My Favs from Lorna Jane’s Fit Fall Fashion Collection

Hi friends! Hope that you all are having a great weekend and a fab start to your November! Want to laugh? I got home from a hike at 6:15 on Halloween night, and gave out all 4 big bags of candy by 7 pm. We had a ton of trick-or-treaters! My hubby and I then proceeded to turn off all of our lights and drink wine while trying to hide from them for the next couple of hours. 🙂

For those of you that live in a country that does Daylight Saving Time, how are you feeling about it ending? I hate how dark it’s going to get so early, but loved having an extra hour in my morning today. I put the time to good use and practiced some yoga!

Speaking of working out, today I’m talking about Lorna Jane’s new fashion line for the fall. It’s no secret that I love exercise clothes. I mean I workout almost every day and wear casual exercise clothes much of my life, so it only makes sense that I want those clothes to be cute!

LJ Fall Line Graphic

Lorna Jane is such a fun brand. I’ve worked with them in the past and had the pleasure of meeting Lorna Jane herself last summer. You can tell that she really loves what she does and puts her heart into her brand, which only makes me like them more. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite looks from their new Fit Fall Fashion collection, so here we go!

First off, an absolute essential to my fitness clothing wardrobe is to have great leggings. I’ve had so many workout pants that become see-through after a bunch of washes (Victoria’s Secret, I’m talking to you and the 10 pairs of pants of yours that I own!), and the ones I own that I don’t feel 100% comfortable in I usually just don’t wind up wearing often. To me, it’s worth it to invest in some pairs of leggings that are versatile, fit perfectly and are nice and stretchy. I’ve been digging leggings with fun color pops lately, but will always be loyal to black, goes-with-everything leggings like these:

LJ Halloween Outfit

Next up is Lorna Jane’s floral pieces in their new line. I don’t own any floral workout apparel, and am diggin’ these pieces: LJ Fall Fashion Florals

I’d love to get their sports bra and tank to wear with black leggings, or to get their floral leggings to wear with a plain black tank or tee. Who says you can’t kick ass in feminine workout gear?!  

PromQueenSportsBra

One thing that’s missing from my wardrobe is a lot of long sleeved zip-ups. I have a couple that I wear to death, but might want to pick up one or two more as chillier weather moves in (I know, I know… Before you go snickering at that comment, it’s only 63 degrees in San Diego today and it rained yesterday!). I really like this yellow zip through in Lorna Jane’s new collection:

CocoZipThrough

I’ll definitely be making a trip to a nearby Lorna Jane store in either Escondido, La Jolla, or San Diego soon to try on some of this gear! You can check out their store finder page to see if they have a location near you, or order some pieces from their new collection online here.

Disclaimer: While this post is sponsored by Lorna Jane and Fit Approach, all opinions expressed are genuinely my own. I know that I’ve had a couple of sponsored posts in the past week, and sometimes that’s just the way they fall, but as always, I appreciate your support!

Tell me… What new workout apparel is on your wish list – leggings, sports bras, tanks, long sleeved shirts, etc.? Which of these new Lorna Jane looks are you a fan of?

    I love the orange tank and the yellow jacket. I’m not sure how I feel about the flowers – I would have to put them on:)

    I am not a fan of the daylight savings. I like my days nice and long! It’s so depressing how early it gets dark now!

    I can’t believe how many trick or treaters you had!

    I love Lorna Jane! I got a bunch of stuff from her booth at Blogfest and everything is so super cute. I think I like the yellow zip up the best. It’s so sunny and cheerful!

    Sometimes I feel bad for my husband because I wear workout clothes ALL THE TIME, but then I realize how good my butt looks in leggings and I don’t feel so bad anymore 😉

    I loveee the bottom right tank in your first photo. The three different color sections is so fun. I am too cheap for these clothes, but they sure are fun to look at! 🙂

    I’m with you – I love it being light in the mornings earlier but I hate that it gets dark so early! Trade off I guess 🙂

    And now you have me wanting to go buy some new clothes… haha

      That’s exactly how I feel right now actually… I’m in the mood for some new leggings and a couple of long sleeved zip ups at the moment!

    I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I need longer leggings now that it’s getting colder so this is perfect timing! I’m all about great leggings too, and somehow so many of them do end up wearing out too quickly. Good to know about VS leggings – I’ve only tried their sports bras and was considering checking out some of their other fitness clothes, but I’ll stay away from the leggings! I’m a fan of Nike and GapFit, both seem to last.

    Going to go check out Lorna Jane’s website now!

