I changed the name of this blog a little over a year ago to combine the little things in life that make me really happy: fitness and preppy clothes.Â
I love that the fitness industry is booming right now, and I love that workout clothes are getting cuter and cuter. But there’s two collections I’m REALLY excited about right now.
1. New Balance x Kate Spade Saturday
My New Balance love started a few years ago when they were a client at my old job, but the love continued even after my work for them stopped. I still swear by their 880s and their Windblocker jacket is magic in this cold.
I’ve also always loved Kate Spade’s whimsical style, so when I heard the two were collaborating, I died of happiness.
I MEAN.Â
Side note: try explaining a fashion collab to your mother. “So are they Kate Spade or New Balance? Are they on sale on Saturday?†Yes, mom something like that. The shoes are New Balance’s 811, a training shoe, but I see these as the perfect knock-around-the-city in cute jeans and a hoodie or workout clothes kinda shoes.Â
This morning I was catching up on Grace’s blog and she linked to an awesome cover-up DIY project. I’m going to Puerto Rico next week, and was thinking a new coverup would be a nice little gift to myself for my birthday. (Better than the terrible, terrible Loubs I bought myself for 30.) Naturally, the first place I looked was on Lilly…
And saw this! My mom got me a sweatshirt similar to this for Christmas, but I’m excited for this really cute activewear.
I interviewed for a job a few years ago doing social for Lilly, and one of the things I proposed was that the brand get into fitness clothes. I’ll take my check now, thank you. (I also think a Lilly/Lulu collaboration would be AMAZING.) As for the coverup, I think I’m ordering this one.
What are your favorite workout clothing lines? What regular-clothing brand would you love to see get into fitness?
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…

I really want something from Lorna Jane but it's not available in Canada, I believe. :(
I love those Kate Spade Saturday shoes! I just wish they weren't sold out of all the popular sizes!
I am laughing because I was just in Saks and spotted a pretty pair of Valentino sneakers and wondered to myself --- are they are neutral, neutral plus or stability shoe? For $995, I like to think they would work for every runner. Ha. I don't think they were combined with a fitness brand but they were cute.... I hadn't seen the Kate Spade New Balance!
HA. I think Chanel has some ridic sneaks too...
I'm absolutely obsessed with how cute fitness clothes have become lately. I've found myself buying much more fitness clothing than normal clothing lately and I think the cuteness has something to do with it! That and how absolutely comfy it is too! :)
Since I can wear fitness clothes to work, I have to really try not to!
Lilly did activewear before this! I have an awesome swirly printed wicking top, probably from about 6-8 years ago. Rumor had the items were made by Nike. I get so many compliments on the top. I wish they would make prints in the luxathletic line-I don't want pay $100+ for a pink jacket that could very well be from target. It needs that Lilly flare!
OOOH, interesting! That was when I was not very active myself so I didn't realize that :)
those new balances are rad.
Ok well, daddy wants to know if the Sale is this Saturday or next????
ha ha ha
Love preppy workout gear! I don't think I even like regular clothing brands anymore. I'm all about athleta right now. Thankfully the instructor discount makes it easier to shop there as I can be pretty cheap with everyday clothes.
I really love some underarmor things. I also like adidas. The pink jacket is PRETTY CUTE!!!
1) Why oh why didn't I pre-order those NB shoes! Now they are sold out unless my HUGE feet suddenly shrink to a size 5.
2) I love the Luxathletic prints!
