Shabby Apple, an online clothing boutique (www.shabbyapple.com), launched ‘Blossom,’ a line of fitness wear designed to flatter the female body and add femininity to a typically masculine type of clothing.

Blossom line includes capris, yoga pants, Bermuda shorts, running skirts, running shorts, camisoles, racer back tops, half-zip jackets, hooded sweatshirts, sports bras and headbands. All pieces are available in a variety of colors.

“Fitness wear is almost always tainted in masculinity; the ‘hard core’ workout look,” Emily McCormick, owner of Shabby Apple said. “In-line with all things Shabby Apple, we wanted to start from scratch, looking at what would be most supportive for a woman’s body and what would be most flattering. Additionally, the line needed to aesthetically feminine.”

The Blossom line features feminine birds and botanical screen prints. The line is made of the highest quality fabrics and is machine washable and line-dry for ease-of-wear.

All Blossom wear is available in sizes XXS through large. The yoga pants are available in extra long and hooded sweatshirts are also long, covering problem-areas in the stomach. The line ranges from $28-$62.

Megan Fox was spotted leaving the gym (8/19) in her usual spandex, t-shirt and baseball cap workout apparel. 

A very solemn Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted after her Pilates class (8/26).  Wonder why so sad...

Jessica Alba had great runner's form as she jogged through Central Park with her dad (8/29).   Aw, a father/daughter workout.  

And good ol' Hilary Duff was keep herself healthy internally as she visited a medical center in Beverly  Hills California (8/26).  

The Emmys were this Sunday (August 29th) and guess how some of your favorite celebs walked effortlessly down the red carpet and all night long in killer heels – the Foot Petals Red Carpet Kit!

This kit includes:

• 1 pair Black Killer Kushionz
• 1 pair Red Rose-Scented Killer Kushionz
• 4 pairs Black Tip Toes ball-of-foot cushions
• 3 pairs Red Rose-Scented Heart-Shaped Tip Toes
• 4 pairs Black Strappy Strips in tube

Some helpful tips from Tina Aldatz, certified pedorthist and creator of Foot Petals:

• Practice makes perfect! Walking properly is key to looking great & keeping your feet in top shape. Concentrate on stepping “heel to toe” – or placing the weight on your heel first, then rolling forward onto the ball of foot. This may seem like common knowledge, but it’s often overlooked.
• Double up on cushions! Ball of foot cushions help to absorb shock (the Tip Toes are great for this). 
• Flex your feet periodically to prevent muscle cramps in the calves.

Celebrity stylists Cristina Ehrlich and Jessica Paster have called in Foot Petals for Toni Collette, Kyra Sedgwick, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate, Dakota Fanning, Emily Blunt, Aubrey Plaza and Jane Adams.
