Slim Down for Summer with That's Fit

Going grey can be great!


In the 80s, did you have grey jazz shoes? Or are we showing our age? Maybe it's a little fashion nostalgia, but we're kinda into grey again.

This spring grey has been everywhere, from shoes to nails to dresses. We're loving the subtle and sophisticated ways the shade is being used, with creativity far beyond gym shorts and heathered wool sweaters. Grey is showing up in patent leather and organic cotton and everything in between.

When worn right, grey can be incredibly polished and flattering. Of course, some things are still better in color. We draw the line at grey hair -- you'll find us at the salon for regular root touch ups.

Check out the gallery for seven stylish grey selections.

Payless on the Runway

FashionKitty's recommendations at ThisNext

Payless is really stepping up their game by selling designer shoes. During New York Fashion Week designers Lela Rose, Abaete, and Alice + Olivia all showcased shoe from Payless (shoes that they designed). All of the shoe collections are pretty great, much better than I would expect from Payless.

Abaete- Designer Laura Poretzky was excited to design a line of shoes that everyone could afford. Her shoes are easy to wear, as the heels are not too high while the shoe remains sexy. Her line for Payless also has sunglasses, watches, and handbags. Prices range from $14-$30.

Lela Rose- Casual luxury is the name of the game for Lela Rose and her collection certainly embodies that. I love her polka dot pumps the most but I am also a fan of the sling back flats -- and I am not even a flats girl.

Alice + Olivia- Contemporary designer Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia has created an exciting and affordable line for Payless. I can't get enough of these bright yellow wedges; they are sale too for a cool $32.99.

Buy these shoes and the rest of the collections online or at Payless stores.

Workout with Alice + Olivia's yoga gear

Fashion label Alice + Olivia (whom I love for their cute sequin pieces) is going all sporty on us. No, they aren't taking the Stella McCartney route with a line for a major sporting brand like Adidas or Nike. They are incorporating yoga pieces into their newest collection.

As a big fan of Ashtanga (a type of yoga) I was curious, so I checked out their website for more details, but it is under construction. I checked the next best place, ShopBop.com. ShopBop did have pieces from their "yoga" collection. Why the quotations? Maybe because these so called "yoga" pieces just look like regular clothes to me that were just re-branded to target a new audience.

Some pieces from the collection include bodysuits, leggings, and tanks with prices starting in the $68 zone. I have a few problems with this. First of all, bodysuits? The last time I wore a bodysuit was in the third grade ... during ballet class. I cringe at the notion of wearing a bodysuit to yoga! Can you imagine the pain of the bodysuit, um, riding up? Ouch. The second problem I have is paying over $20 for leggings I plan on sweating in. Leggings for fashion is another story, but being drenched in sweat doing downward dog in $68 cropped "yoga leggings" doesn't do it for me. I will just stick to my cheap target leggings and sports bras.

*Oh and don't you just love how ShopBop has the model in heels while modeling yoga pants?
