Get In Where You Fit In

I've said it before...women's plus active wear is hard to come by...so when Jeana Moriarty, the woman behind The Eleana Collection reached out to me to help spread the word about her active apparel and the upcoming launch of her website I knew I wanted to help!  


A personal trainer, Jeana Moriarty's clients were complaining about the lack of options in fitness apparel for women with curves.  "Our goal was to not only provide these options, but to also provide apparel that could be worn beyond the gym.  Our coordinating jackets were designed to be worn after the workout to run errands, etc.  We have found that many of our clients love these clothes for traveling and shopping as much as they do for working out.  Like the famous, lulu lemon line, our clients want clothes that can be worn for everyday life as well.  Lulu goes up to a size 12, but they went on record to say that "It's too expensive to make larger clothes for women that are not active."  We want to prove that just because you are not a size 2, does Not mean you are not active!  The media, with the help of photo shop has given women unrealistic views of what real women look like.  We hope to build women Up not tear down their self esteem and confidence.  Our logo "love being a woman" came about because we want to encourage woman to love themselves wherever they may be on their wellness journey."  

Jeana goes on to tell me that "Every woman should have her "go to" motivating outfit.  The one she puts on and makes her feel like she can "get it done".  Whatever that "it" is. Not every woman will agree, but as a trainer I have witnessed my clients having a much better attitude about themselves and their abilities when they feel they look cute in their attire.  An over sized T-shirt and sloppy sweats may be fine for some, but my experience is when you look put together, you feel more able to accomplish your goals."  

A few pieces from their current line...




I love every bit of it...how could I not show my support!?!

Never Say Never

I'm on the fence about PU, also known as faux leather...I recently said it wasn't for me...but it looks like I might have to eat my words!  PU has come a really long way...the advances made in both look and feel are AMAZING...though I'm not sure if the breath-ability issue was ever resolved.  I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by this jacket...because I'm OBSESSED!  

Simply Be is starting to become the danger zone to me that ASOS Curve has been for years now...I need a part time job to support my shopping habits!   

Pu Bomber Jacket
Available Here
$99.00

I'm so in love with this jacket...I can't wait to see how many ways I can dress it both up and down.  Be on the lookout for a post featuring this Bomber Jacket on me...maybe I'll even show you all the ways I plan to wear it!  What do you think?  Leave your comments below.

Wild Child

Its animal print and I like it! 

Thinking of upcoming vacations has me dreaming of a new wardrobe!  I could leave tomorrow with great pieces I already own...but lets be real...having new clothing you are excited about makes that special trip or event...whatever it may be...even better!

Torrid has this Animal Print thing going on right now that I just can't resist...

I've yet to try a maxi dress from Torrid...but I have recently fallen in love with their chiffon tops...I've got about 5 of them now...and I'm OBSESSED!  My only reservations with the Ladder Trim Cami...I feel like I might have to wear a strapless bra with it and that limits things a bit for me...but I don't know that I'll be able to resist...JUST TOO CUTE!

What do you think...are you in love too?  Leave your comments below!

Bite Your...

I knew when I saw this tee from ASOS Curve I had to have it...even though I can't replicate this lip bite!  I love pop art...so I'm super happy that its showing up more and more in women's wear.

I'm trying to step away from graphic tees but having a few for those super casual days is totally OK.  I'd rock this look on a weekend out shopping and exploring my city!

Shoes-Jeffrey Campbell






Last shot...rockin' out...no big deal...totally normal.
