Workout Wednesday

Many of us, when WFH ( working from home, ) wear some form of activewear. I happen to live in my "Yummie" Jodi Yoga pants while writing each post. They are both shapewear and activewear. After all, Zoom meetings only require that you look good from the waist up! This edit features  styles that you may not already own. They will make you look and feel good while staying active. 

Vento Cinched Pant & Jacket
Oh my! I just love this set. It's somewhere between funk and functionality! Pieces sold separately. 
Koral Jacket   Koral Pant

The Empower Bra & Core 
Strength Legging
Available in six colorways, but I loved the cloud ombre color the best. This set will keep you locked in while looking luxe and feeling comfy.

Be the shining star at the gym (if yours is open) in these metallic leggings with masks to match. The masks are lined with mesh, to help you stay cool.

Lifestyle T Shirt

Now why wear a plain white tee shirt, when you can wear this. The word "lifestyle" is key here, because it's also good for wearing outside of the gym. It's super soft, made in a supima soft-modal jersey blend.

Aren't these fun? They are playful and filled with pride.

Saturdays At Shop This: Let's Hear It For The Girls

{ Via: Etsy }

Happy weekend! Tomorrow we celebrate women on International Women's Day. Don't you think we should do that every day? Something we can all do today is to patronize female-founded businesses. Follow these links to some of my favorite women in business and the products they sell.

   
Diane Von Furstenberg is someone I have always admired. She has accomplished so many great things. I love how she gives back and empowers other women to be "in charge." If you enjoy her styles, like I do,  shop her website this weekend and save 20% on full priced styles with 
Code: INCHARGE.

Lauren Santo Domingo: Co Founder of Moda Operandi. She is one of the most authoritative figures on New York’s fashion circuit. I happen to think that Moda Operandi is THE premier destination for luxury fashion. I ordered holiday gifts from there last year. I was impressed with the customer service and presentation of my gifts. You owe yourself some window shopping there!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Emily Weiss is the founder and CEO of the cosmetics company Glossier and the blog Into the Gloss. Her makeup line is the definition of
 no-makeup makeup. If you are a minimalist when it comes to beauty and skincare, I urge you to take a look at her line. I love the packaging.  It's very "cool girl."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Amrita Singh: I have long been a fan of her fashion jewelry. Founded in 2003, Amrita created her jewelry for girls and women who love a good statement piece and want to play with trends—without breaking the bank! This weekend you can shop her Modern Pearl collection. It's faux but fabulous and on sale!

Spanx: "It all started with a pair of pantyhose, some scissors, and a bright idea." In March of 2012, Founder Sara Blakely, was named the world's youngest, self-made female billionaire by Forbes Magazine and one of TIME's 100 most influential people.  If you have not tried her shapewear,  I would start with the 
Bra-llelujah! It's super comfy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Anine Bing: Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Anine Bing, thoughtfully curates each piece in her "see now, buy now" monthly collections where she marries edgy and feminine in a soft meets hard design approach. I happen to love her elevated essentials. As an example, her Arrow Shirt in zebra silk represents her soft side. And on the opposite spectrum, the Liza Croco Jacket is the hard design. It's my favorite piece of the collection. Loving that high shine!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Goop: I so admire Gwyneth Paltrow. It seems that she and I are interested in the same things ~ good quality, well made fashion, beauty products without toxins, and keeping an open mind about almost everything.  I always learn something when I visit her website. I especially love the podcasts.
And the weekly articles vary from 8 Ways To Reduce Anxiety to Clean Beauty & Why It is Important. Grab a glass of wine and click on over to be inspired about life. 

 

 You go, Girls! Just be you, and always dance like no one is watching.

The Covered Leg: It's In!

{ Via: Neiman Marcus }

 One of my favorite Fall accessories is a good pair of tights. Recently I discovered that no one I knew wore tights or hosiery under pants. Really? I think that maybe they have not discovered Wolford tights. They are so comfortable and durable, that I have actually slept in them before. The covered leg has been in and out over the years. This year it is in a big and bold way, and I couldn't be happier.  Think, fishnets, lace, and bright hues. Scroll down to get a leg up on this chic and covered Fall trend.

HERE: 13 Legwear Looks To Love

Satin Opaques
These are my favorite of all! Super comfy. They look dressy on the leg. Opaque eye-catcher: "Shimmering and opaque with a touch of glamour and luxury, enhanced with the finest satin feel. Thanks to a special plating technology, the material is more durable. The soft knitted waistband ensures a perfect fit." P.S. the color shown is "Hawthorn." I wear the black

Pearl Back Seam Tights
This is some serious fashion! The classic back seam is given a new look on the innovative PURE 50 tights thanks to the 70 hand-applied, mother-of-pearl pearls from the ankle up to stay-up height

Spanx Tight End Reversible Tights
How clever! This light control choice reverses from one color to another - and both choices include a black side.
