Scarlett Hearts Reebok, See For Yourself

FitSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 03:30:00 -0700

A while back I had mentioned to you guys that Scarlett Johansson was teaming up with Reebok to create a signature collection of fashion-forward, athletic-inspired footwear and apparel. Today I was looking around on Reebok's site and I came across the collection.

I have not decided if I love the collection yet. It could be cute for just hanging around, but I am not sure I would hit the gym in her gear. On the other hand, I guess that's what they meant by athletic-inspired. Regardless, to see some of the collection just read more

If you love the stuff, you can buy it online at Reebok.com. Prices start at $39.99 for the tanks, $69.99 for the pants, $89.99 for the sneakers and $99.99 for the hoodies. Let me know what you think.

Speak Up: Are Celebs Fit to Sell Clothes?

FitSugar — Thu, 10 May 2007 12:30:00 -0700

Kate Moss has been causing quite the stir at Topshop recently with the launch of her new clothing line. While Kate might have a flair for fashion, how are her clothes going to look on non-model, "normal" sized women? Kate is pretty darn thin and most women just aren't that thin, and even at their healthiest and fittest, will never be. High fashion, fine -- But is it OK for her, or any other super thin celeb, to be selling to the masses?

Apparently I was not the only one with these concerns as UkDailyMail.com.uk has put celeb clothing lines to the test. Can a size 14 woman look good in Kate's line at Topshop? What about putting a sized 14 woman in Madonna's line at H&M? To see the pics and decide for yourself, read more

Is wanting to look like Madonna in her dress a motivational factor that will drive you to the gym? Or is feeling that we want to look like Kate Moss in hot shorts bad for our self esteem? I'm curious what you all think, so tell me below. Go on - speak up.

Fore! Luke Wilson For Puma Golf

FitSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:45:00 -0800

I love when celebrities get on board to help design athletic gear because it can help send a good message for people to get off their butts and move a little. Luke Wilson, who we've seen jogging and playing golf, has joined the likes of Scarlett Johansson by creating his own athletic clothing line with Puma and pro golfer Johan Edfors.

The line includes highlights such as chrome details, higher-end Merino wool materials, and personal color combinations and selections. Wilson’s selections included darker blues and blacks for a more casual, laid-back approach, while Edfors selected brighter color palettes with vibrant green and pink, more typical to his personal style. I'm excited about the C-hopper shoe that can be worn on or off the course by just removing the spikes, because I can't tell you how many times I've had lunch with my shoeless husband at the clubhouse. Unfortunately the line doesn't come out until May, so we wait.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Sky Lab by Jackie Warner

FitSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 03:30:00 -0700

I don't know if any of you guys were following the show Bravo's Workout with Jackie Warner, but I certainly was and that is why I am thrilled about this new clothing line.

Sky Lab by Jackie Warner was just launched at Paiva.com (a great site for cool workout gear). The clothes are pretty simple but very versatile. Oh, and I will say, Jackie is definitely one celebrity who I feel is fit to create a clothing line. So I am definitely ordering those cute capri pants and maybe even a strappy bra. I tend to like Jackie's style so I can't wait to see how the line develops in the future.

To check out the hot new line, read more

Take a look and if you like, order some stuff from paiva.com.

Get Your Butt in Gear: SkirtSport

FitSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 10:15:00 -0800

I think of myself as a jock just because I played sports in high school. But really, I am just a grown up girl with two very girly daughters. I've been celebrating my more feminine side and have wholeheartedly embraced pink (thanks to my pink loving daughters), and now I want to run fast in a skirt!!!

Thanks to SkirtSports I can. They are pioneering a new trend in women's fitness apparel - yep, the sport skirt - everything old is new again. Their skirts are great for running, biking, gym time, tennis, golf walking, and just hanging out looking cool in a brightly colored mini. You can look like an athlete and a woman at the same time. After all it is National Girls & Women In Sports Day, and these skirts incorporate both the feminine and the sporty. This is what professional triathlete Nicole DeBoom was thinking when she decided to create this line of sports clothes for women.

If you are thinking of converting to the skirt, send in an old pair of running shorts and receive a 45% discount. Which could be your gateway skirt, which run (haha!!!) around $70.

Interested in trying one on before you buy? SkirtSports has a great retail locator on their website.

Spiritual Fitness Wear - Celebs Love the Message

FitSugar — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 11:30:00 -0800

Celebrity fans of Spiritual Fitness Wear include Madonna, Geena Davis, Kim Basinger, Drew Barrymore, Ashley Judd, Eva Mendes (as shown here), Jessica Biel, Kelly Preston, and Kirsten Dunst just to name a few. Each tee sends the important message that beauty comes from within.

This line of motivational clothing was designed to remind you to believe in and have patience with yourself.

They offer unique and powerful affirmations that remind you to be happy with your whole person - and to never compare your insides with anyone else's outsides.

They encourage you to have freedom from the mistakes of the past, and all judgments of the future. They allow you to accept your little imperfections, because they make up who you are.

They were even used as a little positive encouragement on The Biggest Loser. Want to see? Go ahead and read more

Phrases like "I Rock," "Image is Nothing," and "Never Give Up," appeared on their shirts. A few motivational words were always close at hand, and it really paid off. Check out this guy's before and after picture.
