Ecotot: Dittany Baby "Green" Skid Pants

LilSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:05:51 PST

Leg warmers are big in lil apparel right now, and a mama who is looking to keep up with the trends while staying eco-friendly can dress her tot up in Dittany Baby "Green" Skid Pants ($12). Made from recycled cotton, these adorable leg warmers will not only keep her legs (and arms) warm, but they'll also protect her knees from rug burns and scuffs while crawling, learning to walk, and playing. Look for them in stores or get a pair online.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Sunday Football

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:00:22 PDT

Last weekend, my friend threw a Sunday Football bash and I asked you to help me find a cute casual look for the festivities. Sure enough, I indulged in sinful cheesy dips and BBQ wings, but no regrets here. That's what exercising is for, right? I had so much fun, I even stopped by my parents' house and joined my dad in watching the evening game.

I started you off with these Falke Striggings Arm Warmers ($29) because they were sporty and cozy. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by maria212134, is all about sporty fun. Those vintage Chucks are dope, and I'll skip the cute cardigan since I have my trusty arm warmers.

Trendtotting: Chunky Legwarmers for Chunky Thighs

babysugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:40:10 PST

It's almost too much to ask to cover up those delicious little rolls of dough on baby's legs, but these leg warmers make it worth it. A stay-at-home mom started BabyLegs to make diaper changing a cinch whilst keeping her daughter's legs warm.

BabyLegs legwarmers, $12, come in a variety of colors, adorable designs, and different lengths in case your babe is super long or extra tiny.

Besides loving them for their adorable designs, I am a fan of the cotton warmers because they keep my little one's knees supple and scar-free while she zooms around the house. And, with Old Man Winter knockin' on the door, I might stock up on a few more pairs.

BabyLegs - Pink & White Herringbone ($12)

BabyLegs - Orange & Blue Striped ($12)

BabyLegs - Black and Blue Skulls ($12)

Trend Alert: Leg Warmers

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:16:00 PST

There is perhaps no Winter fashion more fleeting than leg warmers, but that's no reason not to buy a pair! Seriously, these retro cold-weather accessories may be silly, but they are also highly practical for this season's leggings and skinny jeans styles, so why not wear them while they're hot? Just try not to wear your leg warmers at the same time you're sporting a pair of arm warmers.

Alice + Olivia Leg Warmers, $117, available here.

Hearts Leg Warmer, $18, available here.

To see the rest,

Rubbish Leg Warmers, $16, available in five colors here.

American Apparel Leg Warmers, $14, available in 11 colors here.

Simone's Striped Leg Warmers, $25, available in four color combinations here.

Alice and Olivia Leg Warmers: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:13:48 PDT

From wide belts to footless leggings, there's no arguing that 1980s styles are sneaking into the Fall 2006 fashion trends. But seriously, can we really herald the return of leg warmers? For years, fashion magazines have been warning that they might come back into style, and just yesterday, I spotted these Alice & Olivia Leg Warmers for sale here for $117. Though I'd never pay that much for leg warmers, there's just something about this silly fad that makes me want to dress my lower legs in these cozy tubes of warmth. What about you? Love it or hate it?

Body of Work: The Top Fitness Icons

Fitness Magazine — Tue, 29 May 2012 04:15:12 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Fitness Magazine here on FitSugar!

Bionic and iconic, these game changers have inspired us over the years to perspire and put our best body forward. Take a cue from our 20 favorite masters of motivation as they share their secrets to getting better, fitter, stronger than ever.

The Rock (Hard) Star: Gwen Stefani

Before Gwen Stefani began strutting her stuff as the superfly front woman for the otherwise all-guy band No Doubt in 1995, the role of female lead singer tended more toward being a sexpot than having a six-pack. The blond bombshell, now 42, brought a new athleticism to the stage with a bod she credits to "lifting weights [and] a little boxing."

The Legend: Jane Fonda

She has played many roles - Oscar winner, political activist, billionaire's wife - but for millions of women, Jane Fonda's legacy is all about leg warmers. It was 1982, and fresh off her triumph in On Golden Pond, one of Hollywood's leading ladies, at the age of 44, decided her next act would be as a fitness guru. Workout: Starring Jane Fonda, originally on VHS and Beta, remains the best-selling fitness video of all time, having sold 17 million copies.

"It launched the home fitness video industry and made it okay for women to have muscles," Fonda reflects. Only years after its release did she reveal that the cover photo of her in a striped leotard and those maroon leg warmers, legs scissored skyward, was that of a woman who had embraced exercise as a way to save herself from bulimia.

In 2010, despite hip and knee replacements, Fonda was back in the studio - wearing yoga pants now - to film her Prime Time DVD series targeted at inspiring older people to move. At 74, Fonda loves hiking up mountains, and she has a body most 30-year-olds would envy. Her secret? "It's one-third good genes and less than one-third diet, and all the rest is working out," she says. When asked what's next, Fonda demurs. "I don't know. And if I did, I wouldn't tell because I wouldn't want someone else to get there first."
