On Our Radar: Scoop Beach Collection to Debut

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:00:22 -0800

Scoop NYC has created an exciting collection for ladies who love designer resort collections but would rather not spend a fortune.

Scoop Beach, set to launch in February, will not just be for vacation getaways. "This is not stuff to [simply] go to the beach in," said Stefani Greenfield, co-owner of the store. "We're going to have this in our stores all year long."

Fifteen Scoop NYC shops, as well as other department stores, will carry the collection, which includes a variety of dresses, woven tops, knitwear, pants, scarves, sandals, handbags, and more. If you don't live near a Scoop, an online store is coming soon. Items ranging from $55 to $445 aren't cheap, but they sure beat, say Prada's resort collection. I'll take that.

Scoop's First Fragrance

BellaSugar — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 09:37:51 -0800

One of my favorite hip boutiques, Scoop, just launched its first fragrance, appropriately titled Scoop Perfume. This new and exuberant scent is a wonderfully light floral and citrus blend with notes of pear blossom, orange zest, peony, jasmine, and freesia. You can buy the larger, 2-ounce Eau de Parfum bottle here for $65, or you try the mini .37-ounce travel-sized roll-on bottle here for $45.

For those of you who have trained your little ladies to love Scoop as much as you do, you can buy a cute red bottle of Scoop Kids Roll-On Perfume here for $45. It's intended for children and is made from fresh strawberry, pear, peach, jasmine, and rose. Mmmm, good.

Carrie Bradshaw Already Looks a Little Motherly For SATC 2

Molly — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:30:00 -0700

Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon strolled the West Village of NYC running lines as Carrie and Miranda today. Miranda's onscreen son, Brady, shared a cute moment with SJP, but it's Carrie's motherly instincts that are the source of rumors that Sex and the City 2 will mean baby fever for our heroine. The cast has only been shooting for a few days, but the wardrobe already has us excited - Fab has the scoop on Carrie's hot gold aviators while CelebStyle is breaking down all the looks! If the sequel does involve a new addition for Carrie and Big, SJP will be able to bring a bit of her own experience to the role, especially with her new baby twins making one of our biggest headlines of the Summer.

Mischa Takes Her Smokes to Shop in NYC

PopSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Mischa Barton had her hands full yesterday following an afternoon of shopping in NYC. She fiddled with her Blackberry and smoked before hopping into a cab with her big black purse and a tote from the boutique Scoop. Mischa has been making plenty of time for retail therapy and exercise during her time in NYC when she isn't hard at work on the set of The Beautiful Life. Her costars must have also logged hours at the gym to shape up for their racy promo photos, though Mischa apparently didn't take part in the shoot because of a schedule conflict.

Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick were in familiar outfits for another morning on the NYC set of Gossip Girl today - shop Leighton's look here. Before getting into her costume, Blake Lively looked like she was having a ball as she laughed all the way to her trailer. We got a hint as to what's in store for a few of the characters from Michelle Trachtenberg earlier this week, but we'll have to wait for the premiere episode on Sept. 15 to get the full scoop.

Catching Up With Mary-Kate

FabSugar — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:00:22 -0800

Here's how Mary-Kate's week went last week: Tuesday, CelebStyle is giving away pieces from the Elizabeth and James jewelry line; Wednesday, chatted with Fab while drinking a non-vanilla iced latte; Wednesday night, partied with fashion folks at Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld exhibition; Thursday, attended Proenza Schouler's Fall show while wearing a pair of shoes from Elizabeth and James's shoe collection; Saturday, attended the Independent Spirit awards in Proenza shoes. Whew. See how it's all intertwined? It had to be fate, then, that led me and Mary-Kate to a surprise convo at the Elizabeth and James design studio in NYC.I had an appointment to see the highly anticipated Elizabeth and James shoes and to preview the Summer clothing collection. No silly, not with Mary-Kate, she just happened to pop by when I was getting the scoop. Intros were made, Fab stood in shock.

To hear the rest about my surprise MK meeting, read more.

Then we talked all things Olsen. Me, sipping on my GNC smoothie, her sipping her non-vanilla iced latte (she asked the deliverer to make sure it wasn't vanilla - are you getting this, Yum?). We then talked shoes. I can't reveal more pictures yet, but the finely crafted shoes come in either very flat or very heeled form - no in between. My favorites were the pony hair loafers and black suede ruched d'orsay open toe sandals. The Steve Madden team is very involved with manufacturing, sourcing, and distributing the shoes but with the girls’ aesthetic and the Elizabeth and James shoe designer, they are very different from the Steve Madden shoe lines. The shoes are very well made, being produced in China, Mexico, Brazil and Italy, and a price point below heavyweight heels like Louboutin or Manolo. MK spoke about how Ashley was inspired by a trip to Greece and hence created the gladiator sandals.

We then chatted about the quick success of The Row's menswear launch; MK was surprised it took off so fast. I swear, everything they touch turns to gold. We also talked about a friend of mine who worked as their illustrator on their junior line in LA - she said to say hi Jevon! Lastly, she was wearing the Balenciaga sandals in the photo on the left, black holey legging/tights, and an oversize black sweater. She was very polite and mellow. Hope you enjoyed catching up with Mary-Kate - I did!

Buxom Lashes: Not For the Faint of Heart!

Sponsor — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:45:01 -0800

Now, if you grew 300% in an instant, it would be a cause for concern (not to mention Alice in Wonderland flashbacks). Your lashes? A different matter entirely. Many of us can only dream about having thick, voluminous lashes that aren't clumpy, messy or halfway down our cheeks by lunchtime. Enter Buxom Lash Mascara from Bare Escentuals.

