I love teal and I love stripes, so I knew this pair of leggings would find their way to my closet sooner or later! These newbies are just as beautiful in real life as I hoped they would be. K-Deer's Caroline stripes were made in collaboration with Carbon38, and are named for C38 cofounder Caroline Gogolak. All the K-Deer stripes support a different charity: the Carolines ...

Lululemon Hotty Hot Shorts Review
I've been a diehard fan of lululemon's speed shorts ever since I started wearing lululemon. I have about 20 pairs and seriously wear them non-stop all summer. Lululemon's shorts category is one of their strongest in my opinion, so I generally expect good things. Enter the hotty hot shorts. They've been around for a couple seasons now, but I've admittedly had a hard time breaking out of my ...

Disclosure: the printed power leggings in ...
The Perfect Lululemon Tights for Petites
There's very little activewear out there that's marketed as "petite", but that doesn't mean there aren't lots of good options. If you ask me, 7/8 length bottoms are the BEST length. It's usually a spot-on full length for shorties, and the long, slightly cropped look is great for taller women, too. With my 5'3" height, lululemon's inspire tights are one of my favorite pairs. Since they're ...
One Simple Rule for Cultivating Self-Confidence
[ezcol_1half] [/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end] "Sorry about the breakouts." "Please excuse the awkward pose." "Sorry for the messy hair." "Sorry for the belly fluff." I used to say things like this all the time, and I see other women using these little disclosures all the time, too. When I started writing this blog, I noticed how often I wanted to say ...
