If you’ve been living under a rock or haven’t picked up a fashion magazine in the past 2 years, then I can still trick you into believing that this is a ‘sports luxe’ look. The new sporty getup is just as its name suggests, quite glam and couture-inspired. Quite unachievable methinks. Hence why my attempt to look anything sporty or luxurious isn’t all that convincing. But I have an excuse. I still maintain that the term ‘sports luxe’ is an oxymoron. Exercise is not a luxury. It cannot be. It involves exertion, hard work, exercising of the will (the most stubborn muscle we possess), pushing oneself through physical and psychological barriers, sweating, and wearing things containing lycra. I rest my case. In my youth, I was a sprinter and a hockey player. Didn’t play any more sport other than that. I wasn’t good at chess either but I did enjoy the Beep Test. I’ve never set foot in the gym, except to pose with dumbbells. Thankfully the only exercise I did at Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park (check out my previous post of the magnificent mansion here) was a massage. I exercised. In reverse.

So how do you achieve the sports luxe look you ask? Well where there’s a will, there will always be a way. A way via Net-a-Porter of course. All style roads lead to Net-a-Porter. To actually channel Sports Luxe, aside from owning a cap and white pumps or metallic heels, you may want to invest in a Bomber, embrace Perforations (perfect imperfections aka ‘holes’), add a splash of white and slide into a pair of sneakers. But if you’re a gym junkie, you won’t want to go past[HERE].
This is my 2nd post for Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park. The Friday night special still stands (until the end of April). Just mention my name (Hi, my name is Cecylia if you’re new around here) and you’ll be charged $199 instead of $350. That’s a saving for an entire set of 6 Lanvin Russian dolls!
[spoiler title=”中文版”]如果你二年没有拿起一本时尚杂志,你肯定认不出这是一个“豪华运动”的摸样。正如它的名字所暗示的,“豪华运动”相当华丽和时尚。依吾之见,是无法实现的。因此,我在这里示范的更运动而不或豪华。不过,我有一个借口。我仍然认为“运动豪华”这个词十分矛盾。锻炼怎么可能是豪华呢?运动涉及劳累,努力锻炼,依靠意志(我们拥有的最顽固的肌肉),推动自己的身体和心理的障碍,出汗,并得穿紧身衣。你相信我了吗?我小时候一个短跑和曲棍球运动员。没有玩以外的任何运动。我从来没有踏进健身房。我在Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park(看看我以前的博客描述了富丽堂皇的豪宅)唯一作的运动是按摩。相反的运动。
那么,该如何穿运动豪华?当然是通过Net-a-Porter!所有风格条条大路通向Net-a-Porter。要真正散发出豪华,除了拥有一顶帽子,白色或金属高跟鞋,你得投资一件飞行员夹克,爱上穿孔(那些在皮包和皮鞋上无数的“洞”),添加白色的衣着和一双运动鞋。但是,如果你是一个健身房迷,你一定要到[这里]看看。
这是我第二次在Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park旅馆拍的照片。星期五晚上的特价仍然有效,直到四月底!只要提我的名字(嗨,我的名称是Cecylia,如果你是新来的),你会被收取$199,而不是$350。省下的钱你能买整套6 个Lanvin的俄罗斯娃娃!

I am a baseball gal and you just inspired me to rock my jacket Miss Cess. You look amazing and I love your dress too.
aww cheers Berty, you go girl!!! It must be an American thing ;D
I love the sporty chic look, this is no exception :) Love the jacket!
Mili from call me, Maeby
Add me to the list of people who think sports luxe is an odd thing! However I like the sporty jacket with the white dress and more luxe accessories – I think you nailed the look :) As odd as the term sports-luxe may be! :)
aww thank you Mica. To let you in on a secret I have a better sports luxe outfit coming in the next few weeks :D Still a beginner at sports luxe :D
Oooh I look forward to seeing another sports luxe look from you :) You always manage to style things so well :)
aww thank you Mica, the next one is more sports luxe :D
Cecilia you look so chic and stunning in this look. Love the way you teamed a fun bomber jacket over the elegant shirt dress. Love your style so much! Hope you’ve been well. xox
thank you so much lovely how have you been?
Very cute look! I can go with the whole letterman’s jacket look! You rock it well.
I love your jacket, but for me, I have two separate wardrobes. I actually exercise everyday ( in Lycra), then swap into non sporty for the rest of the day. Too many mums in ‘lux’ trackies have spoilt this look for me.
