There’s no better motivation to get out for a run than the gorgeous weather we’re experiencing here in NYC, a great playlist (currently listening to the David Guetta channel on Pandora), and stylish workout gear!

As a life-long runner, I really appreciate the evolution of activewear towards lifestyle-wear with a focus on comfort, versatility, and functionality.

As a busy mom of 4, it’s not surprising that Heidi Klum is back again with a new collection for New Balance designed to not only make you look good while working out, but also feel great doing it. A collision of sport and fashion, HKNB has moisture-wicking technologies in its performance clothing, while offering lifestyle pieces that can be layered and worn inconspicuously when you’re not working out.

The collection’s palette is a mix of neon, brights, and neutrals that are easily mixed and matched, and each piece has special little details like reflective strips and zip pockets. I really like the range of clothing I reviewed including the hoodie, tank, and capris shown above and a pair of ankle tights not shown. They’re all fitted and flattering with ruching and a mix of color or texture.

Hopefully the HKNB pieces will be as motivating for you as they have been for me!

If you pull the trigger on anything, be sure to show off your New Balance Heidi Klum looks via Twitter or Instagram using the #HKNB hashtag.

Demonstrating responsible leadership, New Balance builds global brands that athletes are proud to wear, associates are proud to create and communities are proud to host. The Heidi Klum for New Balance partnership combines New Balance’s expertise in fit and form with Heidi Klum’s commitment to sophisticated style, to create a versatile collection for women that is both everyday wearable and chic.

It’s week 3 of my Style Scout challenge with T.J. Maxx (you can check out week 1 here and week 2 here) and I’m officially a convert! If you’ve been following along on Instagram, I’ve been making regular trips to the T.J. Maxx store in Chelsea and spotting some ridiculous deals on designer clothes and accessories that I would normally pay full price for. It’s a bummer I can’t list the brand names because it’s really surprising what labels I’ve found and I do love my labels!

This week I hope it’s obvious that the prompt is black and white, a classic but reinvented for spring with a dash of pastel. Everything I am wearing– the earrings, blouse, blazer, jeans, cocktail ring, cuff, and clutch– except for the heels, are from T.J. Maxx. A blazer and jeans is my go-to so I was thrilled to find a classic black & white jacket and of course these pastel jeans (last seen here). Leo snapped these photos of me on our way to Glam Media’s Foodie Top 100 Restaurants Awards. To honor the restaurants and their chefs, Glam commissioned five artists to create original food-inspired art for the reception that took place right in our ‘hood. It was a good time and I felt right on trend!

You can share your own fabulous T.J. Maxx finds via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the designer and price of your score with the hashtag #maxxstyle to be entered to win weekly gift cards in the Maxx Style Contest! Read here for official rules.

Our MaxxStyle Scouts are making the latest trends their own, and sharing tips for ways to express yourself through fashion. You never know what you’ll find at TJ’s – the possibilities to express your personal style are endless.

Spring Trend Alert | Floral {Sponsored}

Floral Jeans Trend

As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers” and this Spring the floral trend is in full bloom! I particularly like printed floral jeans since jeans are the most important staple in my daytime wardrobe. It’s a good season to be a jeans wearer since there are so many on-trend variations to mix things up.

Floral prints make a bold statement all on their own so the easiest way to incorporate the trend into your look is to keep the rest simple. Solid tees, tanks, blazers, and button downs let the floral print stand out. I’d add a heel or a wedge to go from day to night:

It’s week 2 of my Style Scout challenge with T.J. Maxx (you can check out week 1 here) and this week’s prompt of “bold colors and prints” has me dreaming of a resort vacation or lunch in Bal Harbour.

The purple and orange pops of color on this wrap dress immediately caught my eye and I predicted correctly that the silhouette would be flattering on a curvy body. I’m a huge fan of wrap dresses and have featured them on this blog time and time again. I was thrilled to see T.J. Maxx has a large selection and at a steal. I can’t divulge brands or prices but I’ll tell you that this dress cost less than my mascara!

I almost bought the yellow bangle full price 2 weeks ago so when I saw it for half at T.J. Maxx, I had to have it. The cuff and bag are also designer pieces that I purchased 50% off retail.

Do you have an eye for stylish good deals too? Share your T.J. Maxx finds via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with the designer and price of your score with the hashtag #maxxstyle to be entered to win weekly gift cards in the Maxx Style Contest. Read here for official rules.

20 Chic Sandals from Target for Spring

If I’ve learned anything about shopping, it’s that the good stuff goes fast and a deal doesn’t remain a secret for very long! That’s why I’ve spent the past few weeks reporting on my favorite Spring trends, all of which can be scooped up for a steal. Come May, the best of these offerings will be long gone.

I’ve had shoes on the brain lately since I saw Cinderella and Kinky Boots (loved both). It’s funny how a new pair of kicks can add a little spring to your step (literally)!

Whether you have a fabulous vacation planned, or are just preparing for the warmer weather, here are my favorite sandals from Target. All but one pair are under $30!

After a long, cold winter, it feels good to start shopping for spring.  I’m thrilled to be partnering with T.J. Maxx as a Style Scout, to peruse its designer clothes and accessories for less, and showcase 4 spring looks over the next 4 weeks.  You can follow my shopping journey and weigh in on my choices on Instagram.

With Easter in just 10 days, I was thrilled to score this pastel lace dress, and neutral heels and handbag that will last me well beyond spring.  The prices blew my mind.

My Go-To Essential For Spring | Outerwear {Sponsored}

Target's Spring 2013 Blazers, Vests, and Jackets

Working from home and traveling back and forth to and from my son’s school and various media events, my daily uniform is typically comprised of jeans and a sweater, T-shirt or collared shirt, dressed up or down with accessories depending on the occasion.

You can almost always find me wearing a blazer, jacket or vest over my basics when I’m out and about.  Layering is essential for spring in New York since the weather can vary so drastically from day to day.  Outerwear is also a great way to incorporate seasonal trends whether it be neutrals, brights, prints or patterns.

This spring it’s all about boyfriend, pastel and printed jeans, all of which are a great foundation for outerwear. 

Here are some spring perfect blazers, jackets, and vests from Target that I’d gladly mix and match within my existing wardrobe to keep warm and stay on trend!

What’s your essential for spring?

#HowIStroll with Baby Jogger | Video Journal 4

After all the shout outs I’ve given to my neighborhood, West Chelsea, I should be an elected official, or at a minimum get a seat on the High Line to myself a few minutes each day :)

For the final installment of my four-part #HowIStroll video series for Baby Jogger, I’m taking you around the ‘hood and sharing some of our favorite places to eat:

And yes, I said “historical” district.  The cool thing about these videos is that they forced me to “just do it” and not worry about everything being perfect, which is probably a better representation of my life than photos.  Thanks to Baby Jogger for sponsoring this campaign.  We really love our City Mini Double and F.I.T. And a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Twitter parties!

You can check out videos 1 here, 2 here, and 3 here, and continue to follow along on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram with the hashtag #HowIStroll.
