The 3 F's of Athletichic

I was looking back at my posts on here and I noticed another trend amongst the topics, besides football and fashion. Fundraising! Its nice to imagine that in some way, even if it is small, Athletichic can help make a difference.

My roomie was at the Penguin autograph signing last night and she met a man that works for the Hero Program. I hope you take a moment to visit their site, its an amazing organization!

Right now they're holding a raffle for a Penguins Players Autographed Tile Mosaic, pictured below. I want a 100 tickets!!
Good luck! :)

RIP Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen passed away on the first day of Fashion Week, so sadly I did not have time to give him a proper goodbye blog post.

McQueen was such an amazing, talented designer who really believed his shows were works of art and not just a way to make money. That is a quality I really truly admire in a designer!!!

With his funeral today, I thought it would be appropriate to finally have my goodbye post to him. What a fashionable crowd that came out to pay their respects.....

We'll miss you Lee.... :(

Mistake by the Lake, its official according to Forbes

I read last week about Cleveland being named the most miserable city in America, according to Forbes magazine. I was going to let it go without saying anything, because to be honest, I feel bad for them. I have some dear friends that are from Cleveland and it kind of breaks my heart for them.

This changed when my BFF reminded me that we can use this next year when those dear Browns fans refer to us as Shittsburg (yes they usually spell it wrong) And it is all in good fun. :)

So my friends, keep this in mind for next football season...fact..Pittsburgh most livable city in America...fact..Cleveland most miserable city in America. :)

The top 10 most miserable cities

1. Cleveland
2. Stockton, Calif.
3. Memphis, Tenn.
4. Detroit
5. Flint, Mich.
6. Miami
7. St. Louis
8. Buffalo, N.Y.
9. Canton, Ohio
10. Chicago

U.S. Olympic Bobsled Team wants you to go for the gold

I thought this would be a nice message to share with you while we're all in the Olympic spirit!



The new website they have created to help you stay fit and eat right is a great tool we can all use!

Go team USA!

History Uncorked 2010: Black & Gold Celebration

I've been looking forward to the History Uncorked 2010: Black & Gold Celebration, since I read about it in my Pittsburgh magazine last month! Can't wait to network and drink, all the while celebrating Pittsburgh sports!! :)

Hope to see you there!

Shaun White Denim Snowboard Pants

So I've felt a little out of touch with the Olympics, since I was in NYC for fashion week, and didn't have the chance to sit and watch any events. Well upon arriving home last night, my roomie ST, yelled for me to come to her room! I thought maybe she was so happy to have me home she wanted to see me one last time before she went to sleep. That was not the case. :) She called me in to show me Shaun White's sweet snowboarding gear.

Honestly, how adorable is this. Now, I realize I am looking at this from a total outsiders pov, as I've never snowboarded in my life, but this outfit is so fashionable considering the usual options!

After some research I found that Burton the company that makes the pieces is not selling them, yet! I have a pretty strong feeling they will be on the market after how well Mr. White did last night!

Go Team USA!!! :)

Lookout Pittsburgh

I had to get this post up before I left for Fashion Week! How cool are these Fashion Citation pads from ModCloth!

I've been waiting years for something like this! I plan on passing these out everyday. They're amazing!

The Saints love their trophy

My college roomie Karly has an awesome family, honestly some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Part of the awesome family is her brother Zach, who happens to play for the Saints (#64) I couldn't be happier for them, after all of the time and love they dedicated to helping Zach succeed, as well as Zach's hard work and dedication, its nice to see such a great thing happen for them. Congrats!

I'm off to NYC for Fashion Week, so I won't be posting for awhile. I'll miss you dear readers while I'm gone. Stay warm!

Happy Superbowl Weekend!

I'm sure everyone and their mother has seen this commercial by now, however, I thought this was the most appropriate send off for you for Superbowl weekend.

GO SAINTS!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Hi readers! Its my birthday, so I've felt extra overwhelmed all day, so sadly this post will be extra short!

My good friend CJ asked me to join her, Race to Any Place team this year! I'm very excited, I know its crazy to think this time last year I was still deathly afraid of spin class, now I'm participating in a bike'a'thon!

Why don't you put a team together and join in on the fun??? :)

Another Hodepodge day, Big Ben and PETA

As a follow up to my Olympic mention yesterday, I thought it was only right to share PETA's website about the Vancouver games with you. I know not everyone always agrees with PETA but in the case of the baby seals, I can't really see an argument for it...

Part of my daily routine for years has been to read Page Six on the NY Post website, it rarely features athletes from non-NY teams. So imagine my surprise yesterday when I was clicking through and saw this face...

Apparently according to the story Ben dropped $10 outside of a Chicago night club a nice girl tried to return it to him and he acted like a jerk and wouldn't acknowledge her. I totally believe this story because my friends once bought him a shot when we saw him out one night and he totally ignored her. Oh Ben, why must you act like a diva?!

Are yinz getting excited for the winter Olympics??? I sure am! Look how awesome that goalie mask is! Our very own, Ryan Miller will be sporting that this year.

I've always enjoyed the winter Olympics more because when I was younger it was easier to pretend to be a figure skater, than a gymnast or pole vaulter. Anyway..go Team USA! :)


On to my other random topic for the post, hence the title of the post. After you're finished donating $ to Haiti relief efforts, like these kind Baltimore homeless people, perhaps you would like to buy these for me for my birthday...

I've been looking for the perfect yellow pump for I kid you not, over 5 years, and here they are.
And only $625! What a steal. *Tear*

Happy Groundhogs day Phil and your girlfriend Phyllis!!!
