Flippin out over my new FitFlop Mukluks. Fashion meets Fitness – Say whaaa?!!

November 27, 2010

 

 Mukluktall_l

It's true.  They say right there on the Fit Flop website "Warning our Mukluks are addictive" and they are soooo right it's ridic.

My tall Smoke Grey pair arrived by mail this morn, I tried them on at 9 am, and now it's 9:41 pm I am finally taking them off.  But it's only because I want to go to bed. They've felt literally like wearing air all day.  No, like walking on clouds!   But clouds with major ergonomic support.  And then there's the whole fit flop science behind them (read below) that actually makes them serious working shoes!  

Uh sorry, can you tell me what shoe on the planet you can wear on Day One for several walking hours and forget to take off?? Yah, it's nuts.

Ok, then there's the irresistible fashion part.  ( I've been know to "pass along" toss several ugly exercise sneakers I've been given in the past. )  They are fricken cool. Waaayy cooler then Uggs. for so many reasons.  Starting with, they are NOT Uggs. Next is the cool biased cut along the top on and the best part is the hippie throw back to the earth show sole which is over the top retro chic.  Trust me.  These are the Uggs of te future.  

On top of being insanely comfy they put your legs to work!! (more on the technology below) even though you have no idea anythings happening cuz its like walking on clouds.  So you're gonna look chich, a little retro hippie heel going on AND you're gonig to tone up your legs?  Yah, sorry, bye Uggs :(.

Grey clouds never looked so good.

ShaToBu – Burn calories AND tone muscles while wearing the cutest tights ever? Sold!

November 12, 2010

I've been more than curious about these ShaToBu – the workout that you wear leggings.

They sounded way too good to be true.

Shape!  Tone!  Burn! 

They burn calories!  They tone your legs and butt and everything else! They make you look amazing!! 

Hmm…. I was just a little suspicious, to put it lightly…

I figured they at least must be ridiculously uncomfy and impossible to wear.  They look like they would be tight, binding and suffocating. 

That was until I ordered a pair (adorable dark steel grey footless ones).  As soon as I felt them I got excited.  But it wasn't until I put them on that I felt how truly soft and snug these opaque (thank god) beauties are.  But, most importantly they breaaatthheeee… They feel beyond fantastic going on and for someone who hates wearing leggings because I always feel sweaty and they make my skin crawl from lack of air, these felt airy and light.  I was in serious legging shock.  I am in love.  I am immediately ordering a few more in different colors.

Now, here's the thing, I have no idea how on earth to quantify an exercise effect or calorie burning.  That is beyond my scope.  All I know is that they feel like gods gift to leggings (ok, not sure what's up with all the GOD references, perhaps ShaToBu is making me have a religious experience – my god! – see, there I go again).

If you're in the market for the perfect winter tights-situation (footless, footies, to the knee slimmers, etc.) but don't want that sticky, cooch-can't get a breath-of fresh air feel – then these are the perfect thing for you.

Any calorie burning or muscle toning is just icing on the cake.  How's that for having your cake and eating it too?

They come in the Shaping Tight, the Footless Shaping Tight and the High Waist Shaping Tight.

These are the ones I got for $34.

JAGGER EDGE RESCUES NATASHA’S iPHONE FROM FASHION SUICIDE

October 12, 2010

At a wine tasting last night, coffee at Aroma this morning, then soccer practice this afternoon, there’s rarely a moment I’m without my most beloved companion. A tried and true friend I can literally call on day and night, she’s always there for me. When I’m lost, she finds my way. When I’m down in the dumps, she takes me shopping. She gets my butt out of bed, helps me make a gourmet breakfast, goes on a hike with me, helps me pick the perfect nail color, gets me a front row seat to all the top runway shows, and even carries pictures of my kids.  She’s perfect! Well, almost…

Despite my best efforts, my iPhone has absolutely zero sense of style. As cool as she is on the inside, she a total bore on the outside.

Until now.

Thanks to a killer new iPhone cover from Jagger Edge – my favorite is black leather with gold studding ($92) — I am, for the first time, proud to be seen with my cutting-edge trend-setting friend.

Available for the iPhone 3 or 4, the Jagger Edge cover comes in an array of leather, animal print, faux wood and denim, and it has lots of edgy hardware options. It’s the perfect accessory in a modern world. The Jagger Edge iPhone cover is like a hip, in-the-know assistant to my celebrity status handbag. Unlike the usual plastic or rubber iPhone cases you see in the mall, these cases practically scream rock ‘n’ roll cool and effortless style. You want to be their friend. You would be so lucky.

In a world run by technology, it’s literally impossible to keep up without a smart phone. I’m so happy I can now do it in style. You should, too.
