When it comes to working out, you'll usually find me in a large random T-shirt and a pair of leggings that aren't nice enough to really wear as an outfit. But now, as the summer is coming to an end, I've promised myself to keep up with my exercise. It's funny how being excited about a new garment or outfit can motivate us to get up and do something. With that and my promise in mind, I went searching for cute and affordable workout wear. Check out what I found, after the jump.
Bloomingdale's Has Just The Dress For Your Wonky Elbow!
Sometimes I think Jezebel is a little too anal in their war on Photoshop (for example, I disagree that Rolling Stone gave the women of "Mad Men" "brand new torsos"); however, sometimes the blog hunts down some truly gross examples of retouching gone wrong.

H&M Scores Lanvin Collab In What Is Probably The Biggest High-Low Coup Yet
The speculation and rumors have been confirmed. Lanvin will indeed be designing a collection for H&M, due in stores November 23. Although H&M wasn't planning on disclosing the answers to their mysterious designer interview videos, the interwebs went nuts after guessing that one video featured Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz, so the retailer released a clip revealing Elbaz's face. In the video, the he says, "When H&M approached us to do this collaboration, they asked if I could actually translate the dream that we created at Lanvin to a bigger audience. It wasn't a project about a dress for less ... I loved the idea that H&M is going luxury rather than Lanvin is going public." Interesting. Does that mean we can expect price points to be higher than normal for H&M?
