Fashionably Fit

From shorts clockwise: Run Performance Shorts | Run Performance Tank | Seamless Bra | Chunky Beanie | Downs Vest | Pop Pilates DVD | Nike Hoody | Nike+ Fuelband

At present, my 'exercise clothing' drawer is somewhat lacklustre in terms of its overall vibrancy and trendiness. Indeed, it's thoroughly dependant on the functional aspect of fitness clothing than the fashionable, which perhaps is one of many downfalls in my exercise scheme.

By that, all I really mean is that I want new sport clothes. No beating about the bush! Fitness and fashion should naturally be interlinked - if us women have gorgeous sportswear to sweat our guts out in, of course it's going to make us want to wear it more often (and thus work out more)! Call us superficial, but clothing offers us that extra incentive to move our lazy-selves more.

Which leads me on to describe my night of passion - just involving myself and internet shopping, obviously. After traipsing online for the hunt of my fashionably-fit picks, I found a few lustful items that I thought I'd share.

My winter workout-wear is almost non-existent; in fact, it consists of one 5-year-old Adventureworks fleece and one full-length and ill-fitting pair of running leggings. Which is why the Adidas downs waistcoat is just screaming for my attention (along with that oh-so slouchy looking Nike hoodie, plus the Adidas beanie. Mine, please!?).

I'm also a big fan of the Stella McCartney range created for Adidas, and this structured performance vest would sit very nicely amongst my old drawer full'o tat, yes it would. The zesty orange shorts are also in the range, and contrasts against an otherwise sombre colour palette. After all, every exercise outfit should incorporate a splash of vivid colour for added vivacity!

The non-clothing item of choice goes to Cassey's new exercise DVD, which I of course cannot wait to get my frozen mitts on, plus the ubiquitous Nike+ Fuelband! Has anyone else bought a Nike+ band yet? What are your thoughts on it? Hope you're enjoying your Sunday, whether it be full of rest and food (like mine has doubtlessly been so far), or otherwise. :) ♥
