In what I could probably call one of the coolest Fitness media events Nike presented  their spring 2010 focus last week In Vancouver , BC : Victory loves Training. Hinting to the fact that in sports like in many things in life thing , being prepared, trained  focused often makes the difference between the true  leaders , and the followers. The summit impressively  reunited women from a very broad range of media outlets from  big publications like Elle and  Glamour to femalesneakerfiends, fashion , fitness bloggers and of course yours truly.

Samia and I headed over to famed NY retailer David Z on Broadway this past week to check out buyer/designer Ronnie’s latest collaborative efforts with Red Wing boots. This year, Ronnie tells me, the smoking color is grey and the hot height is almost mid-calf (don’t ask me how many inches, I’m not the menswear afficianado around here, Samia is!) Since this is a site for the ladies, I featured one of the female attendees, who was also helping distribute pizza slices at the party. For bonus points, she’s also a sneaker lover!

After the flip, more images of the collabo shoes, highly eligible bachelor Ronnie and a cute Red Wing X David Z cake!

As we were  looking at the opaque/ sheer legwear  trend on the Spring 2010 runway Free People steps out with The Puzzle Piece Pants, that I of course can totally be into.
