Advice on Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, Home Décor & DIY

Top Summer Activewear Items

June 23, 2015 · Fashion, Menswear, Womenswear

Now that summer has officially started, it’s time to list the top summer activewear items. What are the must haves of activewear?? As this category keeps expanding and creeping more and more into mainstream styles, fashionistas everywhere need to pay close attention to it. While the joggers are all the rage, there are other summer activewear items that are topping my list.

Leather Sneakers

Now on to footwear. With many brands providing cool and awesome shoes, I’ve always been a fan of the underdog, the up-and-coming, the rising star: Ushuu creates edgy yet classy sneaker inspired shoes. They offer
a variety of luxury footwear in a multitude of styles, materials and colours.

For their official Kickstarter launch, they’ve decided to to narrow it on “The Black Collection.” These shoes are made from 100% rich calf leather (something that’s becoming harder and harder to find with the increased use of vegan leather), suede, crushed rhinestone, snake style embossed with normal calf hair and patent leather.

Might sound a bit expensive to sweat on…But they are the type of shoes you can wear for your light weight days and then walk out of the gym looking just as stylish as you did inside. The dudes at Ushuu are true believers that style and comfort can be used in the same sentence. One doesn’t have to come at the expense of the other.

Printed Workout Gear

For the girls with flair who want to stand out at the gym with some art inspired pieces, check Yizzam for your next workout.

With the rise of print in workout clothing and accessories, and the upward trend of customization of clothing, Yizzam creates light hearted all over print leggings
inspired by Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, as well as retro comic classics, favourite food prints, and various animal prints. All their products are decorated in the USA and made with enviro-safe water-based dye. Shoppers can customise their own styles for women, men and kids.

Weight Gloves

A favourite of workout buffs Jessica Alba and Kristin Chenoweth, G-loves is all about putting fun in fitness for the season ahead. G-loves workout gloves come in a range of fashionable collections so you can look good lifting those heavy sets.

Crafted from neoprene, they protect delicate hands from calluses, are lightweight and durable. G-loves also designs stylish wrist straps and chic new weight belts to complete the workout outfit.

They’re ideal for lifting, tough mudders, crossfitters, cyclists. Essentially any hardcore activity that requires grip and support. They come in a multitude of hues and prints from metallic, to neon, to animal print, camo, and even some studded with Swarovski crystals.

Men’s Summer Activewear Lines

For the guys, Eddie Bauer has a great looking new line of summer activewear for men, called Motion. From tops to bottoms and swimwear, the Motion line is perfect for training, fitness and yoga. Each item is built with versatile fabrics for maximum performance and comfort while you train for your next adventure. The men’s tidal shorts are one of my faves.

…lost is the leading surfboard manufacturer that also design men’s surfwear, sandals, beach towels and hats.

While it may compete with some of Eddie Bauer’s collection, I believe they each seek a different clientele with the latter engaging a younger audience. With funkier ensembles, these items are great for college or high school guys, and guys a little later in their twenties.

Eco-Friendly Ladies Swimsuits

For chicks active in the water, weather it’s at the pool or at the beach consider Naja’s eco-friendly swimsuits. They offer environmentally and socially conscious bra and swimwear line made with fabric that’s created out of recycled plastic bottles.

They’re always looking for ways to impact the planet less while making you comfortable in your water activities or under your summer activewear.

Canada’s Shining Moment

While we’re on the subject of sports, and given it’s a big year for it in Canada with the upcoming PanAm games, and the Women’s FIFA 2015, it’s worth mentioning that Canada’s design museum, the Design Exchange (DX) is launching next month the highly anticipated second nomadic installment: SMARTER. FASTER. TOUGHER.

On March 16th, it’ll be a year I haven’t set f On March 16th, it’ll be a year I haven’t set foot 🦶 in a gym. The videos you see when you swipe left are some of the last large workout groups I’ve attended with @stadiumworkout before it ceased due to the pandemic last year. I owe it to such groups to have embraced outside workouts during the cold weather, giving me ideas on how I can incorporate cardio and strength with little equipment. Hopefully one ☝🏼 day the group restarts and we can all reunite. For now I dedicate my winter 🥶 workouts to the organizers ☺️.

While Black History Month is synonymous with promi While Black History Month is synonymous with prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, George Washington Carver and Barack Obama, there are countless other African Americans who've made a profound impact in history: self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker, astronaut Mae C. Jemison, open-heart surgeon Daniel Hale Williams, inventor Garret Morgan, media mogul Oprah Winfrey and "Father of Black History" Carter G. Woodson, who lobbied extensively to establish Black History Month as a nationwide celebration, among many others. 

Black history is not just a month to be celebrated but something that we should always commemorate. Everything it encompasses cannot be covered in a tiny Instagram post. It’s so rich, so full and yet so much more we need to learn about it passed the mainstream and popular figures. Take some time and uncover a part of the black past, present and future regularly to appreciate its magnitude and how it shaped the world we live in today.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️. For those who love Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️. For those who love and want to help the Palestinian cause, let’s send Facebook the message by signing the petition at facebookweneedtotalk.org/petition.

The Israeli government is asking Facebook to equate “Zionist” with “Jew” in its hate speech policy, which would make “Zionist” a de facto protected category. This dangerous policy would shield the Israeli government from accountability and harm efforts to dismantle antisemitism.

Facebook, we need to talk. Here are 6 things we need you to know about Zionists. Swipe left to read about it and share.

I was inspired to show off this photo after seeing I was inspired to show off this photo after seeing @sweetzuzudesigns wallpaper DIY. If anyone knows me, they know how much I love Carrara marble (in fact the table in the middle is also Carrara marble that we made, my feed has the video of the project). This wall stops everyone in their tracks as they think it’s real marble but it’s actually high quality wallpaper worth every penny and more from @photowall_sweden. If you’re looking for wallpaper, I strongly recommend them. I’ve purchased previous ones before but none of rest quality like this one. I recommend upgrading and getting the one that’s easy to clean. I plan on doing the other side of the wall to make it look like a full block of marble. You can swipe right to see what the in progress looked like and previous wall and set up design. Over the years my style has embraced simplicity, natural materials and light tones wit a touch of black.