📍The Living Desert Zoo in Palm Springs is such a charming place to spend an afternoon! At this conservation-focused zoo, we loved all of their animatronic displays & children’s play + learning spaces — and a highlight of the day was definitely getting to feed the giraffes! 🦒

La Jolla is an ever popular area, but for good reason… It’s one of the most beautiful areas in San Diego ☀️ & my favorite time of year to visit is NOW when it’s Harbor Seals Pupping Season! 🦭

📍Casa Beach is closed off from humans from mid-December through mid-May for birthing & bonding, and most of the seal pups are born in February & March. They are so much fun to watch!

Last weekend we got to ride on the world’s largest rotating aerial tram car, the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway 🌴⛰️ Guests travel 6,000 feet up in just 10 minutes! 

Once we reached the top, we hiked a couple miles of trails in Mount San Jacinto State Park - where it was only 37 degrees and windy, brr! - and took in the beautiful views. 

Here are a few tips for optimizing a Palm Springs Aerial Tramway adventure: 

✨Show up early. We didn’t realize how big of a production this excursion would be, and when we arrived at 11 am, the wait time was 2 hours to ride the tramway. If I could do it over, I would show up at opening time. 

✨Bring breakfast. While they do have food options while you wait for your tram ride, it’s stereotypical not very healthy American food. Pick up food at a local cafe and bring it with you to enjoy outside. We love @palmgreenscafe!

✨ Bring extra clothes. The temperature at 8,500 ft elevation varies from 20-40 degrees colder, so make sure to pack a jacket, sweatshirt, hat, even gloves.

And I’d add, the more you like the person you’ve become, the less stock you put into others liking you.

Who else is pumped for the Olympics to start?! 🇺🇸

This curling competition experiment is a hit with my kiddo! Here’s how to make it: 

You’ll need: 
✨A rimmed baking sheet
✨Aluminum foil 
✨Permanent markers (we used black + red) 
✨A variety of pebbles 
✨Optional: buttons, craft pom-poms and other objects to experiment playing with 

1️⃣ Spread foil across your baking sheet. Draw the starting line on 1 side and a small circle inside a large circle on the other side. 

2️⃣ Place your “rink” in the freezer, then fill it with water halfway up the sides. Chill until it’s totally frozen. 

3️⃣ Time to play! Each player picks 3 pebbles. Take turns using a finger to push your pebble towards the target. 

🥌 Pebbles that land in the inner circle = 3 points each 
🥌 Pebbles that land in the outer circle = 1 point each
🥌 3 rounds = 1 game 

❗️Players can hit other pebbles & knock them out of the circles, which is fun! 

❗️Once all players use their pebbles, that’s the end of round 1. Tally the scores as you go! 

✨Idea from @kiwico_inc’s Winter Wonders experiment book

Welcome to my new series, Easy Plant-Based Meals, where I share simple, nutritious meals that I make for my family on the regular. 🥦🥕🥬🧅🧄🫘🫑
 
Today I’m making Garlic Pearled Couscous with Roasted Chickpeas & Veggies. 

Here are the ingredients you need to serve 4: 

1️⃣ 2-3 boxes of Near East Pearled Couscous with Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil (I find that 3 boxes yield about 4.5 cups; you can also use a plain pearled couscous)
2️⃣ 1 can garbanzo beans 
3️⃣ 4 TSP avocado oil 
4️⃣ 1 zucchini 
5️⃣ 1 bell pepper
6️⃣ 2T-1/4 cup pine nuts, optional but I like the added heart-healthy crunch
7️⃣ Salt, pepper & paprika to taste 

Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 375. Drain & rinse chickpeas, then add to a baking dish. Add 2 TSP of avocado oil, and a nice sprinkle of salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Mix it up, then cook for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. 

2️⃣ Cook the couscous according to the box directions. 

3️⃣ Heat 2 tsp avocado oil in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Chop the zucchini and bell pepper, add a sprinkle of salt & pepper, then cook until tender. 

4️⃣ Lightly toast the pine nuts. 

5️⃣ Plate the couscous, add the roasted chickpeas & veggies on top, & sprinkles pine nuts onto each plate. Enjoy!

🌎 The largest National Park in the contiguous U.S. - 3.4 million acres! - did not disappoint 🔥 Here’s what we had on our agenda for Day 2️⃣ of exploring Death Valley National Park: 

📍Explore the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
🛷Go sledding down the dunes! 
🥾Hike Mosaic Canyon Trail ~ a 3.5-mile out & back trail with 974 ft elevation gain. This trail was so much fun & the rock formations are gorgeous! My daughter loved climbing & bouldering around. It features some cool slot canyons and difficult rock scrambling - our kinda speed! 
🚰 Refuel at Stovepipe Wells Village ~ Nearby pitstop within the park for gas, restrooms, a general store & restaurants
