Beauty Mark It Results: Poolside Beauty

BellaSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 14:57:27 PDT

Another Memorial Day day has come and gone, and I hope that you had a relaxing weekend enjoying the warm weather. While we won't have another three-day weekend until July (sad!), the importance of shielding your skin from the elements is important every day of the year, especially during the hot Summer months. Because this is such an important beauty necessity, I requested that you find protective beauty items that you'd wear by the pool.

Team member aimeeb really rose to the challenge. She bookmarked Sephora's Sun Safety Kit. What I love about this particular kit is that it combines 11 different brands' best sun protection products into one travel-size pouch. Bonus that it has a UV indicator card. Even better is that Sephora is donating 100% of the profits from this kit to The Skin Cancer Foundation.

Poolside Attire: Swimwear and Coverups Under $50

OnSugar Blog — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 11:23:35 PDT

OnSugar blogger Beauty and the Budget shows us that looking chic poolside needn't cost a fortune. Her Summer-ready swim and coverup choices are so excellent, we had to share.
As the Memorial Day festivities have drawn to a close, you're probably all hyped up about the forthcoming summer! But until you take your big summer vacay, you might be spending most of your weekends lounging poolside. When you're hanging out by the pool with your friends, you're probably going to spend more time working on your tan rather than swimming in the water. A two piece swimsuit (preferably with a strapless bandeau top) is the perfect option to getting the perfect summer tan without too many visible tan lines. Of course, you'll also need a chic coverup, like a kaftan or loose fitting chiffon coverup. So what are the most fashionable pieces for soaking up the sun for under $50? Take a look at the pieces above in B's Swimwear Guide Exclusive! Clockwise from top left: Topshop burnout caftan, $48; Target polka-dot top, $18; Tilly's bikini bottom, $35; The Sak woven bag, $19; Asos coverup, $44; Full Tilt bikini top, $28; Anthropologie bikini bottoms, $50; Wet Seal sandals, $13.

Miranda Kerr Talks Motherhood and Her Bombshell Status at a Victoria's Secret Soiree

Lindsay Miller — Thu, 12 May 2011 01:07:00 PDT

Miranda Kerr looked lovely as she played host at a Victoria's Secret's Bombshell Beauty event held inside LA's Mondrian hotel yesterday afternoon. The supermodel and new mom rocked a blue suede minidress and heels by Balenciaga for the poolside party. We were on hand for the festivities and had a chance to talk to the Australian-born beauty. Miranda told us the one thing that really caught her off guard about motherhood was just how painful labor was! She also chatted about what a great dad Orlando Bloom is to their son, Flynn, and talked about keeping busy with her baby by her side. Miranda has been doing lots of traveling with the two men in her life lately. She headed to Paris to model for Balenciaga in March, looking better than ever less than two months after giving birth, then went to NYC with Orlando late last month for the Tribeca Film Festival and Met Ball. Miranda has been busy with her duties as a spokesperson, but she said she and Orlando plan to take a getaway to her native country for a fun vacation soon. Stay tuned to PopSugar TV today to see our full interview with Miranda!

PopSugar — Thu, 12 May 2011 10:14:00 PDT

Miranda Kerr sat down with Conan O'Brien last night as part of her media tour for Victoria's Secret's Bombshell Beauty collection. She talked about what it means to be confident in your own skin, also touching on the birth of her son, Flynn, and how well Orlando Bloom is taking to fatherhood. Miranda opened up about her husband and infant earlier in the day at a poolside party for Victoria's Secret, where she showed off her sexy postbaby body in Balenciaga. The new mom seems thrilled to chat up Flynn and her family life, and she even shared a hilarious story on the late-night show about not letting Orlando leave her side once during her 27 hours in labor.

Miley Cyrus Snags a New Studio City Home - Take a Private Tour!

Julia Walsh — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:20:00 PDT

Miley Cyrus has scooped up a new place to have a party in the USA. The teen star recently dropped $3.9 million on a remodeled midcentury modern home on a secluded estate in the hills above Studio City, CA - just a hop, a skip, and a jump away from Walt Disney Studios, where she earned her claim to fame. The 5,172-square-foot home boasts five bedrooms and six-and-one-half baths, all armed with a state-of-the-art security system.

The most stellar feature of Cyrus's new ranch-style home is its H-shaped floor plan which sprawls across the landscaped property, creating privacy and great views for each area. There's even a separate, yet connected, guest unit on the other side of the two-car garage. At the center of it all is an expansive living room with hardwood floors, which opens up via floor-to-ceiling windows to a beautifully landscaped backyard with breathtaking panoramic views of lush canyons and a solar-heated pool and modern pavilion for poolside, al fresco dining. It's got party written all over it.

The house is a prime example of midcentury modern architecture that's been effectively and successfully updated with all the latest amenities - imported Bertazzoni range, Rohr faucets, Walker Zanger tiles, and Cesar Stone countertops - while respecting and celebrating the original design. I'm sure that's what Miley was thinking when she bought it, right?

Come take a private tour of Miley's killer new pad, and tell me what you think!

Put a Twinkle in Your Eye With Sparkly Blue Shadow

Jaime Richards — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:56:41 PDT

As the Fourth of July approaches, you might want to think twice before doing a beauty palette consisting solely of red, white, and blue shades. But what you might want to consider is capturing the essence of the holiday with sparkly blue eye makeup. At Salvatore Ferragamo's recent resort show, Freida Pinto looked stunning wearing a shimmery blue shadow. It's a combination that will take you from a poolside party to a night on the town. And besides, blue brightens the eyes in an instant, especially when formulated with light-reflecting particles. Shop the widget below to add a bit of sparkler action to your makeup bag.

Rachel Zoe's Beach Bag Essentials

Rachel Zoe — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:25:32 PDT

Editor’s note: The following is a guest post written by Rachel Zoe, stylist, fashion designer, and creator of The Zoe Report.

With July just around the corner, the best of summer has yet to come-poolside barbeques, outdoor fêtes and, of course, excursions to the beach! To ensure your fun under the sun is as stylish as possible, I have put together my fave surfside essentials to throw in your bag...after all, you never want to be ill-equipped for a day on the sand.

First and foremost on my list? Sun protection! Never leave home without an a-mah-zing pair of oversized shades, a woven sunhat and sunscreen stick. Next, I recommend shutting it down in a printed sarong and espadrille sandals for a seriously chic and breezy look. Of course, you can't forget to bring along some key accessories too-an iPad for entertainment, blotting papers to keep fresh and a bold beach towel for high-fashion lounging. Way fun! Now, go soak up the beautiful summer sunshine while it lasts! xoRZ
