Rachel Bilson ran with the studded theme with her shoes and favorite bag while out in LA on Thursday. She's already gearing up for the holidays with her shopping trips around the city, but this time around Rachel stocked up on Chanel and tea instead of office supplies. Rachel doesn't seem to be planning as far ahead when it comes to her wedding plans, but she may touch on the subject when she stars in the upcoming 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Are You Excited For Another Vacation Sequel?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:30:54 -0700

Hollywood may be taking a Couples Retreat this Friday, but we all know that Chevy Chase and National Lampoon put trip-themed films on the map with the Vacation series.

Now the Griswolds are back for another sequel, but this time Clark's son Rusty will be the dad commandeering the adventure. Ethan Embry played Rusty in the most recent Vegas Vacation, but a variety have actors have played the kids over the years and I'm sure we'll get a new pair this time. David Dobkin (one of the masterminds behind Wedding Crashers will produce and possibly direct, and of course the door is open for Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to make appearances as the original Mr. and Mrs. Griswold. The Vacation movies will always hold a special place in my heart, but are you excited for the sequel?

2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week: Chloé

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:00:22 -0700

You can spot a Chloé a mile away. That's not to say Hannah MacGibbon has a formula, but rather, a distinct aesthetic, which has come to define the house. While Spring '10 was muted in color, it was bursting in silhouette. Hefty ponchos, cropped capes, leather boy shorts, sharp suits, and leather overalls were among the offerings. A major theme was crisp button-down shirts, buttoned all the way to the top. In that sense, this collection is buttoned-up. It's a collection for a warrior woman, one who isn't afraid to embark on an unknown journey, stylish poncho in hand.

So as not to abandon her more flirtatious customer, however, Hannah added a few flowy skirts and an airy white accordion-pleated frock - wedding dress anyone? And for the denim-loving gal, one look: a patched button-down denim shirt and comfy jeans. Onward ho!

See lots more from Chloé Spring '10

Timeless Sibling Themes For Halloween: Daisy and Bee

LilSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:30:07 -0700

What's cuter than a child dressed up in costume? His or her sibling in a complementary one! Themed Halloweens were popular in my household growing up. We'd choose what we wanted to be and then my grandma and aunts would get to work making my mother's vision (she couldn't sew) come to fruition. In the 80s plastic costumes were the only ones available for purchase, but today lots of retailers sell affordable outfits for children to wear out trick-or-treating. After shuffling through some old photographs, I came across some pictures of timeless attire for fellow parents to use as inspiration - no trip to the fabric store or thimble required!

Celebrate the spooky holiday by dressing your babe in a sweeter than honey bee costume and the older tot as a darling daisy or her favorite flower. These getups are a salute to mother nature and will have fellow night owls buzzing!

Have you snapped fantastic photos of your kids in comical Halloween getups in the past? Join our Sugarbabies group over in the LilSugar Community and share your pics and costume tips. They could be featured on the site!

Ben & Jerry's Renames Flavor in Honor of Gay Marriage

YumSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:45:17 -0700

Beginning today, a Vermont law recognizing gay marriage goes into effect - and, to celebrate, ice cream company Ben & Jerry's is renaming popular seller "Chubby Hubby." The new name? "Hubby Hubby."

While Ben & Jerry's isn't changing the labels on "Chubby Hubby" pints sold in stores - revising product labels takes 18 months - a wedding-themed truck will hand out free "Hubby Hubby" ice cream across the state today, including at the Vermont capitol. The creamery's six in-state ice cream parlors will also sell limited-edition "Hubby Hubby" sundaes during the month of September.

Still, the company, which has been known to rename its ice cream flavors after liberal causes, hasn't ruled out the idea of retailing "Hubby Hubby" in the future. “The legalization of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction, and something worth celebrating with peace, love - and plenty of ice cream,” Ben & Jerry’s CEO explained.

What do you think of yet another Ben & Jerry's political move? If you're motivated to buy products for reasons other than taste, would you be more likely to buy a pint if it were renamed "Hubby Hubby"?

Something Blue For the Expectant Wedding Guest

LilSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:00:00 -0700

What is cooler than sporting a shade of blue for Summer weddings? While it's easy to blend in by slipping on a black dress, expectant mamas should strut style and their burgeoning bellies in beautiful hues. Take a cue from the wedding theme, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" and select a stunning azure gown that will have fellow guests doing double takes. With dresses available in all shades from blueberry to midnight and flattering maxi, empire, wrap and tank styles – the only hardship you'll have is finding equally stunning, comfortable shoes!

Would You Say "I Do" to a Pop-Up Wedding?

TresSugar — Thu, 07 May 2009 08:30:00 -0700

Who doesn't love pop-up books? Or Pop-Up Video? So why not a pop-up wedding chapel? In the spirit of pop-up retail, wherein trendy stores materialize for a matter of days or weeks then vanish, an event space in Brooklyn called 303Grand is turning itself into a wedding emporium for a limited time only.

Starting June 1, the "experiential wedding showcase" will feature different weekly themes, including stationery and gifts the first week and dresses, makeup and hair the second. Then, on June 25, 303Grand will turn into a full-fledged wedding chapel for a week, hosting ceremonies for 10 couples. (Two couples will win a wedding and honeymoon free of charge.)

Given, you'd have to turn on a dime with your wedding planning, but this could be a very cute venue to tie the knot. Would you have your wedding in a pop-up chapel? What if you could get hitched and honeymoon for free?
