Workout Gear You Can Wear Out

Did you see how much air I got?  If only I had learned to played basketball...I could've taken my talents to South Beach.  

Let's talk about workout gear.  Thanks to brands like Lululemon and Adidas/Stella McCartney, women's athletic apparel which was once dowdy and dull is now fashionable and high-quality (= high end).  To which I say "AMEN!"

Some may balk at the price tag - $78 for a pair of basic black leggings - but you'll get more than your money's worth.  I wear my gear EVERYWHERE: Bar Method, Soul Cycle (thanks for getting me addicted, cousin), the supermarket, to run errands, on the plane, lounging around at home, etc...  My new hoodie is already broken in after NYC.  I got it for a steal at the net-a-porter sale and highly recommend you check out what's left before it's gone!

Black & Gold Errthang

Sweater: J.Crew. Pants: Theory. Belt: H&M (similar here). Necklace: H&M. Bracelets: Forever 21.  Shoes: Givenchy. Bag: Chanel. Photography by Steph Wells

Happy Memorial Day!  I'm so not ready to go back to work tomorrow.  Emotional hangover!!!  

So I've been on a serious gold binge this month: necklaces, bracelets, belts.  Gold errthang.  My favorite way to wear it is against an all-black outfit.  It's perfect for days when I want to be comfortable at work but glam it up a little bit.

P.S. I can't wait for you to see the pics from our photoshoot in SF!

It's a Color Block Party

Top: Gap (similar here). Pants: Zara (similar here). Shoes: Christian Louboutin. Necklace: H&M. Photography: Jim Lee

Color blocking isn't showing any signs of slowing down.  There were lots of new color combos going down the runways at Celine Fall 2012 and  Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013.  My all-time favorite is pink and red.  It's been seared into my brain ever since I first saw it on Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper.  I can always count on this outfit to brighten my day.  Can't wait to show you my next color block outfit: black and white (a la Balenciaga).

Les Faux Marants

Cousin, I love your "running sucks" t-shirt and tutu.  I think you can tell from our pics that you're the artistic one in the family and I'm the athletic one.  

In honor  of March Madness, I hit the basketball courts with my faux Marants.  Dribble dribble.  Dunk dunk.  By the way, I was not making it rain on the court.

See you in Vegas for MM. (Go Duke!) xoxo, Linda

Anything boys can do, GIRLS CAN DO BETTER!

Sweater: Rugby, Shirt: Rugby, Bow Tie: Rugby, Tux Pants: Ann Taylor, Shoes: Oscar de la Renta, Earrings: J. Crew, Sunnies: Dior

Cousin!  When I tell people I wear bow ties, they either don't believe me or don't think I can pull it off. 

So to prove them wrong, here is my favorite look with my favorite bow tie.  What do you think?

Ah!!!  I love tuxes, I love wingtip shoes, I love ornate cufflinks, I LOVE MENSWEAR!  

Anywho, hope I proved that anything boys can do, girls can do way better! Jean

Weekend Camo

Sweater: Zara. Pants: Zara. Sandals: Alexander Wang. Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen. Photography: Jim Lee

Diesel isn't a brand that I associate with high fashion (actually, what comes to mind is Bridge and Tunnel) but I'm definitely feeling the leather, studs and denim that they sent down the runway at NYFW.

Ugh, our spring-like weather in already a distant memory.  Fortunately, I got to take my new yellow sandals (paired with camo pants) for a spin before winter reared its ugly head back in SF.

Happy President's Day! Linda
