Living our ballerina dreams in the Juliet Wrap Skort

Living our ballerina dreams in the Juliet Wrap Skort Hey guys! The vision behind the Juliet Wrap Skort was a ballet skort for the girlies who didn’t grow up to be ballerinas… but still want to feel that one. I know I’m not the only one! I kind of have an obsession with ballet. It’s just so incredible to watch how STRONG ballerinas are, while also moving with such grace. I wanted this skort to move effortlessly so you can feel like a ballerina when you wear it. I designed the Juliet with layers of stretchy fabric, built-in anti-cameltoe shorts with pockets, and a big bow that is also adjustable! The way this skort wraps, ties, and flows is perfection. LET ME SHOW YOU. Let’s try on the Juliet Wrap Skort! Our Try-On Crew, a group of women sizes XXS to 3X, is putting this beauty to the test! As usual, everyone looks STUNNING! See for yourself!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by POPFLEX (@popflex_active) SHOP JULIET WRAP SKORT The reviews are in! Every single Try-On Crew member looks exactly how I dreamed when I designed this skort, but how do they FEEL about it? Here are their honest reviews. Watching this crew try on new designs and reading their feedback has become one of my favorite things about the design process. Kate, Try-On Crew Measurements: Size: S Height: 5′ 10″ Bust: 34.5″ Waist: 30″ Hips: 38.5″ Kate’s review! “Definitely bringing the coquette and ballet vibes. Also love the fact that you can tie it in different ways.” Yesss we love a bow and adjustability! Also, you are SERVING in this. Ariel, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: L Height: 5′ 8″ Waist: 33.5″ Hips: 42.5″ Bust: 41″ From Ariel! “I love this skort! It’s so pretty and whimsical. It brings out my inner ballerina that I used to be when I was younger. I feel graceful when I move, and it makes me want to stand tall and erect. The material is light and makes for the perfect twirl factor. And of course there are pockets!!” Yesss this was exactly the dream! To bring out our inner ballerina . Love this on you!   Alexis, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: XL Height: 5′ 3″ Bust: 41″ Waist: 38.5″ Hips: 45″ Alexis says, “This ballet skort has so much movement and makes me feel like a fairy! You can tie it in any way you want, whether that’s in a simple knot or a cute bow. I will definitely wear this when taking my dance classes as it’s perfect for that!”  Ahh I can’t wait for you to wear this to dance classes!! YESSS fairy vibes!   SHOP JULIET WRAP SKORT Wanna see more try-ons?? Your feedback means so much to me! Let me know what questions you have in the comments! The reviews are IN.

A Tiny, Adorable Version of Our Favorite Tote

A Tiny, Adorable Version of Our Favorite Tote Hey guys! Tote bag, but make it teeny tiny itsy bitsy bc I LOVE super small things! (But also, it is true that I LOVE REALLY REALLY BIG things. Basically, I like things that aren’t the size they should be if that makes any sense.) Introducing the POPFLEX Baby Sloane Tote!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)   SHOP BABY SLOANE TOTE It’s a shrunken version of the Sloane Tote (the ultimate work and airport tote) that has sold out multiple times. I made this baby version because I needed a purse. I don’t really like purses bc they are fussy to me, but I felt like if I could make one that would work with casual outfits and be versatile enough to be dressed up, then I’d have a winner.

My current slow girl era full body routine

My current slow girl era full body routine Hey guys! I’m finally getting back into a groove with my workouts, so I wanted to tell you what I’ve been doing! Honestly, it’s nothing crazy because I’m leaning into my slow girl era, just focusing on what feels good. Life has been at an all-time level of crazy lately with no sign of stopping (working on finding some balance though). I needed to find space for fitness but dreaded the idea of pushing hard in the gym while also running full-sprint in my life outside the gym. I ended the year doing slow cardio on my treadmill (LOVE), so I thought I’d bring that same energy to the gym. Slowing down is bringing me joy I’m not killing myself with every workout. Instead, I’m learning to be proud of myself for just moving. And guess what? It’s bringing me A LOT more joy. This routine is a mix of weight lifting with some Pilates. I’m using weights, but nothing super heavy and I’m going slow. My slow girl era full body routine: Turn on your favorite music and give it a try! 1. Weighted squats x 15 2. Tricep pulldown x 15 3. Double leg lifts x 15 4. Shoulder Presses x 15 5. Crunches x 15   Repeat 3 times and you’re done! If you’re looking for more… If you’re not in your slow girl era right now, that’s ok too! I have a TON of workout calendars and challenges to help you push yourself to the level you desire!   P.S. You can shop my outfit and mat at POPFLEX! Hey guys! I’m finally getting back into a groove with my workouts, so I wanted to tell you what I’ve been doing!

