    Chic Sneakers

    When the athleisure trend took the clothing world by storm a few years back, it gave us a reason to buy new clothing that was not already in our closets. Clothing that is fashionable and comfortable? No one was going to stop buying that anytime soon and so, instead of athleisure being a trend that was in for a season or two, it is now a staple in our closets.

    Just as we were impressed with the newness of this workout wear that was now stylish enough to wear for errands and brunches, it is only logical that the next thing to complement these looks would be fabulous footwear, which has come in the form of these uber chic sneakers.

    While these sneaker inspired shoes cannot be worn for actual workouts, they are as comfortable as they are chic. Have fun styling them-the options are endless. You can wear them with casual dresses, skirts, shorts, pants as well as the obvious-leggings.

    Stay stylish this spring and add a pair of chic sneakers into your wardrobe!

    Bisous,

    Rebecca

    FASHIONABLE FITNESS WEAR

    In January, it seems that most us are focused on keeping health and fitness at the forefront of our goals. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, there are an endless number of parties and celebrations that it make tough to stay on track with healthy eating and workouts. It feels good to refocus and start the year with a clean slate. Not only do health and improved physical appearance inspire me to get to the gym, but new workout wear can add some additional motivation! With the endless choices that are available, it is easier than ever to look fashionable while doing activities of virtually any kind. Check out some of the fitness clothing and gear that allows you to look fabulous while getting your fitness on.

    WHAT TO WEAR

    I remember going to LA many years ago and the Lululemon boutiques being a highlight of the trip. They paved the way for premium workout wear and, now, there are more brands than you can count and at a variety of price points. Kate Hudson’s company, Fabletics offers fashionable looks at reasonable prices. Some of my favorite places to shop for fitness apparel include Sweaty Betty, Carbon 38, Adidas by Stella McCartney and Peony and Me.  I could not resist this Spiritual Gangster tank and the Le Sportsac bag is the perfect size for gym essentials. 

    FOOTWEAR

    If fitness clothing has progressed, fitness sneakers have come just as far. Have you seen some of the options?   Nike, New Balance, Adidas…all have updated fashion selections. My recent favorites are these Athletic Propulsion Labs sneakers. 

    GEAR

    From beautiful yoga mats to pink boxing gloves…even fitness gear has incorporated fun colors, designs and styling. The yoga mat featured is from La Vie Boehme, who offers a gorgeous assortment of printed yoga mats.

    TECHNOLOGY

    Whether you are using a smart watch, Fitbit or other fitness tracker, there are countless options that are stylish and functional. Music is essential to my workouts and so these gorgeous Caeden wireless headphones keep me in the zone.

    WATER BOTTLES

    I have several of these S’well water bottles…they keep hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold for hours. I came to work one morning and had ice cubes left from the day prior. The 25 oz size also holds a bottle of wine….for those non-workout occasions. 😉

    Freshen up your fitness fashion with some of these pieces and stay motivated!
