Finding the motivation to consistently be active can be a challenge, but I promise it becomes so much easier when you have cute workout clothes. Oversized t-shirts from college and years-old sweatpants will suffice when you’re just getting back into the swing of things, but over time they just don’t cut it. Here’s where things like moisture-wicking and antimicrobial come into play: […]

When fashion is your job, you end up consuming a lot of it. Every day I scroll through runway images, press releases, shopping websites, and social media to gauge which trends are rising and which items are worth buying.
