Sweater Weather!

 
Sweater weather is officially here and here to stay for the season!  Since Soybu launched their Winter line, I have been totally crushing on the Yvette Tunic.  From the length of the sweater, to its amazing back cut-out-detailing to softness I have been living in this shirt! 
 
 
 
 
The tunic comes in 5 great colors.  I couldn't decide on just one, so some of my girlfriends will be getting this tunic for Christmas ;)  Which is your fave?

Soybu: The Gigi Pullover

One of my favorite pieces from Soybu's latest collection is the Gigi Pullover!  This light and oh-so-comfy-cute sweater is an incredible transition piece as we start to transition from warm Summer days to cool Fall evenings.

Soybu's Mod Nouveau Collection

Soybu's newest collection Mod Nouveau has landed!  Pops of tangerine and turquoise make this new collection perfect for Summer 2015!

I wore the Dhara dress yesterday for Easter festivities with my family and was so comfortable I forgot I was even wearing a dress ;) This dress will get tons of wear this Summer!






I am also crushing on this sweater.  Its super light weight and has an eye catching open back design.  It comes in several colors and is on sale right now!! I would have never thought to layer it over a maxi dress as they did, but am really digging this fresh look! What do you think?

A Pop of Leather

Sexy meets sporty with these fashionable yet functional pieces.  I love the luster that a pop of leather can give an outfit so when I came across these items at Athleta, I was ecstatic! Because my job basically requires me to live in workout gear, yet also have to quick change after teaching a class to look presentable for a meeting, I am all about pieces that can transition from studio to street. Both the tights and the hat function and look incredible during workouts, and then I am able to simply throw on a tunic and a flirty pair of booties and I am feeling fabulous to take on the day!!   
Check out these flirty pieces:

A Step on the Wild Side

Cheetah and zebra and leopard- OH MY!  Every girl I know has a love affair with shoes (even if they don't like to admit it!)  The same thing goes for a great animal print.  Now take those two and pair them on a Nike Free running shoe.  I don't know about you, but I am out of this world obsessed!!

I purchased these shoes back in November and get compliments everywhere I go- seriously everywhere.  I even encountered a grown woman at the grocery store jump up and down in excitement as she asked where I got them :)

Although cute, these shoes are made for serious movement, whether you're in a group fitness class or hitting the cardio machines, or out shopping with your girlfriends, these sneakers offer a barefoot like feel for better performance and a natural range of motion.


Shop them here:  Silver Leopard Nike Free  and here:  Pink Leopard Nike Free

Gear up for Spring in some of my favorite modern mesh bottoms that are all super stylish, with sweat-wicking fabric, opaque coverage and a tight fit to keep you feeling confident and comfortable as you move from studio to street.
