I'M A DIRTY GIRL (SOMETIMES)

Don't get me wrong. I'm a fashion loving girly-girl who lives for long showers. But every once in a while, I like to work out in the mud. If you've ever considered doing a mud run, check out my fitness fashion tips for getting dirty in ultimate comfort and style. Because it is possible to combat crawl through a muddy trench with a Mr. Clean smile and a wink of confidence. It's a dirty catwalk, girls. But I know you can work it!

SUNDAY MUDDY SUNDAY

This is how I spent my Sunday morning. And I must say, I loved every minute of it. Part of me is even still laughing because it's silly to think I ran a 5K covered in mud. And that was the fun part! If you're looking to do a mud run yourself, I highly recommend the Down & Dirty Merrell Mud Run Series. For your 1st mud run, start with a 5K and do the 10K next time. The amount of mud that you run and crawl through is a lot more than you think. And because of the slip...

FALL IS COMING. TIME TO GEAR UP!

I love Fall (especially here in New York City) but it always comes a bit too early. Save yourself from goosebumps and an itchy-sore throat by dressing more appropriately for the inevitable temperature drop. Put your summer stuff away for next year and check out these Fall trends that you can easily plug into your fitness wardrobe. And that's not all...I'm giving away a $100 gift card to Bodywear Boutique so that you can shop for a new fall workout outfit and say goodbye to summer in style!

FALL FITNESS FASHION TRENDS:

* Long Board Shorts *

They've graced the runway from Gryphon to Diane Von Furstenberg's shows and now it's time to wear them where the make the most sense-- in the water and at the gym! From a functional standpoint, surfer shorts are lightweight and dry fast. I absolutely love the late summer vibe they exude which is a nice way to transition into Fall--just pair with a long sleeve moisture-wicking top...

Style up with this Jonathan Adler paddle & handmade needlepoint cover.

The US Open has come and gone but table tennis isn't going anywhere. Calling all geeks and freaks! If you like needlepoint or playing in the deep end, check out the goodies below that are guaranteed to put the ping in your pong.

Table tennis isn't as preppy or stuffy as big court tennis, which means there's more laughter, oddities and fun to be had. It's a great way to let your guard down with family and friends. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your competitive edge. Use these toys to smack 'em down and show them who's boss.

* THE BEST PING PONG VICTORY TOYS *

1. Nice, Attractive Balls

Your paddle set is your bait. Lure your victims in with ping pong balls and paddles that are brightly colored and attention grabbing. Make everyone in the room want to play with you. My favorite sets are from HENRI BENDEL and TRINA TURK. And I love these candy-esque ping pong balls from GOGO.

2. Paddle Protection

Serena Williams Wins US Open Match But Loses For Best Outfit

Serena Williams showed Bojana Jovanovski what winning looks like last night at the US Open. It was awesome. But Serena's Nike tennis dress--not so awesome. I love Nike just as much as the next girl, but the dress was underwhelming. Serena Williams is a sports fashion icon! The girl normally has style and pizazz. So what the heck? I wish Nike had designed something that expresses Serena's funky side more. Check out what I think Serena Williams should've worn for last night's match and be sure to enter my Tennis Couture Giveaway to win a new tennis outfit!
