I’m obsessed with Crane & Lion.

That is no secret. Every since discovering the brand a little over a year ago I have been hooked. The quality of their clothing along with their muted color palettes and outstanding customer service continue to keep me a loyal customer. Not to toot my own horn but I feel like I’m a pretty reliable source to rely on when it comes to picking out fitness/workout gear. Not because I think I’m some awesome fit chick but rather that I can be found in athleisure 75% of the time. From Lulu to Nike and Alo to Splits59, I have tried nearly every major brand of yoga pants out there but I grab my Crane & Lion tights first time and time again. They stay in place during long runs but are just as comfortable worn while lounging around the house. I’m wearing the Original Tight in Dark Slate in these photos and I love that the color is actually a fair amount lighter in person than on the website–but dark enough to hide everything! 😉 And I’d like to take a second to pause for this amazing Waffle Crew. It’s made of reclaimed fabric and seriously so cozy. I’ve already worn it to work with pencil pants and a plaid shirt underneath because I’m that kind of person. My current C&L wishlist includes these versatile joggers, this textured long sleeve and this sports bra in riviera. *Hint Hint, Kyle!* PS–how cute is Cabo?! Ky is obviously training him to be a hunting dog but he’s also letting me train him to be my new running buddy and I’m SO excited! Beckett will jog with me and sometimes does great but he’s more interested in leisurely strolls than long runs so that’s where this little guy is going to step in!

My favorite Fitness Gift Picks!

No December blog post would be complete without a Gift Guide, am I right?! In the spirit of Workout Wednesday, today’s guide is geared towards Fitness lovers. Actually I can’t really find an item on this list that someone who is anti-fitness wouldn’t like so I guess you could really buy these things for anyone! 🙂 The tab socks, Larabars and Athleta Headband would all make great stocking stuffers, the Tom Tom watch is one that I just ordered and am obsessed with {the fact that it comes with Bluetooth headphones and stores music totally sold me–plus it’s on sale!} and all of the clothing items are great for various workouts. Those leggings & the vest would also be just as perfect for weekend errands, too! Basically I ask for a variation of all of these picks when people ask me what I want for Christmas. I also never feel like you can have too many pairs of workout tanks or running shoes, but I also know am pretty sure that I have a problem. HA!
