Boden Activewear Review

You all remember my fabulous British friends at Boden? [No? Here’s a Boden dress from last summer!] They just launched the most fun line of activewear and sent me some pieces to try out!

Run Faster Sweatshirt | Run Faster Tee | Run Faster Leggings all c/o Boden

Navy Printed Leggings

Believe it or not (I know you won’t), I actually DID go for some semblance of a run in my new set. Sososo comfy, and every pieces has those added features you crave– thumb holes in the sweatshirt, concealed zip back pocket in the leggings for your house key, and TONS of stretch.

I first thought the geo print might be a little loud for my style, but after the number of compliments I received wearing the pieces to dance rehearsals last week, I’m now totally inspired to break out fun activewear more often.

Womens FItted Running Tee Navy

I LOVE that this all goes above and beyond in the matching department– even the tee‘s lining is the same fun geometric print! Now I’m tempted to get the sports bra too…

A note on sizing:: This is the US store, so go with your normal US size– no need to convert from British sizing!

Boden is giving my readers 20% off their purchase PLUS free shipping & returns with code YOGA; hurry though– offer expires this Saturday!

South End Sundays

by 9 Comments

Denim Shift Dress; Yellow Sandals

[my normal way-pale skin color, in case you’re curious from yesterday’s sunless tanning post 😉]

I work in the South End of Boston, so I consider it more of my Monday-Friday neighborhood and try to avoid it at most costs on weekends. But when the SoWa open market pops up every Sunday between May and October, I can’t resist making a few weekend trips there in the summertime. We like to grab brunch at South End Buttery, then meander the quaint little streets over to SoWa, before working up an appetite again so I can indulge in some food truck grub [constant battle between Roxy’s and Bon Me!].

Boden USA Review

Everyday Tunic Dress c/o Boden | Tortoise Sunglasses c/o Warby Parker | Belt, Vintage [similar 1; 2] | Via Limoni Bag, Kate Spade [similar] | Palma Sandals c/o Boden

Boden sent me this denim shift dress + majorly fun yellow sandals, and they ended up being the perfect pair for brunching//strolling//antiquing around the neighborhood. Both are those kinds of pieces that are so comfortable and versatile that I want to buy them in every color– ESPECIALLY the gold version of these sandals!

Kate Spade Via Limoni Wicker Bag

Boden is also quickly becoming one of my go-to brands– its British flair [#favorite] and reasonable prices are going to make for a handful of new additions to my wardrobe come fall, I just know it [eyes on this dress + this coat + this bag]. In the meantime though, be sure to check out their incredible clearance section. They are currently offering 15% off everything + free shipping over $50!
