Fab Tip: Boots Minus Blisters
There are certain boots you can't wear with socks. You know, the ones that make your socks slip off with every step. I recently experienced this with a new pair of taupe suede boots that are the same length as these Bottega Veneta Cutout Suede Ankle Boots ($1,090).
Fab Tip: Vodka-Infused Cleanliness
I recently got a tour of the backstage at the San Francisco Opera. Fab-u-lous. The drama, the behind-the-scenes action, the velvet, lace, beading.
Fab Tip: Lacquer Those Jewels
Nail polish is created to color nails — we all know this. But that's not its sole purpose. Have you ever considered using nail polish to liven up your jewels?
Fab Tip: Resole Your Brand New Shoes
Geppetto, the local shoe cobbler, and I have a very special relationship. See, I take my weathered, beat-up, neglected shoes to him and he magically turns them back into the beautiful creations they used to be before I exposed them to life's harsh elements. Such handiwork costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it.
Fab Tip: Squeaky Clean Your Patent
It had been a while since I last popped into Yves Saint Laurent, so I just took another Fab field trip. I'm so glad I did because besides leaving with a brand new patent wallet (yay!) — a smaller, gray version of this Yves Saint Laurent Belle De Jour Wallet ($575) — I also left with a helpful tip on how to squeaky clean patent.
Want to know what that tip is?
Fab Tip: Keep Your Jewels Travel-Friendly
It's so nice to escape the mundaneness of life by taking a vacation. But, sometimes, that's no easy feat. Besides having to book plane tickets, hotels, and figure out activities, we women have to figure out how to take our clothes and accessories there in one piece.
Fab Tip: Pit Stains No More
A friend of mine recently complained that her new James Perse top, much like this James Perse Slouch Fleece Top ($165), was ruined by yellow pit stains. Sucks. Pit stains are ugly, but they're not the end of the world.
Fab Tip: Turn Your Tube Into a Mini
It's safe to say most of you loved Anja Rubik's saucy look in the Giuseppe Zanotti Spring '09 ads. A few even wanted to wear her sequin miniskirt. More power to you.
Fab Tip: Play Shoulder Peek-a-Boo
The peek-a-boo effect always gets me. It's the ideal way to look sexy while retaining mystique. My favorite area to show off?
Simply Fab: Cityclips Pant Protector
Those us who have ever lived in a snowy or rainy city know there's nothing more annoying than wet pant cuffs. Since we can't constantly lug around heavy boots in our bags, having Cityclips Pant Protectors handy is a smarter alternative.
You can buy the plain style ($8) or ones with all kinds of fancy buttons ($35).
