Roundup: Capiz Craze
It's no secret that capiz chandeliers and table lamps have become trendy in the last few years. But the mother-of-pearl shells (named for the province in the Philippines where they originate) have also found their way to everything from mirrors to tissue boxes, proving that the delicate, glittery material is also a versatile one. I love this capiz chandelier hanging in a room designed by Michelle Williams Interiors.
All-Star Lineup Announced For Top Chef: Masters
If you're already missing your weekly dose of Top Chef, don't fret: Bravo has announced the cheftestant roster for Top Chef Masters, a new series premiering June 10.
In addition to its impressive cheftestant list and exciting new lineup of judges, the new show will also feature special appearances from a number of personalities, ranging from the predictable (previous winners, Tom, Padma, and Gail) to the surprising (Neil Patrick Harris, Zooey Deschanel, writers and producers of Lost). The show has 24 of the country's most prominent chefs vying for a $100,000 charity prize.
Few Fab Words With Ann Sofie Back
Last week I checked out the Swedish Fashion exhibit at the Fashion and Textiles museum and caught up with London based designer Ann Sofie Back. Ann Sofie has been showing in London for several years, she has collaborated with Topshop and her clothes have been worn by Rihanna and Estelle. She told me about the differences between Swedish and British fashion, the inspiration for her Autumn '09 collection and her thoughts on sexiness.
How to Use iPhoto's Tags, Hotkeys to Make Slideshows Easier
The idea of tagging photos is nothing new, but most people use it for things like identification, ala Facebook or Picasa (whose face-recognition technology continues to blow me away). After having had several parties in the last few months for people, and thereby putting together slideshows featuring the guests of honor, I realized how much photo tagging could help me — but with the original files.
I'm finally putting iPhoto's tagging to use; not only will tagging the photo files by the names of the people in them to sort through later, it couldn't be easier.

What the Frack? My Interview With Ron Moore and David Eick
If you've been slightly overwhelmed with the Christmas season like most of us around here at Sugar HQ, I've got a few things to snap you out of your holi-daze: Battlestar Galactica returns to your small screen on Friday, January 16, and is showing ten new webisodes on SciFi.com right now to tide you over until the premiere.
I couldn't be more excited to check out the last half of the final season, especially since it's been a pretty painful seven months waiting to see what will happen next. Yesterday, I sat in on a conference call to chat with BSG producers Ron D.

Trend Alert: Healthier Snack Chips
When Oprah declared that she would stop eating organic blue corn tortilla chips in favor of sweet potato chips, little did she know that the food industry was one step ahead of her. Healthier, alternative snack chips were a huge trend at last weekend's Fancy Foods Show. With names like Corazonas and Yuka, these chips have South American roots.
