I Slay in Beyonce’s Ivy Park Fitness Line

Ivy Park Fitness Line Beyonce Citi Bike

I’m a huge fan of both fitness and Beyonce. I love working out to her songs. My personal favorite song of hers to slay to at the gym right now is “Formation.”  So when Queen Bey came out with her fab Ivy Park fitness line, I went straight to Topshop and picked out a pair of Mid-Rise Printed Ankle Leggings by Ivy Park and a matching Seamless Racer Vest by Ivy Park. Then I headed to the West Side Highway in my new Marc By Marc Jacobs Side Stripe Aviator Sunglasses and Skechers Memory Foam Sneakers (these are similar) for a casual ride. Since I’m mostly used to riding stationary bikes now, riding one that moves was kind of a culture shock.

One thing I like most about Beyonce’s new Ivy Park fitness line is the prevalence of the number 4. Like Beyonce I was born on September 4th. For my fellow Virgo Queen Bey, 4 has been a significant number throughout her life and her daughter’s name Blue Ivy is a reference to the Roman numeral IV which means 4. While I’ve never met Beyonce in real life, I feel a special connection to her through our birthdays and now through this fitness line.

How to Wear Yellow Without Looking Like a Bee

Brights and neons have been everywhere lately. Standout colors such as yellow and orange that have been traditionally hard to wear are especially hot right now. The trick to wearing these colors without looking crazy is to embrace and own the color.  No matter how bright and bold it is, never let it wear you.  At the same time, don’t be afraid to wear brights upon brights.  Lastly, accessorize with both neons and understated colors.

1.  Solar Studs:  Great simple yellow and black studs.

2.  Color-Block Stretch-Jersey and Silk-Crepe Dress:  An elegant, yet comfortable dress perfect for a dressy summer event.

3.  Suede Point Court Shoes:  Don’t be afraid to do yellow on yellow.

4.  Swarovski Bumble Bee Bracelet:  An adorable addition to a yellow outfit.

5.  MARC BY MARC JACOBS Classic Q Francesca Tote:  Wearing yellow or not, everyone needs a basic black bag.

Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink was an excellent movie and it’s also a wonderful way to dress.  Pink is powerful so pink on pink really makes a statement.  With colorblocking being all the rage, I put together this fun look colorblocking different shades of pink, red, and orange, but mostly pink.  I’d love to wear something like this to one of the summer horse races either upstate or on Long Island that I fully plan on attending this summer.

Here’s How to Achieve this ‘Pretty in Pink’ Look:

1.  kate spade new york Baublebox Bib Necklace:  A very colorful ‘cherry on top’ of this entire outfit.  You can find this kate spade necklace at Zappos.  I would recommend keeping the rest of the accessories in this look to a minimum since this necklace is so prominent and the outfit is so bright.

2.  Gerbera Flats:  These fab fuchsia flats with adorable bows in the front fit true to size with their off red adjustable straps and are available at Anthropologie.

3.  BCBGMAXAZRIA Sleeveless Colorblock Dress:  Love the colorblocking elements in this BCBG jersey dress available at SHOPBOP.com.

4.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Colorblocked Top Handle Satchel:  Satchel bags are fun to carry and this purse compliments the dress perfectly.  Plus, it’s big enough the fit all your stuff.  This bag is currently sold at Zappos.

5.  La Mer Collections Neon Simple Wrap Watch:  Neon is so in for spring!  I’m obsessed with La Mer’s collection of watches that can be wrapped uniquely around your wrist with quality Italian leathers.  This watch is available at SHOPBOP.com.
