Starting off the year with a fitness goal can be daunting,especially if your year begins in the thick of winter. Sometimes, however, the fresh air and the people-free running routes are exactly what you're looking for in a workout. Even more preferable may be the fact that you don't have to worry about passing out from summer's suffocating heat. If the thought of a serene and invigorating workout isn't enough to get you to take your workout outside, perhaps some of these helpful tips will. Get your blood pumping in a pair of slippery-surface-friendly shoes, sweat sustaining yet frost fighting gloves, or a jealousy-generating jacket useful for many an occasion other than working your butt off. As important as it is to stay in good health, it's also important to do it safely: staying insulated in the cold, visible in the dark, and hydrated in the moisture-less air. Keep those resolutions within reach until winter's end, and by the time it's warm enough to sport a swimsuit, your hard work will reveal a you that you'll be burning to show off!

Vintage Halston, Bill Blass, Rodarte. If your heart rate sped up just a bit upon reading those words, you'll want to check out the vintage sale going on at YOOX right now! It's a part of American Glamour, a YOOX shopping event, and American Beauty: Aesthetics & Innovation, an FIT exhibition that debuted last Friday. The exhibit features about 75 couture masterpieces from 20 designers, while the American Glamour sale will showcase a collection of samples by fifteen designers including the aforementioned Halston and Blass, plus other legendary couturiers and even some contemporary designers (Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte, Ralph Rucci, Isabel Toledo, to name a few). Part of the motivation behind the event is to show that America's contribution to fashion goes far beyond the invention of sportswear and the rise of mass marketing, and also to provide a highly curated collection of one-of-a-kind items to breathe life into an industry where trends are exhausted and uniqueness is often hard to come by.
