athliesure workout wear for the holidays

christmas is four days away!

only four days? how did it arrive so quickly?

i have to admit, this week, i am scrambling to 

finish last minute shopping, errands, and gift 

wrapping. are you caught up? if so, 

please tell a girl your secret.

disclosure: brooks running graciously provided me the top, jacket, shoes, gloves, and headband 

photographed in this post. as per usual, all opinions are my own! and thank you again,

brooks running!

whether you're heading to the gym,

out to coffee with girlfriends, or catching up on

last minute holiday errands (like visiting the 

christmas-tree farm), brooks running has you covered.

from your jacket to your sports bra and shoes,

brooks offers high quality, yet reasonably priced 

athletic wear for men and women. they're 

local to washington, too!

i have lived in my revel road running shoes

for the past several months. they're comfortable,

supportive, and stylish! i love the chic, 

black and white fabric; they seemingly match

all of my workout wear. priced at $100,

the revel show is perfect for my fellow runners

(and fashionistas) on a budget.

don't let cold weather interfere with your

active lifestyle! here in the pacific northwest,

layers are your friend. a down vest, headband, 

and tech-friendly gloves are the perfect accompaniments

to any workout. psa: my greenlight gloves have a

small magnet at the base of the wrist, allowing

me to attach them to one another after a workout

(no more wondering, 'where on earth did the 

other glove go?').

i often find myself missing workouts

during the holiday season. a hectic calendar, 

chilly weather, and frequent invitations to

happy hours and holiday parties make the gym

a lackluster priority. however, keeping active 

(even if it means walking laps around the mall 

while window shopping) is important to my physical 

and emotional health and wellness.

versatile clothing, such as my canopy jacket

and workout tights, allow me to easily 

transition from one activity to the next. i 

can no longer blame a 'lack of workout gear' on 

missed gym dates. in 2018, i am determined to keep up 

with my active lifestyle.

how do you stay motivated and healthy

during the holiday season? let me know in

the comments, and happy holidays!

xoxo.

casual chic

monday calls for casual wear for this girl - bring out the

t-shirts, distressed denim, and tennis shoes, please!

after a (very!) large breakfast, far too many cookies and chocolate covered raisins,

and an afternoon on the couch in celebration of easter, 

i was more than happy to wear a comfortable tee and denim today.

lularoe graciously sent me this tee to style.

the knit is incredibly soft, and i love the baseball style and geometric print!

founder of lularoe, deanne stidham, was a single mother 

to seven children when she started her business endeavor. she began 

by liquidating end of season dresses after meeting two inspiring dress wholesalers. 

with their support and encouragement, deanne launched her own clothing

line, which is now lularoe. the clothing is comfortable, stylish and affordable!

additionally, all clothing is made in the united states and is available

in a wide range of sizes.

^^^ the mission behind lularoe is empowerment: 

'i believe in you' and 'you can do it.' ^^^
