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.

Day 6: Winter Music Conference Fashion

This femme's footwear was a hit! I thought she jokingly put SWIMMIES around her ankles (which gives me some Halloween inspiration) so I asked her to pose for me. Upon further inspection of the pic I noticed that they are actually a part of her Pumas!!!

Day 2: Winter Music Conference Fashion

This is fashion for the not faint at heart for sure...specialty act performers/entertainers at Twilo Miami for the VIVA Steve Lawler party:

So I'm 9 Days Late On This One, but...

Here are some of the gifts I got for my birthday: loads of Sephora goodies, checkered Vans, a Dolce & Gabbana rosary. Not pictured: Tahitian silk bikini wrap, Tahitian silk beach quilt, plaid red brass hardware handbag, a Bohemian halter & leggings combo, and Chanel Swarovski crystal-adorned sunglasses. Yay! I don't expect much and my friends really blew me away this year. Unbelievable. Now I don't have to shop for a while... ; )
