Fitness Fashion

With less than a week to go until Laura, Alex & I set off on our world adventure, a bikini bod is number one at the top of my wish list! Because I am obsessed with food, instead of dieting (tried and failed) I have just been going to the gym more than usual.

I'm a true believer in looking your best at all times, even when at the gym! I'm not talking nice hair and makeup, but gym kit is important, and when there is so much great stuff out there, there's no excuse for going in a pair of holey leggings and the t-shirt you slept in last night.

Personally, I am a huge fan of Nike when it comes to sports clothes as you can see...


Can you tell how obsessed with Nike I am?

But bias aside, here is my pick of the best gym gear available at the moment so you can still look fashionable whilst working out...


Top Row L-R:

1. H&M Sports Bra in Pink Marl £9.99 - the picture doesn't show that this sports bra is actually neon pink... amazing!
2. Forever 21 Colorblocked Ankle Pants in Grey/Neon Coral £16.75
3. Adidas by Stella McCartney Women's Run Performance Tank in Black £65 - Although it's quite expensive, no list of the best fashionable gym kit would be complete without something from Stella McCartney's Adidas collection, and I love the mesh panelling on this tank!
4. Sweaty Betty Flaunt It Dance Vest in Black £59 - I just love the lace trim on this top.

Bottom Row L-R:

1. Nike Free Run 3 Hybrid Shield iD Women's Running Shoe £105
2. Nike Free Run 2 iD Women's Running Shoe £95
3. H&M Sports Bra in White/Patterned £9.99 - love the pattern!
4. Sweaty Betty Eco Yoga Mat in Pink Charcoal £39 - the useful handle doubles as a yoga strap and the mat is made from fully-recyclable non-toxic plastic - who doesn't like products that are environmentally friendly these days!
5. American Apparel Diagonal Strap Gym Bag in Camel/Natural £40 - this bag is available in 12 different neutral colour combinations. Camel is my favourite because I love tan accessories!

If the thought of a bikini body combined with all these gorgeous items doesn't provide some inspiration to do some exercise, then I don't know what will!

Keep an eye out for my next blog entry on packing for travelling for the fashion- (and hair and make-up) conscious!
