Posh & Sporty
Women now make up 50% of the athletes competing in the Olympics. Sure, it took over a century to reach this milestone, but I'll take it. From Simone Biles’ breathtaking performances despite her calf injury to Celine Dion’s triumphant return to singing, the surprising news of Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez competing while seven months pregnant, and Allyson Felix's partnership with Pampers to provide a nursery for moms at the Olympic village, it's clear that women are thriving and making their mark in Paris and beyond.
Inspired by them, I’ve selected a few items to help you channel your inner fashion athlete. Think of it as a blend of Posh and Sporty Spice, perfect for school pick up, a walk with a girlfriend, and yes, the gym.
And in the spirit of celebrating all women, we have an exciting pop-up lineup at our shop this weekend. Royal Jelly Harlem’s Founder Maya Gorgoni is back with her fun African inspired pieces, and Paper Fig Foundation’s Executive Director Emily Weitz will be joining us on the porch with hats, totes and fun accessories made in Uganda. Scroll down for my quick Q&A with LDJ Productions and Paper Fig Foundation's Founder Laurie DeJong, who is a force to be reckoned with.
