Editors’ Picks: The Fashionable Home Workout

October 27, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Believe it or not, a few good things came out of the pandemic (which is still not over—get vaccinated and be safe, gentle readers). Many of us are still working from home and may do so permanently (at least on a part-time basis). Still others are realizing that a daily trip to gym wasn’t as necessary as we thought. Not only can working out at home be effective, but it also robs us of excuses.  No one can say traffic held them up or they were worried about the weather. With on-demand and live streaming, we can work out whenever we want to a previously recorded video or with live instruction and feel part of a community.

As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, and we might—emphasis on the word might—have to go into another lockdown, Fashion Reverie has curated a fun list of everything you’ll need to create a functional and convenient home gym. Time to work off those pandemic pounds while getting fit and strong and remaining ridiculously chic.

AArmy

Looking for a tough, and I mean TOUGH, online workout? AArmy provides a huge assortment of really intense and effective at-home fitness routines. A subscription costs $35 a month, or $350 a year, offering access to a full digital library, including live sessions with AArmy trainers, with 20 new practice sessions uploaded every week.  AArmy celebrity clients include Karlie Kloss and Beyonce. And they offer some amazing gear. Their zipper bras are a huge bestseller for their comfort and functionality.

Forme Athletic Clothes

From leggings designed to align your spine to sports bras created to improve your posture, scientific evidence and rigorous methods are at the core of Forme’s innovative process to create sports gear designed to improve your overall health. Your mother was correct, posture is EVERYTHING. Proper posture not only sends a message that you are confident in yourself, but it can also improve your health. The fact that the clothes are cute and functional as workout wear is yet another bonus.

AbhineKrafts

Everybody needs a good yoga mat. There are so many companies selling yoga mats  but Fashion Reverie recommends AbhineKrafts available on Etsy! Not only are the mats beautiful and functional, they are created using eco-friendly materials harvested using sustainable methods. They also have accessories, blankets, clothes and so much more. Check out the rave reviews talking about fast shipping and easy returns.

Nomadix Towels

At the end of a tough workout, you need a good towel. Too bad Nomadix towels aren’t good towels—because they are AMAZING! They’ll be a great addition to your home workout, but also perfect for adventure and travel. Super absorbent, despite being thinner than an average towel (great for packing), they dry quickly and are ridiculously soft. They are also made from post-consumer plastic bottles (how?) and the company is committed to being eco-friendly and sustainable. If that wasn’t enough—is there any pleasing you, gentle reader? Nomadix towels come in a huge variety of fun and beautiful prints. Prints because the company does not believe in using dyes.

NewMe Fitness Workout Cards

One big problem with at-home workouts is when you find a workout that’s ‘easy’ for you, you stick with it. This leads to the problem of not challenging yourself. Or you get bored doing the same thing over and over and start coming up with excuses to skip workouts. But if you can’t afford live workouts, what can you do? Easily affordable NewMe Fitness Workout cards is a fun way to mix and match new exercises while making sure you never get bored. Designed for beginners, to minimize the possibility of injury, you can create dozens of different workout plans.

Good American

Looking for some affordable, high quality, fashionable, flattering size-inclusive workout clothes? Of course; that’s what everyone is looking for. Good American has a huge line of awesome clothes that go all the way up to size 24. Fun, bright, and comfortable, they can easily be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe. If the name “Good American” sounds familiar, brand ambassador Khloe Kardashian’s commercial for the line was removed rejected from tv for being “too racy.”

Foam Roller

If you’re going to be working out at home, it’s important that you have the right tools to avoid injury and relieve pain. Spiked massagers may seem extreme to the beginner, but you too can do this safe, effective, self-massaging technique in your own home.  The cylinder uses bumps to softly soothe your soft tissue, stretching short muscle fibers, and break up harmful lactic acid build ups. Sport massages and acupuncture sessions are pricey but even high-end foam rollers are less than $30. And who can put a price on a lack of pain?

Pilates Ball

Pilates Ball is another inexpensive piece of equipment no home gym is complete without! Using a stability ball will improve the strength of your abs and lower back. Since a yoga ball is unstable, you have to use your body’s core strength to remain balanced, which in turn improves balance, flexibility and body alignment. And you use it while watching TV, sitting at desk, just about any time. Most come with air pumps for easy inflation.

The Ness Digital Workouts

Are you looking for a challenging low impact workout for beginners? The Ness is exactly what you are looking for. The workouts offer beat-based trampoline cardio and muscle sculpting on a digital platform. The program counts Kelly Ripa, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Eva Longoria as fans. By incorporating a lot of fun and charismatic workout instructors, these routines will quickly become something you WANT to do, not something you make excuses to avoid.

