Fresh, cool, mint. Smooth, rich, chocolate 🍫
Some pairings are timeless, and right now chocolate is my favourite shade of the season 😍 Mint and white give it that fresh luxe feel 👌
Styled for everything life throws at me, from drizzly school runs to the gym 💪

Think I’ve found a serious contender for the Varley Co-ord. Premium-quality feel without the scary price tag, @oysho might just be my new favourite brand.
I’ve tried a few of their sets and honestly, they haven’t disappointed. I have the Stone co-ord and cannot wait for autumn to kick in so I can live in it 🍂

5 pairs of Amazon running shorts, tested 🏃♀️
💰Cheapest at £12.99 to the priciest at £31

First things first — they’re all good shorts, initial reaction was positive when I unpacked them. If you’re a casual runner, you could throw on any of these and have a great run.
But when you look at pockets + waistband comfort, some pairs stand out more than others.
👉 Pockets matter. Even on a short run, you want space for your phone + AirPods. I’ve done my fair share of retracing my steps after dropping a key 🤪🔑
👉 Waistbands matter. One pair (the white ones) dug in and created overhang — not what I was aiming for 😆 shame because they had a nice sized zip pocket. I’m not convinced sizing up would have changed the tight waistband.
The standout? The 4th pair 💙🎉
Supportive high waistband (if you prefer a bit of control around the stomach, these are a dream — I didn’t realise how much I’d like that until I tried them).
Lightweight + breathable fabric.
Side pocket big enough for your phone. Sadly no zip, but it’s deep enough to keep a key secure 🔑 That’s why it’s a 4 and not a 5/5
At £31, they’re the priciest of the bunch — but honestly the best value for money and I’m keeping them 🙌
The good to know…
1 - Khaki ✅ snug fit, nice waistband, but pocket only fits keys + AirPods. I really liked these but would size up to a 10 next time.
2 - Sky blue ❌ floaty tennis-skirt vibe, no phone pocket.
3 - White ❌ waistband too restrictive, dug in.
5 - Icy blue 🤍 bargain at £12, but zero tummy support.
⭐ 4 - Navy = the clear winner for me 🏅They also have them in loads of colours! 🎨
I’m wearing an 8/S and am an S in H&M and other high street shops.

When I saw H&M’s SoftMove range now comes in seamless shorts and flared leggings in my favourite colour, I had to check them out in person 😍
Shopping online is great, but nothing beats seeing the details up close – and SoftMove is full of them 👌
It’s probably the most underrated sports range on the high street: buttery soft, every fit you could imagine, and a colour palette you’ll want in every piece (this is just a snapshot).
I’ve mixed my favourite shade three ways – Blush, Luxe, and Sport – Which one’s your vibe?

Tried to hunt down a Varley-style co-ord without the price tag… mission unsuccessful ❌
The listing photos looked so good. But in real life? Thin material, pyjama waistband, and a flimsy zip.
Colour’s lovely though, so thumbs up for that, and actually… they would make great pyjamas, or even a home lounge set, but it’s not ticking the athleisure box I was hoping for.

I thought my days in ‘joggers’ were behind me… until these caught my eye 👀
The waistband is 👌, they hang beautifully and feel super comfy 😍 (They`re also only £24!)
The colour had me at first, I didn’t want full matchy so I played around and landed on three combos I love.
Sage Energy
Fresh White
Cloud Grey.

Looks like COS ❤️ Costs under £40 🙌
This funnel-neck sweatshirt has that sculpted scuba fit that just sits right, and don’t get me started on the white shorts. I’m obsessed.
Worn them for lazy days at home and meetings in London 🤷♀️ Somehow they just work with everything.
Minimal effort. Still looks put together.

Spied these seamless leggings in Tesco 👀
They look just like Gymshark Vital Originals - Had to try them 😍
£14. Soft. Seamless. They looked the part, but could they handle a Hyrox session?
I took them for a test run (burpees, lunges, the lot) and the results are in:
✅ Didn’t budge
✅ Stayed dry
✅ As good as the big brands

Spotted this beauty and couldn’t walk away 👀
They’ve got matching leggings too, but I went mix-and-match for a softer vibe.
Burgundy gets me every time 😍
The top and jacket? Giving serious Tala energy.
The leggings? Total throwback to the OG Gymshark Vitals we all loved 👌
I’ve dropped a few more details on the leggings in the info.

From ‘haven’t drawn in 20 years’ to spending hours a day sketching and playing with colours… crazy how some things gain momentum…
I’ve always loved a jumpsuit, effortless but elegant, comfy but put together. That’s the vibe I was chasing in this mini collection with three different fits…
I played with ways to layer gym kit underneath without losing that clean neckline and tailored shape…
I hope you like it 🫶
Trialled about 100 digital brush strokes tonight 🙈
Colouring the sketches is harder than it looks (for a beginner like me, anyway), trying to avoid that felt tip finish 😆
Not quite there yet, but I’m working on it… and excited to keep playing with palettes 🎨
I’ve been playing with colours this evening as my gym jacket obsession continues 🤷♀️
I’m always drawn to block colour and love layering similar shades for a tonal look…
With this one, I’m thinking a matching base across the jacket, with contrast coming from texture, maybe a satin-matte mix, a tonal zip, or subtle piping detail.
Simple on the surface, throw on for the gym, then keep on all day 😍
Thinking of this lighter colour way and the midnight…
What do you think? 🤔
Side note, I found an image of two birds that look like they’re wearing shell suits, check my stories, it’s too cute 🥰

My gym week in clips 🎥
Still learning, still levelling up and staying focused.
Tried new skills, found new favourites.
Sled pull is still my weakest, but I’m enjoying the challenge of it and it’s fast becoming my favourite. I’ll need to start remembering gloves unless I want leather hands by December!
I trained with my doubles partner for the first time in a few weeks and we hit a joint PB on the sled push 💪
I love the way we challenge each other to be better 🫶
I also got myself down to a hyrox group session, learning new skills and improving technique is what I need right now and I’m really enjoying the group setting.
Keeping my eye on the prize 👀
London Hyrox, we’re coming for you.
Not perfect, not polished, just consistent.
And that’s where the magic happens ⭐️

Spotted this beauty today😍
Couldn’t see my size, but wasn’t leaving without it 😆
The oversized fit is 👌 and the colour, charcoal dream.
Classic me: went in for party balloons, came out with this 🖤
£15 in the sale at Morrisons. Lightweight. Obsessed. 😍
And yes I’m still wearing the Sainsbury’s shorts 🤣
#athleisurestyle #athleisure #gymgirls #gymstyle
The Shell sketches have been tormenting me all day so I had to go back in 🤪✍️
I’ve been imagining block colours with contrast fabrics for a super luxe feel. I’m manifesting this jacket so hard I’m actually annoyed it doesn’t exist yet 🤣
Midnight blue… are we into it?
#moodboard #gymwear #gymstyle
Go easy on me 🫣
I’m just a girl that’s obsessed with kit 😆(and grit… obviously)
Some would call this procrastination 😆
I’m calling it manifesting the outfits I wish I had for the gym, especially for that day one energy.
Enter: Sketch Drops 01–04…
What do you think?
Are you also craving a shell suit revival?! Just me? 😆
