Flip your seat open and store stuff inside on the NEW Fiets Urban Bike from Schwinn
Schwinn’s Fiets Bike for women ($299.99) is a smart cookie of a bike because it features a sweet seat that opens up to store your stuff. Forget dealing with a purse! Just throw what you need into the inner seat compartment (like your gum, wallet, iphone, keys, maybe even a banana). Flip it back down and hop on your seat (without a single worry about crushing your valuables). Way better than a fanny pack. right?
The Anything But Classic Reebok High-Top
Check out Shenae Grimes rockin’ these really funky Reebok Classic Chi-Kazi sneakers ($89.99) in West Hollywood while shopping. I love how unexpected and 80’s these kicks are. I bet they’re a lot more comfortable than shopping in heels! Take a fashion cue from Shenae and wear them as your accent piece with all black.
Long Warm-Up Jacket from GIVE Apparel Meaning
My new GIVE Apparel Meaning Jacket ($100) was an unexpected find because it’s tailored, warm and travel-friendly. I love the collar and thumb-holes which give it a look that’s both sporty and transitional. I wore it to the airport for Mexico where I’m vacationing now, and it’s come in handy for windy beach walks. It’s quite the seasonal piece which I know I’ll also wear in the NYC cold. Definitely a great holiday purchase for a fit lady of any age!
Vita-Beverages: Hard Nutrition & ACTIVATE
Sip your B’s, C’s, D’s, anti-oxidants and more by filling your fridge with vitamin packed drinks like Hard Nutrition and ACTIVATE. Hard Nutrition comes with a vitamin medley stored inside each cap. Don’t be scared—the packaging explains everything from supplement info to how to take them. Blackberry Lemonade is the tastiest from Hard Nutrition’s line-up.
ACTIVATE drinks require a twist of the cap to release vitamins into a lightly flavored water. Just shake and sip! Take them to the gym without feeling guilty because the vitamins inside boost your performance and recovery. The calorie count is low too, with Hard Nutrition averaging about 40 calories/serving and ACTIVATE having 0-5 calories/serving depending on flavor. Blueberry Pomegranate is my favorite from ACTIVATE (0 calories!).
Tom Burr Ping Pong Table
This is not your frat house ping pong table. The designer, Tom Burr, has an artistic reputation to uphold. That’s why he only made 10 of these limited-edition tables sculpted from black rubber. They’re not cheap ($45,000), but they’re sleek and built to bounce those little white balls like no other ping pong table you can actually afford. For each one sold, $2,500 will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters, the nation’s mentoring leader in changing children’s lives for the better.
Stylish-Girlie Yoga Bags & Slings
Check out oGorgeous yoga bags and slings, especially if you’re into shiny, sparkly things. Most yoga bags I see around are a let down but these were designed by Cassey Ho to be sturdy, roomy and eye-catching. oGorgeous yoga bags range from $80 - $130. If you’re a minimalist like me, go for a sassy sling under $30. Props to Cassey for using faux leather throughout her collection and for playing up her love of bows.
Vintage-Inspired City Bikes By Brooklyn Cruiser
Brooklyn Cruiser takes the retro-commuter-bicycle-for-yuppies trend 1 step further by making an affordable city bike for hipsters. Are you too cool for a front basket? Go for a handcrafted wooden box instead. Some white tires, a black frame, a chrome spring in your seat and you’re off! Brooklyn Cruiser bikes ($499) have an edge just like the neighborhood they’re made in.
The Zen Ring - Straight from Japan!
It looks like a toy but the Zen Ring is made to help you relax and release. A researcher in Japan created it as a safe and effective way to stretch out your arms, neck, back and legs. The Zen Ring works by hooking onto your arms and legs to help you stretch further, more easily and intensely. It’s definitely a tool you can live without but nonetheless a well designed piece of fitness equipment.
Fit Frappe’
A fitness nut and coffee addict’s dream come true! Fit Frappe’ is delish! I tried it at the Idea World Fitness Conference in LA where it previewed to much praise. Just add water to the Fit Frappe’ protein drink mix which comes in 3 different coffee flavors (Vanilla Latte, Mocha and Espresso) and shake it like a Polaroid picture. It’s packed with 20 grams of protein, less than 1 gram of sugar and only 130 calories and 3.5 grams of fat. It’s gluten free, too. I barely ever write about protein drinks…meaning I’m crazy about this one!
