Do you live an active lifestyle?
I don’t go to the gym nearly as often as I used to as compared to my life pre-baby. But I’m not a total slouch either (it is tempting sometimes!) I do small things to remain active. For example, I try to use the stairs or at least walk on the escalator in my daily commute and I do pushups and a plank almost every morning to get going in the morning. I’m also motivated by my Fitbit app to walk as much as possible (I walked more than 16k steps/7 miles the day of the fashion show!)
When I do head to the gym though, I like activewear that doesn’t scream “I’m heading to the gym – look at me!” I like more versatile pieces that also work outside the gym – a pretty tank top or an elegant water bottle are definitely my style. I first started thinking about this when I was checking out a few, super chic S’well water bottles at Shopbop – the streamlined designs, steel construction, and vacuum seal closures are a perfect combination of form and function! I noticed that there were a few items that could be part of not just a gym visit, but an active lifestyle. Here are my picks:
1. Beyond Yoga Crossover Mesh Performance Top, Shopbop, $80
2. S’well Dark Hearted 17oz Water Bottle, Shopbop, $35
3. We Are Handsome White Knight Leggings Shopbop, $175
4. Yeti Yoga the Kuminko yoga mat – pink multi, Shopbop, $60
5. Beyond Yoga Cloud Heather Drape Front Cardigan by Beyond Yoga, Shopbop, $110

That yoga mat is super cute 🙂 I suppose I’m quite active and athletic myself, so I love reading posts about things like this 🙂
Definitely love the water bottle and the crossover top! This time last year I was working out like crazy, but right now, even though I go to the gym about 5 days a week, I’m not going as hard as I used to…maybe I need more workout clothes, lol!
5x a week is awesome! I need to go work out more! Haha, yep, maybe cute workout clothing is the key!
I love those yoga mats. My sister bought me a nice yoga mat for my birthday, I love that active and performance apparel come in so many great patterns, tech fabrics, and colours now! 🙂 I’ve been wanting #3 for a while, might have to grab a pair on sale …

I love the leggings…I’m constantly on the hunt for great leggings! And that water bottle…stop!
Love how this look doesn’t scream “gym”! The cardigan and top are so pretty, too 🙂
Ashley, yes I loved how the cardigan and top just looked like pretty tops – not just gym tops!
I love that crossover top and water bottle. I need new active wear desperately. LOL
