Fitness in fashion

So here's something I really have yet to see anyone bring up, Fashionable fitness wear?!?!? Lets face it part of the motivation to work out (other than looking good naked) is rocking some kickass gear. I don't know about you but nothing motivates me more than putting on some bright neon shoes, fitted crops and a tank and rocking out at the gym. The selection of gear has gotten better over the years admittedly but I think still has a bit to go. I don't know about you but I'm not in Lulumons demographic (mama got bills and likes to eat) but there are some places that make cute stuff. I mean honestly what average person has $80 for reversible workout pants?  I've found some great stuff at the Gap, Old Navy, Target, and Ladies Foot Locker. Plus I like finding that one day my workout clothes don't fit and going to buy some fresh new threads. I mean seriously, LFL has a neon tank for $19.99!!!!!!!!!!

 I gave some links to some of these spots. What's your take?

Need some cheap swag?

Looking for some trendy items to work into your wardrobe? Then check out Target. Not only do they do fashion collabs but even their in house items are pretty fab. Of course neon is one of the biggest trends and they have that covered with scarves, belts and even work out wear. Plus the accessories are fun and reasonably priced. They had a cute faux leather mossimo bag and look at the belt selection! So the next time your looking for a quick fix check out Target.

Intermezzo

So today I lost my bet, and took myself out for a nice Italian dinner in Chelsea.  I stopped in a spot called Intermezzo and it was worth it.  As with most NYC spots small space but done in clean classic lines and colors.  Food was fresh and done well, plus they were what serving sizes should be, just enough to fill you up.  I ordered the caprese ensalda (mozzarella, tomatoes, EVOO, and balsamic vinegar), penne a la vodka, and of course creme brulee.  The noodles were a la dente and the salad fresh.  As far as the creme brulee, you could tell they had just pulled it from the fridge and caramelized the sugar mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Overall 4 out 5 forks.

A quick note

I haven't done this in awhile so thanks to everyone that's following me or ever made a comment. I appreciate it. Also sorry about the lack of posts but I haven't been feeling on top of my game and well I made a bet for no shopping this month. I mean who writes fashion blog then makes bet not to shop smh lol. I have learned that yes I do buy a lot of random crap and should focus more on key pieces. So I've been making my list and checking it twice lol. If you want more of me check me out on lyst.com (fashionfeedNYC) poshmark (bkblueagave) or even instagram and enjoy some random photos :)
Thanks again!

Adding Accessories

So I know that I mention how accessories are a great way to incorporate trends and style into your wardrobe without doing a complete overhaul. Here are some fun and interesting pieces that will make your outfit pop regardless of if it’s a board meeting or dinner with the ladies. Another thing that I have noticed is that razor blades and ear cuffs are making a comeback. Now I didn’t like them 15 years ago and I still find the idea strange, but if that is your thing then hey have fun with it! Remember style is an extension of you and it’s the way to tell people what you are about with a glance, then what not start a conversation? While some of these pieces are on the pricier side (my wallet cries) you can usually find knockoffs at almost any retailer and H&M, Forever 21 and Zara are great starting points. If you live in NYC check out what I have dubbed as accessory row which is Broadway between 33rd and roughly 25th. You can check out my complete lyst at lyst.com/fashionfeednyc

Luu Vietnamese

So last night after work I was on the hunt for dumplings, and after using my awesome Ness app found a place. Well long and short the place wasn't open but I passed this small spot along the way. It's located on E 26th and Lexington ave. walking in I was on a sensory trip back to Taiwan, it had that same smell. I ordered the chicken bun and vegetable spring rolls. Overall it was good and the freshness of the food was great. However my only issue was the chicken which wasn't really to my liking, but hey that's part of the fun. Portion sizes were decent and I was full half way through. It's a small space with limited seating but seems to be a fave spot with the students at Baruch. Overall 3 put of 5 forks.
