Fit Review Friday! Athleta Try Ons! Salutation Capri, Studio Wrap, Tropical Mesh Chaturanga, Jacquard Chaturanga, Athleta Girl Kickin It Joggers

Happy Friday everyone! It's also Chinese New Year weekend for me so I'll be eating up a lot of food tonight and tomorrow. It's a good thing I'm still keeping up with my workouts while in New York. I have to squeeze in my ab workout before my husband arrives from Atlanta. Then tomorrow I doubt I'll have time to get my HIIT workout in, but we'll see. If that's the only workout I miss I'm okay with that. Since Lululemon has been waning lately I went into Athleta to try on a bunch of items that were catching my eye when I browsed their website. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. For Athleta bottoms I am a size XS or PXS if available. Athleta tops I fit into XXS or PXS. High Rise Tropical Mesh Chaturanga 7/8 Tight Size XS Unfortunately Athleta does not offer petite sizing in their stores. However, trying on the XS size at least gives me a good idea if I really want the item or no

Finally a WMTM update!

Wow, I have not done one of these in a long time. Finally some new items hit this afternoon. I do apologize for the late post, I've been really busy with family and friends. Here are my top picks from the sale. Did you buy anything? I ended up ordering the Speed Shorts in midnight tulle . I finally gave in and bought it with my gift card. So far that's my only Lululemon purchase this month besides the High Times Pant in blooming pixie , which is still available much to my surprise! My guess is people prefer the WUC? Love Racerback Blue Denim (this is a pretty blue for spring) On Track Singlet Heathered Astro Blue Cool Racerback Infinite Black Featherlight Tight Heathered Black Sleet Sprinter Jacket Black $169! (I have a review of it here ) Cardio Squad Tank Heathered Plum and also pretty Heathered Desert Teal Make A Move Short in 6 colors

New York Visit

I've been back in New York for a week already. How quickly time flies! So far, I'm still keeping up with my daily workouts. Although today, I'm supposed to do arms, but I'm still super sore from my leg day workout that I did on Monday.  I'm thinking I'll do my arm workout tomorrow and count LISS as today. For those of you who don't know, I'm following the BBG program which I'll post a review in about three more weeks. I'm staying with my parents and I actually have some workout equipment there. I'm borrowing my sister's 8 lb dumb bells and I have an 18 lb kettlebell that I left behind.  This photo was taken after leg day. Lots of core exercises. (BBG stands for Bikini Body Guide, which a lot of people find offensive so the new name is Sweat With Kayla which is much better.  LISS stands for Low Intensity Steady State cardio.) When I'm back in New York, one of the first things I do is visit my hair stylist. I

Popflex Queen's Coat vs Jonathan Simkhai x Carbon38 Mead Jacket

A couple of months ago Popflex released their new Dark Bloom collection. One of the pieces that caught my eye is the Queen's Coat. Pop flex Queen's Coat The price is quite affordable. The coat is $84. The smallest size is a 2 and I don't know if it's petite friendly. Often peplum styles do not work for my short torso. But this jacket looks super cute. It also looks like it's scuba material. I'm unsure if I would find the jacket comfortable to wear. There's also another peplum style hoodie that caught my eye from Carbon38 this week. This one is all gray and a little bit more my style. The Popflex looks a little too frilly for my tastes but it does look really cute. Jonathan Simkhai x Carbon38 Mead Jacket I'm loving the bell sleeves and that it has a hood. But for $355, I'm not sure if it's worth that kind of money.  What do you think of these two peplum jackets? Yay or Nay? My birthday is coming up so I m
