Adorning in April #29: LJ Reversible Tights

Ahhhh the Lorna Jane obsession is real..... and continually growing! 
I really had no choice in the matter though when they released this pair of tights - reversible 7/8 tights with one side being navy and the other hot pink?!?! Its like they entered my mind, figured out my perfect pair of workout tights and then boom - here they are! 
Plus I got them on a 20% off day.....then you half that as they are two pairs in one.... so really I paid like $30 for each side.... that makes perfect sense right?! Ahhh the things I will tell myself.
~
Anyway, I wanted to share this workout outfit with you all, as I'm sure if your anything like me these may be a must have for you too! 
~ 
You can wear them in 4 different styles by rolling the waist band down and leg part up giving a contrast panel. I figured these may just be the perfect pair of tights to take travelling; less space to take up as they are two in one, a bright colour for the days you want to stand out or have a plain top on and a basic navy for the days you don't want to scream 'hey look at my tights' or perhaps your wearing a top that does that already so you need tights that are a little more low key. 
~
Anywho enough with my rambling, I am typing like a crazy woman; I've had the busiest day and am a little 
'la la' at the moment! 
~
I hope you've had a great day full of things that made you smile; top three things that made me smile today were:
1: seeing a smart car on the drive into work - they are just so tiny I can't help but giggle every time i see one!
2: Cuddling a baby - is there anything better?
3: A quote my yoga teacher said tonight in class 'push your boundaries - intelligently and with kindness' that really resonated with me so I'm using it as my mantra this week! 
~
See you tomorrow!

I had a bit of fun racing around and playing with the shutter speeds on my camera lol

Adorning in April #15: Fluro Fitness Obsessed

Hi all, welcome back!

Today I wanted to share with you an obsession that I am just not kicking anytime soon -

fluro active wear.

I am literally obsessed, the brighter, bolder, more out there in colour; is direct correspondence to how badly I want it!

Fluro was a trend that was happening last summer in clothing, fashion and fitness alike, whilst I think it may be on the way out fashion wise; it is for sure still alive and well in the workout world

(at least it certainly is for me haha).

I wanted to share with you today my current favourite fluro workout outfit. Fair warning there are a lot of photos! I had fun with this mucking around jumping and running that I ended up getting a mini workout in! tehehe.

The  LJ tights are by far the brightest (even brighter in person) and they were a gift from my bf last week for our anniversary (I know, I've got myself a keeper!). The crop is from Lorna Jane also and the tee is Forever21. Paired with bright socks from Russell and my much loved Asics Runners this outfit is motivation in itself! Having bright fun workout wear honestly is half the motivation I need to get up and go each day. I hope you enjoy the post, what is your favourite items to workout in?

I hope you enjoyed this workout OOTD, I find the most effective way to get a great workout in is to be comfortable, happy and motivated in what your wearing! If you know that what you've got on isn't going to budge, is holding everything in place and performs it's functions as it says (i.e., climate-light) then adding in brightness brings the fun into a workout!
~
My number one workout tip: don't forget to have fun with it! Working out doesn't have to be a pain or a drag, if you bring a positive frame of mind to it and play like you did as a kid you'll find the time passes so quickly!

What I Wore: Running

Hello there! Happy New Year to you! I am finally back feeling like myself - aka not a sick mess spending all day moaning in bed. 
So to welcome in the new year I have a fitness related post for you. I'm sure many, just like me when thinking about the things they want to change, improve, start and try for a new year always have some sort of 'fitness regime' added to the list. 
I am actually grateful that this was my resolution at the start of 2013 and I am still going strong! 2013 was the year I gave myself some kindness and allowed time to make a change, not a week like I have been known to do in the past! 
This spurred on a year long health kick which has totally changed my life / lifestyle. I am happy to say I now love working out and the endorphin's it brings, eating healthy is now second nature to me and my body is so use to fresh fruit and veg that I don't often crave anything else! 
So of course, giving myself a year to become a healthy human has meant I've rewarded every effort to myself in the form of workout clothes - I mean is there really any better motivation? 
This year I will be sharing my fitness and health side of life a bit more, I'm starting to feel like it all makes sense to me so I want to share that knowledge with you all too! 
So for today I've got an outfit of the day post for a workout outfit that is perfect for running (and actually what I wore that morning on my run so excuse the sweaty face!)

Any loose tank top is perfect to run in. Just something that is comfortable to you, doesn't get in the way and doesn't rub are the criteria here. I often enjoy a cheeky slogan tank - I dont know why but they please me immensely. 

Side note: I was wearing my bright pink kiss my abs tank the other day out running and I was smiling at everyone I passed like I always do but no one was smiling back! Mustn't been too impressed with my bleary tank! 

I am a runner who requires music, I find it exponentially harder without it! I use this LJ one and its perfect, has a spot to put the headphones through and doesnt budge the entire time. I also stick my phone in there too so I can snap photos and track my pace and time. 

I will often workout in a hat, especially if it is sunny, its a great way to get all of those pesky little hairs out of the way. A trick I like to do when I have nice straight clean hair and dont wish to wash it on a daily basis is to place my hair through the gap at the back of the hat but not use a hair tie. That way I have it up and out of the way, but I dont end up with a huge kink running through it from a hair tie! 

These LJ shorts are so FLURO! I love them, I am a big lover of bright workout clothes - may as well make it as fun as possible right!? I had to saturate this photo so much to have the Lorna Jane writing visible. 

Hehehe, I had a cat friend for a few weeks which was lovely!

What I Wore: Saturday - Workout Edition

Hi everyone,

Here is another outfit of the day, I decided for this post I would focus on something I am wearing ..... I'd say 50% of the time. Workout gear. 

~

I am an avid exercise goer, if I could wear gym gear to work I'd be one happy girl (goes off and google searches jobs at Lorna Jane). 

~

Most weekends I will pick a day to focus on working out and I will stay in my workout gear for the whole day. This is also the day I do those boring errands such as food shopping. I then give myself the other day to get dressed up a bit more, go for coffee dates and shopping for fun stuff like more workout clothes. The cycle is just endless! 

~

Enough of my ranting on how much I wear gym clothing, onto the actual photos of gym clothing baha.   

So I didn't intend this outfit to become an advert for Nike ~ It just happened I swear. After I took these pics I realised I was representing Nike pretty bad! 

My Shoes are are gift from the BF and they suit those days where your not doing too much cardio as they are not designed to be running shoes ~ better suited to weights or toning days. The tights are super comfy and hold everything in just swell! As it is winter in Australia at the moment, the long sleeve Lorna Jane top is a must, it is breathable but keeps you warm. The jacket is a waterproof one which is great when your out and the light drizzle kicks in. And of course a hat, it may be freezing but the sun still shines! (thank goodness!)
