The harley tights by Alala are a moto-inspired design featuring ribbed and shine-finish blocked panels. They have a definite cool factor that drew me in, so I ordered a pair to try. I bought these in my usual Alala size, XS. They fit mostly true to size, except they seem a tad bit loose through the hips. If you're between sizes, I'd lean towards going down a size. The main fabric is a ...

Review: Lululemon Extra Mile Jacket vs First Mile Jacket
Continuing with this week's theme, I've got another lululemon showdown for you. This time, the theme is winter running jackets. I have the first mile jacket (in darkest magenta) from last winter's collection. This year, lululemon iterated on that with a new design: the extra mile jacket. Both are designed to be cold-weather running/active jackets and both were priced at $228. In this ...
Review: Lululemon Run On Bra vs Run: Stuff Your Bra
Lululemon's run on bra is a riff on lululemon's popular, past-season style, the run: stuff your bra (or RSYB for short). Lately, lululemon can't help themselves when it comes to redesigning old styles, so they took their proverbial hacksaw to the RSYB, and out came the run on bra.

I bought mine from Net-A-Porter, which offers free 3-day shipping, free returns, and really nice packaging to boot. I bought this in a size XS. ...
Werkshop Unicorn Leggings
It finally happened: unicorn workout leggings! I've seen a few pairs floating around out there, but if I was going to get a pair of unicorns, I wanted them to be just right. Werkshop is my go-to brand for high quality printed workout bottoms and they finally released the unicorns this summer. I like Werkshop's take on the unicorn design because it captures the fantastical elements of unicorns ...
Shoe Review: Brooks PureCadence 6
My Brooks PureCadence 6 shoes were my first pair of actual running shoes instead of cross-trainers. I picked my first pair up in grey/pink after getting fitted at my local running store, and have since bought a second color. I've clocked about 150 miles on my first pair of these, so I've gotten to know them pretty well. Here's how they've done. The PureCadence 6 is billed ...
