Winter Workout Gear

Winter Workout Gear

By on January 10, 2010 in Uncategorized

Let’s be honest, one of our most pledged New Year’s resolutions is to hit the gym, pronto! Why not kickstart your workout with feel-good and look-good gear.  As the temperature drops below freezing across the nation, there is no excuse to layer the wrong type of workout clothes at the gym.  Unless you’re training for the Winter Olympics or are hitting the slopes, we suggest to dress in breathable layers (think Under Armour “cold gear” wear) at the gym.  Sometimes the right fitting (and feeling) clothes will inspire a brand new work out.  Here are a few ideas, all in basic grey.

The Bag- Stella McCartney for adidas has some fabulous and chic gym bags. Check out the reasonably priced “Hitrenn Bag” for $140.

The Top: Racerbacks are still the best for the gym in terms of flexibility and movement.  Be sure to layer with a fleece zip-up or cotton hoodie while warming up.  Our favorites include Victoria’s Secret VSX Line of workout wear, or pick up a few CP by Champion tops at your local Target.

Long California Pullover Fleece by American Apparel

Pants- lululemon has the most amazingly fitted and comfortable pants.  We adore the “Wear with All” pants that you can wear while working out, running errands, or lounging around. Just don’t forget to stretch it out and work up a sweat!

Cheers! Wishes and Resolutions for a witty 2007!

By on December 31, 2006 in Lifestyle

Tonight, all around the world, cocktails of all sorts will be raised to ring in the new year, 2007. Each year we promise ourselves certain resolutions, but oftentimes (at least I know this to be true of myself…) we let ourselves slip as the months go by and we retire right back into our old habits.

So this year I propose a different way of going about those ‘new year’s resolutions’. A big fan of to-do lists, last January a friend and I sat down to create a ‘To Do in the New Year’ list and placed 5 items on our respectable pieces of paper. They ranged in topic from learning how to make a great mojito to getting a guy to commit. With our lists in hand we set forth to place checks in the tiny boxes by each to-do item and this approach seemed to really work!

So try to make your list and the things you place on it don’t need to be drastic items like ‘Lose 50 pounds’ or ‘Fall in Love’. Have you just been craving a Burberry scarf for years? Put it on your list and use it as a treat for accomplishing other ‘to-dos’ that can be done throughout the year. This way you’re guaranteeing yourself a few resolutions that will become reality and as for the ones you don’t finish? Add ‘em to 2008!

Happy New Year to all!
