[FAVORITE FIND] Wick-It Wader from Athleta

Last year, after much hand-wringing and deliberation, I purchased this Wick-It Wader top from Athleta. My hesitation came from the price tag - $69 for something to sweat in?! how is that okay? After months (seriously, MONTHS) of wanting it, I closed my eyes and clicked "submit" on the order sitting in front of me. And I have not regretted it since.



I've worn this top at CrossFit, during the Nike Half Marathon in DC, and workouts in-between. To say it's my favorite is an understatement - I look forward to wearing this top and think I work out harder, better, faster, and generally more excitedly because of it.

I HIGHLY recommend this workout top! As a Muslim woman, I feel more confident when I workout because the top is long - extending well past my waist and over my bottom. While I will wear tee shirts while working out, for my, having my arms covered (yes, even on hot days) still feels better than wearing something I'm worried if crosses over into the "less than modest" category.

Even if you're not worried as much about modest workout clothes, get this top! It's great for cooler workouts - early morning falls, in the winter - because it's quick drying (superior sweat wicking capabilities), lightweight, and comes in fun colors. Plus, what woman doesn't want a little extra ass...et coverage when she's working out?

An Anthro Sale and All I Want Is This Top

Anthropologie is having a 20% extra on sale items, which is kind of a big deal because their sale prices aren't always "sale-y" enough.

I only have my eyes on one top (it would have been two but the second sold out while I was in a meeting at work!). This is it. What do you think? Is it a must have item?

FAVORITE FIND: Michael Stars Ikat Crochet Back Hi Low Dress

I'm moving all the things I haven't worn in the past two months to the front of my closet. My closet is usually a disaster space as it is, so it needed a good cleanout anyway. One of the items I'm looking forward to unearthing is this Michael Stars Ikat Print embroidered back dress. I wear it with a white long-sleeve top, white skinny jeans, and silver sandals for easy summer style.

[Under $50] 20-hour 25% off sale at Piperlime!

I got an email earlier tonight about a 20-hour 25% off sale at Piperlime! Considering that I was wavering between ordering a Gap denim jacket (I didn't want to pay for shipping!), getting this email from Piperlime was a knick-of-time marketing ploy, as there is a great pleated skirt I think the jacket would work with. Ramadan is coming - time to bust out those iftar and taraweeh outfits!

I'll be posting continual updates over the next hour or two - check out my favorite finds!

Love this Elan Metallic Pullover! It would be great for a holiday party (Ramadan does require festive wear!)

It was these skirts that spurred my visit to Piperlime's site.

Slouchy pants are effortlessly cool and casually chic. The nice thing about them is because they're not form fitting, you can wear them with a shorter top (as opposed to tunic length) that's equally drapey.

If you look through the blog, you'll see the many posts I did on this Hive and Honey maxi dress's predecessor, the Hive and Honey maxi chevron skirt. I LOVE that skirt (seen here when in Morocco!) and am sure that anyone would love this maxi dress. Throw on a chambray button down over it, tie it at the waist, and you're instantly bohemian chic.

Love this slouchy striped top. Reminds me of something Cameron Diaz or would wear while traveling.
