfoliated, shaven, showered, and free of lotion and deodorant before getting in the booth. A technician will analyze your skin tone, and a computerized system will blend a mixture just for you. The process takes about five minutes, and you can then choose from three take-home products to help keep your tan over time.

As of now, there are two locations offering InfinitySun - the Jose Eber Salon in Beverly Hills and Enhancement Unlimited Salon in Garden City, NY - though more are opening soon. And according to Veronique Munro, CEO of InfinitySun, Jessica Alba purchased an at-home InfinitySun Spa (below) so that she can maintain her gorgeous summer glow all year. If it's good enough for Jessica Alba, it's good enough for me.

Prada is jumping on the designer-book bandwagon. The Italian house has unveiled a 706-page book, titled Prada, that highlights the house's 30 years of fashion, art, and more. "For Prada, fashion, luxury and style go beyond producing an infinity of clothes and shoes, so the book wants to illustrate the various aspects through which Prada expresses itself," said Patrizio Bertelli, chief executive officer of Prada Group. The tome, which retails for about $150, will hit Prada stores, select bookstores, and Prada.com.

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:15:33 -0700

There aren't enough positive words I can use to describe Catherine Malandrino's dresses. They are simply beautiful, feminine and unique. This Catherine Malandrino Infinity Print Tunic Dress, $425, is no exception. I love its Mondrian quality and the fuchsia, purple and white color combo. What a great way to hop on the latest pink bandwagon without being repetitive. Do you agree?

Coveted Crib: A Cool Calistoga Poolhouse

CasaSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:00:33 -0700

Poolhouses are often overlooked when it comes to good design; not so with this Calistoga, CA, poolhouse, whose straightforward, modern silhouette embodies pool design at its very best. Featured in Dwell magazine, the poolhouse has beautiful views both inside and out, featuring views of Mount St. Helena, the Palisades, and Napa Valley. Working with the landscape, the house is bermed into the hillside, while the pool, deck, and roof jut out toward the Napa Valley below. Adding to the natural look, the pool's infinity edge drops into the valley below.

To tour the poolhouse, read more.

Inside the poolhouse, materials such as exposed wood beams, steel frames, and concrete countertops provide durability and simple beauty, and keep the emphasis on the beautiful views outside. An open floor plan, augmented by glass doors which open to the pool, makes this a true Summer getaway.

On the Market: Matthew Perry's Former Pad

CasaSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:00:06 -0700

Are you a Friends fan with an eye for modern real estate? Then you're in luck because, according to Big Time, the 8,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath Beverly Hills former home of Matthew Perry is on the market for $12.5 million.The listing for the property reads:

"Lautner-esque" Modern estate at the end of quiet cul-de-sac in Trousdale. Poliform kitchen opens to family room, which spills out to sizable back yard with large lawn, outdoor cooking & dining, and infinity pool & spa. Sensational city-to-ocean views can also be enjoyed from lavish master suite with Poliform closet and 2-story high living room. State-of-the-art Crestron system controls luxurious, advanced 14-person, tiered screening room, as well as most other automated features of the house.

To hear about Perry's real estate portfolio and see many more photos, read more.

Perry purchased the property in 1999 for $2.9 million, and sold it in 2005 for $6.1 million. This Spring, he purchased a modern three-bedroom in LA for $4.5 million. And this Summer he paid $883,000 for a modest fixer-upper in LA's Studio City. It's clear that Perry is a modern man who loves to shop the market. While this industrial modern estate isn't quite my taste, it's certainly quite dramatic and architecturally stunning. I'd love to spend a weekend there, or even a few months . . . and pretend to be Marcia Brady with a trust fund.

This Just In: Natalie Portman Sells West Village Condo

CasaSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:00:01 -0700

Actress and vegan shoe designer Natalie Portman has sold her Richard Meier-designed condo in Manhattan's West Village area. It had been listed for $6.55 million. Portman first purchased the condo in 2005 for $5.7 million. The stunning skyscraper, with its transparent glass facade, has been on the market since June.

According to the New York Post:

Included in the convertible three-bedroom, three-bath, fifth-floor apartment are views in three directions, a 32-foot balcony, and a spacious great room. Building amenities include a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, an infinity-edge lap pool and a screening room.

For interior photos of the condo, read more.

While it's sad that the lovely Ms. Portman has ended her relationship with freak folker Devendra Banhart, I'm sure that this multimillion sale (impressive in this bad housing market) will provide her with some solace.

Do You Want to See a Movie Based on the Sims?

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 07:30:16 -0700

I wasn't sure this idea was going to come to fruition, but it seems to be true: Not only is the movie based on the Sims video games a go, but a producer for the movie explained the concept for the film.

Apparently some kids get a "Sims Infinity Pack," and their actions in the Sim-world actually start happening. It could be somewhat interesting to see a thought that happens to most geeks play out on screen, but on the other hand, I might get confused watching the Sims and not being able to control anything. (What! They have conditioned me to control!) What do you think?

Last Night a Hairbrush Saved My Life

BellaSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:00:11 -0700

Readers, I have fallen off the wagon. I have a strange desire (during this particularly humid week) to blow-dry my hair straight. I know it's not the best thing for my hair, but this time I got a reinforcement: I bought Conair’s Infiniti Tourmaline Brush ($12.99) after realizing I no longer even owned a round-barrel brush.

I've had blowouts in swank salons where they hold a round brush upright at the end and pull it straight down to create a perfect wave at the bottom of your hair. The spiral openings in this Tourmaline-infused brush some how make it possible to do that yourself, without getting one strand of hair caught on the bristles (OK, or handle. I have a lot of hair). Do you guys have a Holy Grail hair brush?
