If Money Weren't an Issue . . .

. . . would you decorate your bed with this Dollar Teddy Bear ($1,250)? It's sewn entirely out of genuine US dollar bills!

Love It or Hate It? Teddy Bear Lamp

CasaSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:00:04 PDT

The Suck UK Teddy Bear Lamp (coming soon), a soft toy bear with a lamp for a head, brings back memories to me of my siblings beheading my favorite stuffed animals and Barbie dolls as a kid. It's a cheeky design, but I'm too sentimental to keep it in my home. What do you think?

The Fuzzy Wuzzy Teddy Bear USB Drive

GeekSugar — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:00:15 PDT

I'm all for crazy USB drives, but a headless teddy bear might be a tad over the top. Imagine sitting in a packed internet café and someone pulls out this cute plush toy, rips its head off and sticks its butt in the side of their laptop? Definitely an interesting conversation starter to say the least! Featured on The Raw Feed, this unique flash drive would probably be better used as a cell phone charm in Japan and not so much a practical USB drive in the U.S. To check out more Flickr pictures of this teddy in action, click here. Unfortunately for all you takers, I perused the net but couldn't seem to find where they are sold- such a shame!

How to Make Money Off Your Breakup

LearnVest — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:15:30 PST

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy!

When you break up with someone, should you return any gifts?

Not according to Never Liked It Anyway, where those unlucky in love can sell mementos of failed relationships and divulge the dirt behind the gift.

And it’s not just teddy bears and uneaten chocolates - disenchanted lovers are selling wedding dresses, rings, weekend wedding packages, and anything else adding to their baggage (including the baggage itself). All for a substantial discount.

Someone Loved It Once

Part store and part advice column, the site calls itself “the place where once-loved gifts from once-loved partners get a second chance.” Instead of just facilitating a sale, it also provides a space for the seller’s story.

Never Liked It Anyway was founded by a woman who made it through a major breakup herself and recognized the benefit of cleaning out her closet . . . and profiting in the process.

For us (admittedly not in the throes of a violent parting of ways), the site raises two questions:

Is It Hilarious or Sad?

We’re happy to see the sellers get revenge (or at least revenue) after their heartbreak. But so many of the confessions in the Tell It section (in which users spill but don’t sell) are stories of men doing horrible things and women in horrible situations. The headline “NICE BOOTS BAD GUY” made us laugh . . . but the person who got dumped while her mother was dying broke our hearts.

Is It Cost-Effective or Cursed?

From a consumer's view, it’s a great deal! Over $1,000 off a Tiffany wedding band? It sounds too good to be true. And maybe it is. If you believe in karma, acquiring trinkets from failed relationships just might doom you to the same fate. Then again, wedding dresses for 40 percent off!

Just in case you’re gearing up for your own nuptials and aren’t concerned about the whole karma thing, we’ve put together a wedding plan, using only items from the site.

The Keys

The seller puts the problem with this ring pretty clearly in the title: "Key Ring, Not an Engagement Ring."

Real World Price: $125
Breakup Price: $60

A Dash of Sparkle and Glitter at CES

Kelly Schwarze — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:23:58 PST

CES is a tech conference, not a disco, but we certainly saw enough shimmering gadget accessories to have us temporarily seeing double (and dancing). Gone is the customized crystal craze of years past, and in its place are mass-produced phone and tablet covers that are anything but subtle.

Want your iPhone to wear a sparkling smiley face and a 3D crystal bow? Boom, done. Along with a teddy bear on a field of crystals and an ombre sunset. Take a look at the products that twinkled in our eye and purchasing information in the gallery, because a phone's life is too short for a plain case.

OnSugar Blog: 5 Must Haves For a Clean, Stylish, Happy Baby and Mommy

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 03:15:36 PDT

Lots of moms and mommies-to-be like to think out loud, and Nicole Pearl, the Beauty Girl is one of them. She recently posted about her favorite products for baby and mom on her The Beauty Girl blog.

