As someone who's cold basically all the time, I have a soft spot for all kinds of layers: sweaters, jackets, sweatshirts, you name it. Alala has been hitting the sweatshirt game hard, so I was really excited to have the chance to try out a whole slew of their current styles. Here's how they shook out. And lest you think that there's only one way to wear an active fashion sweatshirt, I mixed ...

Lululemon Down for It All Vest Review
The temperatures are cooling off, and that means I'm adding to my stash of warm layers. I decided to try out lululemon's newest insulated vest, the down for it all vest in beautiful dark adobe. The down for it all vest is designed for running or other active outdoors activities, so it's a low-profile design intended to stay out of your way, and is therefore less puffy than a casual vest.

A lot of people have said that powervita is similar to lululemon's nulu, except ...
Follow-Up Reviews: What’s Stood the Test of Time
One of the things that I've always wished could be a part of my reviews is the long-term piece. I always make an effort to wear a style a couple of times for a workout before reviewing it, but what about after that? Once I've had a style for a few months, do I still like it and wear it? Did it fall apart? That's the purpose of this post. Below, I'll go over a few items I've had and worn for ...
