we’re back

we’re back

Surprised to see us?  We took a year vacation!  Just kidding.  Life gets busy.  People have babies and start a handmade gift ETSY shop (Mandi!), people design kids clothes for the cutest online shop (Jenn!)…. So, as you can see we have had a lot going on.   But, we still get around 1,000 visits a day to our blog and some of you have expressed missing us….so we are back!   We are going to be realistic here and not promise posts every week….but we promise to not go MIA for a whole year again.  We have missed our Sunny Slide Up friends!

 

To celebrate being back on the blog and our 3rd birthday, we will be hosting a special giveaway.  More details to come later this week!

 

We have made some updates to our “Meet The Crew” page – take a look.  And to recap, we thought it would be fun to take a look at our most visited blog posts since we started about three years ago….

We hope you have had a chance to enter our Borelli Design Giveaway.   Before we announce the winner, let us tell you a little more about the awesomeness of Marissa Borelli and her company Borelli Designs.

Logo_MarissaBorelliDesign

Marissa Borelli’s fascination with combining fashion and athletics led her to work for companies such as lululemon athletica, Ralph Lauren, Swiss Army Victorinox, K-Active by Kerri Walsh and Green Apple Active. In 2011, she founded her own line of activewear, BORELLI Design.

Borelli Design debuted in 2011 with a high-performance, multi-use wrap that keeps active people warm, dry and looking stylish all day long. Enthusiastic customers soon asked for more Borelli styles for their everyday wardrobe. So they launched a second product — the Borelli Wrap Dress — in early 2012. It’s the perfect choice for everything from traveling or daycare pick-ups to date night with heels. Most recently, inspired by Marissa’s far-flung travels to India, St Barth and Vietnam, Borelli Design has introduced a second line — Drift — as a complement to the drirelease™ products. Now you can choose the one that best fits your life and sense of style.

Borelli Design Products

Borelli Design’s mission is to help active people rock it. They believe fashion and fitness are better together. They design products to help busy, fit people look their best while getting their glow on.

When she’s not helping clients build healthy brands, Marissa competes in half marathons and triathlons. She also loves to travel, bake for neighbors, and practice yoga. With an aesthetic that could be described as global, energetic and modern, Marissa brings a fresh and innovative approach to the active lifestyle market.   More recently, Marissa became a mom to two adorable little boys!
