Five On Friday | Workout Leggings

I fully recognize the correlation between getting dressed each day and the amount of productivity that results. There's no denying that putting on a pulled together look helps me get shit done! But let's be real....some days it just doesn't happen and it's athleisure wear to the rescue. Whether I've opted to get in a workout instead of shower, or am just too lazy to put together an outfit, these leggings come in clutch every time.

Here's six of my favorites that are in heavy rotation in my closet - and all the reasons I love them!

1//Zella Moto High-Waist Leggings ($34.50)  I always grab a pair of Zella leggings during the Nordstrom sale because
they are amazing quality, but kind of pricey! love the high waistband and wicking material on these tights,
and the flattering seaming is a great touch too.

 

2//All in Motion Contour Curvy Tight ($22.50) These Target finds are a great price point for the quality, which is
a thicker material definitely suited for staying put during intense workouts. The waist is really high, which I love because I have
a long torso, but they might not work if you're shorter-waisted.

 

3// Aerie Offline Real Me Legging ($34.96)  I love these leggings for super soft fabric and the cute twist detail
at the waist (which is super slimming!) They aren't really thick or compressive enough to wear for high impact exercise, but they are
beyond comfy and a great pick for running errands around town in comfort!

 

4//Lululemon Align Leggings ($98.00)  There's a reason these leggings are on every must-have list...they really
are sooooo good! The patented Nulu material is unrivaled in softness and stretch, and no one makes a more flattering
seam pattern. Totally lives up to hype and worth the splurge!

 

5//CRZ Yoga Naked Feel Leggings ($24.00) Hailed as a great Lululemon dupe, these tights are truly like a second skin
and stay put during the most rigorous of exercise, not to mention the price point means you can buy almost four pairs for the price
of one Lulu pair! I love the wicking fabric (and it totally resists dog hair and lint, which is a huge plus in this household!)

 

6//Old Navy Elevate Powersoft Leggings ($24.97)  Old Navy has steeped up their activewear game and I'm here for it!
These fun patterned tights have good compression and fit and the side pocket is so handy for stashing your phone. With more
than 6000 five-star reviews, these tights are a definite staple in any active closet!

 

All of these tights have secured a deserved spot in my closet but I'm always on the hunt for new additions! What's your favorite athletic tight (and, most importantly, do you love them enough to wear them even when you're not working out??)

Five on Friday | Golden Goose Dupes

The season of sneakers is upon us, so I thought I'd round up some good options for the sporty star sneaker that's incredibly popular right now. While the iconic Golden Goose are definitely high quality and oh-so-comfortable, there are great alternatives that look just as street chic for a price that won't break the bank. Here are some of my favorites!

 

1// Steve Madden Claris Court Sneaker ($39.99)  A neutral reptile pattern and subtle metallic heel give these kicks a sophisticated flair without being too stuffy. Perfect for a pop of pattern that still goes with everything!

 

2// Rose Gold Star Sneaker ($46.50)  If pink is your signature color, this pari of soft metallic rose gold sneakers is a must-have! A great color for spring and summer that works with shorts, joggers, skirts & sundresses!

 

3//Steve Madden Rezume ($80.99)  A gold toe and black heel make these super versatile with any outfit, but they also come in several other colorways like gold snakeskin, red bandana print, tan suede and an all-black option!

 

4// Vintage Havana Bianca Sneaker ($49.97)  I'm a sucker for anything leopard, and while this style comes in a multitude of other color options, I love this small touch of animal print the best!

 

5//Madden Girl Blieve Sneaker ($49.00)  With ivory suede accents and a perforated leather side panel, this pair will quite literally go with anything! A slight platform sole adds a little bit of height and makes these sneaks as flattering as they are comfy!

 

So which pair is your favorite? Or do you have a different pair on your wishlist!  Do tell!

Five On Friday | I Heart Graphic Tees

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and there's no better excuse to treat yourself to a cute graphic tee that spreads the message of love! These closet staples can top joggers or jeans and look adorable peeking out from under a blazer of jean jacket. No matter how you style them, I'm betting you'll fall in love with these lovely tees!

 

1// Show More Love Tee ($8.00) The selection of graphic tees at Target never disappoints and this simple heart graphic tee (that looks great with plaid, leopard or denim!) send a sweet message while looking undeniably cool!

 

2//  Love & Florals Tee ($34.00)  I love the feminine feel of this tee and it's perfect for pairing with a floral skirt or boho kimono (both of which you could find at this amazing boutique, Flower Wild so be sure to check it out!)

 

3//  Wednesday's Girl Heart Balloon Tee ($19.00)  A simple relaxed tee with a vibrant red heart that would be adorable under your favorite cardigan or with a denims kirt and sneakers!

 

4// Be Kind Heart Tee ($12.99)  Repeating hearts in neutral colors that pari perfectly with your favorite leopard joggers or faded black denim! The shirt also comes in black in charcoal gray and is perfect for layering year-round!

 

5//Heart Print Tee ($9.00) For a more traditional Valentine's look, this sugary tee is a great match with red denim (or a flowy broomstick skirt!) and it also comes in other color options of lavender, gray and pale blue!

 

Since a night on the town is probably not in the cards for Valentine's this year, treat yourself to a new tee (and be sure to share how you style it!)
