Gear Review: LOLË Silhouette 2 Tank Top

I thought when it came to good workout gear, I was pretty much in the know; turns out I was wrong.

I thought when it came to good workout gear, I was pretty much in the know; turns out I was wrong. So when LOLË — a Canadian-based company specializing in activewear for women that I had never heard of — contacted me about its new Spring-Summer line, I was curious. After looking at the company's website and getting a sense of its philosophy, I was excited. LOLË is an all-encompassing line of clothing devoted to women who lead active lives, love to be outdoors, love to laugh, and want to look feminine.

When I first received the Silhouette 2 Tank Top ($60), I was pretty apprehensive. Disclaimer: sport tanks with built-in bras usually don't work for my larger-on-top frame. Still, I loved the color (sage green) and the design, so I wanted it to work. Guess what? It totally did! Once I took out the removable soft pads from the inner bra, the tank fit perfectly. Because my girls need extra support I still wore my own bra underneath it, but the built-in bra did not cut me off along the chest like most inner bras do.

Gear Review: Under Armour Tank Prevents Chafing

Now that it so unbelievably gorgeous outside, I'm inspired to run for longer periods of time.

Now that it so unbelievably gorgeous outside, I'm inspired to run for longer periods of time. The problem is my normal tank tops have seams that irritate the inside of my arms. If you have that problem too, check out the Under Armour HeatGear Movement Tank ($45).

You can see in the photo that the seams are moved to the back and the front, so even on an hour long run, I didn't have to worry about anything rubbing my skin. I also love the wide straps, since thinner straps tend to dig into my shoulders and leave marks. I also really appreciate the built-in sports bra and that the higher neckline kept my cleavage covered. Also the racerback style let me move my arms easily in all directions without any sense of constriction. Another great thing about this tank is that it wicked away my sweat, so even though my face was dripping, my shirt stayed dry and comfy. As if I didn't already love this tank enough, the name of this color is Pink Sugar. How cool is that? It also comes in Black, Clover (green), and Salsa (red). If you are interested in buying your own wicking sugar tank, you can find one here.

On Our Radar: Stella McCartney Limited-Edition Tank

In case you didn't quite make it to Glastonbury for the music festival last month, Stella McCartney is bringing a little piece of the fun to Yoox.com.

In case you didn't quite make it to Glastonbury for the music festival last month, Stella McCartney is bringing a little piece of the fun to Yoox.com.

She originally created this limited-edition tank, $50, for the Glasto festival. She explains: "The t-shirt is inspired by all the airbrushing my mum and dad used to get made in the '70s."

The tank will be on sale starting July 24 (tomorrow!), and proceeds benefit the Oxfam charity, whose aim is to end worldwide poverty. Ever the Robin Hood, that Stella is.

Get Your Butt in Gear: 2 Bathing Suits in 1

Whether you've been swimming at the pool all winter, or you're looking for a new suit to sport on the beach, check out these from Diamondback.

Whether you've been swimming at the pool all winter, or you're looking for a new suit to sport on the beach, check out these from Diamondback.

There are 2 models: One with thicker tank straps for added support, and one with spaghetti straps for a more feminine look.

Both are $64, and reversible, so it's like getting 2 bathing suits for one price. They're made of 2 layers of a nylon/lycra spandex blend so they'll be extra supportive and not at all see through (I hate that).

The tank version comes in red/black and navy/red, and the spaghetti strap suit comes in black/blue.

These bathing suits look like they cover everything modestly so while you're doing your laps, you won't have to worry about adjusting your suit because your boob or butt cheek is popping out. That's a huge plus in my book.

Relax Already: Get a Fish Tank

I love all animals, and when I was in college, my tiny apartment would only allow fish.

I love all animals, and when I was in college, my tiny apartment would only allow fish. So, I took what I could get, and I've had a fish tank ever since.

Originally, I got fish for some company, but I realized that having them around is really relaxing. I love to hear the gentle bubbling of the filter and watch the graceful movements of the fish's shimmering fins. It has a wonderful calming effect on my mood.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Adidas Mind and Body

Some people avoid going to the gym altogether because they just don't have good gear.

Some people avoid going to the gym altogether because they just don't have good gear. Understood since workout clothes can be downright hideous.

The Mind and Body line from Adidas is not only workout friendly, but it is also fashion friendly. I am loving all three pieces together but if your budget limits, any of the elements would be a good addition to your workout attire.
