Winterize Your Running: Studded Sneakers

FitSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:30:00 PST

Icy roads and sidewalks are the Winter runner's nemesis. Slick surfaces translate into slips and falls, which can lead to injuries, so you need sneakers with added traction for slippery situations. Runner's World has created a cool and cheap solution: Screw Shoes. The concept is similar to studded tires for your car; the screws create little ice picks on the bottom of your running shoes. Check out the January issue of the mag, flip to page 50, and marathoner Matt Carpenter will explain how you can transform your favorite trail runners into studded sneakers in minutes with a few sheet metal screws.

Would any of you ever try making these studded sneaks?

Fake Designer Collaborations That Should Be Real

Lucky — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:32:29 PST

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story on designer collaborations we wish were real from our friends at Lucky!

If you’re a designer and you’re not collaborating with other designers then there’s something wrong with you. It’s so huge right now. And what about Proenza X OshKosh? Can someone get Jack and Lazaro in a room with these overall peeps already? Godiva X Target. I can’t believe it’s not Godiva! This entire story is a joke, so don’t get mad. Put on your Mary Katrantzou X Topshop (this one is real and it’s really dope) and click through!

Christian Louboutin X LA Lights

You remember LA Lights, right? The shoes by LA Gear that lit up when you walked. I can't speak for everyone, but for an 8-year-old Midwestern girl there was no better thing that could have happened to my feet. So why regulate this genius technology to sneakers? I want my studded booties to be lighting up all over 4 Times Square.

Click over to Lucky for a look at the rest of these amazing fantasy collaborations.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Remember Me Movie Screening

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 04:00:22 PDT

Maybe it was all the hype, but Robert Pattinson's new movie, Remember Me, looked intriguing to me. So a couple weeks ago, I attended the special screening with a friend. I asked you to help me create the perfect comfy ensemble. I was thinking a Rob-inspired outfit might be fun - plaid, denim, disheveled, but with a polished edge.

I started you off with these Converse What Goes Around Comes Around Studded Sneakers ($215) because they're totally snazzy. Let's see my favorite looks!

Look #1, created by nikkeeb, is the perfect mix of femme and funky - great dress!