Editors’ Pick: Harbison X Banana Republic

October 20, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Thomas Wolfe’s 1940 posthumously published novel “You Can’t Go Home Again” is about a successful author who returns to his hometown in North Carolina to face angered residents who don’t appreciate how they have been portrayed in his successful novel. Unhappy about his reception in his hometown, the author, George Webber, searches for his identity first in New York City and later in various European cities. Finally, he returns to the America, ultimately finding his true self.

The title of the book “You Can’t Go Home Again” has become a much-used adage reflecting on the fact that we romanticize people, places, and situations. And when we return to things of the past, the reality sometimes pales in comparison to the truth. In other words, you cannot go home again.

Well, that much-used adage does not apply to Charles Harbison. Like the main character in Wolfe’s novel, Harbison is also a North Carolina native; however, his return is to fashion roots in New York City after moving a few years ago to the City of Angels. And unlike George Webber, Harbison return to his fashion roots has been met with great praise and adulation.

Harbison’s re-appearance in the Big Apple is primarily due to his recent limited-edition fashion collaboration with Banana Republic. A retail store he worked at while an architecture student at North Carolina State University.

Harbison’s 18-piece collection for Banana Republic features two-piece utilitarian suits, puff-sleeve tops, belted miniskirts, and day dresses. All created with Harbison’s special style and nuance, combining minimalism with an emphasis on silhouette and great fit.

This collection grew out of Harbison reflection of the female members of family, who he was not able to see because of the pandemic and the pioneering efforts of black women. As a sportswear designer of color, Harbison like so many African American designers in the past and current are often not given their rightful due, especially when they use black culture as the centerpiece and bedrock of their collections.

Harbison established his brand, Harbison Studio, in New York City in 2013. (Fashion Reverie was one of the first publications to review Harbison’s runways shows and he has been a great friend to Fashion Reverie.) In the first iteration of his eponymous brand, Harbison dressed First Lady Michelle Obama, Solange Knowles, and Beyoncé.

Reflecting on his brand, Harbison details, “I was really carving out a brand identity that was reflective of this chic, modernist aesthetic but also rooted in themes that were important to me like racial and gender equity, queer affirmation, discussions around class and the Earth.” Though Charles Harbison believes he was a little ahead of the time by discussing class, race, and diversity through his collections—Fashion Reverie disagrees—there was never any doubt of his great talent.

This time around with his return to the New York fashion scene, first showing his current collection at Harlem Fashion Row during New York Fashion Week, and now with his collaboration with Banana Republic, Charles Harbison believes he is better situated to expand his brand. “Coming back into the fashion conversation, it’s exciting because I feel like we’re primed now to have discussions in a more open way through product,” he says. “It’s really an exciting time to be back.” And Charles New York City is glad to have you back, even if you are living in LA.

Harbison x Banana Republic is not available online and in Banana Republic stores.

Editors’ Pick: Fall 2021 Back to School and Back to the Office Essentials

August 19, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Slowly, but surely, the world seems like we’re getting to some semblance of a new normal. Yes, we are still in a pandemic (we’re up to 13 COVID-19 variants across the globe). But schools and businesses are beginning to retract from learning and working from home, and bringing people back to campuses and offices. That means a lot of us have to ditch the everyday shorts, sweats, and tees we’ve worn for the past year, readjust to having a daily commute, and prepare ourselves for the daily grind of in-person interaction. But as we always preach here at Fashion Reverie, whatever you do and where ever you go, do it with style. So with that in mind, we’ve assembled an assortment of essential items to help you reacclimate to the outside world.

Conscious consumerism is a leading sustainability trend and everyone should be helping preserve planet Earth. Whether it’s by reducing waste or by upcycling already made materials, we all have to do our part. One brand that is leading the charge is Nike. Nike’s “Move to Zero” campaign is their “journey toward zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport.” The brand has released a number of their classic silhouettes reimagined with at least 20 percent recycled content by weight, including recycled cork and recycled poly-canvas, and designed with natural plant dye. Now you can walk across campus or the office while being style conscious and eco-friendly.

As we start heading back to the office and college campuses, we have to adjust getting back into the groove of things. No more two-minute treks from the bedroom to the living room to start our day. Now, we must be alert and face a considerable commute early in the morning. Some of us are coffee people. Some of us need an extra pick me up. The hand-operated (no batteries needed) Nanopresso portable espresso maker will provide you that extra jolt on the go. Simply add one serving of ground coffee or a Nespresso capsule into the container, add hot water, pressurize the container by pumping several times, then enjoy your brown nectar of the gods!

