Because I am! I don’t really NEED one but now that I’m in the jeep, I carry more stuff with me and need slightly different functionality (shoulder strap, lighter) than I ever did before. So I’m on a quest … Givenchy leather purse / Miu miu handbag / 3 1 Phillip Lim navy blue leather…

Creative Home Office
This is my home office. In my lofted one-bedroom apartment, space is at a premium. But I work from home, on the awesome DailyHap.com, so a home office is non-negotiable. Enter the couch + table + chairs combo that I LOVE. It has lots of light and lots of space for me to spread out…
Always work really hard
Remember the 85-year-old lady? In today’s episode of Old Lady Wisdom, she called down to me from the top track of the gym: “Young lady! What are you training for?” “Nothing really.” “Well you’re always working really hard. Good for you.” I smiled, thanked her, and went on with my workout. I thought about it…
Fix Your IT Band
I recently learned that the pain I’ve been having in my left knee (the one with the golf-ball sized bone spur from Oshgoodslaughter disease) is nothing more than a tight IT band. Well … “nothing more” might be an understatement … thankfully, here’s how to fix it. The great news? I’m already yoga-ing and close-squatting…
Summer Skirts
After spending much of the summer in nothing but workout clothes, a couple of recent business trips—to inherently casual places—forced me to reconsider my closet.

I Want This Whole Outfit
(and a place to wear it) I don’t know what I love more: skinny trousers, houndstooth coat, or maroon matching underlayers. From Celine, featured in Fashionista’s Best of Pre-Fall
Hey, can we snatch with you?
I’m at the gym tonight working on a 1 rep snatch max so I can partake in a fun CrossFit Austin workout (which, it turns out, I later mangled anyway). A few guys are also in there working out, and they’re not slouches–one of them is doing almost-handstand-pushups suspended from the TRX (the point? not…
lululemon offers Free Fitness
Weird Wednesdays are back at lululemon, starting this afternoon with Brooke’s Bootcamp on top of Whole Foods from 6:30-7:30pm. Don’t know what Brooke’s Bootcamp entails, but sounds fun, and who wouldn’t want to hit the WF salad bar afterward? Today also marks the first day you can shop lululemon online, so all you online-shopping-addicts (erm,…

This Saturday there is a UTB: Free Community Workout at Town Lake and two Free CrossFit Indoor workouts at the CrossFit Central facility! Both workouts are open to everyone, but the Indoor ones require an RSVP and are almost full already, so do it STAT if you’re into that! UTB: Free Community Workout 8:30-9:30am Under…
