Nicole Miller Now: Fall 2010 Sportswear Collection

Lara with Nicole Miller

Everything changes in a New York minute, one second it seems like summer and the next it’s suddenly fall.  All this talk about Spring 2011, has really postponed my urge to transition my wardrobe for the new season.

Newly back from New Zealond Fashion Week (where she was the guest of honor), I had the pleasure of joining Nicole Miller in her SoHo store for a tour and chat about her latest sportswear collection.

Inspired by New York (the streets, lights, graffiti…), this collection is everything I need to gear up for fall and get back in the NY groove –tight, skinny black pants, flattering flowing tops, and accents of sequence, chains and zippers.

Check it out for yourself! The collection is now available in stores and at NicoleMiller.com

While you’re there, don’t miss the accessories! There are some amazing accent pieces.

Pete 90-X Hilarious Work Out Video

I had a tough time getting out of bed earlier. However, inspired by Twyla Tharp’s speech about wellness and how important it is for our bodies to move, I turned to YouTube for some motivation.

My morning workout spoof video is brought to you by a bunch of camp counselors, just having a good time (and yes ladies, get in line, they are all straight).

All laughing aside, I’m legitimately impressed by how in shape these guys are– I mean a two person jump rope, circular jumping jacks, horizontal sit ups, pull up with a person on your chest, synchronized push-ups with their legs intertwined… it’s ridiculous! And don’t even get me started on the solo acts– whatever the dance move the two boys in black spandex and the one in the green neon shirt have going on, I need to practice.

“Now every single day I just want to hear you say, I’m so lucky, lucky, I’m so lovely, lovely…”.

Good morning New York!
