Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Novogratzes' New Family Collection For CB2

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 23 May 2012 11:11:48 PDT

They've been called "the coolest family in the world," but for Bob and Cortney Novogratz, just being family is enough. The stars of HGTV's Home by Novogratz and mom and dad to seven kids ranging from 3 to 15 have made family their mantra and are now putting it on their designs. The founders of Sixx Design have partnered up with CB2 for a line of products, aptly named FAMILY, that reflect their signature style. According to Bob, "We came up with the idea of FAMILY a long time ago. Maybe six, seven years ago we got some light boxes and made the letters ourselves. We have a big family, so we thought we should really create a family brand, because we didn't feel like there was anything out there like that."

The first piece, a colorful rug emblazoned with the word FAMILY that appeared on the show last season, will be available at CB2 stores and online in July (starting at $399). We were invited to the Novogratzes' home along NYC's Hudson River as the family posed with the rug for CB2's Summer catalog. With Justin Bieber and Fun blasting on the stereo, Cortney negotiated her teenagers' wardrobe issues, separated bickering twins, and goaded all seven kids into smiling for the camera (and yes, plenty of jellybeans and promises to play with her iPhone were used). Between shots, Bob discussed the collaboration with CB2 and decorating with kids.

Madewell Launches Its First Ever Spring Catalog - and It's Just as Good as We Thought It Would Be

Hannah Weil — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 05:30:40 PST

There's a sweet story inside Madewell's Spring catalogue - OK, there's more than one style narrative we love in this batch of looks. The brand's latest is a collection of early Spring inspiration that speaks to the cornerstones of our wardrobe and the label's spot-on eye for styling. First, we're whisked off to Paris, where denim takes the spotlight in every easy iteration - '70s flares, the quintessential denim jacket. From there, Madewell zeroes in on two of our favorite trends with its must-have neutrals and playful prints. It's all inside the brand's first-ever Spring catalog. Read on for our key takeaways, then click through for a glimpse of all the covetable looks.

We love that this easy tank also speaks to this season's sporty trend. It's an incredibly versatile topper that would look just as easy against '70s-style denim as it would with silky track pants.
This sweater dress is transitional dressing made easy. Finish it off with a lightweight jacket and ballet flats or ankle boots for easy day-to-day style till the weather officially warms up.
This silky popover will become a Spring to Summer staple. Trust us, it'll work just as well at the office as it will at the beach.

Katie Henry — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:29:12 PST

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was back in another sexy bikini in Miami yesterday, enjoying a beautiful day lounging by the pool. She was briefly joined by her boyfriend, Jason Statham, who greeted her with a loving hug. Jason and Rosie capped off 2011 with a loved-up afternoon at their Florida luxury resort and it seems their romantic gestures are carrying into the new year.

Rosie and her fellow Victoria's Secret Angels are prepping to shoot the annual Summer catalog. It's likely we'll see Rosie, Miranda Kerr, Erin Heatherton, and Chanel Iman modeling a rainbow of swimwear in the weeks to come; however supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio may not be able to join in the fun, since she's expecting her second child this Spring.

Artists and DIYers Transform the Ubiquitous White Lawn Chair

Elka Karl — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 05:00:00 PDT

In any town, nearly anywhere across the world, you're likely to come across the ubiquitous white plastic lawn chair. This monoblock design can be stacked, left out in the rain, easily transported, and used for a variety of outdoor events, from tailgating to backyard parties. That said, it's a chair that I am endlessly tired of looking at - and I'll admit, there are a couple of these chairs hanging out in our basement. Given that we're into the Summer season, you can guarantee that you'll see many of these chairs around your neighborhood. If you're tired of looking at them, take heart. I've been wowed by the ways that artists and DIYers have taken inspiration from this rather uninspiring chair (you can see many of the redesigns lovingly cataloged on Functional Fate). Here are some of my favorites, from both the worlds of high art and everyday DIY.
