Dark florals had a bit of a moment this winter, and I found myself swooning over these dahlia print tights from Nimble Activewear as soon as I laid eyes on them. The print reminds me a bit of lululemon's spring has sprung print, which I also love (see comparison below). After getting my hands on a 15% off coupon, I decided to give these tights a shot. I like that the Amelia tights aren't ...

This Week in Activewear: Cutouts, Colorblocks, and a New Blog to Read
This new Koral paragon legging dropped in amethyst this week. I'd seen the black before but I loooove the purple!! This color is a Bandier exclusive. Tempting! Alo's moto leggings have been really popular this season. I've been seeing white a lot more lately--Carbon38 added these this week. I love the white so much more than the other colors. There's pretty much no doubt in my mind ...

Disclosure: I received these three blueprint styles complimentary ...

Nike's are listed as "reflective silver", though I can't find any pics that show what the reflectivity actually looks like. These will only run you $85. Speaking of Nike, these power speed tights have been all over the place ...
Sports Luxe Athleisure: Sweaty Betty
One of the things I love about the athleisure trend is the push toward making clothes that bridge the gap between fitness and everyday life. Although I have a lot of workout clothes, I have a pretty minimalist approach to my "regular" clothes--it's a sort of accidental capsule wardrobe. From that perspective, I always gravitate toward styles that do double duty and integrate seamlessly with my ...
