Can't Wait For Girl Scout Cookies? Try Girl Scout Ice Cream

YumSugar — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 06:58:31 -0800

Those of you who love Girl Scout Cookies will be happy to know that many of your local Girl Scout troops are taking pre-orders now. The cookies are traditionally sold in early March, but for those of you that can't wait, I spied the seasonal Dryer's/Edy's Girl Scout cookie ice creams at my local Safeway. For a few months only, the ice cream giant produces three flavors of ice cream infused with Girl Scout cookies. My personal favorite is the Samoas, which is Samoas cookies in Caramel Ice Cream with Fudge. However there's also Thin Mint - Thin Mint Cookies in Chocolate Mint Ice Cream - and Tagalongs - Peanut Butter Patties combined with vanilla ice cream and swirls of peanut butter and fudge.

Actually now that I've listed them out, I can't decide! How about you, which flavor do you want to try, and do you think they'll curb your Girl Scout Cookie cravings?

Dreyer's/Edy's Unveil Their New Season of American Idol-Themed Ice Cream

YumSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:13:31 -0800

Just in time for the new season of American Idol, the folks at Dreyer's/Edy's have released their "second season" of American Idol flavors. They're urging their customers to check out all five Idol-themed Slow Churned Light flavors, and then vote for their favorite. This year the flavors are:

Cheesecake Diva - cheesecake ice cream, brownie bites, and fudge swirls
Cookies 'n' Dreamz - chocolate ice cream with crunchy chocolate cookies
Mint Karaoke Cookie - mint ice cream with chocolate cookies
Most Orange-inal - vanilla ice cream with orange sorbet swirls
One Split Wonder - banana ice cream with fruit and fudge swirls

You have until May 31 to vote, but if you cast your vote before April 29, you will be entered in a contest to win a trip to the American Idol finale. The winning flavor will end up in the regular Slow Churned Light lineup.

To get the nation ready for the new flavors, last year's American Idol finalists Melinda Doolittle and Chris Richardson will go on a 20-city tour to perform and sample the flavors. They will actually give private living-room tours in each city.

Do any of the flavors strike your fancy? I haven't tried any of them yet, but going on names and descriptions only, I'll have to vote for Most Orange-inal. It sounds like a creamsicle in an ice-cream format!

More Almost Free Ice Cream!

YumSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 10:01:08 -0700

Seems like this is the season for Free Ice Cream! This Saturday, May 19, from 1-5 pm all Stop & Shop and Giant Food locations will be offering free scoops of Edy's ice cream. That is free if you donate a dollar to The Jimmy Fund, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center or the Children's Cancer Foundation.

"This promotion brings new meaning to 'Triple Winner'," said Stop & Shop and Giant Food President and CEO Jose Alvarez. "By being a part of Free Scoop Day, customers receive a tasty treat and they will get the satisfaction of supporting a terrific cause."

I'm pretty sure all Stop & Shops and Giant Foods are located on the east coast, so no free ice cream for me. If you do go, be sure to get a scoop of the Triple Winner flavor - the limited edition flavor is only available at Stop & Shop & Giant Food stores.

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 08:31:44 -0800

In honor of the much-anticipated release of Factory Girl, with Sienna Miller, if not solely for its movie wardrobe, here is a happening handbag named after the film's heroine. The movie is based on the life of Andy Warhol muse and original 'It' girl Edie Sedgwick - the blazing superstar who came to define both the glamour and the tragedy of our celebrity-obsessed culture. The Edie Large Tote is $675, the medium tote is $575, and it comes in more colors.

Style Icon: Edie Sedgwick

FabSugar — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 01:05:34 -0700

A 1965 fashion spread in Life magazine dubbed her "the girl with the black tights," and Edie Sedgwick wore them with everything, from dressy shift dresses to long t-shirts. So with mod styles and black tights so ubiquitous this fall-not to mention an upcoming biopic called "Factory Girl" starring Sienna Miller as Edie-it seems fitting that the socialite/actress/Factory regular should kick off Fabsugar's new Style Icons feature, where we'll spotlight past and present fashion plates and tell you how to get each one's signature look.

With her cropped platinum hair and dark-lined eyes, Edie Sedgwick defined effortless but edgy mod glamour. The key is pairing simple sheath dresses with bold jewelry, solid-color tights, and basic pumps or flats. Here are the five essential elements you need to get the look.

SHIFT DRESSES

Sneak Peek! Edie Rose For DKNY Jeans

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:00:22 -0700

In anticipation of the official in-store and online launch of Rachel Bilson's Edie Rose for DKNY line, DKNY launched a mini site showcasing the clothes and how you can mix and match them. As Rachel puts it, "The pieces are really wearable which I think is important because you can mix and match from the line." With a mod palette of black, white, and yellow, the clothes have a prissy downtown vibe. One item I have my eye on is the tuxedo jacket with white piping.More details about when the collection will be in stores and online to come. After the jump you can watch a fun video with Rachel behind the scenes at the ad campaign photo shoot. She talks all about her design mantra, where the name Edie Rose comes from, her adoration for Diane Keaton, and her favorite piece from the collection.

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Judgement time is around the corner and Rachel Bilson's pulling out all the stops to make her first venture as a celebrity designer a success. The Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans campaign will feature the star in her own designs.

"Our customer has a real emotional connection with Rachel, and she's always on the best-dressed lists, so it seemed like such a win-win for us. Rachel has real personal style and she is very involved in every step. You can really see that in the collection" said president of DKNY Jeans, Kevin Monogue.

The photo shoot, which was shot in New York by Mikael Jansson, features Bilson and models Fabienne Vanderhaeghen, Regina Feoktistova, and Giedre Dukaskaite against a edgy NYC backdrop. "She was really hands-on with the entire process. She, with the help of stylist Tabitha Simmons, made the clothes come to life in such a youthful, authentic way, which is so true to Rachel's own personal style - always youthful, but appropriate" said the creative director of the shoot, Trey Laird.

The ad campaign will run in the September and October issues of Teen Vogue and Cosmogirl magazines to coincide with the launch of Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans line in September. Look forward to a trendy sportswear collection consisting of tops, sweaters, jackets, tees, dresses, and jeans to be sold at department stores including Macy's and Dillard's.

Primetime Emmy Awards: Edie Falco

FabSugar — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 16:27:39 -0700

My first thought when I saw these pics of Edie Falco on the red carpet was "Why didn't she put on any makeup?" I will leave this analysis to Bella, but just had to share. I am kind of undecided about Edie's red carpet look. It's not amazing, but not awful either. Up close the beading on her dress is pretty. What do you think?
