Get wet with Pochi - the perfect swim clutch!
Yeah yeah, you’ve got a million beach bags BUT do you have a beach-ready-pool-friendly clutch? Pochi Clutches ($32) are the most eye-catching and stylish water-resistant purses to hit the swim scene. A Pochi fits the essentials, like your iPhone, cash, keys, a Kind Bar and anything else pocket-sized that you want to carry with you as you make your way to beach volleyball. Comes in juicy summertime colors too!
Peekaboo Support Bra from MPG Sport
If you’re going to invest in a damn good sports bra, do it with the Flight Bra Top ($41) by MPG Sport. The Flight is breaking rules left and right by combining the soft features of a low impact bra with the supportive and moisture wicking properties of a high impact bra. The front ruching and color-blocked peekaboo fabric (that makes it look like another bra is stylishly layered underneath) are extremely feminine and flattering. Small chests with love the padding inserts and largest chests will love the strong crisscross back support.
The Slipper You Can Wear In-Flight Or At The Barre
My Blake Brody studio slippers ($105) get packed in my carry-on so that I can change into them on the plane. They’re super comfy; less restricting than a shoe but more supportive than a sock. After a cramped flight, I like to stretch out and sweat at a barre fitness class like Physique57. These slippers are allowed as a substitute for socks and they’re also a limited edition style.
Safety in Sequins
Biking can be dangerous, especially in urban areas (ahem, NYC) where people (ahem, cab drivers) drive like psychos. But as much as you want to dress with safety in mind, you don’t want to be a eye-sore. The Vespert bike vest ($138) from Vespertine helps solve that problem! It’s flashy in a “major” Fashion Week kind of way. Covered in Hologram silver sequins, The Vespert has a loose fit that’s slimming and easily slipped over a t-shirt. And you better believe those sequins reflect light! Anyone who runs you over in this vest is either blind or wants to steal it. I just bought my very own Vespert from designer Sarah Canner and can’t wait to cruise around in it!
Put More Than Water In Your Water Bottle
They may be longer than what you’re used to, but Sport+Store Water Bottles ($19.95) sure hold a lot! They’re great if you’d rather not carry a purse, gym bag or stuff your pocket with unruly keys. Just don’t forget your water bottle at the gym (like I always do).
Suede Hi-Top Wedge Sneaker by Isabel Marant
They’re not made for exercise (you’d kill yourself falling) but these nearly SOLD OUT fitness-inspired fashion hi-tops are too HOT not to mention because they’re a nice, sporty alternative to spiky heels. If only they weren’t sold out or so expensive ( $760 ). My advice is to put yourself on a waiting list (I actually found one) or just wait for less expensive versions to come out this Spring. The sneaker wedge style is trending and we’ll def see more of it!
Flip your seat open and store stuff inside on the NEW Fiets Urban Bike from Schwinn
Schwinn’s Fiets Bike for women ($299.99) is a smart cookie of a bike because it features a sweet seat that opens up to store your stuff. Forget dealing with a purse! Just throw what you need into the inner seat compartment (like your gum, wallet, iphone, keys, maybe even a banana). Flip it back down and hop on your seat (without a single worry about crushing your valuables). Way better than a fanny pack. right?
The Anything But Classic Reebok High-Top
Check out Shenae Grimes rockin’ these really funky Reebok Classic Chi-Kazi sneakers ($89.99) in West Hollywood while shopping. I love how unexpected and 80’s these kicks are. I bet they’re a lot more comfortable than shopping in heels! Take a fashion cue from Shenae and wear them as your accent piece with all black.
Long Warm-Up Jacket from GIVE Apparel Meaning
My new GIVE Apparel Meaning Jacket ($100) was an unexpected find because it’s tailored, warm and travel-friendly. I love the collar and thumb-holes which give it a look that’s both sporty and transitional. I wore it to the airport for Mexico where I’m vacationing now, and it’s come in handy for windy beach walks. It’s quite the seasonal piece which I know I’ll also wear in the NYC cold. Definitely a great holiday purchase for a fit lady of any age!
Vita-Beverages: Hard Nutrition & ACTIVATE
Sip your B’s, C’s, D’s, anti-oxidants and more by filling your fridge with vitamin packed drinks like Hard Nutrition and ACTIVATE. Hard Nutrition comes with a vitamin medley stored inside each cap. Don’t be scared—the packaging explains everything from supplement info to how to take them. Blackberry Lemonade is the tastiest from Hard Nutrition’s line-up.
ACTIVATE drinks require a twist of the cap to release vitamins into a lightly flavored water. Just shake and sip! Take them to the gym without feeling guilty because the vitamins inside boost your performance and recovery. The calorie count is low too, with Hard Nutrition averaging about 40 calories/serving and ACTIVATE having 0-5 calories/serving depending on flavor. Blueberry Pomegranate is my favorite from ACTIVATE (0 calories!).
