Lululemon's textured wunder under tights are some of my favorite pants, ever. They're a winter staple in my closet that I wear and buy over and over. These variegated knits are my 4th pair of textured, full-length wunders currently gracing my closet.

Athleta Powervita Marble Salutation Tight Review
Athleta debuted their powervita fabric last year, as an answer to lululemon's nulu fabric. It's designed primarily with yoga in mind, and aims for an ultra-soft, ultra-flexible feel while still being technical. I first tried Athleta's powervita fabric on their mesh salutation tight.

The main fabric is a ...

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 ...
New and Noteworthy: Alala Custom Tights + Lulu Align Updates
It's another week of big activewear drops! Strap yourselves in. Alala rolled out Alala Carte this week, aka custom captain ankle tights. You can choose from quite a few colors for the upper panel, bottom panel, and mesh insert. Plus, you can add a 3-letter customization (your initials or otherwise) to the bottom, too. What NikeID did for shoes Alala Carte does for leggings. As far as ...
