Apparently National Tracksuit Day is a thing. I will neither question or deny this day but in honor of tracksuit day and the Little Mix album "Get Weird" that features a track called A.D.I.D.A.S. (not the company), I figured I would show off my newest start to this blog. My outfit. More particularly the outfit I can't stop wearing.
Look how sporty I am.
ASOS has been my go-to recently, everything from watches to shoes to leggings. Not gonna lie, the jumper was a bit of a punch to my wallet aka $63. But I wear it almost everyday so it has basically paid for itself. I normally wear an 8 or 10 so I bought it in a US 10 so it would be a bit bigger. I have a pretty wide back, shoutout to my athletic self so the arms are bit cropped if I raise my hands. So no waving them in the air like I just don't care.
Mid-photoshoot my jacket took a leap.
Next are these bomb leggings I wear to everywhere and anywhere. ASOS didn't rob me as hard on those for only $35. They are pretty true to size so you are set on buying them online.
My shoes are old Nike FreeRuns that no longer should count as shoes but I'm a sneaker addict and refuse to let any of them go. "My Name Is…. Please Follow Me @…." tee will basically always be a staple in my wardrobe so big ups to Ashish for creating it.
It is time to accept that athletic wear is coming back into fashion and I should not be looked down upon for rocking leggings and a track jacket on the reg.
Check out the Anti-Agency's work with Adidas. Fashion + Sportswear = Too Hip For Words
In case you missed it, J. Bieb's "Sorry" Music Video took Athletic Wear and made it high fashion.
So ladies and gentlemen, grab your sweats, leggings and tracksuit jackets because now is a time to be alive, with athletic wear. Bless.
Until next time lovely faces! XOXO
Also big ups for Colton, my sister, for taking the photos. Follow her on Twitter.
I always told myself that I would NEVER do a monthly favorite but as you can see, I am doing it. So since this blog is all about fashion, music and culture. Those will be my main three topics each month. Let's get started.
Music:
BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1 Extra are where I find most of music, along with people who tweet/follow me to check out their music. To say I don't love Top 40 would be a total lie, but I like to say I like Top 40 songs before they are Top 40s....like a hipster of popular songs except I want people to hear them.
My July songs have been filled with random throwbacks and dance-y music.
These are just a few of my July favorite songs, as
I hear songs I like, I will be sure to share them with you.
Fashion:
Grunge, grunge, grunge. If you aren’t wearing
something with mesh or spikes, I question you. 90’s clothing is back and in
major ways.
Denim!
Denim has always been a closet staple but it is
back and in more ways than one. Dresses, headbands, overalls, skirts, shorts,
tops, jackets, bags, pillow cases, backpacks. You name it and it can be denim.
Platform
shoes!
To say I don’t have at least 4 pairs of platform
shoes in my closet would be a total lie. Platforms=height without the
discomfort of heels. Sneakers, sandals, dress shoes, boots, platform shoes are
back and in every style.
Colored
Hair!
Maybe I am biased because my hair looks like a
unicorn but rainbow hair is taking over. Whether it is bleached or just applied
with hair chalk, it is everywhere! Thanks to the founders of BLEACH London,
bleaching and hair coloring is no longer a backyard beauty job but a
professional and acceptable way to play with your look. If you haven’t checked
out BLEACH yet, be sure to look at their blog and lookbooks.
Bold Tees!
Cropped tees, shirts with sayings and obnoxious
prints are the way to rule this summer. Personally, I love my “IT GIRL” tee.
Comfy but says a statement that must be shared in the rudest way possible.
Slept In
Hair!
Lazy summers= not a hairbrush in sight. As
wonderful as the polished look may seem, it is ok to give your hair a break
from the heat. Let it air dry and leave the hair straightener to the side until
the fall!
My fashion comes from the music I listen to to the
blogs I watch on a daily basis. Here are some other blogs I like to keep an eye
on.
I am the
biggest tech head so to say that I haven’t fallen in love with The DigitalFairy would be a total lie. Technology news in the funkiest of ways.
Nylon Mag,
haven’t heard of it? What a shame. It is only one of the leading magazines to
hit the stand that is changing culture. Be sure to read their brilliant blog.
Beach
culture. I live a block away from the beach so to say that the surfer’s
attitude is in my blood may be more true than saying Prince Harry has red hair.
“Take life day by day and handle each set of waves as they roll in.” Don’t
worry about the waves that are on the horizon but the ones right in front of
you.
Whoa, well this was my first favorite post and I am
super excited about it. I am sure as we go through each month I will get better
with each post but not bad for a first shot. Feel free to comment below some
things you did and did not enjoy about the post!