It seems almost everyone is now focusing on their facial skincare. Maybe it’s in response to developing “maskne” during the pandemic, but there is certainly an uptick in new facial products and regimens. But what is new to some has been a long-time practice for others. Sure, you can purchase expensive cremes and serums from companies that have just popped up out of the blue. Or you can turn to brands that are tried and true, like Amway. Yes, that right, Amway.

There’s a reason Amway is a multi-billion-dollar company, annually. They provide quality products that people need and want at an affordable price. Their Artistry Skin Nutrition line is a range of beauty and skincare products that rival the latest celebrity-hyped brands. From cleansers and toners to masks and moisturizers, Amway’s Artistry line provides customers with quality products at cost-conscious prices.

Sometimes, you want your style to be subtle. Other times, you want to noticeably stand out from the crowd. Enter Sprayground, the apparel and accessories brand that’s been giving us the best of both worlds for over a decade.

Sprayground is globally renowned for its flashy and colorful backpacks and duffle bags. But the company also provides more toned-down but equally eye-catching carryalls that work for a more reserved lifestyle. On top of that, they offer an array of shirts, shorts, jackets, accessories. This fun brand isn’t just for the young, but for the young at heart. With an ever-changing assortment of options, you’ll always be able to find a new purchase to add to your collection.

Too often, our schedules get the best of us. We get so bogged down in our work that we often forget to take a break and refuel, and don’t realize anything is wrong until we’re hungry! Honey Stinger has an array of products that combine honey, carbohydrates, proteins, and electrolytes to help you prepare for, perform, and recover from physical activities. Honey Stinger products are a go-to energy source for athletes, and their waffles are also great as a snack to get through the mid-afternoon slump. Keep a few in your desk, briefcase or gym bag, and you’ll always have fuel on hand to battle the day.

Every stylish person wants to know who the great up and coming designers are. Well Daily Paper is the next big thing! Daily Paper is an Amsterdam-based fashion and lifestyle brand, which began as a blog, is fueled by the rich heritage of African culture wrapped in contemporary designs. Daily Paper is one of the fastest growing fashion brands out of Europe. They create two collections a year, focusing on both men and womenswear, in which they offer timeless designs across accessories, ready to wear and a range of capsules across the season.

As vaccination rates increase, mask wearing is starting to decrease. That means more people are face to face once more, barrier free, able to be assaulted by … bad breath. NO ONE likes bad breath—it’s a crime against humanity. Make sure you don’t assault people in close proximity by using TheraBreath oral rinse. Halitosis (bad breath) may be caused by a number of reasons, and these 24-hour mouthwashes are 100% guaranteed to relieve symptoms of bad breath or you get your money back! TheraBreath even created different formulas to promote healthy gums, whiten teeth, attend to dry mouth, and fight cavities. Safe enough for kids, yet strong enough for adults, TheraBreath oral rinses are the no-nonsense fog mouth fighters that everyone needs.

Not everyone is ready to forego their masks just yet. With the onslaught of the COVID-19 Delta variant, even those who are vaccinated don’t want to take any chances. So, if you still plan to wear a mask until we’re given the all clear, you should do it in style, of course. During the Tokyo Olympics, we saw Team USA donning the Nike Venturer performance face mask. Designed for use during athletic activity, it has a built in nose cushion and chin insert to keep it in place, and it is constructed for optimal breathability. Now you can own a small piece of Team USA paraphernalia, show your support for our Olympians and Paralympians, and keep yourself and others safe all at the same time.

The 4th of July is commonly celebrated across America with fireworks, barbecues, picnics, and social gatherings. With vaccination numbers rising, gatherings are increasing.

It’s finally time to ditch the sweatpants and start dressing up again! For those with significant others, this Independence Day can be a romantic day for watching fireworks together, going on a picnic date, or having a bonfire after a day at the beach.  Fashion Reverie has curated our favorite luxurious red, white, and blue trends and products for the fireworks to begin!

Trend: Crochet Dresses over Swimsuits

Trend: Sheer Dresses over Romantic Lingerie

For Love and Lemons is a highlighted brand for this trend, with the brand stating “We make enchanting clothing for the vibrant muse unafraid to take risks, forge their own way and embrace a bit of adventure.” Pieces are romantic and dreamy, putting us into a true fashion reverie!

