A dear and ultra-fabulous friend is embarking on her first ever fly-fishing and cattle drive trip this fall.  She, a Beauty Industry Executive, and a group of other chic women like her will be spending two weeks out of the comforts of the fashionable ensembles, heels and luxurious spa treatments they’re accustomed to, to enjoy the simple serenity of nature and the outdoors.

Prada Fall 2009

Well, let me introduce the perfect boot, any first-class city-slickin’ woman needs on such an adventure. The Prada Thigh-High Wading boot, of course! I saw this Prada ad in the September Vogue and was floored by their unfunctional fabulousness. On a fly-fishing/cattle driving/get-back-to-nature excursion, they’re a functionally fantastic must have!

My workout bag

Like any fashionista, shopping is my cardio! However, I do still drop in to the gym to keep it tight in those special areas once in awhile.

Wednesdays are my real gym days and like usual, I spend the entire drive to my dreaded workout trying to rationalize hitting the mall instead. Today, no exception. I say to myself as I’m cruising by Scottsdale Fashion Square, “If shopping is my cardio, doesn’t that make the mall my gym? Salespeople, my personal trainers – they keep me looking and feeling fabulous?” Mmmm…

No rationale was worthy today. I made it to Pure Fitness and just as I slung my “workout bag” on the table of my friend and personal trainer’s desk, he laughed and said, “That’s your workout bag!” Haha!! Ever the shopper am I!

On the subject of working out, if you’re interested in Pilates Corps in Scottsdale is hosting a Mind, Body & Bubbly class Thursday night at 6:00 p.m.  Enjoy a complimentary workout or just observe the class with a glass of bubbly! Love it!! Check out www.pilatescorps.com.
