Keep it up!

How's that new year resolution going? It's tough stuff, we know! Clearly you need some inspiration. And if you have fitness goals, this post might be all the motivation you need...

Going to the gym is tough.... finding the time, getting up the nerve, deciding what machine to hop on. But you know what we think helps? A great outfit to wear. Yes, that sounds a bit ridiculous. But it's actually not a crazy idea! It's been proven that a great set of gym clothes really does help!

And we're personally a huge fan of compression leggings. They are easy to throw on. They look great! And it's crazy just how many pairs you can start to hoard away... But you just need another pair! Like this pair by Sweaty Betty! Such a fun design. And easy to match with any solid colored work out top. Go ahead and click on that link. You kind of need these.

Okay, onto the next issue with working out. It's cold outside! Who wants to leave their warm bed in the morning to work out? Yeah, not fun at all. But you have goals, darn it!! So, it's time to bundle up and get out there. And you can do it in style. We adore this sweatshirt by H&M. That funnel neck! The thumb holes! And a great minimal style. A must!!

And let's face it. You can always use another sports bra. And this one is a little bit different. We love that sporty zipper up the middle. And the maroon color is great for winter. Just a great pick.

So, get out there! Be inspired and reach for your goals. We know you can do it!!

Burn baby burn

Brr!! It's cold out there. Snow, ice... a mess! Let this week's outfit warm you up!

Ah, yes. Much better. It's the Flamey Dress! You'll really sizzle in this little number! This is a great simple, basic dress with attitude.

We love the thinner, tank top style top on this dress. The neckline is great too. It's a real deep v-cut style goes right along with the fiery number.

And our favorite part of this dress? The flames down the sides. They go all the way from under the bust to bottom. And the customization options are great too! You can pick the color of the dress and the flames!

The colors are extremely vibrant! Try it it in a turquoise or hot pink!

A long winter's nap

Second day back... feeling sleepy? Yawn! We cannot wait to get back in to bed. Or at least get into something a little more comfortable... Here's some inspiration!

We're all about being comfy. And this pair looks just right. Nice and silky. A really classic look that won't go out of style. Perfect for the upcoming winter months. Yet cool enough on those warmer nights.

Anyone else get too warm when they sleep? Ah, so we're not alone! This pair should suit us just fine. They have that classic look... just shorter. And so soft too. You are getting sleepy, very very sleepy.

This pair is so loud, we're worried it might keep you awake! We're kidding of course. This pair is a great in-between. Long on the top and short on the bottom. And so fun! you certainly couldn't pull these off as your daytime look!

Merry and bright

It's our last post before Christmas! And you know what we recommend? Getting out there and enjoying the lights and decorations!! But you'll want to bundle up. Oh yes, it's time to get cozy! We think a infinity scarf is just the thing. It's going to be the finishing touch to that layered marshmallow-like look. They also make an excellent last minute gift!!

We like infinity scarves because well... they are easy. Putting them on is a snap! No need to wrap around or tie. Just put it over your head and you are set to head out the door. We have our eye on this one from Topshop. We're big fans of the heathered, fleck pattern. It's a great way to put a twist on a basic. Such a beautiful scarf! 

If you are going to be warm, why not look fabulous while doing it? That sounds like a win-win situation to us! Fur is fab in our book! Check out this fur infinity scarf by Ugg Australia. We think this will give you a really polished winter look. And the shearing will keep you toasty warm! 

And you can't go wrong with a big chunky scarf. This has to be our favorite winter look. Check out this one! The golden color and the braided look? So perfect! The best thing about an infinity scarf? You can pull it up around your ears and face. Bring on the arctic wind! We have our armor! 

All of here at the Latex Store want to say.... Happy holidays to you and yours!

Stuff those stockings!

And it's last minute shopping time... Yikes! Time to wrap it all up. Literally! But don't forget the stocking stuffers, folks. Check out these fun ideas!

Fun yet practical gifts are our favorite. It's like the best of both worlds! Take a look at this monogrammed key fob by Madewell. It's simple and classy. Just about anyone would be pleased by this little token.

Give the gift of warmth! Very, very necessary as we approach this cold winter weather. And these fold-up vests by Lily Pulitzer are just too fun! They are sure to delight someone in your life!

Or give the gift of simplicity! Like this wallet and phone case wristlet. So cute and practical! And this one by Punchcase is especially stylish! Best of all? They'll think of you every time they use it! What a great gift.







And there is still a little time yet for latex store stocking stuffers! Shiners, dressing aids and more! You can find it all on thelatexstore.com. But act quickly! Time is running out!

Give comfort

Still trying to buy for some people on your list? Yeah, us too. It's tough to do and with less than 20 days to go... Here, let's make it easy. Easy? Yes, very easy. Give the gift of comfort! We have collected three pj sets that are so good you'll want to keep them for yourself. And really there is no shame in that!

Well isn't that precious? This oversized nightshirt by Madewell is just too cute! We love that classic blue color.  And the dark blue trim and red inscription really bring in together. So comfy yet classy. Perfect for that quirky or classy person on your gift list! 

Mmmm. Doesn't this set look luxurious? This silky pj set by Journelle definitely piked our interest. We're so drawn to that blush nude color and black trim. And can you imagine how soft and silky these are? Ah! Must have! 

It's going to be a cold winter! Give the gift of warmth along with comfort. These flannel L.L Bean pajamas are just that! And they are pretty festive too. We just love this classic look. Just about anybody would love a pair of these.

Florals for winter

Winter is coming. Want to stray away from those winter neutrals? Or maybe you just want to mix something new in. We got the perfect thing! Floral! Yes. Floral in winter. Think we're crazy? Keep reading and you can be the judge!

