Box Office: Horton Hears a Lot of Ka-Ching

BuzzSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:30:41 PDT

After shattering 2008 box office records last week, Horton Hears a Who once again took the top spot over this Easter holiday weekend. Variety reports that Good Friday was the strongest day for Dr. Seuss' Horton which took in $25.1 million over the weekend in addition to the movie's opening weekend earnings of $45 million.

Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns also performed well, coming in second place with a respectable $20 million.

Plagued by poor reviews and a lack of promotion for the film, the Judd Apatow-produced Drillbit Taylor earned a disappointing $10.2 million, putting the movie at No. 4 behind the thriller Shutter. Compared to how Apatow's comedies like Knocked Up performed last year, this kind of opening indicates that Apatow's attachment to a project doesn't guarantee box office gold. The top five was rounded out by 10,000 B.C. which dropped several spots from the No. 2 spot it held last week.

This weekend will bring several openings that will likely shake up the box office including Kevin Spacey's 21 and the war drama Stop-Loss.

Look of the Day: Leather and Sequins

Laura Marie Given — Fri, 25 May 2012 03:00:19 PDT

By sticking to simple, structured shapes and lighter shades, Fab reader postgradchic made leather and sequins work for daytime. She paired mint-hued, sequined shorts with a sleek camel-colored leather jacket, then added structure to the romper's blousy top with a brown leather belt. Pink pastel brogues kept the color scheme light and gave the outfit a more casual, summery feel. She chose a leather messenger bag that matched her relaxed style and topped off the look with white retro clubmaster-style sunglasses. The end result? A chic, dressy-meets-rugged mix that would work at any time of day.

Congrats, postgradchic!

Walnut and Marble Mix Marvelously in the New Zaragosa Coffee Table

Elka Karl — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:00:07 PDT

A new offering from New York-based design firm KGB Limited, the Zaragosa coffee table is part of its inspired Spring 2012 line. This chic, substantial, American-made table mixes the classic look of Calacatta marble with gorgeous walnut wood, with the two materials meeting in box joint details on the tabletop.
When asked about the table, KGB Limited told us,"The Zaragosa coffee table is the product of a deepening appreciation of stone and its qualities, gained over the last few years. Several of our pieces utilize single, carved slabs of marble and we also do a lot of custom stonework. We agreed that for our next piece, we wanted to incorporate a second material to juxtapose against the marble. We loved the idea of wood joinery and decided to utilize modern CNC capabilities and laser cutting to create something that we hadn’t seen before: a stone/wood joint."

The effect is breathtaking, with the deep brown hue of the walnut contrasting with the gray marble slab. For more information on this table, check out KGB's offerings online or stop by the Ford Lininger showroom in New York.

Look of the Day: Springtime Stripes

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:00:08 PDT

Fab reader Postgradchic looked super cute in an effortless daytime-chic ensemble. She wore a nautical-inspired navy striped sweater with a pair of bold red cropped trousers. While the vibe is a bit preppy, she mixed it up with cool-meets-quirky Rachel Comey sandals and a boho brown shoulder bag. We think this outfit proves perfect for Spring's transitional dress code.

Congrats Postgradchic!

3 Snacking Habits to Break Now

Prevention — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:08:19 PDT

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Prevention here on FitSugar!

These noshing habits could be the reason your scale is stalled
By Karen Ansel, RD, Prevention

We do it in the car, on the train, in front of the TV, on the phone, and even in bed. For too many of us, snacking has become so automatic that our brains barely register the hand-to-mouth motion. And it's not as if we're all reaching for diet-friendly apples: A 2010 study from the University of North Carolina found that most of us eat nearly 600 calories a day-roughly a third of our food-in snacks rather than meals.

"The business plan of the modern food company has been to put their foods on every street corner, making it socially acceptable to eat 24-7," says David Kessler, MD, former commissioner of the FDA and the author of The End of Overeating (Rodale, 2009).

6 Ways to Stop Overeating

The result has been a nutritional disaster. In their natural state, whole foods may be high in fat or sugar, but they're rarely high in both. Today we have man-made snack foods with a tantalizing combination of fat and sugar rolled into one. "Foods have become so 'hyperpalatable' that they're now capable of hijacking our brains the same way that nicotine and alcohol do," says Ashley Gearhardt, the lead author of a Yale University study on food addiction.

Keep reading to learn how to fix your snacking habits.

Richard Chai Love Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:29:44 PST

Inspired by the idea of "handsome femininity," Richard Chai showed a Fall collection that was simultaneously simple, yet statement-making. “I didn’t want to do anything that was tricky,” Chai told The New York Times. “I didn’t want to create looks that were just for the show. I wanted it to be approachable and believable, but also be really aspirational. At the end of the day, it’s pieces that I want people to wear.” Chai's boy-meets-girl vision was interpreted into gorgeous slim-fit striped trousers, structured oversized blazers and coats, cozy knits, blanket-stripe coats, and moody florals. The latter was cut into diaphanous sheer skirts, corduroy pants, and jackets, adding a feminine streak to his city-slicker style. Furthermore, his outerwear was something to contend with; Chai's selection of oversized structured jackets and coats were perfectly tailored and ideal for topping off just about any Fall look.

Trends: Menswear, painterly florals, blanket stripes, boxy blazers and coats.
Colors: Dark red, pinks, gray, black, navy blue, brown.
Key Piece: We loved the multi-colored blanket-stripe dress and trousers.
Accessories: Black ankle booties and lace-up boots.
Who Would Wear It: Downtown girls looking to add a menswear-inspired touch to their look, like Olivia Palermo.
