It has been awhile since I last posted but have a few upcoming trips that I am very excited about--including Puma Punku and Lake Titicaca Bolivia (for 11.11.11) and from there I will hike the 5-day Trek to Machu Pichu and then head down to the Lima, Peru. I will be posting all about it here (as well as adding updates about recent trips in the U.S.).
In the interim, I have to share my latest must-have find. As many of you know, I work as a fit model for dozens of designers (essentially I am a live-mannequin and all clothes get fit on me prior to being sold in the stores). As a result I am exra-picky when it comes to comfort and the fit and feel of garments. I am so obsessed with these leggings that I have to share!
The Under Armour Heat Gear Compression capri leggings are AMAZING!! The fabric feels cool on your skin, holds you in without being too tight, AND they are great for travel because they can double as leggings and/or can be even worn out at night under a dress or longer-length tunic top (to hide the logo which hits on the right upper-thigh) (they come in capri and full length). I highly recommend them!!
Purchased from: Nordstrom--they were so popular they SOLD OUT. You can follow the direct link to purchase on UnderArmour here: http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/pid1203531-001
Price: $34.99
Color: Black
Fit: I purchased a size small. They fit well and are pretty true to size but are a tad tight at the waist band (if you are fuller in the high hip/waist, they can create that unsightly muffin-top look). If you are fuller in those areas and want to avoid this, I would suggest rolling down the waist-band OR ordering a size-up.
I am 5'7 and the length hits approx 4 inches below the knee (although I prefer them slightly scrunched up to just under the knee).
Again, these pants are so comfortable and versatile they are a Must-Have for every active woman or traveler!
