Gym-goers eat your heart out. Fabletics has finally come down from the heavens and given us what we rightfully should be wearing in the gym...an activewear line that caters to our feminine side. Who says we can't sweat in style? When I received these athletic leggings and saw the intricate lace on them, I almost cried off my designer mascara (and then I was like "NO, Lena, NO! Crying is for watching Ellen give out $10K jumbo cheques."). First, let's talk about how freakin cute they are. We don't see this everyday, the combo of girly cuteness and rock hard runner. Second, can you believe how great these feel on? I feel like I have 6 personal trainers (hot males, preferably...thanks in advance, baby Jesus!) wrapped around me and holding me together. The fabric is so firm and high quality, it was actually the first thing I noticed. And third, the overall look. I look comfortable, I look fit, and I look fiiiiiiiine (snaps fingers and walks away into the sunset).

I've been wearing this waist training corset by Dresslink to work (9-5) for about a week now. I'm actually able to last until 5pm now but at the beginning of the week I just wanted to take it off and run it through a wood chipper. But then again, I want to do that with my bra soooo.

The waist trainer sucks everything in which is great but what's even better is that it helps with my posture. It keeps me from slouching seeing as I sit in front of a computer most of the day. If I slouch even a little bit, the waist trainer compresses my lungs and I basically can't breathe, just like when I saw Ellen DeGeneres in person the first time. True story!

It's cool cause it's nude. You can't see it under clothing (unless you look for it, wink wink husband) however if you wear a fitted top or dress, you will see the boning at front clasps.

Out of curiosity, I trained in it last night. You think I'm dumb right? Probably. But it actually wasn't bad at all. I was able to breathe just fine and again, it kept my posture in check. I did sweat balls in my mid-section so I'm sure something good must've been happening.

In conclusion, after 1 week of wearing it 9-5 everyday, I am a lot less bloated in the evenings when I take it off. However I doubt that I've lost any inches. I'm curios to see after a month. I think this is just a quick fix and gives you a great silhouette under clothing...like Spanx. In my opinion, I strongly believe that the only way to lose belly fat and trim your waist line, is with hard work and a healthy diet.

 

This is what happened with me and this bamboo (yes, I'm so trendy) t-shirt from ONNO. Have you ever felt a cherub angel baby's bottom? Neither have I, except that one time in Amsterdam in the 90's, but that's beside the point... Anyways, this angel's bottom felt like this awesome bamboo t-shirt and I was sold. No way was I ever NOT gonna wear an angel's butt on myself ever again. 

 

If you've been on the lookout for the perfect basic t-shirt to wear every single day of your life, look no further. ONNO t-shirts will have you running in pumps for more. 

 

I've paired my army green tee with some knee slash skinnies and pumps (hence earlier reference; I ran to my computer to order more). 

 

Why wear a scratchy synthetic fibre tee when you can wear a cherub booty tee? Like. Come on.

"Oh honey, you look so hot in sweatpants."

 

This is a phrase many of us never thought we would ever hear. Like ever. Let alone believe! But daaaaaaayum do I feel fine in these Joshua Perets tight sweats. The key to looking and feeling hawt in sweatpants is all in the way you put your outfit together. I know, I say this often, but shoes are a girls best friend, and if we've learned ANYTHING at all from Sex & the City, it's that I like to pretend I'm Samantha on the weekends shoes are everything and will dictate an outfit. 

So. First line of business, put on said sweats. Second, find some strappy sandals. They will balance out the casual. Third, pop on a dress shirt (again, ups the business casual aspect). And last, accessorize with class (watch and timeless jewelry). 

BOOM. 

I look like I'm meeting with Donald Trump to discuss immigration Barack and Michelle for tea (and no one knows if I'm wearing my fancy panties or my granny panties). Michelle will probably ask.
