ATHLETA has been ramping up its offerings of  performance wear---with smart, functioning separates that boast techy features AND lots of fashionable features-too- via great colors/patterns and fit. We think this company is just getting batter and better-and frankly-we could live 24/7 in their apparel. With a lifestyle to match. HA HA.

No it's not 'Hammer Time' again with these push up-or-/wear down harem style pants-a versatile item that a lot of the preview attendees really liked.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS:

off the beach -around town-BOHO long skirts-w/tank top made of stretchy/breathable fabric  can work-out in

The bAsics are comfy and wear well...
