Taking On The World In Style

It was the first official training of the season when our coach at the time announced that trampoline would make its debut in four years at the 2000 Olympics. I remember feeling so inspired, and hoping maybe one day I would get to represent my country at the Games... well I haven't quite got there yet, but I am so proud to know that I am part of a nation wide community that makes up one the strongest countries in trampoline gymnastics in the world.

Yes, trampoline and fashion do not really go "hand in hand," but in my view they do. Women in athletics are the most inspiring people both in sport and everyday life. Karen Cockburn and Rosie MacLennan are two of many Canadian women who are healthy, fit, and stylish.  They may spend 90% of their day in runners, Lululemons and sweaty ponytails, but underneath the sweat and spandex is two women with chic style! With their chiseled arms, washboard abs, and rock solid legs {this is very true, I once touched Karen's quad, it was just muscle and skin), these ladies could make a paper bag look good! Karen and Rosie are Canada's top trampoline athletes, and will be taking on the world this Saturday in the best outfit I can think of... red, white and a whole of spandex!

Jason Burnett will compete first for Canada tomorrow at 6AM Pacific Time.

Good luck to Jason, Karen, and Rosie the country, and trampoline community will be cheering loud and proud for you! Go get'em!

Put your back into it

Kat here! Recently one of my closest friends in the world and I were window shopping and we ended up (not to our surprise) at BCBG in the dress department.

Her fashion forward eye was directly drawn to an amazing floor length dress with an exposed back (she has a love affair with back-less clothing.) Naturally I encouraged forced her to try it on and needless to say it was absolutely beautiful and thus the inspiration for this post!

I definitely understand the appeal; there's something classy about bare shoulders, something mysterious about a subtle keyhole back opening, something sexy about intricate straps...

Added bonus, it looks great on everyone!
