I got my first pair of Sweaty Betty's power leggings last fall, which I wrote about here. More than 6 months later, they're still one of my go-to pairs of bottoms. Since then, I've added two more pairs of power leggings to my repertoire. I styled them two (completely!) different ways in this post, and at the end I'll share notes on fit and function. Disclosure: the printed power leggings in ...

Review: Allbirds Wool Runners
As a lady with approximately 29,483 pairs of leggings, I'm always looking for new ways to style them. Shoes are the quickest, easiest way to transform an outfit from "just walked out of the gym" to "just chillin." I found a new brand of shoes, Allbirds, that makes merino wool sneakers.

Heck, I love them so much I even got married in one. I'm also a fan of K-Deer's striped leggings, so when they introduced a new stripe style that benefit America's national parks, I was ...
Varley Union Tights in Aluminum Snake
Recently, I've heard a huge wave of positive feedback about Varley's tights, so I decided it was high time to put their gear to the test. Their designs have a sleek, luxe look that I've always really liked. I was perusing some new arrivals and was drawn to the Union tights in aluminum snake. I decided to order them along with the Biona tights in marble, then keep whichever of the two I liked ...
