Song of the Day: David Bowie, "Ashes to Ashes"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 10:06:20 PST

David Bowie turns 60 today, officially making him one of the smoothest sexagenarians on the planet. Sure, he's looking a bit rough around the edges, but in his poise, style, and performance, he's a great example of how rock stars can grow old gracefully.

To celebrate, I've dug up this contemplative and self-reflective track from Bowie's 1980 album, Scary Monsters. (Fun fact: Bowie shares a birthday with Elvis, so you should also feel free to celebrate with an Elvis classic.)

FabSugar — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 03:14:27 PDT

This super-chic look from RT player AmberAsh is the definition of workday polish: she tucked a gray v-teck tee into a black, high-waisted pencil skirt, then added a cropped cardigan with fun, feathery puff sleeves. Her quilted bag is classic, and the ankle-strap sandals add a bright pop of color.

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Top: Gap

Trendspotting: Leather Pants + Pumped Up Kicks

Hannah Weil — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:30:32 PST

Maybe they just needed a break after the killer heels in last week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show - can you blame them? - but Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr, along with Anne Hathaway's slick leather pants and pumped up kicks have launched one of our new favorite looks. Upping the cool factor of both leather and covetable, sporty-fresh footwear from Isabel Marant (on Anne and Miranda) and Ash (on Alessandra), these ladies make a pretty convincing case for ditching sky-high heels and opting for something a little more laid-back. Not that we need a whole lot of convincing to give our tootsies a break, but as these celebs prove, this particular combination results in some seriously enviable street style. Just shop our editor's picks to find your perfect leather pants-and-high-top pairing.

Annie Tomlin — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:00:04 PDT

The models above have gorgeous, velvety brown hair. And if you guessed that this color came from hours in an expensive salon chair, you'd be wrong. Colorist Marie Robinson colored their hair for the Spring 2012 Naeem Khan show with Clairol Perfect 10 (some of which she picked up at a nearby drugstore during a last-minute run). "Coloring hair at home isn't as scary as people think," she says. "A lot of people don't realize how easy it can be." Here are the dos and don'ts of unboxing your color.
