This week I was generously given the opportunity to try out MPG Sport’s new styles for winter. Can I just say that I am always impressed with the details that MPG puts into their clothes? For purposes of review, the sent me the Gemini Shawl Cardigan in black and it is beautiful. This cardigan is a lightweight fabric with internal warmth on the cuffs, a zebra print on the back and a long, flowing design–perfect for layering over yoga clothes. Also, perfect for going out with jeans. In addition, MPG also sent me their Nadir pant. They are a really nice lightweight yoga pant that would be great for all indoor workout activities.

Below are a few styles from this seasons Fall line which I loved! Thank you, MPG!!

FTC- For purposes of review, MPG sent me two pieces of clothing to try. The opinions above are mine.

Ugg Classic Cardy Grey Boots- roll up or down. Love!

Brand new to the workout apparel  market is Nancy Rose Performance.    I recently had a chance to try out these pants, and they were fantastic.  Loved the stripe down the side, material was not too thick or thin, could be worn to yoga or any heavy workout and can double as a nice pant for around the town.   Nancy Rose Performance is so new that you’ll have look for them at your local retailer or online!

Just for the fun of it, Puma Bikes on Sale at Planet Gear.

Felted Soap on Etsy.

What’s your favorite new item this season?

FTC- Nancy Rose provided me with the pants.  All of the above opinions are my own.

What is that first step that would make you happy? I am happy. I have a loving and supportive husband, two beautiful children, a good job and a healthy, love of CrossFit…and yet, I still can get bogged down with stupid details that do not make me happy. I found this company as I sifted through (and deleted) over a thousand emails today because a full inbox does not make me happy! I’ve enjoyed reading the About page of Happy First and how the message is really meant to be a catalyst to ask you, “what makes you happy?”

Happy First offers a nice clothing line for women, toddlers and infants with an additional jewelry line.

One of the best parts of being a fitness blogger is the opportunity I’ve had in testing out new workout brands.  I eat, sleep and breathe in workout clothes, literally, and have loved being a product tester for women’s workout clothes.  It’s particularly fun when I get to feature new brands that most of us haven’t heard about.  NUX is one of those newer brands, but, has already received great publicity in Fitness Magazine, Real Simple, Health and Shape Magazines.

Apologies for the photo quality, I went to extreme measures to ask bribe my child to take the photo and after six attempts, this was the best of the bunch, but I did want you all to see the outfit.  NUX was kind enough to send me a complete outfit for purposes of review.  Pictured above is the V-FitnessPants and the Sport Hoody.  As you can see, NUX is a very sexy, form fitting brand that offers fabulous colors of workout wear. I love that green Sport Hoody.  My favorite piece of the three items I received was the Focus Bra {not pictured here} which has become my “go-to” bra for work. It’s super comfortable, it breathes well and it doesn’t pinch me anywhere.   These clothes are meant to let you shine on any workout day.

From the website:

NUX delivers a fresh approach to activewear with a collection of engineered seamless designs that combine fashion and performance with comfort and freedom of movement. Each piece is made with a special blend of yarns that have moisture absorbing properties built into the fiber.

GIVEAWAY TIME:

NUX is offering one winner the V-Fitness Pants and Sport Hoody!   Please take a minute and visit their website and come back and tell us what you think!  You can also “like” them on Facebook or follow them  Twitter for the latest updates, sales or new products coming out.

Contest will run through Sunday, October 2nd.  The winner will be drawn at random and announced on Monday, October 3rd.

FTC- A big thank you to NUX for sending me these clothes for purposes of review and the opinion above is my own.

I love alo workout wear! I previously got to try two of their banded cotton tank tops and I’ve worn them out. Also, for our Regional workout wear, we also got to wear alo. They breathe well, they fit well, they don’t stink after multiple washes and the company is very good to the environment. So, when Bodywear Boutique asked me to do a review + giveaway for them, I immediately picked alo. WHOO HOOO!

This time around, I picked two of their tops designed more for working out! I tried the “Crossover Double Tank” and the Mesh Lace Workout Tank. These tops do not disappoint; absolutely beautiful to wear, moisture-wicking and sexy. I found these tops to be fine for whatever the workout required- running, push-ups, burpees, anything, but, my one note on these particular tops was that the shelf bra could offer a little bit more coverage {nipples show through}.

However, all things considered, these are fantastic tops!

$100 GIFTCARD BY BODYWEAR BOUTIQUE!!

Pictured above is the Nico Skirt, on sale for $38-58.  This skirt goes great over your workout pants and is designed to take you from the workout to “playout” in style! The Nico Skirt it could easily function as a cover-up at the beach as well! All the meSheeky skirts utilize a combination of bamboo, cotton and spandex that make for a really soft skirt that fits well.

I originally reviewed the Kiki Skirt in 2009 and have enjoyed wearing it both over my capri pants as well as alone as a skirt.  I also particularly love the Odette Skirt and the Trixie Tank!

meSheeky can be purchased online here or possibly in your local yoga studio.

FTC-A big thank you to meSheeky for designing such stylish yoga apparel and sending me out in style! {The skirt was free and these opinions are my own.}
