The Fashion of Being Fit


No matter what you wear, it just isn't going to look good if you're not in good shape. Am I right or wrong? Oh, c'mon. You know it. There is definitely no denying it.

So maybe you can seek to find inspiration to work out and get healthy in this season's (helpful) trend of athletic wear and everyday clothing that is athletic wear-inspired.



Though not all of us may be able to afford to work out the designer way it doesn't mean it can't be done. I used to work out in a gym but then when I would go by myself I began to hate it since so many gym-goers like to show-off and get competitive at the gyms I've frequented in the past. I also hate hate hate all-female gyms because it really becomes some kind of gossip hour.




My solution? I trained with a personal trainer (Danny Morera of Building Body Dimensions) for a few months & when I stopped I simply trained from home by myself, using the techniques, tips, and personalized information that Danny gave me. Try it with the desired trainer of your choice and let me know how it works out or join a gym you find to be truly fun so you will actually show up (my favorites in Miami Beach are Johnny Rock Fitness in the Roney Palace and Crunch! on Washington Ave)...

Christian Dior : Haute Couture SS07 (Part 1)

My friend Mike e-mailed me this and my mouth fell to the floor. This is haute couture at it's finest. None of these pieces seem as if they could have possibly been hand-made. None of them. The origami, the makeup, it's all so on point. They're all like a bunch of China dolls in a play set. Pay close attention to the details - the embroidery, the embellishments, the models' movements and hand placements. Just watch and see for yourself...

*TWISTed*



This stellar haircut belongs to a cute Greek boy who was waiting in line in front of me at a downstairs bathroom in Twist, a long-running, popular gay nightclub and bar in South Beach. The zigzag patterns of yesteryear have been popping up on trendy male noggins lately with impressive improvements to the look. He's the first guy I've seen to wear the style with a 'hawk. Super New York.