A black dress can really serve you well any time of the year. Add a little something special and it's even better. We gave a tiny gasp when we saw this dress by Christopher Kane. Isn't it gorgeous? We love the scattered use of floral on this dress. And the colors really pop against the black of the dress. We think this is a great way to wear floral in the wintertime. Pair the floral print with a darker color. 

If it's pretty chilly where you are, pants are a must. Skirts and dresses might not be warm enough. Not to worry! Check out these floral pants! A little wild but pretty neat, right? And they are this great corduroy texture. That means warmth! Pair them with a solid color navy, cream or black blouse. You have the prefect lunch date outfit! 

Mix up your regular work wear. Add in a floral top to make you outfit really pop out! We like this one. The print is so interesting. It's not your typical floral pattern. And it will pair nicely with your own dress pants or skirt. Such a polished look! 

We hope we have inspired your winter wardrobe. Let us know what you think! 

Be bold!

Brrrr! It's really getting downright chilly out there. Time to pull old that boring winter coat. Or not!! Check out some of these fun yet fabulous fashion coats. Make the change!

Alright... shall we ease you into this? Check out this thing of beauty! This coat is by Pixie Market. Shaggy, black and white and beautiful! It may be black and white but we promise you won't fade into the background. It's almost like a fun take on Cruella de Vil! But it's all up to you.

Let's take this in a different direction. How about a biker's jacket? But this isn't your average motorcycle jacket. It's a little bit... furry. It's fabulous! Blue with a flash of orange. And the gold details are a great touch. It's a little wild but so much fun!

Alright... that's enough coats for now. What do you think? Are you ready to make a statement?

Time to get cozy

Ya'll... it's time to get cozy. Bundle up!! Let's all stay warm... and stylish this fall and winter. Check out some of our favorites!

Let's start up top. A hat is a must when it's cold outside. Keep that body heat in! Try this hat on for size. It's by Tory Burch and we think it's has a royal look to it! We love the bling and details. Yet basic enough to compliment any outfit!

Faux fur. It's a huge trend this winter. And we give it two thumbs up! It's classy and polished. And you can pull it off on a budget. Check out this scarf from H&M. Doesn't it look warm? We're ready to embrace this look. 

Now, lets keep our hands warm. Protect them from the fierce cold! And in style too. These gloves by Acne Studios are our pick! We love the long length and rich color. And that zipper! We adore it.  

There. We are all warm now, right? Perfect! 

Take a walk on the wild side

Looking to shake things up? Be a little naughty? Take a walk on the wild side. Right this way...

There's something empowering about wearing all black. Bad ass even. Instead of blending in, you stand out. That's certainly the case with this Alexander McQueen dress. The tight fit leaves little to the imagination. And the white, spine detail adds real edge. We got one thing to say. Do you want to be the dominatrix of the office?

Behave? No, that's boring. Show your bad side with your jewelry. You heard us right. Check out this handcuff cuff by Jennifer Fisher. What a beautiful piece. Add it subtly into your Friday night out outfit. It's sure to bring out your better, bad side. It's a good thing. We promise...

Why just one strap when you can have a dozen? Oh you know, just for good measure. We're a big fan of the straps and buckles. Especially on this pair of heels by Isabel Marant. The criss cross pattern of the straps is quite mesmerizing. It make take a little bit of work to get into these shoes. But it's oh so worth it.

Don't you have a kinkier side just screaming to be let out? It's okay to flash a little bit in your everyday look. It's certainly a high fashion look that's always in style. A little bit of leather never hurt nobody.

Stay ahead of fall and winter dry skin!

Dry, cold weather is upon us. Deny it all you like. But it's time to start taking preventative steps! Dry skin and hair is a huge pain! Take a few tips from us and stay moisturized all fall and winter long.

Cold mornings are the worst. Cold nights too... So, how about a warming facial cleanser? You heard that right! Boscia makes this detoxifying black charcoal cleanser. As it suds up, it warms. Kinda neat, right? And the charcoal draws out impurities and excess oils. And there's vitamin C too! Which is proven to brighten your skin tone.

Is your hair feeling a little dry too? A great moisturizing shampoo and conditioner will do wonders! Treat yourself with the creme de coco bumble and bumble duo. It's ultra hydrating for even super dry hair. And that coconut smell will transport you to a warmer place. Even if it is just in your head.

So give yourself a little TLC. Give your skin and hair the extra love it needs around this time of the year. You deserve it!!

Badass!!

Ya'll, it's that time again... coat shopping. Some of you will embrace it with open arms. While others shy away and ignore the fact that winter is coming. Now, we don't mean to be harsh. But we don't want you to be left out in the cold!

Here, how about this... let's just talk light jackets for now. Nothing too long or puffy. Just some of our favorite leather jackets, perfect for fall 2016!!

We all have that deep underlying desire to be one badass chick or dude. Walking tall and acting tough. Nobody dares to mess with you! Okay, so maybe not. But you can certainly dress the part! Take this classic by Moschino. A true thing of beauty. Sleek black leather and beautiful gold hardware. And that belt and buckle action around the waist? Very, very nice.

Do you like the appeal of a leather jacket but desire a more feminine touch? Say no more. This jacket by Barneys New York is what you want. Classic shape and black leather, oh course. But that floral embroidery!! Ah, the best of both worlds. Bad girl with a softer side.

Okay, maybe floral isn't your style. But you still want a less traditional style jacket. You have options, don't worry! May we suggest this bold piece by Off White? We are feeling those sleeves! Such a different look but we are all about it. We're also digging the silver hardware. Now that's a good look!!

Winter skincare

It's mid-week, in the middle of winter. Blah! You feeling a little run-down... and itchy? Yeah, we got that too. Your complexion is a little dull? That dry air is brutal! We all need a good refresh. Here are a few beauty products that will do the trick! Lets revive and refresh!
