Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie, wearing Adidas Classic Runners

Spring is here and it's time to invest in a new spring wardrobe! But while you're looking for pretty sun dresses, sandals, polo shirts and shorts, take some time to look for items for your fitness wardrobe as well. After all, summer will be here in no time and you'll want your body to look its best! Adidas has a wide range of styles available to you here at Shop N Chill. Here are some of my favorites:

Fleece Hooded Track Top

Largely inspired by hip hop group, Run DMC, this retro inspired jacket is great for casual or athletic wear. This signature jacket is fleece lined and incorporates Adidas' classic contrasting three stripes on the sleeves and the Adidas logo on the chest. This is a great jacket to wear during those chilly morning jogs and comes with a hood in case it were to rain. You can pair this jacket with Adidas Super Girl Track Pants to complete the retro look.

Tennis Performance Dress

This particularly cute dress doubles as a summer dress as well as a tennis dress. The light blue feathers backed by a white background provide the perfect summer feel and can be worn with white flip flops or tennis shoes such as Adidas CLIMACOOL Feather adilibria. Wearing this dress will ensure that all eyes are on you instead of the tennis ball!

adiZero XT Trail Shoes

This shoe is for all the runners out there! Lightweight and stylish these shoes come with a rubber sole for great traction and nonslip lining for comfort and performance. The shoes look great when worn with Basic Dazzle Shorts and AdiFit Short Sleeve Top.

I miss the days when men wore finely tailored suits, A-line dresses were the norm and a true lady would never leave the house without her gloves and cap. If your sense of style is more classic and sophisticated, take a look at UK based clothing and accessories brand Brooks Brothers. The brand is well known for supplying clothing to celebrities, royal families as well as political leaders and has been famously shown on television characters such as Don Draper from HBO's hit Mad Men and Chuck Bass from teen drama Gossip Girl. If you'd like to exude that certain, "je ne sais quoi" and relive the days of 50s-60s fashion, take a look at the selections I've made below:

Literature

If you ever forget how to act like a gentlemen be sure to pick up How to be a Gentlemen a great book that provides advice on how a man should act in all of life's situations. The female equivalent, How to Raise a Lady is also available.

Short Sleeve Cotton Silk Wrap Dress

A great A-line skirt that lies just above the knee. The wrap around the waist accentuates curves and gives the illusion of a smaller waist. The V-neck cut elongates the neck and makes the torso look slimmer and its short sleeves conceals those with heavier arms. Overall, a good choice for those who want to reveal a bit of skin but remain conservative at the same time.

Solid Satin Luxury Tie

This turquoise tie is a good complement for gray or black suits and provides the perfect pop of color without being obnoxious. Instead of pairing it with a white shirt (too boring) try pairing the tie with a black or pale yellow to really bring out a contrast of colors

Portrait Floral Silk Scarf

Scarves have been the rage this season! If you'd like to sway from the traditional pashmina scarves that EVERYONE has been wearing, try silk scarves. Brooks Brothers scarves are a great alternative to Hermes scarves and can be tied a multitude of ways around your neck, your waist or even around your handbag. I chose the Portrait Floral Scarf for its strong contrasting maroon border and floral angel design which provides the perfect touch of femininity to any outfit. My suggested outfit choice is a white button-up dress shirt, black cardigan, black knee-length pencil skirt and marron pumps with the scarf tied around your neck.

The mere utterance of the word "Crocs" often conjures looks of disgust from fashionistas everywhere with such looks often being retaliated with the justification that they are comfortable. To many women the words "stylish" and "comfortable" simply cannot co-exist. Maybe these women haven't seen Crocs new additions to their product line.

Crocs Beige Snake Crema Shoes

Crocs with a heel? Who would've known! And they're not ugly either! This 3.5 inch neutral colored shoe has a beige snake skin with genuine leather lining. The shoe also has an adjustable strap and a shock absorbent footbed for maximum comfort. These shoes look best with dark skinny jeans paired with a plaid shirt, a look that has been popularized by The City's Lauren Conrad. To emulate this style, I've chosen 80s Purple's Acrylick Flannel Shirt, along with Uniqlo's 3D Fit Tapered Skinny Jeans. To complete the look I've added Esprit's Cross-body leather bag and Esprit's Jive Silver Watch to give the outfit a bit of pop. Great outfit choice for casual dates or hanging out with friends at a local coffee shop.

Here are a few other Crocs styles that I recommend:

Crocs Black / Black Lydia Winter Shoes

Great for the office!

Crocs Black / Black Mccall Winter Shoes

Great substitute for your basic ballet flat, you can wear the shoes during the spring or winter and can be worn with a variety of outfits.
