Footzyrolls Rollable Flats Are Here to Save Your Feet

FabSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 05:50:22 -0700

I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends scream from the pain caused by uncomfortable heels. Blisters, bubbles, cuts, bruises- they've experienced them all, yet haven't found a solution beyond Band-Aid and toe tape. No more! I am going to gift each of them one of these Footzyrolls Rollable Ballet Flats ($25); they can wear them after a night of heavy-duty dancing. The Footzyrolls take up little room in your purse and come in black, gold, and silver. There's even a white one for brides. Along with the shoe, you also get a bag for your heels and a drawstring pouch for the rollable flats. I'm sold.

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Gogosushi has disheveled chic down. Her torn and tousled ensemble consists of a black sweater layered over a nude shirt dress - very loose and casual. Being the fashion expert she is, the stylista accessorized with a red silk scarf and belt for polished contrast. C-ute.

Here's what she has on:

Shirt dress: Supre
Sweater: Bardot
Belt: Unknown
Scarf: Unknown
Flats: Joanne Mercer

Congrats to gogosushi!

Online Sale Alert! Shoe Clearance at DSW

FabSugar — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:00:08 -0700

I was so excited when I heard DSW opened its virtual doors. While I don't mind hitting up its ginormous store, avoiding the madness is good too. Shoe addicts like myself should definitely check out the clearance section. Start by selecting your size and go from there. It has more footwear than you can possibly imagine.

Feast your eyeballs on this Diba Lainey Leather Ballet Flat ($25, originally $60). It's a little bit quirky thanks to the color, and part classy because of the cut. Quirky ballet flats are my cup of tea. Go find yours.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Dance the Day Away

FabSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 15:30:08 -0700

A friend of mine is in a modern dance group and they're having their recital soon. She invited me to go, and though I'm excited to see her moves, I'm nervous about my outfit. The only other dance recital I've been to was my little cousin's ballet class. I wanted to look dance-inspired but not foolish. Thanks for all of the lovely suggestions. I'm confident that I'll fit right in with the dance crowd in one of these sweet ensembles.

I started you off with this Jennifer Ouellette Headband ($75) because it has a sweet ballet aesthetic that will make me fit in with the dancers.

Look #1, created by kendallina, is soft with a little bit of tough. The thick strap adds a modern interpretation to the girlie ballerina flat.

Look #3, created by hil34, reminds me of something Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl would wear. The slouchy sweater offsets the hard pleats in the skirt. Love those shoes!

Style For Style: Peds Problems Be Gone!

FabSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 09:00:22 -0700

A Fab reader has a dilemma and when a Fab reader has a dilemma, Fab runs to her rescue. Said reader's ped socks, like these Gap Classic Loafer Peds ($7), constantly show when she wears ballet flats. I have no doubt that more of you have this problem. I know I used to. She's searched far and wide for an inexpensive solution, but no luck yet . . . until now!

To see my solution to unsightly peds, read more

Like I said before, I used to have this problem all the time. Frustrated, one day I grabbed a pair of scissors, and started snipping my peds problems away. Here's how you can, too.

Grab a pair of scissors sharp enough to cut nylon.
Wear your ped socks.
Now put on the ballet flats you normally wear your peds with.
Sit down or get in a squatting position where you can easily reach your feet.
Take the scissors and start slowly (and carefully) cutting the parts of the peds that are visible with your ballet flats on. Snip until peds disappear.
Do the same for the other foot. Voilá!

Chances are your peds now have jagged lines from your amateur cutting; no one will see them so no need to be anal. You may need to buy a different pair for each ballet flat you own, but if most of yours are similar, you can get away with using the same peds for each one.

Fab Redux: Dotty

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:00:22 -0800

I love me some patent leather flats, and without meaning to, I have quite the personal collection. I won't say I've reached my quota - that'll never happen - and these cute vintage black flats ($19) are definitely tempting.

Thank goodness they're not my size, because the polka dot motif would look perfect with a bright-colored dress for Spring. If you're a size 8, they're calling your name . . .
