It's review week on the blog! I was in Las Vegas this weekend, anytime I'm in any sort of major city it means major (window?) shopping time. So, I spent a fair amount of my time in lulu being one of those obnoxious people who hauls like half of the store into the fitting room. All for a good cause, i.e., you. ;) Here's the first batch of try-ons for your consideration. Reviewed in this ...

Ivivva Speedy Shorts Review Versus Lululemon Speed Shorts
Admittedly, this post is a bit overdue, but I finally broke down and purchased my first item from ivivva a couple months ago: a pair of hey sailor stripe speedy shorts. Ivivva is the "mini" version of lululemon--many of the products and fabrics are very similar, but ivivva is designed to be for children.

Review: Olympia Activewear Naxos Crop Legging in Jet
These naxos crops by Olympia Activewear had been on my wishlist for ages. When Carbon38 was running a 20% off flash deal, I pounced! I love the geometric contrast of the black and nude. I've talked about the fabric Olympia uses in their bottoms in my last review. The polyester blend is lush and soft, but slick like lululemon's luxtreme, not cottony like supplex or luon.

White Hot: Koral Activewear Gauge Capri Review
Alternate title for this post: "HOLY CRAP, how are these white pants not sheer?!?!" Koral Activewear is the fitness branch of streetwear brand Koral. Like many brands around here, Koral is in the business of high end, fashion forward activewear. Their line gravitates toward abstract, edgy designs rather than feminine and frilly.
