refresh your summer look

OMG. I was at the Lululemon store yesterday to check out those Speed Wunder tights, and freaked out when I noticed the Refresh Maxi Dress II by the cash register. My last Lululemon freak-out moment happened two years ago when they released the Noir dress; and I have been hoping for more dresses like this one for, well, two years now.

Love the long and fitted look, stretchy cotton fabric, the racerback back, and the side slits for a sexier look; and the heathered grey color — it's not black!! Ha! Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my new go-to dress for the summer.

Where to buy? Lululemon

the lulu dress. in real life.

This Lululemon Noir dress is better than I thought it'd be. I just can't stop wearing it. In that case, from brunch to the red carpet. <3

curves much?

I believe the only reason Lululemon would start selling dresses is because wearing them will motivate you to work out more. The Noir dress hugs your body in all the right ways; it is made of Lululemon famous sweatpant soft stretchy fabric, it is comfy, and can be worn two ways: as is / as pictured or the other way around / the back in the front. It can be hemmed to your ideal length, although I love that below the knee length. All is all, it is the perfect little black dress to dress up or dress down as you wish, and take with you on trips.

backpacking. kinda.

I have been looking for the perfect commuter backpack forever. It has to be practical (read: hold all my work and workout crap all day, every day), it has to be comfy (read: if I go for a backpack, it has to have my back more than all of the one shoulder fashion bags I own), and it has to be fancy (read: I don't want to look like I am climbing Mount Rainier, EVER). The Marc By Marc Jacobs Loco Domo Packrat Backpack is just that: Classic black like most of my outfits (sadly), trendy gold zippers all over, ultra light and comfy, and so very cute!!

#rawrrr

This TYR Zion swimsuit is fierce. I was drawn to it the minute I saw it. I did ask my most stylish BFF for her two cents though, because it's not your typical swim practice design. As soon as it was 'approved', I clicked on the BUY button. #BOOM

Although I usually go for blue swimsuits, because blue on blue, water, etc., this swimsuit looks best in the black / orange hues. Get it on the TYR website or on swimoutlet.com. #BOOM

beauties

I have a thing for Nike Air Max running shoes. I love the style, the support and all the fancy and flashy colours they come up in. Nike took those to the next level though, and recently released the Flyknit Air Max. They are made of a woven one-piece Flyknit upper, they are ultralight, and the pink and orange on black colours is so. very. perfect. Two words: Oh my. Or: In love. Or both.

holy smokes batman

More Lauren Moshi goodness. More nerdiness. More goodness overall. Love, love, love this Batman fitted hoodie. You'll turn head everywhere you go. Guaranteed.

because unicorns

Lauren Moshi. Comfy Hoodie. Unicorns. Done and done.

Bonus: This hoodie is ON SALE. Extra bonus: Take an additional 30% off with code 30MORE. Unreal.

enjoying the journey (pants)

First time wearing the Journey pants, and I love love them. As expected, they are just as comfy as the Wunder Under crop, only a bit more fancy with the mesh fabric in the back. Which means you can only get more followers. Ha! Also: Salmon crossing; and GO UBER. Haha!

gimme fancy

Probably not the best-est angle but this shot showcases the Lululemon Journey pants perfectly. I personally swear by the Wunder Under Crop all black; I have two pairs in rotation I spice up with colorful bras, Uber neon tank tops, and flashy sneakers. That was until I visited Miss Emily, aka Lululemon Goddess, in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. She was wearing the Journey pants: cropped lulu spandex, all black, with a touch of mesh in the back. Fancy. Also: Sold. #BOOM

gimme white

I got the Lululemon Contempo Jacket in white. Yes, I did. And I have given up on the idea of drinking coffee on days I wear it. Because, you know. #thingsyoudoforfashion

lululemon athletica contempo jacket

I fell for the Contempo jacket the minute I saw it at the lulu store. Love the crisp white, the fitted cut, and the high collar for a classier look. And it reminds me so much of Kerry Washtington in the last episode of the Season 2 of Scandal. Getting out of her apartment building. Confident. White headphones on. In her white workout jacket. Yup.

Also: CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SEASON 3 PREMIERE on October 3rd!!! Yup.

the 'little black dress' of yoga pants

When in doubt, get the Lulu Wunder Under Crop. In black. All black. It's sleek, comfy, and you'll wear it everywhere. Yes, everywhere. With tall boots during the week, with Ugg boots on weekends, and of course, at the gym. My favorite part? The large flat waistband. Super duper flattering.

fff tip: If the fabric gets shiny when you try it on, it's too small. Go one size up.

MOAR sweatshirts

Can't stop. Won't stop. Wherever I go, there is another sweatshirt I *need* to get. Love love love this James Perse Vintage sweatshirt: the cropped style, the 3/4 sleeves and this berry color... Delicious.

Available on shopzoeonline.com and on farfetch.com. DO IT.

current/elliott letterman top

I have to admit I have spent a good amount of time in my lulu lately. Oops. But when I do, I still love to look the part, and this Current/Elliott Letterman print top is helping a great deal achieve that. Really. I love the army green color, and the leopard print; it's like camo and leopard had a baby. Ha! Layer it with the Lululemon Mantra top (pictured here) to add length to it. LOVE. I'm wearing a size 2.

The sweater is available in tons of different prints, too: Indigo With Stars, Heather Grey With Dots, Army Camo, Burlap Faded Brown, Cobalt Heather, you name it. Pick the one you love. <3
