After trialing the Sports Luxe look for the first time [HERE], here is my second attempt. This time, the jacket takes on a more futuristic or K-Pop version (I bought it over 10 years ago in Shanghai and am finally taking it out for a stroll today, those zips on the sides of my arms can be undone!), the dress is a little more dramatic (see it in its original glory HERE) with a daring centre slit and the silver heels transforms into trainer types. The shining hardware, zips and Velcro lend a sporty edge to this tri-toned look. I wouldn’t advocate you wear it to your next indoor soccer game, lacrosse match or even to watch the footy in (the slit may be a little too inviting to some who are not used to seeing daring slits), but it serves as good armor to climb stairs.
Wear: Vintage Earrings, Jacket & Clutch / Paula Walden Rings / Hubby’s watch / Susan Rep Dress / Steve Madden trainer heels
Where: Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park
Lately I’ve been meeting more and more people who take exercise super seriously. They clock 10 km in a single outing, pound the gym 5 days a week, and would neglect sleep for Pump. As they describe their daily routines to me, which somehow always involve juicing with plenty of silver-beet, my mind would unwittingly wander to the land of cakes, macarons and baklava… Incidental exercise is the only exercise I do: walking to local cake shops, rummaging through thrift stores and bopping when hip-hop beats are on. But I will admit, I do have a thing for stairs. Being geographically higher somehow has the same effect on my mood…
How do you exercise?
[spoiler title=”中文版”]这是我第二次试穿“豪华运动”的款式,上一次的穿着在[这里]。这一次的夹克带有一点未来或韩国-流行性(两侧手臂的拉链可以拉开!这件衣服是十年前我在上海买的),这条裙子才真带有“豪华”性(请看我上次在这里穿着它),银色的高跟鞋变成一双带有隐藏跟的运动跑鞋。所有银色的硬件,拉链,尼龙搭扣带给这套衣服运动的风格。我不主张你穿这套衣服去参加一场室内足球比赛,或曲棍球比赛,甚至去观看澳洲足球(因为这条裙子太漂亮了。。。),但作为爬楼梯的服装它还挺不错的。
最近我遇见越来越多超认真锻炼的人。他们一次去跑步就能跑10公里的路,每周5天去拜访健身房,甚至愿意抛去睡眠去参加不同的运动课程。当他们描述着他们的运动程序和喝蔬菜汁的时候,我的脑海里立刻出现法国甜点和果仁蜜饼…我不怎么运动:唯一做的是步行到蛋糕店,在旧货店里浏览,听到音乐时会跳一会儿舞。但我承认,我挺喜欢爬楼梯的。就好比地面越高,我的心情也越喜乐。
你喜欢锻炼吗?[/spoiler]
I’m not a big fan of gyms but I do feel better after some good walking/running/swimming :) I love the clutch!

well done- yes walking is ultimately the best exercise- nothing beats that :D
Edgy and chic! Honestly, Zumba, bellydance and pole fitness have really kept me dedicated in my quest to be healthy.
Ah Zumba- that’s one sport I really want to try :D Thank you for sharing!!!
Oh I really like that jacket, you should definitely wear it more often! I have to admit walking Cooper is pretty much the only exercise I get! I’ve tried to do yoga on the wii but since I haven’t done that in about 3 weeks now I guess I can’t call it regular….haha!
What a stunning look! So sporty chic! The jacket sure is my fave piece!
