Despite my substantial activewear collection, somehow I've ended up lacking good options for hoodies and casual jackets. With the weather cooling off, I decided to spring for Athleta's stronger hoodie to see if it fit the bill. I took the tags off this jacket right before 4-day trip to southern Utah a couple weekends back and I ended up wearing it literally every day. Since then, I've worn ...

Alala Harley Tights Review
The harley tights by Alala are a moto-inspired design featuring ribbed and shine-finish blocked panels. They have a definite cool factor that drew me in, so I ordered a pair to try. I bought these in my usual Alala size, XS. They fit mostly true to size, except they seem a tad bit loose through the hips. If you're between sizes, I'd lean towards going down a size. The main fabric is a ...
Review: Lululemon Extra Mile Jacket vs First Mile Jacket
Continuing with this week's theme, I've got another lululemon showdown for you. This time, the theme is winter running jackets. I have the first mile jacket (in darkest magenta) from last winter's collection. This year, lululemon iterated on that with a new design: the extra mile jacket. Both are designed to be cold-weather running/active jackets and both were priced at $228. In this ...
Review: Lululemon Run On Bra vs Run: Stuff Your Bra

The RSYB is my all-time favorite running bra, so I decided to see how the new run on bra compared. Here's how it ...
Review: Adidas by Stella McCartney Knit Run Jacket
This lovely dark blue Adidas by Stella McCartney jacket made it onto my pre-fall favorites list and I ordered it shortly after. At $200, it's pricier than most jackets (lululemon's similar jackets are $118), but I liked it enough to give it a try. I bought mine from Net-A-Porter, which offers free 3-day shipping, free returns, and really nice packaging to boot. I bought this in a size XS. ...
Werkshop Unicorn Leggings
It finally happened: unicorn workout leggings! I've seen a few pairs floating around out there, but if I was going to get a pair of unicorns, I wanted them to be just right. Werkshop is my go-to brand for high quality printed workout bottoms and they finally released the unicorns this summer. I like Werkshop's take on the unicorn design because it captures the fantastical elements of unicorns ...
