Simply Fab: Band-Aid Blister Block Stick

BellaSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:44:33 -0700

Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention! It's the end all be all excuse for buying ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable shoes. Ahh, and this also happens to be great for your wedding day because let's face it: you can't really break in your wedding shoes without running the risk of getting them dirty!

This new product is an invisible shield that you swipe over the areas on your feet where you would normally get a blister. It actually looks kinda like a deodorant stick. The emollient coats and protects the skin from being rubbed raw by the friction of your stiff shoe. And, because it's invisible, it's safe to wear with open toe shoes and it isn't messy so it won't damage your shoes.

Blisters 911

The best thing to hit your feet since the pedicure! Band-Aid's miracle cushioned "Blister Block" bandage can be worn on heels and toes to prevent new blisters from forming. If you're about four hours too late for those, the "Advanced Healing Blister" product protects and heals the blisters already there.

Since we know you don't really want to buy "practical" shoes, these little bits of padded heaven might just be a lifesaver on those Carrie Bradshaw SATC stiletto days!

Fab's Going To Fashion Week! My Style Survival Kit

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 05:00:33 -0700

The countdown to New York Fashion week has officially begun! So obviously I'm super excited. What's more, Fab will be a guest blogger on ELLE.com! For real. This is big time ladies - and you'll have to check me out over there! While some of you are helping to conjure up some fabulous looks for me, I thought I could enlist your help in more pre-fashion week preparedness.

I have been gathering some survival items the past couple weeks and I just made a trip to the drugstore to stock up on some more. I thought it would be fun to share but also, let me know if I'm forgetting anything! As for my fashion week wardrobe and packing - stay tuned!

Here's what you see:

Adora dark chocolate calcium supplements; healthy and chocolatey snacks!
Good 'ol Emergen C (orange flavor).
FabSugar Look Book cards to help spread the word and promote Fabarrazi!
Band-Aids. Though I'm bringing mostly comfy (cute) shoes, it will be hot & humid and I'll be on the go = prime blister situation.
My new leopard print MZ Wallace tote! I wanted something big enough to carry my life around in, but something that would stand out in the sea of fashionistas.
My Miu Miu specs. Here's a Fab secret: I'm near-sighted.
Band-Aid Blister Block. Can you tell I've suffered from blisters before? They're the worst!
Cliff bars, Stride gum, Airborne, YSL lip gloss - all necessary to keep Fab going, and going, and going.
My Bottega Veneta business card case/wallet...in my signature color! And a hefty box of FabSugar business cards.
Last but not least, facial blotters. Again, signature color (no, I did not plan that).

Fab's New York Fashion Week Top 10

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 04:00:33 -0700

As the New York Fashion Week adrenaline has subsided, and another Emmys has come and gone, I finally had a few minutes to reflect...poolside. Here are some deep thoughts and a fun summation of my recent New York Fashion Week experience. In the end, there were fashion highs and lows, but I survived and boy was it fun.

Most Fab moment? Running around backstage at Alexander Wang! I found myself lost in a wonderland of models (who were illegally smoking in the stairwells!), pre-show buzz and I almost got Wang for an interview for you guys - Vogue stole him away!
Most Fab show? Betsey Johnson. Through my career I have made several attempts to attend a Betsey Johnson show and this was the first time it worked out. I had a Fab seat, in the second row, and the show was super fun and festive. Her political message (see collage) encouraging the fashionable audience to "Vote" was the icing on the BJ cake.
Most awesome celebrity sighting? Repeated sightings of the insanely handsome Nigel Barker, Ivanka Trump (I just love her), and Nicole Richie; both Ivanka & Nicole were at Max Azria.
Hottest handbag sighting: A maroon and black patent Balenciaga tote.
Most Fab pair of shoes spotted: Not that I would wear them, but these Burberry studded platforms, $940, are so badass in person; an Editor from ELLE was wearing them.
Number of Anna Wintour sightings: 4. Once standing solo on the sidewalk (gasp!).
Item I really want to buy (and can maybe afford) come Spring: The grey melange tailored coat I featured by Rebecca Taylor.
Thank god for my...Band-Aid blister block and BlackBerry Pearl!
Best goodie bag item: The most expensive face cream I've ever tried, that is questionably all the rage: Amatokin Anti-Wrinkle Face Creme. And yes, I will be sure to share a pea-sized amount with Bella.
Three favorite shows overall, fashion-wise: If I had to choose...3.1 Phillip Lim, J. Mendel and Rachel Comey.

Until February!