It's only Tuesday and it's already been a big week of celeb news: Kim K's divorcing and Jessica Simpson's having a baby! Breakups suck, but personal experience proves they make you stronger. Babies, on the other hand, are the biggest gift of love. I can't believe my little man Rex is already 8 weeks old! I admit, the past couple of months have been grueling between the sleepless nights and never-ending bouts of spit up. But they've also been the most rewarding, magical moments of my life.

Jessica's announcement got me thinking about how far I've come as a mom. Like, I went from not knowing what a breast pump was to being able to put the parts together in the dark. And the full five minutes it once took me to change a diaper has been shaved down to seconds. In just two months, I've become fluent in baby from gadgets to products. I still have a lot to learn, and I've been grateful to all the moms who have shared their tips with me. Now, it's my turn to pay it forward. I've listed a few of my favorite finds (more installments to come!). Hopefully these will come in just as handy for baby Simpson and all the future tots-to-be.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash: After washing Rex's hair and body with this, he smells just like a baby should - fresh, clean and yummy all at once. I've been sent a lot of baby bath products from a bunch of different companies and will report back on the others as I give them a try.

Kicky Pants, Ralph Lauren and Splendid onesies: A onesie is the baby equivalent of a dress. Just slip it on and the look is complete. From preppy to hipster, I love dressing Rex up in stylish looks, and I've fallen in love with the fashions from these three brands. Kicky Pants onesies come in fun prints and are made with a bamboo fabric that's so soft, I wish they made clothes for adults. Rex may as well be a model for Ralph Lauren because every other thing he wears is RL baby. From the most precious white nightie to a velour jumper, there's a wealth of adorable options, especially for boys. Splendid wins for creating mini versions of fashions that you'd wear yourself. Like the brand's adult line, the clothes are comfy and cute. Check out Rex in the lower photo with his teddy. He's rocking a Splendid hooded onesie.

Baby Aquaphor: I oil Rex up from head to toe every night. I keep a tub by his changing table and a tube in my diaper bag. I swear by this ointment. It's kept his pretty baby face acne free, has fended off diaper rash and stopped the first signs of cradle cap in its tracks.

Keep reading to see the rest of The Beauty Girl's recommendations.

Cast Your Vote For Best Toddlers & Tiaras Costume

Tara Sharp — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:20:00 PDT

The little girls of Toddlers & Tiaras never cease to fascinate and disturb us, whether they are dressed as a Pretty Woman stripper, wearing boob pads to be Dolly Parton, or retiring from their beauty pageant career at the tender age of six. And we aren't the only ones who find them entertaining (and as Ashley Tisdale shows us, hilarious).

In a twist of irony, several famous adult women dressed as the Toddlers & Tiaras girls - who are really made up to look like miniature adult women - this Halloween. But who nailed the look the best? I think Chrissy Teigen has the pose perfected the best, but Kelly Ripa's over-the-top costume is pretty spot-on. And Fergie had the best accessories with a trophy, banner, and teddy bear. What do you think?

Mulberry Spring 2012

Noria Morales — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:22:37 PDT

Inspired by the British seaside and all the campy fun that comes with it - donkey rides, ice cream, and the inevitable rain that makes great British Summer style synonymous with rain gear. That said, the palette was sweet as candy - literally the colors are named lemon sherbet, candy pink, and marshmallow white. The style is playful, but luxurious - there are raincoats, many of them with oversized silhouettes or super-short lengths and paired with long dresses and skirts. It's a mix and match style that manages to be sporty, but totally feminine thanks to details like lace applique and silky fabrics. Mulberry is known for accessories, and the new travel collection, inspired by vintage steamer trunks, features metal corners and a luggage tag. Inspired by the prizes won along beach-side arcades, Mulberry added teddy rivets and twist locks to the iconic Alexa and Lily style.

Trends: rain gear, short/long proportions, stripes.

Colors: candy twists on soft colors: lemon, candy pink, marshmallow, and fudge.

Key Look: we love the proportion play - short jackets with sweet dresses; also the animal-print dresses are amazing.

Accessories: shoes are woven sandals in mixed leather; the new bag collection is called the Travel Collection. The Alexa bag gets adorned by a mini-teddy bear rivet.

Who Would Wear It: fun, eclectic girls like Kirsten Dunst or Sarah Jessica Parker.
