Social Media

Between Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, your social media feed is likely on overload. But if you're looking for beauty inspiration and tips, there are a few go-to names you should add to your list. These top experts will provide ideas on everything from applying makeup to new product information galore. Don't forget to follow BellaSugar, too.

If you thought the hula hoop bag shown during Chanel's Spring 2013 show was a one-off exhibition piece, you were wrong. Paris department store Printemps has purchased the oversize runway bag and plans to sell it — and several much smaller versions — next Spring.

Why? The bag was a hit on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter, where users voraciously liked, retweeted, and otherwise shared pictures of it and other unusual Spring runway items, including Céline's "furkenstocks" (double-strap sliders with brightly colored fur footbeds). According to WWD, buyers and retailers are paying an increasing level of attention to what their customers like on social media, because they turn into actual sales.

Claire Distenfeld, owner of Fivestory in New York, said she presold six pairs of flat sandals from Giambattista Valli after posting a picture of them to Instagram. "I always sell a ridiculous amount of product on Instagram and it doesn't stop at jewelry or $850 shoes," she said. "It can be Balmain or big things that you don't put your credit card on the computer to buy but you call the store and order over the phone."

The election is tomorrow; are you ready to pick our next president? If there's one thing both sides can agree on this election season, it's that we're probably all getting tired of the constant politically charged statuses on our social media sites, especially Facebook. But you may be surprised to find out that it's not just the obvious political statements that show our partisan tendencies — even the pages that we "like" say something about who we could be voting for on Election Day. Buzzfeed shared some infographics from a company called Engage that show how what you "like" on Facebook — from favorite books to food chains — give a clue as to your political preferences. Click through to see if your top movies, music, and more match the candidate you'll be voting for tomorrow!

Fashion Month may be over, but the fun hasn't stopped rolling in — but you probably already know that if you follow our Instagram (what, you don't? Do so right away!). This week we started to get sneak peeks at Holiday and Spring collections from designers like Alice + Olivia and Hudson jeans. Back at the FabSugar offices, we tried on some killer Alexander Wang boots and got into the Halloween spirit with DIY fashion pumpkins (think gold and studded instead of your traditional jack-o'-lantern). Finish it off with a party hosted by Alexa Chung, and we had a pretty festive and fashion-filled week.

It's official: Fashion Month has ended, but before we move on, we're recapping all of the fun, fashion, and food from Paris on our Instagram feed (what's that? You don't follow us on Instagram? Follow us right away!). We spotted stylish celebrities at Dior, Chanel, and Valentino, spoke with the woman behind the gorgeous Chanel Spring 2013 pearls, and even had time for a quick trip to Pierre Hermé for a macaron . . . or two. Back in New York, we previewed the Zara Home collection and even got a sneak peek at the new gowns from the Vera Wang David's Bridal collection. Check out all of this and more in our Insta-highlights of the week.
