Amy Winehouse Designs Golf Clothes - Really?

 

I couldn't believe it when I first came across Amy Winehouse's collection for Fred Perry because she doesn't seem the sporty type at all. Have I been living under a rock? Because it's her 2nd collection for the house of Perry and it's marvelous! I wish I had known about the 1st because Amy gives Fred Perry luxury sportswear and ready-wear a serious rockabilly edge. She injects her retro 50's vibe into the line which includes sexy halter dresses, Hawaiian prints, tie-up bowling shirts and slim cut polos and pants. Amy's love for ballet flats even translates to a kilted loafer. The Amy Straw Visor and Hawaiian Print Shirt featuring Amy's likeness are my favorites!

If you like golf fashion and don't mind pushing the envelope, take a look at what you could be wearing on the green: AMY WNEHOUSE FOR FRED PERRY

It's creative and totally fun. And what would make it even better is seeing Ms. Winehouse golf!

Kat DeLuna Sculpts From The Inside Out

It's not often you hear a 22-year-old so excited about fitness & health that she trips over her words when describing her workout routine. That's what makes Kat DeLuna, hip hop singer-songwriter, my new fitness crush. She's determined to live a healthy lifestyle and get fit for 2011 by taking personal inventory, not just counting calories.

Check out my interview below with Kat, who I'll be styling for Despierta America on Univision next week.

Madonna picks barre3 by Sadie Lincoln. Which barre workout is right for you?

- This is a guest post by Erica Chapman -

 

Barre fitness is an oldie but goodie.

Lately it seems like everyone and their mother has tried a barre fitness class and raved about it in a tabloid. But the barre method has actually been around for ages.  What's with the sudden surge in popularity? And with all these new studios and DVD's popping up, how is a girl to choose which barre to do her plies at?

Differentiating between barre workouts.

For answers, I tested out 3 different barre workouts--two classes and one DVD--to get a sense of the differences between the brands. First, though, the common ground: a barre workout is simply a series of strengthening exercises using very small, repeated movements and the body's own weight resistance, mostly performed at a ballet barre for balance, and alternating with periods of stretching to keep you long and lean. It is NOT dancing (girls with 2 left feet, rest easy--I was joking about the plies back there). And...

Get Marisa Tomei's hot hoopBody

 

Marisa Tomei is one of my favorite actresses of all time. I've loved her since Untamed Heart (yes, bad storyline but she didn't judge Christian Slater for having a baboon heart and that makes her a quality person). Acting aside, Marisa's body is off the charts and now we know how she maintains it -- with hoopBody! Check her out on Ellen.

 

 

hoopBody is a fun, low impact home-fitness workout that you can do in your living room or backyard. It's great for your core, especially the abs and waist-line. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather work out to on DVD than Marisa. It's like you want to be her best friend...but then maybe not...I'd be green with envy if I had to hang out with her all the time and watch her steal my boyfriends. Working out with her on DVD suits me just fine (sorry Marisa, you're just too hot). The hoopBODY kit is on backorder until August, but you can reserve yours now at Gaiam.com.
