// Bala floor series in blush, Port de Bras jumpsuit //

My daily pilates workouts are so much cuter with the Bala Floor Series in blush. The play mat has extra support and grip. The hourglass roller is what I use on my back to unwind each night. The balance blocks are so versatile that I can find a million ways to plank to work my arms, core, and legs. The floor series allows me to move better and love my body even more.

// Calzedonia Active Legging. Intimissimi In Action bra // 

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.

Meet the incredible new lululemon Fast + Free Crop Nulux collection. The Nulux fabric makes me feel nearly naked in the best sort of way. It’s that lightweight!! And when I’m working out, there’s nothing better and more motivating than feeling like you can run on top of clouds. Basically the Nulux collection is the next best thing to getting naked, without actually having to get naked.

The Nulux fabric gives me that that barely-there, airy sensation that I’ve been on the lookout for in my workout gear. This bra and legging provide the perfect lightweight coverage while keeping me feeling dry even when I’m sweating like crazy in my high intensity workouts. For me, I love circuit and interval training. That means sprinting in place, bear crawls, kickboxing (with or without the weights and boxing gloves), lunges, and so much more. All of these circuits energize me. And even though it’s hard work, they push me to go harder the next time. I’ve never felt more confident with my body until I discovered my strength in HIT. And I keep getting better at it each and every time. Lululemon just makes it even easier on my body by making it feel free in class. The Nulux fabric is the only thing right now that absorbs any sweat, keeps me dry, and feels crazy smooth on my skin. It’s like butter on my body, it’s that good. With spring and summer ahead, I’m taking my workouts outdoors, and keeping the intensity extra high. With the Nulux collection, I have even more reason to get my sweat on.
