What everyday rituals do you look forward to? For me, it’s the simple joy of a daily walk. During quarantine, I challenged myself to walk 10,000 to 12,000 steps per day and fell in love with it. The act of walking clears my mind, allows me to people watch, and fills me with fresh air and good vibes. Here are some snapshots from my daily strolls, in collaboration with Lululemon.

Whether walking in comfy or less comfy attire, the key is to feel good every step of the way. Lately, I’ve been opting for matching sets like this cropped sweatshirt and shorts combo in a lovely pale blue shade.

Walking has always been a part of my life in New York, but reaching a step count goal of 12,000 seemed daunting at first. Yet, after the initial adjustment period, I found myself craving those long walks. Just like my friend Gisela, who often says, “It’s like I have a walk inside me” when she wakes up. I resonated so much with that sentiment.

I aim to strike a balance between comfort and style during my walks. This lightweight trench is perfect for those brisk spring and fall days. One of my favorite routes takes me to the Brooklyn Promenade, offering breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, especially at sunset. The sight of people getting engaged and the charming brownstones along the way add to the allure of my daily walks.

A half zip sweatshirt is a wardrobe must-have for everyone! This white one has been my go-to for park outings with my boys or casual hangouts with friends. Versatile and comfortable, it pairs perfectly with jeans, leggings, or just about anything, making it ideal for long journeys as well.
