Steal my style : two ways with my favorite new pieces from lululemon #partner
The hardest working piece in your wardrobe?
A black skirt !
(This is from lululemon )(yes, can you believe it? They don’t just do activewear).
Why invest in a black wrap skirt ?
Because it’s black (!)
Always right. Always flattering. Always chic.
Because it’s versatile.
Because it’s trans seasonal.
It can go from summer to winter.
From work to weekend.
From day to evening.
I’m wearing it right now in summer for every day with a black ( or white !) shoulder pad tee – tucked in – and strappy mules.
For winter ? I’ll wear it with knee high boots , a slouchy knit & crop jacket ( FYI the skirt is water resistant and wind proof!)
It’s the best skirt : When I saw it I knew I would get alot of wear out of it.
That’s because it’s a wrap !
That shape is so chic right now & the perfect A- line cut ( which means you can wear it with heels AND flats) .
And it has pockets!(Yes, how much do we love pockets ?)
The zips on the pockets are in a subtle black with a nifty hidden credit card sleeve too ( so you don’t need to carry a bag necessarily) .
What’s clever is the sneaky inside zip on the skirt: It holds the wrap securely in place so when you’re walking you don’t suddenly flash too much leg ( and scare the children!)(the fabric is heavyweight & quite structured anyway so it doesn’t flap around much anyway ).
In terms of sizing I went with a size 12 usa so it sits lower, looser and therefore longer.This is good.
Styling tip:
All black always looks best in summer (as opposed to winter ) as your bare arms & legs freshen it up. It’s the dramatic shapes that make the fashion statement ( not the colour !)

Time to get fit for summer !
Why is it when you get the right gear and feel good you somehow feel more motivated to get out there & be sporty ?
I know it helps me to get going if I look the part !
Expert marathon runner I am not .
Regular morning exerciser and swimmer I definitely am.
So I’m loving my new white snap front jacket and black leggings , see below from lululemon
I chose this fabulous white jacket because… it’s white ! (Don’t worry: machine washable).
A white Jacket is always chic.
I also love the high stand up neck ( collarless!) and the way it sits loose with room to move – I went with my usual size as it’s already slouchy .
The jacket is in a naturally breathable woven air fabric. (It actually has little tiny pinprick holes in it). Throw it over a white tank on warmer humid days – you’ll get good protection from the sun (and the elements!) but you won’t be wilting of heat exhaustion.
As with all my favourite lululemon pieces see my picks below ) the attention to design and detail is what stands out : The jacket has nifty white zip pockets with a hidden sleeve to keep your phone safe and cool snap front closures down the front so it’s easy to do up.
My black leggings? FiFi approved!
Love the side pockets that fit my phone and the clever little waistband pockets for keys, lipgloss & headphones.
And if you need a white tank for exercising ( hint : you do!) this one in a cotton lyocell/ linen has a relaxed cut that seems to float away from the body (Yes, please).
Get shopping ! Get moving !
