You may not be eating as healthy as you think you are.

So, where do I go to get my favorite sneaks and workout clothes? Read below where this runner gets her kicks – and looks.

Marshalls. I swear by this place. They have everything from sneaks to sports bras to running pants and Under Armour for those chilly workout days. And it is all way cheaper than you would find at a regular store.

Dick’s. Get your mind out of the gutter, ladies. I am talking about Dick’s Sporting Goods store. A close second to Sports Authority (which, despite its top notch designs for workout attire, packs on a heavy price tag), you can find the best name brands for lower prices than other chain athletic stores.

Old Navy. Wife beater tanks in a billion colors, yoga pants and athletic shorts…all for under $15. You really can’t beat that.

Ebay. I know, sounds risky, but you can find Nike, Reebok, Adidas, New Balance and many more brands on this site. All you need to know is your size. Don’t know off the top of your hand? Run to a store, try on the gear, then come home and purchase what you want online for less than you’d pay anywhere else.

Ross Dress for Less. Similar to Daffy’s, Ross Dress for Less is a discount store that offers name brands at extremely (I’m talking $5 tops ladies) low prices. Google and find if there’s a store near you; they have stores in 27 states.

Campmor.com. If you like to camp, hike, climb or do anything outdoors, this website geared toward rural workout interests in perfect for a person on a budget. You can view the complete catalog, equipped with clothing, eco-friendly workout products, socks, shoes and other gear. Check it out!

Kohl’s: This store is often overlooked, but it is a gold mine of good deals. They have all the best brands in workout gear and they are always on sale. Oh, and while you’re there, you should check our their Vera Wang line. (What? You don’t get sidetracked sometimes?)

Steve and Barry’s. You can find more than just SJP’s Bitten line here. This store is known for their discount styles without cutting the quality. Definitely a great place to stock up.

Outlets. Nike, Reebok, Puma and Adidas all have outlet stores that offer the name retail priced clothes, discounted. So, find an outlet near you, pack up some girlfriends and head out for a day of shopping!

There you go girls. Now you have no excuse not to hit the gym.

Go get those clothes and get your workout on!

Nickelodeon sweetheart (has-been? has-she-ever-been?) Amanda ‘A is for awkward’ Bynes will be introducing her new clothing line, Dear, in Steve & Barry’s stores on August 16th. Police are still in the process of investigating which hallucinogens Steve and/or Barry were on when the line was approved.

If you were one of the innocent channel surfers who fell to witness Bynes’ tragic sitcom flop on her show with Jennie Garth and that guy from Saturday morning TV circa 1998, I’m sure you are shaking your head in utter confusion to this painful news.

If you, in even more dreadful circumstances, were unjustly subjected to that She’s the Man soccer flick where not even Channing Tatum’s fantastically sculpted abs could pardon a pre-pubescent male-disguised Bynes who seemed misled to believe that apparently speaking under the guise of a muddled Southern accent would make her seem more manly, then you will undoubtedly be unable to fathom my next five words: her clothing line is worse.

Having taken a peek at what’s in store, I can’t help but wonder what rock I was living under when plastic beaded jewelry and clothing adorned in hot pink hearts and stars became the new runway chic. I’d bet a Benjamin that Bynes wouldn’t even wear that mess.

The whole appeal of clothing lines at Steve & Barry’s is, celebrity style for under twenty, correct? But the unfortunate truth is that the only people willing to be caught dead in such a get up as the ones Dear’s put together, would be my senile great grandmother who tends to think her cat is an ottoman, or my four-year-old cousin, who can spend up to six hours talking to herself inside of a cardboard box.

I understood the Bitten attempt, Sex & the City for cheapies, it made sense. But this? Bynes? Why.

At first there were a few labels by celebrities like Sean John by rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs and L.A.M.B. by singer Gwen Stefani. In these beginning stages the public could realistically believe that these few celebrity/designers had a genuine interest in contributing to the fashion world.

It wasn’t long before other celebrities smelled the money making, publicity friendly empire. Labels consisting of basic tanks, oddly shaped jeans, and tacky looking accessories were assembled and thrown into the market. Countless celebrity fashion lines later, it’s quite obvious that this is no longer about the clothes.

As the consumer, we can easily dodge crappy labels and opt to spend our money elsewhere. However, the consumer is not the victim in this story. Those who suffer from the carelessly assembled celebrity fashion labels are young up-and-coming fashion designers. These kids who have wasted thousands of dollars at design school and slaved away for hours in front of sewing machines only to discover their work doesn’t mean a thing. Sadly, an overpriced t-shirt made from cheap material “designed” by a celebrity is generally going to sell quicker than an interesting piece by a breakthrough designer.

Of course there are still a number of individuals around who appreciate decent style and give a handful of young designers the chance to succeed. It’s not impossible for a nobody to break through and become recognized for their extraordinary designs, but this obstacle makes the process a hell of a lot harder.

Personally, I think that most of these celebrities should just stick to what they’re good at- singing, acting, whatever it may be. Of course their clothes will sell, but no respectable woman will ever view a J-Lo velour jumpsuit as the height of fashion. Give the designers a break and if you must, invade a new industry.

The spread in this month’s Glamour looked so promising too, all the outfits looked more or less lovely, if a little uninspired—until I read the captions. The dress that caught my eye in one shot was actually by Burberry, the striking top in another was by Oscar de la Renta, the fabulous jacket by Chanel… Only the most basic and quite frankly boring pieces where actually from the new line.

I wish I could show you proof of how completely mediocre these clothes are, but lawyers from Steve & Barry’s are hassling all bloggers who post pictures of the new line (speculation is that the clothes are going to be revamped because nobody but Oprah seems to like them).

I suppose you get what you pay for …the collection will include jeans, lingerie, casual wear, and accessories ranging from $8 to $15. In the interview with Glamour, Sara Jessica Parker says that her clothes “are not setting a trend. We’re not Balenciaga. They’re well-made clothes that feel of-the-moment.” She’s not lying.

“It’s about affordable, well-made American sportswear. It’s about fashion not being a luxury,” she says. “It’s really, really important to us that it be good, feel good, have a life, that it make a difference in your life and that you have money left over to live.” That’s all well and good, but I don’t want people to fall asleep just looking at me. Anyone can make a cheap pair of jeans or a striped shirt. If I wanted that, I would go to the Gap. The point releasing a clothing line is to bring something new to the fashion arena, like Gwen Stefani with L.A.M.B. If you’re going to release boring stuff, market it for the middle-aged or just stick to hawking perfume.

It looks like Steve & Barry’s won’t be successful anytime soon either. Amanda Bynes just signed a deal with the company to create an exclusive collection of clothes and accessories. What does she even wear?! I haven’t even thought of this c-list actress since her illustrious days on kiddie TV. Well, I guess we can all wait to bash her line until the Aug 10 launch. I’m not holding my breath.
