Fashion Porn: Workout-wear Orgy

workout orgySchool is in full swing, which means you’ve got classes, student groups, long hours in the library, late night binges after a long night of drinking….

And you gotta fit the gym in there somewhere.

I know, it’s always the first thing to go when things start getting busy, but it shouldn’t be! Working out regularly will keep you fit (obvi), and also help ease the stress and give you that much needed energy to get through those 16 credits, rush meetings, group projects and everything else you need to get through before Friday.

If that’s not enough to motivate you, perhaps some cute clothes will do? It’s obviously not easy to pull yourself out of bed and trek to the gym when you look (and therefore feel) like crap. Those baggy sweats and dirty t-shirts aren’t doing anyone any favors, especially you. And with all the super cute workout-wear that’s out there right now (in every. single. price point), there’s no reason to look drab for the gym. If you’re super busy, you can pile this stuff on before class and sneak in a workout during lunch; the clothes are so cute, no one would ever know. And if you’re just lazy, having cute and trendy pieces around will make you feel better and motivate you to get your butt moving. (It really works!)

If you need a kick in the (yoga) pants to get back to the gym, I’ve got 16 right here for ya. Enjoy. Read More »

Seeking: Cute Yoga Clothes, Stat!

yoga.jpgWhether you’re new to yoga or an old pro, nothing makes you want to get up and get your Om on like a cute yoga outfit!

There are some seriously stellar yoga duds out there these days: functional, comfortable, and adorable. How awesome is it to not lug around your workout clothes, because they’re cute enough to wear out and about for the rest of your day? And no more excuses for skipping out on yoga class; when you’re wearing your clothes, you can’t forget to bring em along.

If you’re as dedicated to comfort as I am, you’ll be thrilled to have some pieces you can throw on still be cute. Because, let’s be honest, the paint on my favorite sweatpants has never kept me from wearing them in public regardless of how awful they look. And for a yoga class? Well, they just don’t work.

My favorite yoga goods are below, but I’m always on the lookout for fabulous new fitness finds. If you’ve got some I don’t, let me know!

Lululemon: If you’ve been anywhere near a yoga studio recently, you’ve seen a Lululemon logo. This brand has the definition of a cult following. People are obsessed with it, and for good reason. They have a bazillion styles of bras, tops, pants, shorts, anything you need, and all in pretty colors and flattering cuts. I love love love this polka dot number. No shlumpy workout clothes here! They use top quality fabrics that wick away moisture, strategically placed mesh to keep you cool, and you can totally wear them around all day without looking like you’re on your way to work out! As a bonus, they’ll hem any pants for free, so everything will fit you like a dream. Read More »

Sweet Vintage Shoes… Without the Time (and Smell).

I love vintage things, but the concept definitely weirds me out. You just don’t know where that gold lame blazer or floral prairie dress has been. I have to wash anything I buy thrift at least three times before I actually wear it, and vintage shoes, even when awesome – looking, are off – limits for my hygiene’s sake.

Apparently, Nike is ready to bank on my vintage shoe phobia. The shoe giants have crafted a brand – new line of vintage – looking shoes. These sneakers are replicas of true Nike originals, made with fresh materials that only look aged and decrepit. Genius!

 

Which vintage kicks are the coolest?
