A Style On A Run

-
It was one nice weather last week(end), when I managed to take my rollerblades for a long ride along the west side of the city, where the urban city meets the Hudson River paradise - the well-renovated riverfront that now bolsters a great array of the places for all kinds of the outdoor activities. 


And, yes, even, when I rollerblade, I rollerblade with a photo-camera - [aka my iPhone camera, as I use it for the music], because I find it quite amusing - in a very good way - to see what people wear, when they work out: run, bike, walk, skate... And some of them are not even there to work out, per say, but rather... to take a bit of a break from the public transportation and enjoy a ride to/from work on a bike.

Who says you can't bike on a job?


Here's a collage of some images that capture some of the diverse essence of the NY crowd, who seem to know how to utilize that running/biking path. I'm talking about those who came to exercise and those, who, just happen to use the path as a means for transportation from/to work...

What can I say, it can't get any 'cooler' than bright pink footless golfs and an up-high ponytail... Or is it to be safe and be visible to the others? I could definitely spot him from far...
Yoga and biking - can't think of a better work-out combination!
This 'couple' of colleagues definitely looked like they are going either to or from the office. Since it was Friday, they looked pretty summer business-casual. I find it very cool that New Yorkers more often than before opt for biking on the working days, not to mention - biking in dresses/skirts. 
The blue cues of this gal's jogging outfit definitely plays for the overall feel of the day and the surroundings. Simple, but nice.

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:

My Travels: Vermont In Night And Day

OK, here's why I'm not gonna post much this weekend - I'm trying to get the last of what's left of the winter. I'm hitting the slops up in Vermont: one day of skiing at the Killington, VT - today, and tomorrow - it's Stratton, VT . I'm excited about both, especially because I don't get to go skiing often, first of all. Second of all - as I got older, I realized that I'm not really a 'winter sports' person, I'm more of a summer sports person. I prefer to be out in the sun in shorts, rollerblading, playing beach volleyball and/or tennis, or going for a jog and/or a bike ride. That's said, I am , actually, excited for this snowy weekend, but mostly because... The huge part of my excitement lays within the fact that aside from skiing, I'm spending this weekend with my friends at a beautiful house with a fire place in the middle of the woods. And waking up to a smell of freshly brewed coffee and a view to die for - i
