I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop.

I just found a new brand of exercise clothes that I am in love with. Although the company is called Beyond Yoga, they have a variety of styles which can be used for any type of movement. In the photo below, you can see the Straight Back Cami ($60) and the Supplex Short Shorts ($58) in action.

I hate trying on clothes, and the fact that sizes are all over the map doesn't help matters. Some brands run big while others run small, which means I have to take a pile of items into the dressing room. But I got really riled up while shopping for workout clothes this weekend, when I discovered what's apparently a new trend: vanity sizing on workout clothes.

Not all expecting mamas are willing to surrender their closet to A Pea in the Pod. Fashion forward ladies can decorate themselves and their bump with American Apparel's edgy and funky maternity clothes — even if the brand is simply labeling belly friendly clothes already in production as "maternity." Regardless, one mama-to-be's dream may be another's worst nightmare.

I love shopping for clothes almost as much as I like buying stuff for my house, and often, I'm seduced by a unique piece of clothing that isn't something I'd actually wear. But — particularly with vintage fashion or items made from beautiful fabrics — some pieces of clothing are just too fabulous to get rid of.
That's why I love the idea of hanging bold clothing items as art, like this vintage velvet jacket (at left).

When I spoke with Stefan Richter after he lost Top Chef, he mentioned an upcoming clothing line. Entitled Cocky Chef Clothing, the designs recently became available online. It's pretty cheeky and highlights some of Stefan's signature phrases from the show.

FitSugar reader TxYogi posted a question in the Yoga Stretch and Tell group. She asked:
"I love the look and fit of yoga gear from lululemon and Hard Tails, but I just can't bring myself to pay so much for clothes I'll probably do nothing but sweat in. Can anyone recommend some great fitting and great looking yoga gear at reasonable prices?"

Sadly, I don't have the best lighting in my closet. Although, hopefully one day I will have track lighting with a dimmer - obviously I have given this some thought. Check out this clothes hanger lamp by droog design, $254.
