Target® C9 Fitness Clothes Style Haul

If you are not into spending lots of $$ on fitness clothes, but can still appreciate good design and fit then I would totally check out the C9 collection at Target® .

I was given a budget of $50 and could get anything under the C9 collection. Below is my review on each item. Somehow I managed to get 4 items for just under $50! Seriously amazing.

1. I love my black headband. It was a chilly day in Boston when I wore it,  so it acted as ear warmers too! I was able to take the headband from outside and then back into the gym, no problem. It is a nice statement for your hair without being "too much" for the gym.

2. Layers are my best friend. Whenever I can layer, I will. This Layer Top in Heather Gray was perfect for before and after class. Easy to throw on and goes with anything. It also comes in black and oatmeal heather. 

3. When I ordered this Rib Tank I failed to read that it had a built in bra. I usually avoid shirts with built in bras, but this tank was actually not bad. It was a good balance between a "casual top" and a "workout top". I would have liked it to be a little more fitted.

4. SO I keep going back and forth. Is this a sports bra? OR a bikini top? ....Shoot I think I wore a bikini top to teach class. It is funny because I reassured my whole class that even though it looks like a swim top "trust me it is not". The description on the Target website confused me because it says "C9 by Champion® Women's Halter Swim Sport Bra" and my eyes zoomed onto the words "sport bra".

OOOPS. Well anyway I liked it. I love funky sports bras and over sized tanks. Thats how I rock. So If you want a bikini top its super cute! It could be a bit too "sexy" for class and does not give much support.

Intermix Fashion Show

Last Wednesday some amazing Boston fitness instructors gathered together and got glammed up for an event at Intermix on Newbury Street. We were all super excited to wear something other than spandex and showcase Intermix's newest fall items! 

The Intermix event was to bring awareness to and support Tedy's Team (stroke awareness) and to get the word out there about the new blog Ms Fit For Society.

The two founders of Ms Fit For Society are super sweet. We have Jessica Diaz who is the fitness part of the blog and Alisa Kapinos who is the fashion part of the blog. Through the blog they bring out both of their strengths and merge them together. I do have to say though they are both very fit, and have super fashion. Jessica, Alisa and I pose during the event (below). 

After the event I did a little more reading and found this artcile that I think we can ALL learn from. You DO NOT have to be old to have a stroke. Learn the signs, and do not be scared to speak up. Thank you so much Jessica for sharing your story. I am sure you will help many,

Some photos from the event: Maryanne and I posing in the changing room. Maryanne is a ROCKSTAR instructor at Equinox. We call each other sister- I just love her.

Below are most of the models. I met some AMAZING ladies that I had heard of but never actually met, until this event. Thanks to Intermix for bringing us together.
