The military style has been in since 2009, and is still going strong. This season, it's all about the longer military style shorts. Celebs like Kourtney Kardashian have been seen around LA wearing them recently and they're seeping into mainstream fashion. A blazer, especially in a dark color, is the perfect way to polish off any outfit. Layering the blazer over a button up is a classic preppy look that is unique when paired with the new military shorts style. Any type of heel looks posh with this style, but embellished t-strap sandals would also look great. Another thing that makes this outfit "pop" is a statement necklace layered in an unexpected place- underneath the shirt color, on top of the shirt.

Pop of health/fitness: Eat more egg whites. Egg whites give you more protein and less fat and cholesterol than with the yolk (for less calories too!) Egg-white omelets with lots of veggies make some of the healthiest breakfasts. Chop up anything you like: peppers, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, tomatoes, and toss them in the center of the omelet. Then fold the eggs over the veggies and cook briefly on both sides. Get creative and try new combinations to keep things interesting ­ for instance, try mixing salsa and avocado into your eggs for a change. Remember, as you add low-cal veggies, you increase the density and amount of food without noticeably adding calories. Information from: www.dietdetective.com/columns/guide-to-eggs.aspx.
