Peony and me: From working to working out

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

Since my summer days can be so jammed packed, literally running from set from filming my new web series, The Ratchet Pack, to helping out behind-the-scenes at photoshoots for Hautelook, while still trying to make the time to stay in shape with my active outdoor and at-the-gym activities, my latest obsession is the edgy, activewear fashion brand Peony, because they keep me looking stylish and cool whether I'm working or working out.

With Peony's signature leggings, I can rock their bold prints ranging from florals, solid black accented with lace and leather, or paisley prints. Looking good while feeling good is the ultimate fitspiration.

To look chic while striking a yoga or pilates pose, I pair my leggings with a solid tank, sports bra, and sneakers, to make the prints really pop. When I want to sport my leggings for an on-the-go look, I opt for solid top in a silk or chiffon fabric with a small heel or wedge.

Peony also have great tops for an added feminine touch to any look. My absolute favorite piece from Peony is their sweatshirt with lace sleeves in white. I throw it over grey denim cut-off shorts and head to Starbucks to get some blogging done. I feel comfortable while rocking my signature style in my athleisure ensemble.

Hi lovelies,

I love being active. I love working out. I love feeling great and I love looking great in my clothes. 

I also love my lattes as a yummy reward afterwards. But what I love even more is my lucy Activewear. 

What I love most about my workout pieces from Lucy is that they are super comfy, super breathable, and super stylish, all at the same time.

I can easily mix-and-match pieces for being casually cool around the house, perfecting my Pilates poses, stretching to the max during yoga, going the distance on my runs, or hitting up a long brunch with the girls. 


Below are some of my favorite pieces from lucy Activewear:

Get fashionably fit with Augusta Sportswear

Hi lovelies,

As you all know I am the quintessential health and fitness nut. I love finding a new trail to hike, checking out the new Pilates class at my gym, snacking on almonds, drinking Suja juices, and going for my running with the sunrise as my backdrop. What I may love even more is finding new workout and activewear gear to sport while staying happy, fit, and healthy. Luckily for me, I have Augusta Sportswear to rock in the New Year while out on my new adventures.

Of course I want to share the skinny on August Sportswear with you all and how you can snag your own gear to rock this year while fulfilling your health and fitness resolutions. Check out my review of Augusta Sportswear's Small Active Kit.

Ladies Jazzy Open Back Tank:
This top feels so soft and I love the shininess and breathability of the fabric as well which is perfect for working out at the gym or grabbing a run or hike outside. The bright lime colors against the black is also great for being spotted while jogging outside after hours.

LDS Action Color Block Capri:
Ever since I moved to Los Angeles to New York City I've been able to embrace the warmer weather and taking advantage of hiking the trails of Runyon Canyon. What I love about the Augusta Sportswear capri pant is that I don't have to yank up the bottoms when the temperature rises during my workout like I have to do with my longer workout pants. The length of the capri pants is perfect for when it's hotter outside and I don't want to wear shorts but long pants are too cumbersome. I also wear a knee brace these days which fits perfectly over the thinness of the capri pants.

Augusta Sportswear Duffle Bag:
The design is a throwback to the classic 80's aerobics theme and is perfect for stashing your protein bars, water bottles, extra clothes, sneakers, magazines, and more.

Be fit and fashionable with Lucy Activewear

Hi lovelies,

In case you missed my recent post on my Fitness Secret Weapons, you can check it out here.

But beyond my fitness secret weapons, one thing I love to do while being happy, healthy, and toned is being fashionable while getting fit.

My fashion secret weapon for looking good while feeling good is the new activewear line from Lucy. 


Check out how I would rock the latest looks from Lucy:

For my early morning runs:
I love to wear the grey Lean and Mean Pullover sweatshirt ($79) with my red vintage silk running shorts. During the early morning when there's still a chill, crisp in the air and the sun is just waking up from behind the clouds, it's the perfect balance of keeping me warm while still being breathable enough to cool me down during the run. 


For the treadmill and the elliptical:
My go to top for the treadmill is the Run Your Heart Out Bra Tank ($59). It offers amazing and comfortable support while training on the treadmill. It's also great because I can skip wearing a separate sports bra because there's a built-in sports bra in the tank for added protection. 

For the elliptical, I love to rock the Cardio Sculpt Tank ($55). When I turn up the tunes and crank up the dial on the elliptical, my cardio tank top keeps up with my pace with its breathability, quick drying qualities, and moisture wicking. 


For the gym, yoga, and pilates:
The Endurance Tights ($89) is the perfect workout pants for hitting the gym, striking a pilates pose, or finding your Zen in yoga class. It's ideal for both high-energy activities as well as allowing for flexibility and ease when stretching and posing.
