New Orleans Yoga Apparel – Your New Fav Workout Gear

Hi, my name is Kelsey and I love to work out! In fact, my body craves it. I have always been a hyper person and exercising is a productive way for me to release my excess energy. This month marks five years as a Bar Method student and my retirement is no where in sight. When I’m not stretching and elongating my muscles at the barre, I’m running down the right wing on the field hockey field. Catch me if you can! My active lifestyle calls for a lot of activewear. As you can probably imagine, I spend lot of time finding stylish and functional workout clothes. I don’t have the energy or the patience to “fight” with my pants to stay in place. There are only a few brands that I will even consider putting on my body and, New Orleans Yoga Apparel is one of them!     NOYA If you’re new to my blog, allow me to explain my connection to Louisiana. I am a proud LSU Alum – Geaux Tigers! But I got more than my education down on the bayou…I got the southern gentleman of my dreams to marry me! Although presently a California girl, […]

Tutu Skirt for the Edgy Chic

I’ve always been the sporty chic – definitely NOT the graceful gal. In fact, I remember my gymnastics coach in the early 90’s convincing my mom to enroll me in ballet classes in an effort to improve “my lines.” Simply put, I was terrible. I was good at suiting up in the garb but that was about it (insert laughing emoji)! Well, since my days on the dance floor are few and far between, I have to get creative when it comes to dressing like a dancer. This is as close as I’ll get to being a ballerina and wearing a tutu!     So how is a sporty chic supposed to dress? I wish there was a straight forward answer. Although I am the epitome of a girly girl, I LOVE an edgy outfit. Last week my friend (and store owner) said to me, “you’re edgy but you wear pearls!” She hit the nail on the head. I love leather and lace but appreciate the feminine things in life too. Today’s look is the perfect hybrid of the two.     With waist lines on the rise, crop tops are becoming wardrobe staples. When I came across this faux […]

FriendshipCollar: Matching Accessories for you and Fido

Your sense of style is evident by the objects in which you adorn yourself. Simply put, it doesn’t stop at your clothing. Instead, it extends to: tattoos, jewelry, phone cases, and maybe even your dog’s leash. Well, it’s no secret that GG is my best accessory. So when it comes to her “gear” I treat it as my own. I would never walk her down the street with any old leash, just as I would never leave the house in a schmatta! She deserves the best of the best.     Introducing the one and only Friendshipcollar, the human-dog version of a friendship bracelet! Available in an array of colors and prints for dogs of all sizes, prepare to be the “best dressed” duo at the park. I chose the “Golden Dog” collar and matching bracelet because GG’s style is an extension of mine. Gold is my favorite neutral – the bracelet will match with everything that I own. Now the question is, who wore it better? Me or my dog?! I won’t be offended if you choose the latter!     Black and gold is a reliable combo because it can go dressy or casual and is suitable for […]

Wish List Wednesday: Fall Essentials

The summer is coming to an end. It’s time to start packing away the brights in exchange for autumn hues. Shopping for fall essentials can be a bit of a challenge during the infamous “transitional” period. Maybe it’s still too hot for a sweater where you live. For your shopping convenience, I have complied a collection of items suitable for fall and they’re all on my wish list. Surprise surprise!   Mixed Prints and Embroidery Embroidered garments remain hot and they’re available for wear from head to toe. How about this darling sweater with floral embroidery?! For only $44, jazz up your all black ensemble with this pretty little thing. Speaking of, never have I ever seen a better looking pair of cropped pants. I am not sure what I love more: the leather or the ruffle (insert heart eyes emoji)! Click the Pink to Shop!   Statement Sleeves and Leather In all seriousness, who doesn’t love a good statement sleeve? It sounds dramatic but sleeves matter! They have the potential to transform an ok top into a knockout. This black bell sleeve top is the perfect example! Picture this stunner underneath a vest or with a hot leather skirt. […]

The Modern Day Go-Go Boot

If there is one item that you should consider adding to your wardrobe this fall, it is the modern day go-go boot. And by that I mean a reliable pair of white booties! Retro styles are making a comeback and footwear is no exception. Get ahead of the trend and begin matching your transitional looks with show stopping white boots.     How to Wear a Go-Go Boot If you follow me on Instagram then you know how I styled my white booties for the Lady Gaga concert. But if you’re the only person in America without an IG account, then maybe you remember seeing them here. Today we feature a lightweight sweater and denim skirt (read more about choosing the right jean skirt here). This ensemble is a great transitional look and hopefully demonstrates how versatile white booties truly are! You already know how to wear them with jeans, jumpsuits, and skirts, but the possibilities are endless. Rest assured, this will not be the last time these white kicks are photographed at “the wall!”     Caring for Your White Boots Before taking your boots out for a test drive, do your research. A white go-go boot is impressionable […]
