OOTD: The Sport Luxe Look
When it comes to sportswear, I go for comfort over trend. I like being comfortable when working out at home (I stopped paying my gym membership years ago. It was too expensive and I didn’t have the time) or going for a walk, so my sporty outfit has to be practical. I won’t work out in flats or heels, same way I won’t pair running shoes with an evening dress. That sounds like common sense but it will amaze you what some people can do.
I recently had the pleasure of picking out some sporty pieces from New Look Sportswear and I was so impressed. This collection is the ultimate sportswear this season. It is a must-have for every sporty chic out there. There is something for every girl; sports leggings, crop tops, sports bra, backpacks, basic shorts, sports trainers, name it, New Look has it.
It took me awhile to decide on what I wanted because there were just so many stylish, sporty pieces to choose from, but I eventually settled for a black sports work it out leggings (I couldn’t resist the cheeky ‘work it out’ statement), a grey sports vest (because it is so functional) and a black mini backpack (it was too cute).
I was ready for anything in this outfit.
I am not sure if you have noticed but the Sport Luxe Look became quite popular in 2014 and it has been around ever since. This look is all about subtlety, chic and style. It combines style and comfort effortlessly. I have fallen in love with this trend. What do you think of this look? Would you rock it to the gym?

Beauty Muse – Katie Holmes
The 36-year-old actress and current global ambassador of Olay; the beautiful Katie Holmes is the Beauty Muse of the week. This woman is all versions of beautiful, her imperfections make her even more beautiful. I have been a fan of her for years, and I have always wanted to know her beauty tips and secrets so I went digging.
When it comes to makeup, Katie Holmes told Hello Fashion –
“When it comes to shades, I traditionally stick with nudes and light pinks, but if the occasion calls for it, I like playing with a bold red lip or a dramatic eyeliner. Generally I stick with nudes, browns and purples on my eyes,” she added, speaking about her preferred daily look. “For every day, I like to stick with what I know works for my skin. I make bolder choices on the red carpets – things like smoky eyes or red lips.”
Neutrals colours do look fab on her and she rocks them more often than bold colours. I love the fact that she looks comfortable in her skin, and she knows what works best for her face.
When it comes to skin care routine, she also to Hello Fashion –
“I regularly exfoliate and hydrate my skin as often as I can, I also drink a lot of water, and exercise to help keep my skin in order. I try to have a facial or rely on the Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Cream Wash, it’s got a lovely creamy formula and it helps to purify and exfoliate to refresh my skin. I also love the Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Age-Defying Moisturizer – it really helps to hydrate and balance my skin and makes it feel soft and smooth.”
A lot of name dropping in her skin routine but these products could be the secret to her radiating skin. I am yet to try any of these products so I can’t comment on how good/bad they are. Has anyone tried any of them? What do you think of her beauty tips/secrets? Let’s talk…..
