CelebStyle Giveaway: See It. Want It. Get It.

PopSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:30:22 -0700

Have you ever watched an episode of Gossip Girl and thought, "Ugh, I love Blair's headband, where'd she get it?!" Or "If only I knew what necklace Serena was wearing, I'd buy it in droves." If you've had these thoughts, then you're in luck. Not only have we introduced a new site, CelebStyle, that has the complete wardrobe notes on Gossip Girl and more, we're also launching a giveaway to get a bunch of the GG goodies for free.

From now until Sunday, Oct. 26, you can enter to win items from an assortment of accessories from the set of GG. We've got headbands from JoomiNYC and Jennifer Behr, necklaces from Margo Morrison, and bracelets from Ronni Simon, Rachel Leigh, and CC Skye. To enter, all you have to do is log into TeamSugar (if you're not a member, register now) and add a look of your own to any post on CelebStyle (see how after the jump). There will be 12 winners in total, and you'll be entered for every look you create so there are plenty of chances to win! Be creative and check out the official rules here.

To learn how to add a look, read more.

1. Click into any story on CelebStyle.com.
2. Once there, under the picture you'll find a series of tags and several ways to play: you can comment, send an email, become a fan of the look ("love this"), or add a look of your own. Click either "add a look" to get started.

3. On the next screen you'll be prompted to create a look. First, click on the "add image or product" button.

4. Now a new window will pop up. Leave the tab in "search shopstyle" and type a product description in for the item you're looking for (e.g. if you're looking for a black turtleneck, type in "black turtleneck.").

5. Once you've found the perfect item, click on the product and it will show up on your look page.

6. Repeat for every item that you'd like to include in your look.
7. When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "save look." Your look will now show up with the editor's look on the CelebStyle story (and you'll be entered into the contest!).

The Hills Tech Quiz: Episode Nine, "Hi Lauren, It's Spencer. . ."

GeekSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:46:46 -0700

Time to shed a tear (or two) because next week is The Hills season finale and it will be the last time we see the person that started it all - Lauren! This week's episode had Stephanie, Heidi, and even Spencer, trying to persuade Lauren to attend the big wedding and a few awkward run ins with ex-bosses and jealous girlfriends. Much more tech than last week, so let's see how well you were watching when you take my weekly tech quiz! And don't forget to check out CelebStyle for all of the fashion trends from the show!

The Hills Tech Quiz: Episode Eight, "Father of the Bride"

GeekSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 11:00:00 -0700

Lots of lessons learned on last night's episode of The Hills! Stephanie and Audrina realized that band boys are major players and Lauren learned that mixing business with pleasure may not be the smartest thing to do. I loved the cameo by Heidi's dad Bill (who regularly dropped the word "shotgun" to keep Spencer in line) and it looks like wedding bells will be ringing soon in an upcoming episode for Heidi and Spencer. Sadly, the episode didn't deliver in the tech department, but I've got a few questions for this week's tech quiz! And don't forget to check out CelebStyle for all of the fashion trends from the show!
