With so many BGS wearing wedges and strutting in sky-high heels, it’s inevitable that some of us will either trip or take a tumble, leaving behind a scratch. If so, Band-Aid has all of us fashionistas covered – literally.

Celebrity fashion designer Cynthia Rowley has partnered with the household brand to create a super chic collection of adhesive bandages giving the boring flesh-tone shades a backseat.

Packaged in sleek black and turquoise tins, these designer bandages are bold with glamorous designs such as sequins and pretty petals.

Available for a limited-time, these scrape-savers will be in Cynthia Rowley stores, cynthiarowley.com and The Cooper Hewitt Museum next month.

Would you wear a designer bandage or simply stick to the nude hues?

What woman doesn’t like to express herself through clothing and accessories? Well, there’s a new brand of bangles that will let fashionistas wear their expressions on their wrists. Bangleism is a line of custom-made bangles that allows you to choose from a host of popular affirmations such as “I Am Extraordinary” and “Believe in Yourself,” or gives you the option to be original and create your own designs.

Founded by fellow BG, Arika Pierce, 30, who has a background in law and politics, Bangleism serves as her creative outlet. “I have been working on this for about 9 months now, perfecting the process and now I finally feel ready to share my creations with the world,” she says. Her signature hot pink paint can be seen inside all of the bracelets giving them that distinct, pretty pop of color.

So this summer while you’re donning sundresses and tank tops, add that extra oomph to your outfit with one of these bold, bright, and unique bangles.

Available at www.bangleism.com for $12

**The winner of the Bangleism bangle is K. Rock. Please email me your mailing address info! Congrats. 🙂
