Fashion/Gift

The only thing you'll flash in this run skirt is a hot pink peek-a-boo undershort.

I don't blame runners for craving a late afternoon summer run, especially after a long day of work. I'm a runner...I get it. I blame runners for not taking the time to coordinate their run attire for comfort and style. A perfect run comes from feeling energized, comfortable and confident. We feel our best when we look our best, even while exercising.

That's why I put this run outfit together using pieces from Adidas by Stella McCartney, Sweaty Betty, Garmin and Nike. They're not too expensive and they'll go the distance for your summer runs. If I could tear myself away from my laptop for a smooth 3 miler right now, this is what I would wear. In fact, I'm going for a run as soon as I finish this blog post.

This cap has a visor brim because let's face it we all need a dose of sun but don't want to be blinded by it. Don't forget to apply SPF before heading...

I had a busy week of testing out Nike's new Rebel Sports Bra (mine is white). I tried it out at Fight Club (a kickboxing club I belong to), ran 4 miles in it, and put it through a 90 minute soccer game. Thanks for the support, Nike! Overall, the the Rebel Sports Bra didn't look very pretty but it was extremely comfortable and supportive. I'm a 34C and found that I could adjust the bra in multiple ways for a perfect fit.

THE PROS:

The seamless construction was so comfortable unlike many bras I own that cut into my shoulders and become painful after a while. The soft, seamless construction on the bottom made this comfortable enough to wear to midday class and then keep on.  

The perforated holes in the front and back provided ventilation and comfort.

The Rebel is adjustable in the back and along the straps. I made it very tight, which I like. I love this design feature which allows the Rebel to...

WE ALL NEED A LIFT

Whether you're flat as a board or run with a bounce, this selection of my favorite sports bras will style and support your girls. They're all tried and tested by my minimally endowed self with the help of boob inserts to ensure a "universal" fit. That's possibly TMI (too much information) but I'm looking out for everyone here.

BEST OF THE BEST

I highly recommend all Moving Comfort sports bra styles. I love them because they have built-in contoured cups which give small girls a huge boost and bustier girls a sexy lift. They're are also made with UV protection fabric and wicking for odor control. You really can't go wrong with this brand. If you don't see a style you like above, check ZAPPOS for more Moving Comfort options. 

I'm also very excited about the Cardio Sports Bra by PolarUSA. It has a built-in heart rate monitor to help you measure your workout intensity and track your results. But seriously, I love every sports bra shown...
