All Aboard the Cynthia Rowley and BAND-AID’s Glambulance

I am obsessed with the Cynthia Rowley BAND-AID’s that launched last year. Like literally OBSESSED! I stalked them at an event once gushing over them only to find out that they were limited edition and no longer available. I’ve been rationing them ever since. Then I got an email right before fashion week started that BAND-AID is bringing them back! And hitting the streets during fashion week in their “Glambulance” to offer solution to your style woes. This repurposed ambulance will be fully equipped with a hair stylist, seamstress, make-up artist Mickey Williams, and fashionable First-Aid supplies. I’m so excited, and considering my obsessions for the brand they have asked yours truly to be a “fashion emergency” ambassador for the brand.

The BAND-AID® Brand by Cynthia Rowley Adhesive Bandages ($4.25) come in a variety of 7 designs, including gems, sequins, lace, gold chains and a runway show. They will be available on CynthiaRowley.com starting today, and at mass retailers in December 2011.

WHEN & WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE GLAMBULANCE:

  • Thursday, September 8th, 4 p.m.-12 a.m. (Fashion’s Night Out)
  • Glambulance stationed at 5th Ave. and 52nd S

Make sure to enter the Fashion Malfunction Facebook Contest during Fashion Week and tell them your worst fashion emergency story for the chance to win a $2,500 Cynthia Rowley fashion spree and styling session. Visit www.Facebook.com/Band-Aid to enter! Or

Get Ready for Fashion’s Night Out

It’s almost that time of year again! On September 8, celebrate Fashion’s Night Out, the annual global event that aims to restore consumer confidence and promote… well… ah… shopping. And when you’re not busy stimulating the economy, you’re apart of one big rocking party! Stores have teamed up with Vogue, CFDA, NYC & Company and the City of New York to bring you NYC’s biggest and most exciting shopping event. The only downfall is you can’t do it all and the crowds be roaring (while the drinks keep pouring). Although the list of what to do in NYC is never ending, here are some highlights you may want to part take in.

Prevention Magazine Wants To Know How You ‘Defy Your Age’

Prevention Beauty Editor Katie Becker and Sonia Kashuk

In celebration of Prevention Magazine’s Defy Your Age awards, I attended a cocktail party hosted by the publication at Ric Pipino’s luxurious midtown salon, Pipino 57. And frankly, if everyday was like this event, I would defy my age… manicures by TracyLee, makeovers by the infamous Sonia Kashuk, blowouts by the salon’s staff, amazing massages by Dasha mixed in with top notch h’orderves –check please!

Now back to reality, how I ‘defy my age’ is taking care of my skin, eating right (to the best of my ability), and trying to avoid alarm clocks at all cost to let me body sleep however much or little it needs to naturally wake up. How do you defy yours? Prevention Magazine would love to know (and so would I)! Tweet us @PreventionMag or @PrettyConnected using the hashtag #defyyourage.
