Postpartum Athleisure

By LaToya Ebony fashion, toya's life One Comment

I’m just gonna say it. “Athleisure”, THANK GOD it’s trending. There are so many cute and comfy options to choose from now. As a new mom, I’m so grateful. Clothes like these are flexible, can get beat up, wash easily, and are simple to put together. The past few months I’ve been LIVING in tank tops and leggings. It’s such a blessing to be able to step outside of the house wearing the same thing, and not feel like a slob. All I needed was to layer some cute necklaces, fix my top knot bun, and head out.

Athletic Body Type Fashion Picks for Cyber Monday

By LaToya Ebony fashion, holiday, lifestyle No Comments

Cyber Monday is here once again, so it’s time to stock up on styles that look great on your athletic body. Most female muscular body types are broad in the shoulders, and narrow in the hips.
