Brrrr!!!

So, today was the very first day I needed a winter accessory and though I probably love to accessorize more than any one normal person should, this made me a little sad. It was a beautiful fall day in NYC and though sunny, the wind was a bit out of control. Last time I was in Philly visiting the fam I snagged this gray and yellow knit hat complete with adorable ball and took it out for a test run today. Had brunch at Yatanga in Harlem (must try, very cool space!)My hat...really quite warm and cozy (Nordstrom).

The Shorts...and Boots...!

Thursday, October 14, 2010
Longer days and hot nights call for shorter hem lines- but that doesn't mean we have to deal in our boots for flip flops! The shorts are no longer assigned to weekend chores, beach cover-ups and music festivals- they have found their way to the real catwalks of Hollywood. With a little stimulation from Daisy Duke, these girls show how to breathe new life into a summer wardrobe staple.


Add a black to your outfit, and you are routinely labeled "edgy"- but to me, there is amazing about these girls that are friendly and sweet. Maybe it's because instead of opting for a heeled boot, they went with a loose decent flat boot...or maybe it's to do with the softer shapes of their tops- either way, I'm coveting this look...but I may have to go back over it on a really hot day.


For a simpler version of wearing boots with your shorts, keep the height of your boot to ankle length. The leg-lengthening class alone should have you stepping up out to experiment with this look! At 5'1, Nicole Richie looks as leggy as Gisele Bundchen in all her 5'10 of glory! I love how erratic the ankle boots look with the relaxed tops that these girls paired with their shorts. You almost expect a tattered flip flop- but instead you get a sexy treat….!

Gym |clothes| Rat|s|

I officially hate all of my gym clothes. Yesterday I threw on a pair of tights and a long fitted deep v neck tee and finally felt cute at the gym. I think I might seriously be allergic to crew neck teeshirts with that yucky seamed collar makes me soooo sad! The tights I wore however, I don't want to ruin, wear out or snag with my eliptical shenanigans and on the floor bendy "core" workout. I think I'm going to give these Nike Runner's Tech joints a try. They are a bit pricey for work out gear but are on sale so...I'm going to give them a whirl.
