Looking for a new routine to keep that back-to-school weight at bay? After giving a shout-out to our favorite Southern beauty queen this morning, I just couldn’t resist giving you a little workout inspiration to mix things up a bit. Please note that all exercise should be done wearing a specific uniform: leggings, silk, & espadrilles wedges. Trust me ladies, your booty will thank you!

Oscar de la Renta: Pageant Queen Needs a Happy Pill
While Spring styles are debuting in NYC for Fashion Week, let’s take a look at your Fall wardrobe.
In case it isn’t obvious, I often wonder what designers are thinking when they put together their collections. The stories and inspiration fascinate me to no end. So when looking through Oscar de la Renta’s Fall collection, I couldn’t help but do the same. I pictured a beautiful woman traveling around the world, there were bright colors and playful hats–and then the evening gowns hit.
I am not kidding; my reaction was visceral. I hated these gowns. But why? The cuts weren’t outrageous, the billows mimicked the rest of the collection… and then it hit me: the makeup, the big shoulders, This was Suzanne Sugarbaker gone mad!
It was if our favorite Southern beauty queen had dropped her basket, gotten on pills, dropped 75 pounds, and decided to walk down Oscar de la Renta’s runway.
Then, I found out John Galliano was backstage. That’s ok Oscar, he’d make me crazy too.