Like collagen injections for your lashes, Buxom's hourglass-shaped brush lifts and plumps each lash, leaving you with bodacious fringe and va-va-volume. Unlike collagen treatments, Buxom is painless, needle-free, and formulated lovingly from the mineral-rich ingredients you come to expect from Bare Escentuals to color, protect and moisturize delicate lashes (and it's paraben-free and safe for contact lens wearers).

In celebration of the big debut, the Buxom Burlesque Dancers will be at Sephora Times Square, NYC from 12-6pm this Saturday, February 21st, with makeup artists in tow providing Bare Escentuals' famous "make-unders" and Buxom Lash demos. And here's a special treat for BellaSugar readers! Be one of the first 25 people to leave a comment on this post, and you will receive your very own Buxom Lash Mascara! Want to learn more?

Geeks We Love: Kevin Hall of Dvice

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:25:24 -0800

I check in daily with Dvice, not only because of its gadget coverage, but also because of its sweet sci-fi influence. So just in case you aren't familiar (and if not, why?), let me introduce you to one of Dvice's endearingly geeky contributors - and one of this year's Geeks We Love - Kevin Hall. Recent Brooklyn transplant, this geek hottie has traveled the world, seen (almost) everything, and can still say that robots are his favorite thing . . . ever.

GS: Pretend I'm a total stranger (and let's be honest, I pretty much am), and tell me a little about yourself.
KH: Well, I'm a 24-year-old freelancer living in Brooklyn, NY. I'm a transplant, though - I was born in La Jolla, CA, and have lived in Indonesia, Pennsylvania, London, and Texas. After graduating from college, I knew I wanted to write and heard NYC is the place to do it, so I moved here. I was lucky enough to get a shot at blogging for Gizmodo, then started writing for DVICE, and editing a SCI-FI channel blog called Visions For Tomorrow. That's all rather boring stuff, I suppose. What else? My favorite color is orange, I love eating at all of New York's fine burger spots, and I'm probably more into robots than anyone made of flesh should be. Seriously, if technology made it possible to implant my brain into a robotic shell, I'd totally do it.

To see how Kevin appreciates old(er) school technology, what gadget is on his hot list, and why I'd go on a Valentine's date with him any day of the week, just read more.

GS: Are you strictly a gadget type of guy, or are you also a sci-fi nerd and/or gaming geek?
KH: All three, I'd say, though mostly a sci-fi and gaming geek. I love gadgets, but I don't camp in lines for the latest thing. In fact, I've got a fat, old Samsung clamshell for a cell that's maybe 4- or 5-years-old now, and the same 3.2-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot that I had in high school. And when it comes to science fiction, all of my favorite shows have come and gone - Star Trek: TNG, Space Above and Beyond, Cowboy Bebop, Futurama, and Firefly. I do enjoy the new Battlestar Galactica, of course, and I still love Star Wars, despite my love of Star Trek. If it's in space, I'll probably love it. I read more sci-fi than I watch.

Oh, how I love video games. I'd say the titles that define my tastes would be Deus Ex, Myth, Shadow of the Colossus, Halo, Tribes, Guardian Heroes (for the Saturn), Everquest, Anarchy Online, EVE - now that I've started, I really could go on forever. The last game I played was Gears of Wars 2, and that was about 20 minutes ago. And now it's five a.m., so yeah, you can see how I enjoy my gaming!

GS: Do you remember your very first gadget? Mine was a pager. No, really.
KH: I think my first gadget was probably a Game Boy. Growing up overseas, most of the games we had access to were pirated cartridges titled something like "99 games in one," but each one would just have maybe five or 10 ripoffs of Mario and Pac Man and stuff like that. I think I've actually owned almost every iteration of the Game Boy, from the old beloved brick to the niche-y Micro. I guess I'm slowing down in my old age, though, as I didn't run out to replace my first-gen DS with a Lite.

GS: What gadget are you lusting over right now?
KH: Boring answer, I know, but the iPhone. I'm really impressed by it, especially now that the App Store has been blown wide open. I'm not hardcore enough to want a Blackberry, and I hate cellphones too much to be interested by anything else on the market. The iPhone seems to be a good blend of functional phone and handheld computer, and that really appeals to me.

GS: Dvice is a Sci-Fi owned blog, so you must get cool insider scoops, right? You know how Battlestar Galactica ends, don't you?! Tell me! Tell me now!
KH: We get our tie-ins and exclusive content, sure, but I can't say much more than that. The last thing I want is one of the Sci-Fi Channel's Terminators to return from the future and kill me in the middle of this interview.

GS: What would a geeky-cool guy like you want to do for your lady friend on Valentine's Day? Take us through your perfect date.
KH: Well, we'd start out by taking a newly constructed hover train from New York to Germany (yeah, doesn't exist, just roll with it - I love trains), and hit up this restaurant called Baggers, which has fully automated service. Then we'd fly over to Russia and hitch a ride up to the International Space Station for a flashlight-lit (I imagine candles would be dangerous) dessert in zero-gee and some stargazing. I think the brilliance of the Earth from orbit would make a pretty romantic backdrop, so we'd probably ride around for a full orbit, uh, "playing video games," and then it's back to Earth for us. Or - for a creepy alternate ending - she could reveal that she's actually a robot from an alien world and I'd follow her home. Or we could just go to Tokyo - it's my favorite place to visit and it's about as close as you can get to living in the future.
