    To be honest, I was never really a fan of Bebe Sport- my style has always been a little more running shorts, and a little less, err, rhinestone-encrusted stretch pants. But when I caught a glimpse of PH8, the line that's set to replace Bebe Sport, I knew I'd be welcoming more then a few of the athletic-inspired pieces into my closet. The looks are meant to be layered over or worn as gym clothes, perfect for the girl who wants to go from yoga to a casual dinner date or simply hit the gym after work without the hassle of a rush hour outfit change. From racerback tanks and basic leggings to draped skirts and sequined pullovers, the line's full of functional and carefree pieces that together create looks with a hint of Bebe-inspired glamour. The line's already well-received, garnering an impressive share of attention from the likes of Katy Perry, Giuliana Rancic, and Emily Current and Meritt Elliott of Current/Elliott, who styled the PH8 lookbook. Priced from $19 to $139, it's an affordable way to add a touch of confident, athletic appeal, even if you prefer trendy heels to tennis shoes. Shop PH8 in stores now, and check out the Grand Opening happening this Saturday night at a store near you!

    Work It Out In AW77, The Greatest Sport Hoodie From Nike

    You work hard- so should your clothes. The Nike AW77 hoodie, named for Athletics West (Nike's elite track and field club that year) is Nike's hardest working hoodie yet. Crafted from water-resistant French looped cotton, it's supremely comfortable and durable. The head cushioning, fully lined multi-paneled scuba hood zips up to your chin to block out the elements. Day after day, wear after wear, the ribbed cuffs and waistband hold their shape, and the body and hood will keep their form-- they're designed by athletes, for athletes, after all. Not one detail has been spared, from the windproof zippers to the top-shelf pockets and drawcords. It's quilted with insulation for warmth where you need it, and not where you don't. The interior of the hoodie is clean, with no exposed edges, so it's all about comfort. Meet your new favorite hoodie at Nike, and show it what you're made of.

    Get Physical In Fall's Gym-Inspired Looks

    You don't have to run marathons or have a relationship with the Stairmaster to appreciate fall's athletic-inspired looks. Just look at Isabel Marant's fall '09 runway, where sweatshirt tees go from gym to glam when paired with layered skirts and embellished ankle boots. Alexander Wang has been taking sweatpants out of the gym for a few seasons now, and given their slouchy, not sloppy cut, they could almost pass as dress pants if worn with heels and a blazer- just don't tell your boss you slept in them the night before. On a budget? American Eagle and Free People can hook you up without the pricey membership. The key is to look for pieces with unexpectedly luxe touches (like cashmere or sequins), or pair casual ones with something more polished- in other words, leave the sneakers at home.

    Summer, whether or not you have the time off, is all about embracing laziness. After all, when it's this hot outside, it can be tough to even muster enough energy to rise from your lounge chair to get a refill on your lemonade. So naturally, you can't possibly be bothered to do something as strategic as tie your shoes every time you leave the house. But what if flip-flops aren't suitable for the situation at hand? Enter slip-on sneakers -- the athletic yet cute alternative when you want to keep things casual but don't want the hassle of unlacing or re-knotting each time you want to kick them off or slide them back on. Go for a tieless version of your trusty Converse Chuck Taylors, or if slides are more your style, take a look at these cute backless bikers from Bebe! Whichever brand you choose, whether made for speed or style, slip-ons are perfect for sliding on and off at the beach or slipping into in a snap when you're running late! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite pairs.
