Mode Snow

Skitbox is not a brand... but an Australian female comedy group! You undoubtedly noticed the rise and success of athleisure = sportswear to wear everyday any time whatever the occasion as depicted in the video below. This video gives a great twisted and humorous perspective on the boom of this fashion trend. I thought it'd be nice to share! Check out more from Skitbox here. ~Mayta

With fall just around the corner, it is time to prepare those legs for the riding days. This past month I have been working out for this weekend's MUD DAY just outside of Lyon, France. If you got or get a chance to take part in this event it is just insanely fun, and it gets dirty! It consists of 13KM with about 22 different military style obstacles. Picture: Pierre Alessandri You race with your team, there is no leaving anyone behind and we make it together to the finish line! It is my first time in this event, and from the pictures it seems that only a few girls sign up. But isn't mud good for your skin? For this post, I made a selection of ROXY's fall/winter sports wear . I love their sports lines and they get better with every new collection. It is one of the best combinations of style, colour and technical details you can find amongst board sports inspired brands out there. As they evolved into rock climbing and yoga, I now have Roxy for every sport I practic...

Spring/Summer lines often include items that are appropriate for fall. And the best part is that they are on sale at this time of the year and summer was too hot to even consider buying them any earlier. Let's travel to Sweden and check out what CLWR (or COLOUR WEAR) still has in store for us before their Fall/Winter line drops. Quick, enjoy the goods on sale now! Swedish are surrounded by nature and their lifestyle is often very much in sync with the environment. CLWR designs functional garments that bridge the gap between the wild outdoors and modern urban culture. Sporty and stylish all in one. Here is a selection... yes, a whole lotta leopard prints! Let's start with my fav, the KNIGHT HOOD @46€ instead of 65. If like me you're a Medium, we missed the deal, snif! Up next, the PUNK HOOD @53€ instead of 75. It features a button closure instead of a zip.  Leopard LEGGINGS ! CLWR has them for 13€ and you still have Small and Medium available as well as ...

It's online! Picture Organic Clothing Fall/Winter collection... Let's check out a selection of their environmentally-friendly designs. Picture is a French company, a shooting star that has rapidly gained recognition and praise among the French snow community. It has gone long ways since its creation in 2008 by three French riders and is now present in the surf, skate and art scenes. Check out their story  here . So what is so special about them? Picture was created around a key concern: our environment . Not only is their gear made from recycled resources, but they even created a recycle program for snow jackets, skateboards and even the in-store signage, which they turn into shopping bags! So what's in store? Picture this ladies: Show your love for the mountain with the DELMONT  Tee featuring a beautiful graphic of a pine tree held by loving and caring hands... ....and the MORTON  Tee with a majestic deer head, both in Black and 100% Organic Cotton. ...

Dior's So Real sunglasses have a certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes them so fashion forward, borderline edgy, and yet so Dior... And undeniably, Rihanna rocks them like no one else. Part of Raf Simon's designs for Dior, the So Real sunglasses are a mix of aviator and art-deco-chic inspirations. (Getty) After the major Ray-Ban Wayfarer frenzy, let's open up to more original and wild styles. Here is a selection from a couple of fun brands worth checking out: I chose the ALCATRAZ design from SPY with the Pink Sunset frame and Happy Bronze lenses. It features an oversized round frame and a metal cip-on Nylon lens. Next, WOODZEE . If you have not heard of them yet, definitely check them out. A beautiful company making amazing  products while respecting our planet. All their pieces are crafted from natural and renewable materials. You can also choose to contribute to their World Program by making a donation during check out. Here is one of my favs,...

Founded in 2005, my math is right, HLZBLZ is celebrating 10 years! Founded by Misslawn, who remains today the brand's creative director, HLZBLZ was born in NY and raised in Los Angeles for fashionistas seeking edgy designs for their street wear. The brand continues to pay tribute to our liberators of the "bra burning 60's"! So, to clarify, wearing HLZBLZ is synonym to supporting and believing in female empowerment. Here is a selection amongst the new arrivals and the Looney Tunes 2014 collab which is now on sale! The BALANCE B*TCHES Muscle Tank  features custom artwork by HLZBLZ and is a trip back to tie dye loving days. I usually don't like to wear a chick's sexy face on my chest, but here is one I adopt! The  HIGH VIBES Tee . I'll let you read HLZBLZ's description and inspiration behind the Tee by following the link ;)    The TWEETY WINK TANK  from the LOONEY TUNES collection is composed of  a polka dot black and white crop top wi...

Back in 2013... two of my favorite brands got together, joined forces, mixed their  secret ingredients to come up with the first L.A.M.B . x BURTON collab. Two years later, these great creative minds are getting back together to treat us once again to the sickest outerwear and winter coats... But the torture!! We have to wait until this fall ladies to get the goods! To be the first to know about its availability fill up Burton's email form  or follow them on twitter @LAM Bfashion and @burtonsnowboard. L.A.M.B., which stands for Love Angel Music Baby is Gwen Stefani's fashion line. Born like 10 years ago, I remember rocking their first sneakers. Not only do I admire Gwen since he career debuts as No Doubt's lead singer... but she always rocked a unique style of her own that, lucky us, she makes available through L.A.M.B. It is just so sad to learn that the amazing couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are in the process of divorcing. It looks like, for the sake of th...

Working out in the 80s must have been so much fun! Spandex, leotards, leg warmers and waist belts... Do you recognise Heather Locklear above? Well... I vote for Kate Hudson as 2010's icon of what is now coined as athleisure in this blog post! Check out Fabletics , the brand she co-founded and that offers a range of incredibly functional AND stylish gym wear for all types of work outs or to wear on a daily basis--they are so comfy.  Here is Kate rocking her pick of Fabletics outfits.  Below, two of her favorites: On the left the Riviera outfit the Taylor Tank II and the Salar Capri in black. And on the right, the Bermuda Tunes outfit with the SoleTank and Salar Crop in black. The neatest thing about Fabletics is their variety of prints on incredibly comfy designs. You know how sometimes you find a pair of pants or a bra that fits so wonderfully you want to order the same model in every color you like? Well with Fabletics the choices in prints...

Summer or winter, we always rock hats! Here is a selection of funky print hats form High Rise, Dirty Razkal, Love is Earth and People's Republic of Clothing. I chose two hats from The High Rise Co . Check out the OG Red Bar 5 Panel Camper (ouch, long name for a hat!). We love the floral detail and the leather pull back strap, which you can't see in this pic unfortunately. Up next from The High Rise Co... more flowers! Lovely! The Leather Bar Floral Camper. We love: the floral print! Both models selected for your eyes only feature an embroidered Patch and the leather pull back strap. Oh and you get free stickers with your hat! We like. Now... Dirty Razkal ! Such a fun brand! I love what they did here with this model for Little Razkals: the Polka Propeller FlipPeak hat in Peach or Navy. We love: like everything! The pocodots, the oh So Dirty Flip Peak brim, and obviously... the Propeller blades so old school, love it. Up next, Love Is Earth . It was hard to choose ...