Trend: Lingerie on Top!

Lingerie is too pretty to hide underneath your clothes, so flip fashion inside out by pairing charming lingerie with every-day fashion items like jeans. Sororite Vintage has become a celebrity favorite brand with their gorgeous reworked vintage pieces. Most notably, a dusty pink corset lingerie set was worn by Billie Eilish on the cover of the June 2021 British Vogue issue. Celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter, Madison Beer, Kylie Jenner, and Duckie Thot have also been spotted pairing their vintage pieces with jeans, dresses, and white sneakers.

Trend: Aqua Satin and Silk

Other than lace, there are no fabrics as romantic as satin and silk. The soft and breathable texture is perfect for a steamy day. Silky pieces can be dressed up or down to move fluidly from day to night for a look that is suited for any 4th of July setting. Worn outside, the sun and fireworks glimmer off the fabric, which will surely cause a spark!

Wear a matching set or pair with a white tee and jeans for a casual but fashionable look!

Editor’s Picks: Shades for the 2021 Summer Season, the Ideal Statement Piece for Your Face

June 22, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Image courtesy of Instagram

Sunglasses are the face’s statement piece. Anna Wintour, the fashion industry’s queen of sunglasses, is a perfect example of how an accessory can come to function as much more than a simple utilitarian accessory. In a 2019 interview with Insider magazine, she brazenly stated that her iconic thick shades are “incredibly useful because you avoid people knowing what you’re thinking about.” Her sunglasses quite literally accessorize the mystique surrounding her elite status and camouflage her emotions under thick plastic layers (would Anna Wintour wear plastic?) Sunglasses act as a statement but also often make a statement about a person in their fashioning as a representation of anonymity, status, emotion, and individuality. It is then no surprise that shades have been the muse for countless songs, most notably in Corey Hart’s “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night,” with the title showcasing the accessories’ use for everything but shielding the sun. Below are Fashion Reverie’s editor picks for shades that are much more than functional!

The Celebrity Status Shades

“You got designer shades just to hide your face and you wear ’em around like you’re cooler than me, and you never say hey or remember my name, and it’s probably cause you think you’re cooler than me” —”Cooler Than Me,” Mike Posner

Celebrities are known to use sunglasses to conceal their identity while out in public. Their status paired with shades gives a look of mystique, prestige, and attempted anonymity. It is then appropriate that celebrities have been tied to particular shades or styles since they are seen wearing them quite often. Here are Fashion Reverie’s celebrity favorites picks!

The “Seeing the World through Rose-Colored Glasses” Shades lyrics

“I put ’em on to keep it positive. Don’t mean to tell you how to feel. But I’m a firm believer in the power of the plastic. Positive plastic in my pink sunglasses” —”Pink Sunglasses,” Miranda Lambert

With the US adjusting back to normalcy, many are enthusiastic about the summer that we seemed to have lost last year. With masks gone and the summer sun moving in, many would like to see the world through rose-colored glasses. Fashion Reverie has curated a list of shades that will help to put this summer in a positive, rosy light!

FENDI $250

Celebrity Favorite Highlight: Lana Del Rey

Music artist Lana Del Rey has been known to wear a variety of heart-shaped sunglasses over the years and even included a lyrical nod to her love for them in her 2012 song “Diet Mountain Dew.” Heart-shaped sunglasses were most popular around 2015 and are now making a resurgence in more avant-garde shapes. Below is Fashion Reverie’s top 2021 Lana Del Rey-esque pick!

Saint Laurent Loulou Heart Sunglasses $420

The “Feeling Brand New” Shades

“I feel like new sunglasses, like a brand new pair of jeans, I feel like taking chances, I feel a lot like seventeen. I feel like windows rolled down, new city, streets, and cabs” —”Brand New,” Ben Rector

Sunglasses often transform a look, and many are wanting to experiment with new (and riskier) shapes and colors this season. These picks are for those who are feeling like they want to switch up their style and try something new and exciting!

Remo Tulliani POWER $165

Don’t be Shady Theo Circle Sunglasses $30.98

Celebrity Favorite Highlight: Kaia Gerber

American model and actress Kaia Gerber is coming for Anna Wintour’s title as sunglass queen. Unlike Wintour, she does not necessarily have a signature look, rather she tries a wide variety of styles, shapes, and colors. Gerber, like many other GenZ-ers, is obsessed with Lexxola glasses, which is a unisex brand that became extremely popular on TikTok. Below is Fashion Reverie’s favorite Lexxola pick!
