Spring Running Essential: Arm Warmers

FitSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 03:30:00 -0700

Spring weather is unpredictable, which means layering is important. When headed out for a long run, you can wear a tank but keep your arms covered with arm warmers. No longer just for the legs, or the dancers, arm warmers are a great accessory for runners and cyclists alike. Marathoner Kara Goucher sported a pair while running Boston yesterday.

Arm warmers range from $18 to $40 depending on the material used. You can opt for classic black like Kara, or go for some conspicuous stripes to make you more visible on the road. Check out some options below, from classic black to tattoo sleeves.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sunday Football

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Last weekend, my friend threw a Sunday Football bash and I asked you to help me find a cute casual look for the festivities. Sure enough, I indulged in sinful cheesy dips and BBQ wings, but no regrets here. That's what exercising is for, right? I had so much fun, I even stopped by my parents' house and joined my dad in watching the evening game.

I started you off with these Falke Striggings Arm Warmers ($29) because they were sporty and cozy. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is all about sporty fun. Those vintage Chucks are dope, and I'll skip the cute cardigan since I have my trusty arm warmers.

Trend Alert: Arm Warmers

FabSugar — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 06:15:47 -0700

This Fall marks not only the return of leg warmers but also the debut of arm warmers. Yep, you heard me right, but before you laugh, give this trend a chance. These cozy, long, and often fingerless gloves are a great way to keep your arms and hands warm in this season's cropped-sleeved coats. Plus, the slouchy, sock-like styles give you lots of finger mobility. Sure, these are trendy, but they're also a cute and practical accessory to add to your winter look. Here are my picks for designer and non-designer versions.

Miu Miu Extra Long Gloves, $270, available here.

Juicy Couture Arm Warmers, $95, available here.

Mohair Fingerless Gloves, $30, available here.

Portolano 10-Button Shearling Gloves, $200, available here.

eBay Find of the Week

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:00:22 -0800

If you require gloves but hate not being able to type on your iPhone while wearing them, fingerless gloves are a happy medium. These Crochet Knit Purple Fingerless Gloves are super cool, no? I dig the rich color and the way they scrunch.

If you do too, buy them now for $6.99; there are three available and they also come in gray, black, and white. The auction ends Tuesday, Nov. 17. Good luck!

Fab Gift Guide: Party Girl

FabSugarUK — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:00:45 -0800

You've probably got one friend who you can always rely on to go out dancing. She'll be the one that's always up for hitting the town and the first on the dancefloor, she also probably already has an impressive party wardrobe. I know I have a friend like that, and I know she's not shy about wearing a few sequins!

This Christmas, why not embrace sequins with a fun accessory like these gold arm warmers (£16) or sequin ball earrings (£8). See below for some more party girl gift suggestions!

Trend Alert: Padded Gilet

FabSugarUK — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:00:30 -0700

There is a cold chill in the air today reminding us that October is definitely here. The Autumn weather means it's time to dig out your knitwear, gloves, and scarves and to prepare your coats for the colder months.

If you don't feel prepared to commit yourself to a heavy coat just yet, then maybe a gilet has more appeal. You can layer it over a jumper or a jacket for a cosy layered up look. You could even wear it with arm warmers, which would give you more flexibility than a coat, but keep the cold out.

I really like the unusual shape of Hache's padded wool style (£514) or Espirit's down and feather gilet (£69) for a more affordable style.

Engaged? Start Getting in Shape Now

FitSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:00:00 -0700

Congratulations if you've recently gotten engaged. You have so many things to think about like the bridesmaid dresses, invitations, flowers, your rings, and the honeymoon. The most important thing though is to take care of yourself, making exercise a part of your regular routine. Not only will it help you look your best, but it's great to get in the habit of living a healthy lifestyle before your wedding, so you'll have a long life to share with your partner.

Here are some things to start thinking about:

If losing weight is your goal, meet with a dietitian. They can help you come up with a safe and healthy eating plan that will be nutritious and low in calories.
In order to lose weight, you'll also want to up your cardio. Join a gym and use the cardio machines, or take advantage of the warmer weather and walk, jog, hike, or ride your bike. To see results, you want to do at least 30 minutes of heart-pumping cardio at least three times a week.

What else can you do? Find out after you read more.

If toning up is your goal, hire a personal trainer to show you exercises that will target specific areas (like the backs of your arms).
Can't afford a personal trainer? Do toning and strengthening exercises on your own. This Starter Arms video is a great routine that's sure to work every muscle in your upper body.
If you're really serious about getting in shape and don't have much time before the big day, you may want to take the bridal boot camp approach. Go on a retreat, do an online program, or get some wedding workout DVDs.
Exercise with your partner. Not only will it keep you both healthy, but it's another way you can spend time together.

The great thing about all of these ideas is that not only will exercising regularly and eating more healthy help you get in shape for the big day, but you'll have less stress and more energy to plan the wedding - a pleasant side effect of working out.