Trying one Seamless set on 9 different bodies.

Trying one Seamless set on 9 different bodies. Hey guys! I FINALLY launched our first-ever Seamless collection after over 3 years of designing, problem-solving, and perfecting. 3 YEARS! The magic lies in the construction. “Seamless” refers to the way the fabric is made. It’s unlike anything we’ve created at POPFLEX before, which is exciting but was def a learning curve. Basically, a technique called circular knitting construction allows the fibers and “fabric” to contour the body, kinda like a second skin! We used this to achieve a super stretchy, sculpt-y fit. There ARE, in fact, a few seams. For example, the heart-shaped booty seam shapes the booty and prevents unibutt. So now that you have a little insight about what makes Seamless to special, let’s see how it fits! One bra. One legging. 9 different bodies. Remember how I said Seamless fabric is super stretchy and sculpt-y? Check out how it forms like a second skin on 9 women with all different body types. Everyone looks SO stunning, wearing the What’s the Scoop Seamless Bra and Crisscross Hourglass® Seamless Legging!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by POPFLEX (@popflex_active) SHOP SEAMLESS The reviews are in! You saw how it fits, but how does it FEEL?! Here are some reviews from our Try-On Crew. Watching them try on new designs and reading their feedback has become one of my favorite things about the design process. Ariel, Try-On Crew Measurements: Size: Midflex Usual Size: L Height: 5′ 8″ Bust: 41″ Waist: 33.5″ Hips: 42.5″ Ariel says, “I love this outfit – PERIOD! The ribbed top adds a texture to the outfit. The front is fun and flirty, and the back is sexy. This top is so cute and flattering. The girls are securely in there which is great for yoga at the gym.” Ariel, you look STUNNING! Love that you feel nice and secure, too. Anna, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: Extra Smallflex Usual Size: XS Height: 5′ 5″ Waist: 26″ Hips: 36″ Bust: 31.5″ From Anna! “This bra is so cute!! I love the style of the scoop neck and the straps are adjustable! The color is stunning and I feel completely secure! By itself, the bra is a winner but when paired with the matching leggings the look is a show-stopper. I love it!” Omg Anna, YOU are a show-stopper. Evelyn, Try-On Crew Measurements:  Size: Extra Curveflex Usual Size: 2X Height: 5′ 6″ Bust: 48.5″ Waist: 41.5″ Hips: 53″ Evelyn’s review! “I usually don’t choose halter tops for myself but this one makes me feel so feminine AND strong??? The straps don’t dig into my shoulders and it’s still supportive which is essential. I want MORE!”    SHOP SEAMLESS Wanna see more Seamless try-ons?? Your feedback means so much to me! Remember that Seamless sizing is a little different than other POPFLEX collections. Be sure to check the size chart while you shop and ask me any questions you have in the comments!

Feeling Like a 1950s Debutante Barbie

Feeling Like a 1950s Debutante Barbie Hey guys! I really felt like a 1950s Debutante Barbie last night at the Asian American Awards Unforgettable Gala with my big tulle skirt and tall white gloves! First time ever wearing a petticoat and wow WAS IT HEAVY. Also, I always kinda wanted to know what a dress that couldn’t fit into a car looked like and well, now I know. Oh but you know what I don’t know? How do you pee? No seriously though! How did the European ladies, princesses and queens do it back in the day…because I held it in all night. There is NO WAY I was gonna let that tulle touch the floor of a public restroom! Plus how, like HOW does one even navigate the nether regions without sight!?     View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) Oh, and best compliment of the night: “Did you get a boob job?” Hahaha no but chicken cutlets, a corset top, and a little weight gain will do it After the gala I went right back into work mode, setting up the new office for our first shoot there/last shoot of 2023! Definitely had to go for a Homegoods run because I was feeling like we needed more rugs! Here’s a lil’ sneak peak of the new place! Do you love the neon sign?! Okay back to work. TTYL! Hey guys!
