Online Sales for Different Pocket Books

FitSugar — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 02:30:00 PST

There are a couple of online sales I wanted to alert you all to just in case you are in the market for a good deal. They accommodate different size pocket books, and they both are worthy of attention.

I am going to start with semi couture fitness wear. Stella McCartney's winter line for Adidas is on sale!!!! I really like this super stylish base layer with wicking properties. Check out the Adidas site for more clothes.

To check out the other deal,

An even easier deal to take advantage of, especially if you are on a budget is the iPod Nano arm band on sale at Brandlet.com for only $19.95 (retails at $29.95). Plus free shipping!!!! These bands are great - I got the green one for Christmas. They make running with music so easy and it is nice to have your hands free. If something new helps motivate you to workout, than this just might be what you need.

Thanks to sugar user Pinkrabbit and FabSugar for giving me the heads up. As an old boss of mine used to tell me "Never pay retail."

Amazon Launches A Shoe & Handbag Online Shop!

FabSugar — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 11:12:03 PST

Amazon is making its way into one of our favorite territories: shoes and handbags! Welcome Amazon! They just launched Endless.com, a separate online shop that sells women's shoes and handbags as well as men's and kids' shoes. And the best part? They offer free overnight shipping and free returns. Yeah, I couldn't believe it either but it appears to be true: you just have to order before 7:30PM EST. I'm really curious about this promise and am tempted to buy something just to test it!

The site is very easy to navigate, with a sub-menu on the left that helps you narrow your search. You can narrow your search by color, brand, size, category, price and width - they have everything covered. The designers are a bit limited - no super hot designers - but there are more affordable ones, and they are adding more. For shoes, I noticed Delman, BCBG, Kenneth Cole, Jessica Simpson, Oh Deer! and Tyler by Richard Tyler. While they don't carry high-end designers, this is a great destination to buy basics. You can also select specific designers and search them all as a group. I know I'm going to peruse this site this weekend; come back and tell me what you all think! Here are my picks:

Tyler by Richard Tyler Women's Rumba Open Toe Patent Pump, on sale for $59.89 (originally $124.95).

Hype Florian Medium Hobo, $175.

One more, so

Matiko Women's Nina Heeled Bootie, $139.95.

Top 10 Thrilling 3D Moments in The Avengers

Anna Monette Roberts — Fri, 04 May 2012 07:00:46 PDT

Avengers fans, rest assured, you have every reason to be excited for the film's release on Friday. The visual effects in The Avengers are absolutely stunning, and the 3D rendering draws you straight into the action.

With six superheroes to follow, the action scenes are diverse and gripping, with just the right amount of near-death drama to keep you on the edge of your seat. Explosions galore, flying contraptions, rad weaponry, and battles by air and by sea, there are plenty of jaw-dropping moments thanks to the mastery of Industrial Light & Magic's visual effects. Without giving away any pertinent plot details, here are 10 scenes that 3D and effects fans can look forward to.

The massive security center that secures the tesseract cube implodes during a car chase. As tons of concrete rubble is sucked into the earth, its force nearly drags the cars down too.
The whopping 1,500-foot fleet carrier S.H.I.E.L.D. base transforms into a flying space ship. Just when you think it can't get any cooler, its reflective panels engage, making it disappear.
Thor and Iron Man (arguably the best-looking men on the team) duke it out in the woods, destroying a lot of trees in the meantime. I don't know what's more awesome: seeing Thor's thunderous strength match up against Iron Man's tech-savvy smarts, or the hilarious banter between the two.
It's the moment everyone is anticipating: when will Hulk emerge from Dr. Banner? When Dr. Banner's anger hits a climax, it only takes a few heavy, unnerving breaths before the Hulk roars his way into his monstrous size.
Trapped in a glass capsule, Thor clatters around violently as he plunges 30,000 feet into the Earth. The impact decimates the wilderness around him, yet Thor's quick recovery is glorious.
