4. Avatar

I know, it has been in theaters, but I just had to list it. Who hasn't seen this? It takes part in a special world that goes past our imagination. A hero takes part in an adventure trying to save the alien world that he has started to call home.

7 Ways to Wear Luxe-Sport …

Posted: 17 Apr 2010 09:54 AM PDT

Sports seem to be taking over the world at the moment, so its no wonder that this trend is back! Forget your tracksuit and tennis skirt, though, this isn't a straight revival of sports clothes. This time its mixed with girly influences to give it a glamorous look… I've been searching out the best seven ways to wear it, and here they are!

1. Corso Como Fred Perry Tennis Dress

Price: $68 at asos.com
This dress is perfect for the monochrome look! Team with a black belt, black heels and stylish hair (think a glamorous bun rather than a sporty pony) plus some stacked bangles and a cute necklace. It gives a stylish, sexy and cute take on sports-luxe, without making it look like you are on your way to the gym. I love it!

2. Fred Perry Jessica Tennis Dress

Price: $76 at asos.com
Okay, so this is very similar to another one, but I couldn't resist including it. It's got such great structure, and it's perfect for vintage inspired sports-luxe! The contrasting red and white is a great starting point, so simply add red heels and a red belt, or go casual with nude heels and sunglasses. An effortless way to channel sports, and retro!

3. Red Stripe Over the Knee Socks

Price: $10 at asos.com
I was unsure on sporty over the knee socks until a rather daring friend of mine invested in some, and teamed them with denim shorts, a vest and a ponytail. She got so many compliments, and even a few phone numbers! Remember to team them with heels, and for these ones, high reed heels would look amazing. A plain jersey dress would look super cute, too!
