Sweaty Betty Power 7/8 Mesh Leggings

According to the team over at Sweaty Betty, these are the ‘I can do anything’ leggings. Designed for over seven sports in super stretchy fabric designed to flatter where it matters. The mid-rise waist and new wet look and mesh panels have led me to want to wear them for everything, exercise optional. OK, OK I’ve worn them once to a Barry’s Bootcamp class and multiple times to brunch – either way, they are well made, flattering and in full rotation in my fall wardrobe.

The Sweaty Betty Running Cap of my dreams:

I have spent a great deal of time looking for the perfect cap for running, so trust me when I say, this is the running cap of my dreams. This sleek running cap doubles as a timeless accessory and provides a flattering way to keep the sun from your face. The elasticated strap ensures a comfortable, adjustable fit and allows me to run without fear of it falling off. I found pretty early on in my training that I had to wear a cap and training in sunglasses just didn’t work for me – insert the running cap of my dreams.

Sweaty Betty Studio Workout Bra

Do I rule the studio in this high stretch medium support sports bra? Hell Ya! The racerback style with supportive under band and ribbed lining help me to rule the studio in style. I love the ombre pattern and it pairs perfectly with the mesh leggings.

My Misfit Activity Tracker:

Misfit’s leather and metallic sports bands use sensors to help monitor and inspire change. Some of my favorite benefits are sleep tracking and steps. This fitness tracker is also stylish enough you’ll want to wear one at all times and smart enough that you can.

Check out my full review of the MisFit tracker here.

The Only Gym Bag You Will EVER Need – The Dagne Dover Landon

Yes. Yes. Yes, this bag was given to me and I am 100% obsessed with it. This travel-savvy duffel bag is the perfect companion for long-weekend trips or everyday life if you are me.
The interior features: a padded laptop sleeve (because I always have my laptop), a removable mesh pouch for your essentials + a pocket perfectly sized for a water bottle. A handy pocket on the back of the bag is the perfect place to tuck away your passport or phone or sunglasses…the possibilities of this bag are endless and the neoprene fabric is oh-so easy to clean. Spend the $185, buy the bag.

Travel With Me and The Only Pair of Shoes You Need This Season

Thank you to Famous Footwear for kindly sponsoring this post and the Hotel G in San Francisco.

Writing a travel blog post from 35,000 feet up in the air seems fitting, right? 2017 has brought a significant amount of travel to me and with that, I have really learned the ins and out of travel style. Now, I am well aware that I will NEVER look like Victoria Beckham when I exit the aircraft, but that doesn’t mean that I need to look like a bum when traveling.

Travel style is tricky, but I think we can all agree that comfort is key when you are hitting the road. For me, this starts with my footwear. If my feet hurt you can see it on my face and my body language. With that in mind let’s take a minute to chat about the perfect travel booties, the Kipling Peep Toe Bootie by Circus from Sam Edelman. Aside from their $39.99 price tag, these booties are a travelers dream.

Let me give you a couple of reasons why:

  • The 3 and 1/4 inch stacked heel gives you just the right amount of height without killing your feet. The stacked heel is key for comfort. You will never find me in a stiletto at the airport!
  • Booties with a cooling effect? Yes, that does exist. The perforated upper on these booties provides for a nice cooling effect. Nobody likes sweaty feet!
  • Stability. Traction on the outsoles of these booties provides stability. There is nothing chic about running to the gate and slipping because of your booties!
  • An adjustable buckle slingback strap. We all have different sized feet and we know that, so an adjustable strap is necessary if we are going to be strutting our stuff in style at the airport.

San Francisco based ethically-made minimal clothing brand Everlane is popping up for the next month at our go-to retailer, Nordstrom. From September 29 to November 12 you can shop some of their best-selling styles at select Nordstrom stores and online!

 I am a major fan of the brand and have basically built my wardrobe around their affordable classic pieces. From the wide-leg trousers that I am wearing above, to “The Day Heel” that I can be seen wearing nearly every day around the streets of San Francisco. AND I am serious about these heels. They are BEYOND comfortable. Check out my full blog post on “The Day Heel” here.

Another Day, Another Kimono. How to style a summer dress into fall with a kimono.

Fall is finally here – according to the calendar (not the weatherman). Either way, we can’t go bopping around town in our summer staples anymore! It is time to introduce fall fashion into our wardrobes

&

What does fall fashion call for?

COZY CARDIGANS – VELVET EVERYTHING – BOOTIES – KIMONOS – FAUX FUR COATS

Now, let’s take a minute and talk about the benefits of styling a kimono. If you follow me over on Instagram you are more than well aware of the fact that I wore my favorite kimono regularly during my trip to New York for fashion week. I wore that kimono so much that it actually became a running joke between me, my friends and my Instagram family (check out my post on it here).

Well during that trip I found that the kimono was the perfect transition piece for taking my summer dresses into fall. For example, take the camo-print slip dress in today’s post. The perfect dress for summer, but a little on the skimpy side for fall. Throw on a kimono and you are good to go!
