What I Want Wednesday–Workout Gear

The ice cream stand has replaced the roasted nut stand in Geneva and today’s high was 65 degrees. There is no doubt in my mind that Spring has arrived and sweaty Summer runs are right around the corner.

I have a lot to look forward to in the workout world these days including rooftop yoga after work and morning training runs. As soon as the Geneva Half Marathon is over my focus will move to training for the Berlin Marathon! I’ll take two weeks to focus on strength, clean eating and yoga to make sure I kickoff the 16 weeks of marathon training in the best shape possible. I have my eyes on a few of these bright, sweat wicking pieces of workout gear as incentive to push through the humid mornings and make sure I get my OM on at least once a week.

Fashion: Paris, je t’aime

I can’t believe it is already Monday! This week is going to fly by as I’m looking forward to a big trip this weekend – our four year wedding anniversary in Paris!

We have a number of plans while we’re in the city including the Eiffel Tower, Rodin Museum, Musee d’Orsay, an 8 mile running tour through the city with Paris Running tours, and a special dinner on Saturday night at Lasserre. It will be a weekend to remember, that is for sure!

In honor of the trip, I thought I’d share what I plan to wear Saturday night for our celebratory dinner. I tend to be more comfortable wearing skinny, dark jeans and sparkly tank tops out on the town, but in honor of Paris and the romantic backdrop, I decided to go a bit more glam this weekend.

What I Want Wednesday: Brown Tall Boots

This week, I am on the hunt for brown boots. I know exactly what I want, which is making the hunt harder not easier. I want boots that are taller than mid calf, medium to light brown, leather, feature a wide enough calf so they can go over jeans while not being too slouchy.

Right now we’re having a bit of an Indian Summer in Geneva so I can’t quite transition fully into tall boots, sweaters and scarves. I can’t believe that this week it will reach 75 degrees even though just a few weeks ago it was in the 40s.

The biggest difference I notice in both London and Geneva versus New York City is how much it cools off at night. Most evenings it is in the low 50s and the breeze can make it feel as if it’s closer to 40. Last Saturday night when we ate outside in Marylebone we were all in layers including sweaters and jackets, wishing we’d added a scarf to the mix!

I’m currently evaluating my current closet and figuring out what needs to be added or replaced. The number one thing that I’ve noticed is that my brown boots are beyond exhausted. They have been resoled three times already over their 4 year lifespan and are no longer comfortable. It’s time to say goodbye to my beloved Madden boots and replace them with a fresh pair of tall boots. Here are a few of my favorites which I’ve pinned in preparation for my New York City shopping trip in two weeks!
