Have you ever asked yourself, what is athleisure? It’s a new word that has been kicked around now for the past several years. Athleisure is a style of dressing which addresses the modern dilemma of needing to look appropriate when running from the gym, to the supermarket, to a meeting at a coffee shop, and then off to your child’s school to start taxiing he or she around for activities.

Athleisure has become a huge part of my personal style over the past ten years. I have three kids, a job, and I am active in the community. Between my work, volunteer work, and family, it’s hard to find time to change my outfit multiple times per day; plus, I like to be comfortable. I’m so thankful for adidas clothing and accessories. They are so comfortable, and always appropriate for my busy lifestyle!

It’s amazing how day-to-day style has evolved in the new millennium. When people wore casual clothing before the new millennium, they still looked fairly dressed up by today’s standards. A casual look on a busy day, such as the ones I live, would have included jeans, high heel boots, a statement top, and a structured jacket. While this sounds like a cute, casual look, it’s not that comfortable, and you can’t wear it to the gym! That type of outfit requires extra time in your day to change for a workout, and the structured jacket leaves little in the way of comfort when you’re extremely busy. I am so thankful athleisure has become more than a trend; it’s a classic style of dressing in the modern world. Love that!

Adidas has the best clothing and accessories for a comfortable and chic athleisure look. I love their collection of leggings, track pants, and active pants. They have a variety of tops to choose from; so, you can look gym-serious, or urban casual-it’s your choice! Of course, adidas also has a variety of jackets and sweatshirts to keep you cozy on chilly days. They are so soft and extremely high quality; so, you can wash and wear them often without worrying about adidas clothing wearing out. For my busy lifestyle, that is a must!

You can find the perfect athleisure look online at adidas.com.

Casual fall faux wrap top and flares

casual fall outfitcasual fall outfit casual fall outfit

wearing: bold blue and gold earrings (super lightweight!) / lipstick / blue animal print sunglasses (under $30) / black faux wrap top / green and silver ring / rose gold nail polish / black leather and rose gold watch / flare jeans (under $90!) / clear and black tote (see my review here) / distressed black western style boots /

As much fun as animal prints, stripes, and asymmetrical lines are for the fall season, there are some days when we just want to blend into the crowd-without wearing a basic v-neck tee and jeans. On those days, this comfortable knit top is my jam!

These jeans are soft, and so is this top, that makes this outfit my comfortable go-to look when I to wear something casual yet put together. I feel like this top has a dressy-casual look even thought the fabric is very casual and comfy. Love that! It would also look really cute with a skirt and high heels.

There is nothing more fabulous than personalized jewelry. It is incredible to have a special piece of jewelry which bears something personal; whether it be initials, a name,  a date, an event, or something near and dear to your heart. When I heard about Messages in Metal based in Montana, I was thrilled! Here is a company that makes personalized jewelry made in the USA. Love!

Messages in Metal creates a wide variety of jewelry which you can personalize for yourself, or as a gift. They have so many different options to choose from! It’s like being a kid in a candy store! I love the name necklaces, the vintage designs, and the family collection.

I chose to have a necklace created with the names of my three kids. Alongside their name, is their birthstone. It’s an incredibly special necklace I know I will cherish for years to come. I’m also a sucker for bold pieces, so the Tranquility necklace was right up my alley. I love how it’s a bold piece which is eye catching, yet also has a special place in my heart since it reflects the names of my children.

One of the fabulous things I love about Messages in Metal is that they are speedy! I received the necklace roughly a week after ordering it. This is because they are made right here in the USA; more specifically, they are made in Montana! You don’t have to worry about waiting weeks for your jewelry from some factory oversees. It is made right here in the states! Love that!

I love the high quality jewelry Messages in Metal creates. Plus, the prices are really good! You will find most of their jewelry is priced under $100. Love!
