SPORTS LUXE | SWEATY BETTY


Do something today that your future self will thank you for…











I first came across Sweaty Betty active-wear when living in London, and immediately fell in love. Not only is the design bang on trend and fashion forward, but the quality is absolutely second to none.

Followers of my Fit. Eat. Repeat. website (www.fiteatrepeat.com / @fiteatrepeat), will already know that I'm a huge supporter of empowerment through fitness, particularly for women, and Sweaty Betty is one brand that not only preaches this mission but also embodies this ethos right through to it's design.

So when I found out that Sweaty Betty are offering free shipping to Australia, until December 16th, I had my excuse to shop up big (not that I really needed one)!

Here are my favourite pieces from the latest collection.

LOOK 1
Sweat It Out Bra

LOOK 3

Head on over to www.sweatybetty.com to take advantage of free shipping to Australia, and pick up some amazing sweat style in time for Christmas.

THE SWIMWEAR EDIT


As the weather starts to heat up here in Australia, it's time to start thinking about summer swim trends...










When it comes to swimwear, I'm really quite discerning. I'm on the hunt for designs that not only look good, but styles you can be active in, without being uncomfortable. And in terms of swimwear trends, this season I'm all for 'sports luxe'.

The scuba essentials collection by one of my Aussie favourites, Baku, is spot on. The soft neoprene fabrication is perfectly lined, and provides great support. 

I've hand-picked three swim styles, which fit this brief to a tee (style and comfort) and will complete your swim wardrobe this season. 

LOOK 1 
Baku Scuba Essentials High Neck Bra & Baku Scuba Essentials Boyleg Swim Pant

LOOK 2
Baku Aztec Bikini Triangle Bra & Baku Aztec Rio Bikini Pant

LOOK 3
Baku Scuba Essentials High Neck Cutaway One Piece

I love fashion statements and doubling up a print is a really simple way to create a bold look.
I couldn't go past this Country Road tropical twin set - sweater & shorts.

2. Sports Luxe /
Where the gym meets the streets, wearing Nike crop, Seed pleated skirt & Urge sandals

 3. Monochrome / 
Always a favourite of mine - black and white is such a classic look, but this frill crop top, from Seed, and Target high-waisted trousers add a splash of modern.

MONOCHROME

Monochrome Street Style on Friend in Fashion

My first couple of weeks moving back home have been chaotic, between meetings and house inspections, which has meant keeping my style as quick and easy as possible. With this in mind, monochrome is failsafe.  

This sports-luxe dress is the perfect to throw on, when I'm on the go, and Vintage Princess have come through with the goods with this beautiful leather carry-all.

Completely embracing the sports luxe trend here.

This Bec & Bridge dress - an exclusive from their MBFWA capsule range, is truly incredible and works a treat with this vintage leather cap, which I've had forever.

Minimalistic, tailored shapes and mixing up fabrics is what I'm all about at the moment.

I'm definitely a high heels kind of gal, so you could consider me a late-comer to the fashion sneaker party, Isabel Marant kicked off.

As soon as I set my eyes on this incredible Shona Joy dress, It called me to experiment with my twist on the gorgeous sports luxe editorials I've seen in every magazine and on every blog of late.

These high top wedge sneakers add the perfect touch of street cred to complete my sporty look, whilst fulfilling my need for a shoe with some height.

My first pair of fashion sneakers, but certainly not my last.

I've been converted.
