Get Physical Without Looking Like a Gym-Rat

By Rhea Cortado

Living out of a suitcase for weeks at a time means that you don’t have an extra inch of precious carry-on space for both a futuristic moisture-wicking high-tech top and a cool vintage muscle tank. I still live by the same nomad philosophy at home by keeping my wardrobe lean and choosing items that look streetwear rad but will be comfortable for going straight to a salty, dusty or rocky adventure.

Goldfaden-Fall-active

Somewhere in between hardcore camping and an afternoon stroll in nature, here’s what I can’t wait to wear this Fall that fulfills both the fashionable and functional checklists.

POLER Willow reversible poncho (http://www.polerstuff.com/collections/outerwear/products/willow-reversible-poncho-sky)

Lightweight for compressing into a backpack, Poler’s Willow poncho hits on the cape trend and looks more sculpturally cool than a traditional windbreaker. Choose the color—reversible sky blue or mustard—based on your mood and outfit of the day.

BRIXTON Detroit shirt (http://www.brixton.com/brixton-products/brixton-womens/brixton-womens-tops/detroit.html)

There’s something about men’s shirts that hang off a woman’s body in an effortless tomboy way, plus this Brixton baseball tee has a cool athletic-looking twist.

Teva De La Vina boot (http://www.teva.com/womens-de-la-vina-low-comfortable-riding-boots/887278268161,default,pd.html?start=2&cgid=women-boots)

I live by Teva’s hiking shoes for uphill walks on dirt trails. I love the idea of these modern boots that have toothy rubber soles and comfortable cushioning for walking all day anywhere, but never looking like a tourist in sensible walking shoes.

Michi Rifical leggings at Carbon 38 (https://carbon38.com/marketplace/rifical-legging#)

It’s not where you can wear these Michi leggings, but more like where can you not wear these leggings? The sleek styles lines of the sheer mesh adds a dressed-up vibe and hello, they are leggings—run around in them.

STANCE Vortex socks (http://www.stance.com/shop/vortex-2996)

Don’t forget about your socks. I wear Stance socks in fun patterns to show slivers of vivid color every day.

5 Must-Have Pieces for Fall

We are so happy to showcase a post from one of our favorite blogs, Style Wax Poetic! Kristen is such a style icon and we are dying over her Fall fashion picks and think that you will too!

By Kristen of Style Wax Poetic

It’s time for pumpkin flavored lattes, chic oversized sweaters, boots and layering. We love fall fashion. Getting ready for fall is easier than you think, you’ll just need to add a couple amazing staples that you’ll wear throughout the season, which will make you feel excited and renewed.  As as a fashion blogger, I spend A LOT of time thinking of what pieces are the best investments and how I can take what I already have in my closet and make it new again! Re-inventing what you already have in your wardrobe is key. Here are a few pieces I’m coveting for the season.

 

Y.A.S Henni Coat in Orange – this color is appearing everywhere! I’m a big supporter of color, after moving from New York to LA, I realize I have way too much black. Make a statement with a beautiful coat that will brighten up a possibly gloomy cold day. Orange isn’t your color? Try Tibi’s Bonded Shearling Fencing Coat or Club Monaco’s Carolyn Jacket I love the multiple materials and colors. Another goodie is this Jenni Kayne Pony Panel Coat, with just a touch of leopard.

It took me a minute to re-adopt the idea of plaid, but after seeing how cute it can be in a dress with boots or adding a touch of color with a plaid scarf, I’m totally on board.

Over-the-Knee boots are SO the item this fall. Worried about looking like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women? Don’t worry, as long as you don’t pair them with a skin tight dress, you wont, trust me. Wear them with skinny jeans or leather leggings and a huge over-sized sweater for a chic, cool and sexy look. These Chinese  Laundry boots are super chic and just the right price.  Also, these Alice and Olivia boots are to die for.

To stay in the game this season, it’s key to bring your hat game.  From leather caps to fedoras, I’m loving them all. This grey number by Michael Stars will literally go with anything. Or, wear a leather cap with any dressy look to tone it down a notch for daytime.

​Seriously, how effortlessly cool does she look in this l vegan leather top by BCBG? L​ea​ther is another must​-​have these season and seasons to come. From leather tops in black or tan, leather leggings with boots and a casual t-shirt, or caps hats​, you’ll make a statement with leather this season!

susceptible. This disease does not discriminate by color or age, so all women need to get checked and encourage other women around us to do the same.

Yearly mammograms starting at age 40, can save your life. Self exams are also crucial and only take 5 minutes. If you have a family history of BC or fall into a high risk category, then you may want to start younger. Regular screening saves lives, period. Breast cancer is not a death sentenced if found early. It is important to understand issues surrounding prevention and diagnosis etc.

In 2009 the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended that women with an average risk of breast cancer start screening at age 50. This sent outrage through the medical community and the debate continues on today.

Goldfaden MD is donating 10% of all sales of Doctor’s Scrub during the month of October to Cancer and Careers. Donating to a BCA charity or supporting a company’s initiative is a great way to give back and help continue the fight against this disease. Running or walking in a 5k for BCA support is another wonderful way to give back and it is also go for you. Let’s all do our part to bring as much awareness to this disease- talk about this with other women in your life and encourage them to get screened! You may just save someone’s life.
