Tune In! The Lazy Environmentalist Greens Up Dog Grooming

PetSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:40:00 -0700

Follow host Josh Dorfman on a quest to save the planet - "one wasteful couch potato at a time" - with his new show The Lazy Environmentalist! Premiering tonight (June 16, 9 p.m.) on the Sundance Channel, the premise is that most people would live an earth-friendly lifestyle. . . . if it were as easy and cost effective as their current choices.

For the first episode, Josh tackles dog grooming and suggests these two natural products. I've seen that facial ($17) before and turns out the blueberries naturally brighten white fur - counterintuitive, huh? The second product was "neem." Coming from the seeds of a tree found in tropical and semitropical countries like Burma and India, including this botanical pesticide in a shampoo ($14) deters bugs and reduces the risk of resulting dermatitis and infections.

Sale Alert: Sundance Holiday Sale

CasaSugar — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 08:30:00 -0800

Sundance is currently offering up to 60 percent off of its festive holiday décor. So, if you're looking for stockings, ornaments, snow globes, festive hooked pillows, or nostalgic decorative items, Sundance is the place to go. As much as I like the look of CB2's holiday items, considering that Christmas is something that's celebrated year after year (and sometimes we even inherit our parents' holiday decorations), I prefer the classic look of this retailer's holiday décor. I'm loving this super affordable Set of 18 Vintage Jewel-Tone Ornaments ($12), this classic White Tree Hooked Pillow ($48), and for some odd reason, this kitschy Five Foot Santa Lawn Light ($49).

Casa Verde: Cameron and Cameron Talk (and Walk) Green

CasaSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:00:31 -0800

I have yet to catch an episode of Sundance's Iconoclasts series, which pairs celebrities or leading innovators from two different industries to chat about their passions and creative processes. But, after seeing some clips of season four, which couples long-time environmental advocate Cameron Diaz and Architecture for Humanity cofounder Cameron
Sinclair, I think I've been wooed. This season, the series follows the two to New Orleans and Biloxi, MS, to take in the environmental impact of Hurricane Katrina. While Diaz may be an eco-conscious gal, she's not exactly an expert, so Sinclair, whose global organization works to find sustainable architectural solutions to humanitarian crises, is really the force in this pairing. It's refreshing to see him getting some face time and interesting to hear his perspective on an environment which has been so monumentally devastated.

To see a clip of this show, read more.

I'm curious now if anyone over at Sundance has a personal connection to New Orleans and a strong interest in architecture. If you remember, the network also has a series called Architecture School, which follows a group of students from Tulane University's prestigious School of Architecture as they compete for the chance to design an affordable home in Katrina-devastated New Orleans. Regardless, I'm happy to see that both Sinclair and the city of New Orleans are receiving some attention.

This Just In: Sundance's Architecture School Premieres Tonight

CasaSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:00:56 -0700

Tonight at 8 p.m. (CDT), the Sundance channel will premiere an original six-part documentary series, Architecture School, which follows a group of students from Tulane University's prestigious School of Architecture as they compete for the chance to design an affordable home in Katrina-devastated New Orleans. The winning model will be built during the school year and put on the market, giving one recent grad one whopping résume bullet point at the start of his career. Stiff competition! The home will be built as part of Tulane University's URBANbuild program, which was founded in 2005 to restore urban neighborhoods as a response to the storm. Executive Producer Michael Selditch was so inspired by Tulane University's URBANbuild program that he designed and built the show specifically around the 3-year-old program. Tune in tonight to see for yourself!

Crave Worthy: Sundance Steamer Trunk Coffee Table

CasaSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:00:04 -0800

The Sundance Steamer Trunk Coffee Table ($1895) is inspired by turn of the century steamer trunks from a more romantic era. It features riveted oak banding, leather reinforced seams, sturdy leather handles, and canvas-lined three drawers for ample storage. You can choose from top grain leather or stainless steel, but the industrial glow of the stainless steel is certainly hard to resist. This isn't a dinky coffee table that you can put your feet on for two years; it's built to last, and the price reflects that. It's also a classic design, which will never go out of style, though it is meant for a more casual living room, or "den." So if you've got stiff, silk-upholstered Louis XIV accent chairs and a velvet Victorian setee in your living room, then this probably isn't for you. Still it's a bit difficult for me to contemplate dropping two grand on a table, regardless of whether or not it's a good investment.

Celebrity Style: Charlize Theron

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Sundance is still rolling along, and last night it brought out a face we haven't seen in a while: Charlize Theron. The actress walked the red carpet for her new movie, Sleepwalking, in an olive cowl-neck dress and black leather boots. Her look, black trench coat included, is very cold-weather appropriate and cool. Does anyone else think her new short hairstyle makes her look a bit like Kylie Minogue?

Alice & Olivia safari jersey v-neck 70's belted dress - $132.00	Linea Pelle black wide sectioned waist belt - $134.00
Charles David Charles by Charles David black stretch 'Enchanting' wedge boots - $98.99	DKNY Wool Blend Trench Coat - $248.00
ASSETS® by Sara Blakely® Terrific Tights - Black - $9.80	1/10 Carat Diamond Stud 14K White Gold Earrings - $75.00
Francesco Biasia Iron Asia Clutch - $368.00

The Sundance Film Festival is to BuzzSugar what New York Fashion Week is to Fab. Buzz and Molly are in Utah getting their fill of cool flicks and celebs. Since this is a major event, I asked you to help our girls dress the part. It's really cold and snowy there, so I started you off with this Splendid Cheetah Print Thermal Top ($61). Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by fashionhore, is cozy chic. What I love is that she dared to put the girls in a skirt, despite the cold!

2008 Sundance Fashionistas

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

The icy grounds of Park City, Utah don't exactly compare to the sleek red carpet, but that didn't stop fashion-loving celebrities from showing up and bundling up in the cutest of coats and boots at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. A slew of heavily layered stars show us how they keep warm without having to sacrifice their personal style.

GenArt & Delta Team Up For Sundance Shorts

Molly — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 11:02:20 -0700

Think you'll never have a chance to get to Sundance? Well, if you're into making shorts this is your lucky day. For the second year, GenArt and Delta airlines are teaming up for a short film competition, "Delta's Fly-In Movies." Filmmakers are invited to submit short films into the contest and five finalists' movies will be shown on Delta flights and flown out to the Sundance Film Festival where the winner will be announced and awarded $10,000 and a pair of round-trip plane tickets.

Viewers on both the selected transcontinental Delta flights as well as online (where the finalists' films will be available) will be able to vote for the winner. I'll probably end up catching the films online, but the inflight viewing idea is great. Considering the impulse to watch whatever an airline is showing, no matter how insipid, the thought of watching a few short films sounds like the perfect way to cut the boredom on a lengthy cross-country flight. Very cool. If you're interested in learning more, check out the full set of rules and regulations here. Thanks to Cinematical for the heads up on this competition!

Trend Alert: Wide Legged Jeans!

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 14:21:44 -0800

Wahoo! As I predicted, the skinny jean backlash has begun and wide legged jeans are on the rise. Don't get me wrong - I have warmed up to the skinny silhouette, but I am a 70's girl at heart and love the elongating look of a wide legged pant. Also, I am tall so it makes my legs look super long. But for non-tall gals, it created a long, lean look so really, this is good news for all. With New York Fashion week officially under way, I wonder how many wide legs we're going to see on the runways for Fall 2007. Here is Mandy Moore from this week's Life & Style wearing some fab flares at the Sundance Film Festival.
