A Cold Winter’s Run

 

 

The holidays will soon be behind us and a couple more months of winter lie ahead. The snow is falling but this can be one of the most beautiful times of year to run. If you are one of the intrepid who decides to defy the cold, you will find a blissful calm in the tranquility that is winter running. The key is staying warm and dry, and the trick is layering! A moisture-wicking base layer, breathable pullover, and windproof jacket, depending on the temperatures, is the combo you need. Below are 6 winter-proof and stylish layering pieces to get you started.

Power To The Purple!

Lavender, burgundy, plum, violet, eggplant… purple is a hue of many colors. As we move from the fall to winter months, purple feels like a perfect segway color of the month for November. It’s still fun and poppy, but with a tone of elegance. So be it a bike, a snowboot, an evening bag or a pump, its time to work a little purple into the rotation.Lavender, burgundy, plum, violet, eggplant… purple is a hue of many colors.

Bill Cunningham: Rain and Shine

 

 

This image of Bill Cunningham came through the Twitter feed this morning. It put a big smile on my face to see him going about his normal routine on a wet, leaf-filled post-Sandy street. There he was on his bike as usual, taking pictures of NYC’s most fashionable for the New York Times Style section, wearing his LL Bean boots and a blue rain poncho, instead of his usual blue workmans jacket. Truly there is no one more “Style of Sport” than Bill Cunningham!

Now if you have never seen “BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK”, which is a charming, funny and touching portrait of this wonderful fashion icon, it’s available on DVD. Here is a little preview below.
