Kickin’ It With 52 Intern Ashley Kim

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 12:00:51 +0000

Hey, guys! My name is Ashley, and I am a sophomore at the George Washington University located in the heart of Washington, DC. I am a Business Administration major with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in Psychology. I have the privilege of working with the amazing and bad ass Sarah for the next couple of months. Today, I specifically have the privilege of talking to you about college fashion styles and tips. Ever since I was five-years-old, able to pick out my own outfits for Kindergarten, I have been obsessed with fashion and expressing myself through my personal style and adaptations of trends. As independent as I seemed as a five-year-old, my mother still had the power to nag me into wearing comfortable shoes for a mother-daughter date into New York City, when I wanted to wear brand new flats I had not broken into. I still have to thank her for that. Today, as a college student, with some days as long as 9am to 6pm, I have learned that comfort is my best friend. I have walked here and there, end to end, so many times in booties, heels, and flats that hurt my feet so […]

On The Go With Topo

When it comes to creating a healthy workout routine, sporting the right footwear is just as important as actually setting foot in the gym in the first place. But picking the right pair for you and the activity you are using them for is easier said than done. There are shoes for just about every sport out there but which one is right for you and if you travel as much as we do, is there a shoe that can do it all while being easy to pack? The answer is YES!! Being fitness bloggers, we have tried on our fair share of fitness clothing and shoes and let us tell you, not all fitness gear is created equal. Either it looks cute and instantly falls apart when you use it or looks awful and fits like a dream. Call us high maintenance but we want functional fitness gear that actually looks good too! After much searching for versatile athletic shoes, we found pretty much everything we were looking for in Topo Athletic’s new ST-2 shoe. As you all know from our past posts, we have been Topo Athletic fans for a while now. So when we heard that they were dropping a new shoe, […]

Topo Athletics Review Plus Giveaway

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:00:51 +0000

We have been sporting around some pretty fun fitness gear lately but haven’t touched upon the most important support system in a good work out … our sneaks! Topo Athletic was kind enough to let us try out their latest master piece which are the Magniflys, and we made sure to put them to good use. Michelle took them on a 7 mile hike in Brentwood, California while Sarah packed them along on her excursions throughout Wyoming. After hours spent running, walking, hiking and everything in between we still felt the energy to keep going thanks to the underfoot cushioning built in. Plenty of room in the toes but still snug on top to hold us in. These well thought out kicks were engineered with the runner in mind, and they hold up to their expectations as we have continued to use them on our daily work out routines and morning runs. Check out the Fli-Lyte here, another favorite of ours, great for runners as well with a fun color combo. Giveaway time! Topo Athletics wants you to try a pair out for yourself! That way you can see with your own two feet how awesome these sneakers are and the support they […]

A Trip to the Local Farmer’s Market

Michelle Martin — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:27:54 +0000

Every chance I get, I try to make a trip to the local farmer’s market on Sundays. I can’t think of a better way to start any day than walking the market tents and scoping out the produce, all while supporting small businesses and local farmers. My hubby and I really enjoy cooking together. It’s a creative outlet for us and sometimes it is the only bonding time we have with our crazy work schedules. During our visits to the farmer’s market, we find inspiration for planning our next meal while perusing all the local fruits and veggies that they have to choose from. That night we made zucchini spaghetti with fresh, homemade tomato sauce. So tasty! If you want to try out our sauce recipe you can find it here! For this Farmer’s Market trip, I thought it would be fun to dress that part 😉 Wearing- Overalls: Frame; Top: Intermix (old, similar here); Bag: Mulberry (old; similar here); Shoes: Superga xo Michelle
