I mix and match my Vuori at all times. It’s my weekend uniform for pilates, yoga, and daily jogs. I’ll even toss on a kitten heel to switch into date night for evenings because that’s just what New Yorkers do. We’re multi-tasking. We’re walking 24/7. I’m always up and moving and I like my wardrobe to reflect that. Working with Vuori on this ambassadorship has been an absolute dream come true and inspires me to continue getting outside and being active and soak in a little daily sunshine. A good workout set reminds me to tune in with my body. This is a season of feeling energetic and alive.

My moves are limitless with the extra bold Calzedonia Active Legging. I completed the look with a wrist band, sun, and a whole lot of positive energy. This is a brand I know, trust, and love. I visited their headquarters in Verona, Italy for the iconic Intimissimi runway show a couple years back and can always count on them to bring me quality Italian legwear for any day of the week. So which color are you getting? I chose gray green.

// Carbon38 workout looks //

Jumping rope with a dash of pastel pink and pretty blues in Carbon38. I loved shooting these two looks for their #YourMove campaign. My outdoor workouts feel much more exhilarating when I have a bold color palette to match my mood. It’s time to stock up on a bunch of summer brights for every single one of your cardio sessions! Who else is having an arms day?

I will spending a lot more time in and around the home this weekend so this dancer is keeping things comfortable. Leg warmers. Leotard. Extra glamorous puffer jacket. KHRISJOY gives our winter staples a totally new kind of chic. Tweed perfection. Now this is a look that’s perfect for plié-ing across the living room floor, don’t you think?

I do pilates everyday and I now incorporate Bala weights into my routines for that little extra strength. I just got my hands on the power ring and I can’t get enough of it! 10 pounds, easy to grip, and allows me to move freely and get creative in my moves thanks to it’s versatility. Oh, and it’s pretty chic right? Great for pressing, squatting, and swinging. I’m eyeing it in pink. Who knew weights could be so cute?

I think I have the most fun when it comes to athleisure. NO KA’ OI mixes the spirit of Hawaii with incredible Italian-made design and quality. Here I am taking my nightly stretch in the most sick workout look I own. I’m in love with the 70’s inspired colors and stripes complete a futuristic, elegant touch. Check out that puffed sleeve and sleek silver shine. I don’t think you get more editorially high fashion when it comes to going to the gym. So brilliant. I might be home stretching out those sore muscles and doing yoga in my living room, but honestly, I can’t wait to take this top and style it up for fashion week. Who else thinks it’s a good idea?! I love when athleisure/workout gear can easily transform into something I can take to the street. NO KA’OI, you surprise me every single season.

In the fall and winter, I spend a lot more time in my workout gear. Fall for evening runs. Winter for the gym…my favorite place to keep warm during a snowstorm. Therefore, I am constantly on the hunt for absolutely killer workout gear. Meet NO KA’OI, a super chic workout line that pushed boundaries in their eclectic, unique design. And guess what?! Their new collection just launched at Barneys, my top destination in discovering elevated and  emerging brands. Tracksuits with a rainbow down the side?! Count me in. NOKA’OI does color blocking unlike anyone else out there. See why I’m so obsessed?

The NOKAI’OI microfiber sports bra and leggings fit like a glove. The design accentuates every single curve…and hugs me in all the right places. I like to feel super comfortable and free when I workout…this microfiber fabric is flattering in every single way. I took this poppy orange look down to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade for a little kickboxing session with my trainer at sundown. I’m holding onto this perfect weather, and getting outside and in the fresh air as much as possible. Sweating it out is my way of unwinding at the end of the day. There are many days that I never change out of my workout clothes…I can go from brunch, to pilates, to errands, to walk in the park. The camouflage-striped microfiber jacket, bra, and pant is my ultimate weekend look. It stops traffic, it’s edgy, and I can move in it. I’m dedicating the coming colder months ahead to my body…feeling strong from the inside out. Dressing the part helps me get there.

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been so caught up with so much last-minute work and holiday travels that I’m dying to get my butt back in the gym. Luckily, I’ve got the Equinox All-Access pass and I’ll be out here at the one in Marina Del Rey to do a little pre-Christmas sweat when I’m away from my home gym in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I want to end the year strong, and begin it strong as well. It should never just be a New Year’s Resolution. It’s a little mental daily goal. A little sweat energizes me, gets my brain waves flowing, and gets me more excited for the day. Getting in a good sweat makes me feel even better putting on my outfit for the day. When my body is in sync and healthy, everything else in my life feels extra in sync as well. Work, relationships, and living in the moment. I even remember to take my vitamins and eat my veggies. It reminds me why I should love my body and the skin I’m in. I never want a workout to feel repetitive, so I’ve thrown in many Equinox classes into my mix to keep myself inspired with every single sweat.

– For my breath: Vinyasa Yoga. It’s what I need as a cool down after a good cardio workout.

– Flexibility and toning: Gold Barre Pilates. Most of the time, I’ll do pilates on a reformer, but like anything, I want to switch things up. Gold Barre Pilates is a combo of barre and pilates, but inspired by ice-skating and the Olympics, something I was super obsessed with growing up. It’s so fun you forget how intense every move is when you have a smile on your face.

-Strength training: MetCon3. This class is super high intensity metabolic training class. It’s a mix of weights and cardio. After this, you’re definitely ready for a hearty brunch with your best friends.

– Core: 30 minute abs. This intense and quick class is perfect in the evenings. It uses weights and is a completely innovative way in working your core to the max. Plus, you learn some really amazing moves you can do at home or on-the-go.
