Workout Wear

secret shopper

Joggers, Pilates fans and workout buffs will rejoice at D’Aerobics, a sparkling clean, air-conditioned “sportswear” shop. They have oodles of nice workout clothes – shorts, tops, sports bras, hoodies (as if), capris and long pants, all made with good-quality cotton/lycra blends. There’s a rainbow of tasteful solid colors in every style, nice dressing rooms, and prices are more than reasonable: Capris range from $99-$189, shirts are less, and only the jackets seemed to be more than $200. One location is about three blocks in from the malecon on Avenida Rotarismo (the light just north of IMSS), between Mariscos El Torito and El Guayabito Jugos – look for the bright turquoise and hot pink building on the left. A second store is in Juarez near the flea market, both owned by the same sister-brother team, Yosed and Zenaido Herrera. Cash only; open Monday-Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

For a Frederick’s-of-Hollywood-style lingerie experience, head to Centro, to the bustling corner of Melchor Ocampo and Teniente Azueta, one long block up from the mercado. Feminina anchors this corner with often eye-popping displays of barely-clad mannequins in peek-a-boo teddies, colorful fishnets and other naughty “outfits” ostensibly designed for the bedroom. Owner Lety D’Rodriguez opened her shop 25 years ago at the suggestion of her hubby and it’s been going strong ever since.

Whether you’re looking for form or function, the bathroom sink can help you win the battle of the boring bano

It’s one of the most important items, in what is without a doubt the most important room in your home.
