R.I.P. Rhinestone Lettered Baby Tees

Written by Marisa

You have been replaced. That was so 2000 and never and this is so 2000 and now. BeBe Sport has overhauled their brand with a new style concept. PH8 pronounced “fate” is their new mama who’s bringin’ the –ay to chill sex-ay fashion. Their brand stands for “Life in balance. Life in style.” It’s a nice mash-up of gym and post-gym pieces that you could easily wear to da club or to da couch. Chillin’ gear that doubles as bar gear, now that’s something I can vibe with. After checking out the look book on their site and hearing about the celebs that are copping the gear (Giuliana Rancic and Kim Kardashian), I was pretty excited about the hotness that this combination of chill/sexy/gym could bring.

Last Saturday I was LIVE tweetin’/twit pic’n from the Water Tower PH8 store in downtown Chicago for the PH8 Party. The DJ was boomin’ and the store was looking colorful and sassy. My rad friend became my default assistant (sorry AG!) and we took to the racks to find some hot combos. I grabbed a ton of shiny gear, various leggings (if it can’t be painted on, I don’t want it. I’ve temporarily retired my jeans) and some jackets. Time to hit the dressing room with my 20 items, once again sorry AG! While I tried on my PH8-ness, AG held my things and snapped my Zoolander-esque poses.  I was tweetin’, twit pic’n and shoppin’ LIVE. It was fantastic.

Some items I loved that you might likey too – the faux leather coat (that feels and looks like leather not some cheap F21 shiz) with heather grey lining is so Gwen Stefani I had to snag it. Picture 9

The shiny grey long sleeve was too slimming and sex-ay to pass up:  Picture 2

The black leggings with a grey swervy pattern along the side was uber comfy and apparently a celeb fav, yup, I’ll take that too. And the hottest item in the store—the black nylon jacket, which also comes in fluorescent blue, pink and yellow. This jacket will be the hotness for the spring for pre- and post-gym as well as the dance floor.

After I left I was feeling like Jay Z walking down the street with my PH8 bag with hot pink elastic handles…”Now can you bounce with me, bounce with me?” That thing was grooving to the beat as I walked down the street. Thanks for the bumpin’ bag PH8—no details have been spared!

Maybe your post gym clothes (you know, like on the walk home from the gym to your place) needs some more bounce in their ounce, or your sit-on-the-couch-and-make-out-movie-night clothes need some shine with a hint of sex-ay, then PH8 has got what you need. I’m a chill clothes kind of girl, so whatever it is they’re fusing in their fashion, it’s working for me. Here’s my take on the concept in 3 words – affordable chill hotness.

Find a PH8 near you and check them out on Twitter and Facebook.
