We stopped by the Sorel suite at Lucky FABB to check out some of their fabulous fall boots! A big trend this season for Sorel is the wedge boot, followed by a healthy dose of fur trim. We can’t wait ‘til it’s cold enough outside to wear these awesome styles!
Check out the Sorel boutique on Zappos.com!

You’re probably wondering why we’re featuring Havaianas sandals when summer just ended. Well, for one, Havaianas are a perennial staple that we just can’t live without. And of course, those of us lucky enough to have warmer weather well into the fall know just how Havaianas quickly become a go-to must have.
This past summer, Havaianas hosted a concert by LA indie band Best Coast. Front woman Bethany Cosentino describes how sandals epitomize the laid-back beachy style of LA perfectly. We couldn’t agree more! We love wearing our Havaianas as long as the weather permits!
Check out Best Coast in action at Space 15Twenty in Los Angeles:

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women in the United States, second only to lung cancer. It accounts for one of every three diagnoses in women.
With breast cancer affecting so many lives day after day, we love companies that show their support by partnering with breast cancer research and awareness initiatives.
Show your support by wearing pink proudly!
The Super Awesome Description award is a way of recognizing a member of our innovative content department once a month. If a product description is particularly witty or creative, anyone in the company can nominate the person who wrote it. The nominations are then read by other members of the content department and voted upon; the description with the most votes wins. The writer of that description is rewarded with a trophy and a certificate, not to mention recognition from their peers.
The winner for August is Erica S., who also had the pleasure of winning in February and June. Erica is part of the Clothing team and her portfolio includes Athletic Performance Apparel, Outdoor Apparel and Outdoor Apparel 2. Erica impressed us, yet again with her clever description for the Outdoor Research Women’s Sensor Glove.
We asked Erica a few new questions to get to know her better. Check out her answers below!
How does it feel to win the SAD award three times in one year?
E: It’s crazy!
What is it about your descriptions that you think people relate to?
E: I try to be funny and provide as much info. as possible to help someone really understand the product.
What is the greatest piece of advice you’ve received when it comes to writing?
E: My favorite professor in college said “just write s***.” I would agonize over the perfect word, perfect sentence, perfect paragraph, and so it would take me forever to write something. She told me to stop thinking and just write, and worry about the fine tuning later.
If you could give one piece of advice to other writers what would it be?
E: I’m the one who could use some advice, so send it my way!

Can you believe fall is finally upon us? This means cooler weather for those longer runs!
Now that we are getting into runs that are longer than an hour, we need to start talking about consumption of items other than water to avoid bonking.
Everyone is different and EVERYONE will react differently to certain products; practice before race day is key!
CYTOMAX® is the sponsored sports drink that will be offered during the Zappos.com Las Vegas Rock n’ Roll Marathon, if you plan on drinking it in December, then start drinking it now! You don’t want to end up running from porta potty to porta potty for 13.1 miles!
Here are some general guidelines for hydration and sustenance for endurance running. Remember, however, that everyone is different, so you may have to tweak your routine a little bit to suit your body.
BEFORE YOUR LONG RUN
Consume a meal 1-3 hours before your long run or race.
300-400 calorie meals full of carbohydrates (bagel, toast w/peanut butter, oatmeal)
2-3 glasses of water
DURING YOUR LONG RUN
6-8 oz of water every 15-20 minutes
After an hour of running consume about 100-200 calories and then 100 calories every 40-45 min after that. Start testing out products such as GU, Hammer Gels, Clif Shots, Gummy Bears, sports drinks etc.
*If you’re using Gel, consume with water when taken, not sports drinks!
AFTER YOUR LONG RUN
Rehydrate with 2 cups of water per pound lost.
You absorb carbs twice as fast within the first two hours.
Consume at least 200 calories per hour ran .
Add protein for enhanced storage.
Happy Training!

To cap off my whirlwind of fashion in NYC, I was lucky enough to attend the US Weekly party honoring the 25 most stylish New Yorkers! It was my first time walking a red carpet (yep, I was nervous!), but I made it through without tripping!
Among those named the 25 most stylish New Yorkers were: designer Nate Berkus, rapper Pharrell Williams, SNL cast member Abby Elliot, and Rockport's style ambassador and celeb stylist Annabel Tollman!
I also had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the amazing Sasha Charnin Morrison , fashion director for US Weekly. And I may or may not have chatted with a cute cast member of one of my favorite guilty pleasure reality TV shows! I will let the pictures do the talking for that! ;)
