Best Blogger? Oh, You’re TOO Kind!

After starting YogainHeels.com in September, the past 7 months have been quite a journey. I went from 0 to 60 in what felt like a second, and the opportunities just kept coming.

As those of you who follow me on Facebook and Twitter know, as of yesterday, I was officially voted Best Blogger in Atlanta in Jezebel Magazine. Jezebel is THE young, fashion forward magazine in Atlanta, and their Best of Atlanta title is sought after by everyone. I am floored, honored and so happy to have been considered. I am completely thrilled to have won!

On that note…here are my TWO features! Best of Atlanta 2012 “Best Blogger” winner and Tweet Elite April 2012 for who to follow in Atlanta’s twitter scene!

Best Blog: Yoga in Heels “It’s fitness and fashion in a blog. And the good-read’s mission is to help women get over their working-out insecurities. @yogainheels”.

I can’t believe I was featured on the same page as Falcon’s Quarterback MATT RYAN!

“This Atlanta socialite and fitness guru keeps us updated on fashion, wellness and everything in between.” Tweet: “Yogi Quote of the Day: ‘one moment of experience is more important that thousands of words or explanations’ #qotd”.

Loving that I am officially a socialite of Atlanta! Now I have an excuse to wear sequins everywhere! Oh and did we notice, USHER is on this page?? Watch out!

THANK YOU for voting for me, following my blog and, in all sincerity, reading my posts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you…from the bottom of my Louboutins. 😉

TREND ALERT: The 7/8th Legging

It’s a capri, it’s a pant, it’s a….

what length IS that?

As I grabbed a pair of the new MPG Sport Endorphin capris off the shelf at Atlanta Activewear and ran into the fitting room before my VIP spin party at Flywheel Sports, I thought I was just trying on another pair of super cute capris that had a splice of color! I didn’t know these leggings would revolutionize my workout wardrobe.

I got them on, came out of the fitting room, looked in the mirror and said to Danielle, owner of Atlanta Activewear, “Did my legs get shorter? What length are these pants?”

“They are the new 7/8th capri! Aren’t they a great length? They really elongate your leg.”

They were great, they really and truly did elongate my leg! I have legs on the larger side of life and, although I love 3/4 leggings, I find they aren’t as flattering on my leg shape as I’d like. I lived with it because I didn’t have a slightly longer option–until now!

The skinny:

The 7/8th capri hits at the bottom of the calf muscle, just above the ankle. This is where almost everyone’s legs are skinniest and it creates great contouring of the rest of the leg.

This was a revelation in my workout wardrobe, and MPG isn’t the only brand hitting the 7/8th length! The RESE Activewear Kate capri is a 7/8th, and conveniently, my new neon yellow Cabi jeans are 7/8th as well.

Can’t picture the length? I like to compare it to the length of Audrey Hepburn’s pants in the 60s.

60’s style is SO in for spring. Get your Audrey Hepburn on, and get yourself some 7/8th length pants! You can thank me later.
