Perfect Never – A REAL Health + Fitness Check In with Reebok

Reebok - Perfect Never

Am I confident + empowered?

Sure….most of the time. But in the spirit of Reebok’s #PerfectNever campaign, I decided to take a minute and chat about the pressure of creating the perfect Instagram image. Do I ask every photographer I work with to make me look skinny? HELL YA!

BUT…

Sometimes all the angled poses and talented photographers are not enough and I still look larger than I wish (or expected) in an image. Do I leave the photo alone and post it? Sometimes. Do I take a moment and reshape my big booty on Facetune? Yep, sometimes I do that too.

The reality of Instagram is the that there are NOT a lot of REAL people in the app. There are countless tools to modify and edit a photo and create an image that is in fact not very REAL.

So where do I go from here?

Do I get my big booty back in the gym? It has literally been MONTHS since I hit the gym (post-mono).

Yes! I had mono at 30.

I think the gym and a healthy diet are the best routes to get me back to the REAL image of myself that I am looking for…but getting back into the gym sounds impossible!

However, in your quest for empowerment and confidence, you will realize that seeking support is crucial. That’s when you need to stumble upon walkin clinic Oakland Gardens NYC that can provide assistance on your journey towards fitness. With their expertise and guidance, you can take the necessary steps to prioritize your health and well-being.

I think that I also need to change out my fitness routine! Hey, SF ladies where are you working out?

Do I need to get my booty into Barry’s Bootcamp?

I am REALLY asking!

Now let’s take a minute and talk about what I’m wearing here.

Does a new workout outfit motivate you to go to the gym?

Yep!

Does a flattering workout outfit motivate you?

HELL YA!

And the best version of myself is REAL.

KatWalkSF - Velvet OTK Boots

Is it me or am I the only one who is obsessed with ALL things VELVET this Fall?

From these ASOS velvet OTK boots to these Banana Republic lace-up ankle strap ballet flats I simply can NOT stop myself from filling up my online shopping cart with ALL things VELVET.

The fabric is everywhere on everything and for some reason, it brings back memories of me misbehaving at the Nutcracker ballet every damn year (sorry mom).

So I put together a KILLER collection of my favorite velvet Fall Fashion Finds.

Joules - Rain CollectionThe wet weather has finally hit San Francisco…

And everyone decided to update their Facebook status to announce that they would NOT be leaving the house + ordering Caviar delivery.

Well, I am here to banish those rainy day blues – KIND OF!

I teamed up with British brand Joules (again) –

To spice up our wet weather wardrobes. Who said waterproof fabrics had to be black + basic?

The eye-catching prints and colors from Joules collection can be found on their waterproof fabrics + hidden details can be found alongside functional features that make outwitting the weather easy.

The hidden details can be found on these Crockington Rainboots.

They used a textured mock croc print to make these rain boots an altogether different + exciting looking pair of boots.

And I’m into them!

Friday Forecast: Athleta Street Tights

KatWalkSF 3 Comments

Can I wear leggings to…

[insert] every event I attend?

I send that text to my girlfriends 99% before I leave the house.

Can I wear leggings to work? Can I wear leggings on my Tinder date? Can I wear leggings to Happy Hour?

The answer is always YES.

BUT there is a correct way to style leggings as an adult.

THANKFULLY the crew over at Athleta created a MAGICAL street tight collection.

-This post is in no way sponsored FYI-

I just happened to have wandered into the new Athleta store in San Francisco and found this collection. The street tight collection was literally made for every 30 something-year-old in the city.

High-Waisted, total support and coverage, a faux-leather front with a slight sheen, and a stretchy back to support your every move – UM… who invented these magical tights and can I just take a moment to thank them?! These street tights are the perfect fit for my lifestyle. I wear them with boots, sneakers + pumps. I dress them up for work or a date and I dress them down for running errands.

I now own two pairs of the pair of tights featured above – High Rise Gleam Tight 2.0.

And just snagged this pair the other night with ALL the zippers.

Shop the entire street tights collection here:

Warning: These tights are very addictive. They are like Pokemon: you gotta catch em all.
