Athleta Dress

Dress: Athleta (on sale) // Shoes: New Balance // Sunglasses c/o Endless Eyewer Zac Posen "Tennille" (use code HOTPINKSTYLE to get a free month)

This Athleta dress proved to be a super comfortable option for our 3 hour drive up into the Mountains for Andrew's recent half marathon in Moab. On the way we made the super-healthy (not) choice to try out these spectacular waffles at Waffle Love! If you are ever in the Salt Lake City area, seriously, these are not to be missed. We took our first bite and just kind of looked at each other, like, how is it even possible for something to be so freaking delicious? Yes. THAT good.

Later I found just how powerful the moisture wicking abilities of this sporty dress where when I realized the gooey carmel from the waffle dripped all down my dress. I tried to wash it off but the water just beaded up and rolled off the dress! It needed a solid soak-down to get it clean. But even with that it dried super quick. 

Lesson learned? Waffle eating isn't a sporting event, so don't wear performance gear while eating it, unless you want to come out the other end a sticky mess!

Athleta + Zella: Branching Out in Workout Wear

Shoes // Top (on sale now!) // Leggings

One of my favorite things to do is take workout classes. I make it a priority in my life because I know it keeps me grounded and happy in my otherwise stressful life.

Cute and comfortable workout clothes are also a priority. I used to be a slave to Lululemon, but recently I've been branching out to other brands like Athleta and Zella.

 Athleta is great for affordable and functional tops. I'm partial to these long sleeve tops and these tanks. Zella leggings I can grab from Nordstrom, which is super convenient but my favorite part about these is that they don't fall down! As you can see I'm kind of hip-less so pants tend to sip with lots of jumping. Whenever I know there is a class in my future that involves jumping, I grab these to keep my mind off worrying about my pants during a workout. Who wants that.

NY: Part 2: Mind Over Madness

I know I'm on vacation, but I wasn't the least bit upset when my alarm went off at 6 a.m.! In fact I was awake a bit before the alarm. Much like kids on Christmas morning, my friend Amanda and I were so excited to get downstairs (literally steps from our hotel door) and get our spots for the sunrise yoga class!

It's kind of crazy how when you wake up early, you feel like no one else is up. But then you go outside and turn the corner, you can find something like this happening! Pretty cool!

This is really what the yoga community is all about: coming together to share a love of yoga even if it is among strangers, in crazy places, at early hours.

The summer solstice marked the first day of summer and the longest day of light. To start summer off with a celebration like this was truly amazing!

*Tomorrow's post will feature the rest of the day's shopping bonanza (back to the fashion soon, I promise)!
