We've all got one; the triathlon friend, the cyclist, the friend who has a goal to run 100 marathons throughout her life, the soul-cycle obsessed, the yogi, the friend who never goes a day without hitting the gym, or just the one who likes to look like she works out on a regular basis... Gym clothes are in whether you fall under one of these categories or not. Workout wear has changed it's purpose recently; it is no longer just gym wear. I wear my Lululemon Wunder Under leggings day and night, with boots, heels, you name it (and all day everyday in the winter months). Athleta makes a wide variety of cozy, casual yet chic sweaters, and even a cashmere line. Not stuff you'd see me sporting at the gym...

I just discovered the brand Aether, and I'm totally hooked. They not only make great exercise clothes, they have super cool ski clothing and outwear as well as cozy, casual clothing. I'm just loving some of their jackets - especially this high-neck puffer. If you don't feel like splurging on pieces like this, gift cards are a wonderful idea because you can at least help pay for something, plus the receiver gets to pick whatever they'd like!

For the New Yorkers: Soul-Cycle, Equinox, Barry's Bootcamp, and Pure Barre are all perfect gift card options. The Equinox gyms  have an amazing spa (massages, facials, etc), a juice bar, as well as a gift shop full of amazing (but pricey) work out clothing. This would be my number one choice if I had to receive a gift card. Massage? Yes please. Soul-Cycle has a legit cult following here, and it sure ain't cheap ($35 per class + shoe rental costs). Pure Barre is also extremely popular, and a whole different type of workout. They also have a great selection of clothing (lovinggg this top). As for Barry's, I've never actually attempted it yet, but people rave about this program. They claim to be "the best workout in the world", and they sure aren't cheap either, at $34 a class. 

So, get to it! Happy shopping!

Gym to Street

Lululemon Sweater (similar here and here) // Lululemon Wunder Under Legging // Lululemon Wrap Scarf (sold out online - available in most stores) // Matt Bernson Tundra Moto Boots (other colors here) // Auxiliary Hobo Bag

I don't think I could have found a more perfect "gym to street" outfit. Granted, the whole entire outfit is made by Lululemon, and that is what they do best, but still... I easily wear their clothes for every day wear way more than I do to workout. They make the best transitional, cozy pieces. I'm embarrassed to say that I've actually worn this look to work...

This scarf was the best piece I've picked up yet this fall. It is so warm, and you can wear it numerous different ways, as you can see from the photos above. I usually choose to wear it like an infinity scarf, but it's wonderful as a wrap or just draped over your shoulders. Unfortunately, it sold out in like less than a week online, but I'm sure you can still find it in some stores. Lululemon's staple Vinyasa scarf is amazing also.

After a yoga class or light workout, throw this sweater on over a tank or sports bra, wrap the scarf around you, and you're out the door! Shop more Lululemon every day items here, or check out my look and some other favorite wrap scarves below.
