For the Fit Fashionista: Splits59
It’s no secret that we’re fans of lululemon (especially FBG Tish). When it comes to buying workout apparel, they just seem to have the best quality, fit and material. But lately? Well, there are some new players in the fitness-fashion house. Players that are challenging lulu for her best-workout-apparel crown. Players like Splits59. This was [...]
Brooks Running Review: Skorts and Layered Tanks Galore!
Looking for some new running apparel? We are at it again, reviewing some more new pieces from Brooks Running! While I tried the Glycerin Skort, Tish tested the PR Mesh Skort, and we both got to review the D’Lite Mesh Tank. (And remember, while we are a Brooks Running blog ambassador, these reviews are totally, absolutely [...]

Zobha Ella Tank Review: ‘Smashing’ Good Fitness Apparel
When the folks from Zobha casually mentioned that the pink tank they were sending me was the same kind of top that the gals from the new show Smash wear, I groupie-geeked. I love that darn show, and I love the little get-ups they’re always wearing while practicing for their Broadway debuts. You’d think I [...]
Brooks Running Shoes: They’re Baaack (With Friends!)
Last week, FBG Jenn shared her thoughts on three new Brooks Running pieces, and today I’m doing the same. Woot! The Trance 11 There’s a pattern starting to form here. I start to run; Brooks running shoes make their way onto my feet. It’s magic, really. For my first marathon, I decided I was going [...]
Apparel Review: Moving (in) Comfort This Summer
Now that’s it’s summer, we can’t get enough shorts, tanks and Ts. And a sports bra that claims to be the best of the best? Well, we just had to put it to the test. Hey, that rhymed! Read on for our thoughts on a few pieces from Moving Comfort’s spring/summer line. We likey—and think you [...]
KiraGrace: Workout Clothes to Make You Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty
All of the workouts I’ve been doing lately are either super intense (i.e. sweaty) or pretty casual. I might do a little yoga here or there, but most of the time it’s just stretching in front of the TV with my PJs on (hey, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it). This means that I [...]
Finally! Toning Apparel That Doesn’t Make Us Feel Like a Sausage!
Since the whole body-toning thing became all the rage, we’ve been rather candid about our dislike of apparel that either claims to do more than it can actually deliver and/or “slims” you by making you feel like a sausage. After all, no one feels attractive when they think of themselves in terms of processed meats. [...]

Filed under Apparel, Current Reviews, Giveaways, Past Giveaways, Reviews
There’s a not-so-much talked about issue in the fitness fashion world: nipping out. You work out, get sweaty, cool down and then—boing!—the ladies are cold and at full attention for the world to see under that cute moisture-wicking sports bra or tank. Oftentimes, we women have to choose between a heavy, padded bra that hides [...]
My Favorite Summer Workout Outfit
When the weather is this hot, it’s hard to look cute in anything when you work out—or when you’re just out walking around. While we certainly don’t have to look cute when exercising, we’d be a fool to say we don’t appreciate cute workout apparel over, say, a ratty cotton T-shirt from high school. While [...]
