Hi there!

One thing that I’ve enjoyed getting into a rhythm of but slightly differently in this pandemic is my workout routine. Now I do livestream workouts instead of taking classes, and occasionally I take class outside in a socially distanced safe way through a Toronto yoga group I joined! If you are in the GTA and want to join us feel free to send me a message in my “contact” section and I’ll send you more details. The IG for this group is @thruyoga. Check out some photos below from our inaugural class taken by a member who is also a photographer. In the photos above you can see some of this bohemian activewear I’ve been LOVING.

The first set with a black and floral print is by one of my all-time fave and go-to brands for boho chic: Spell Designs from Australia. This “Oasis set” is amazing and they do biker shorts in this print too! They now have a whole activewear line so check them out. I linked the 7/8 leggings above but this is the link for the “Oasis crop.” Spell has been using sustainable recycled fabrics for their activewear line and this makes me SO happy!

I also have the gorgeous Sugarmat pieces that I added above with photos from their site. This company is from Montreal, Canada but they ship anywhere. I’ve included some photos below from the yoga class I took outside wearing the bold ruby autumn legging! These leggings are high waisted with a cute ruffle detail as well as the gorgeous floral. I would size down a size since they run a tad big. I had to take mine in. I’m a size 4 pant and I got the medium and should have gotten a small. The Rose “pink polka chic sports bra” is absolutely darling. It runs true to size or a tad on the small side (I’m a size 2 dress and small top and the S size is great for me). Both looks have matching top or bottom in a set but I mixed and matched these. Both these pieces are currently ON SALE and I have an ADDITIONAL 15% OFF discount for you. Use my code “SugarCarolinaS” for 15% off sitewide with Sugarmat. I also have the “love affair” yoga mat and “pink pampas yoga mat carrier” (which doubles as a yoga strap) that I added photos of above. I always get compliments on this mat! Again use my referral code SugarCarolinaS for an additional 15% off discount without a purchase minimum.

Lastly, I am late to the party on the bike shorts trend but I’m loving this Free People blue and gold floral “high rise bike short” in the “Indian Summer” print I recently bought that I love. The material really sucks you in and it’s high-waisted: my fave. I paired it with an older Under Armour top above playing tennis with my family in Connecticut. The look of me in my living room taking zoom dance class includes the same shorts and the “Happiness Runs Crop” in the ice blue color also from Free People which is one of the comfiest crop top/sports bras you’ll ever own and has great stretch to it too! My earrings are Jcrew Factory. The pink biker shorts as the very last pic are from the CUTEST workout collab between LoveShack Fancy and Bandier. I love the floral activewear they did. I linked mine here and on LiketoKnow.it you’ll see some alternative options for my Reebok sneakers and Lilly water bottles and fleeces!

That’s it for activewear for now. I’ll be posting to my Instagram more photos in these items in the coming days and feel free to ask me any questions about fit as always.

Xo,

Carolina

New Workout Clothes = Workout Fun

Hi there!

Have you ever had the feeling of being so excited to work out because you just bought new workout wear? I unashamedly feel that way, and my recent purchase was no exception.  Besides my normal obsession with Lululemon, Athleta, Free People movement, and other workout brands, I recently came across Albion Fit.  These floral workout pants called the "Antigua Extend Leggings" are boho chic and springy but you can wear them at any season, and they are the right material to sweat in.  

In this look I paired them with my Athleta black hoodie and a floral seafoam workout bralette I got as a gift.  My new Nikes (a recent outlet purchase!) have grey and seafoam-colored trim as well as shoelaces, so they picked up the greenish blue hue in the flowers and my bra.  This look is great for jumping on the eliptical to warm up my workout, and I can take off the hoodie once I've started to sweat a little.

The look was also perfect for yoga which I did as a cool-down to my workout on this occasion. I love taking yoga for flexibility, relaxation, and to restore my mind and body in between workouts or after workouts.  As you may recall from my past fitness-themed blog entry with my new Athleta and Free People movement gear and my introduction to Class Pass, I love to try out new studios and forms of exercise to keep my workouts fun and stay motivated.

Finally, I had to stop at the water station for some lemon-infused water to re-hydrate, restore, and the lemon is great for your digestion system! Fitness is a lifestyle, and it feels so good so why not look good doing it too, right?

Xo,

Carolina
