If you read my recent interview on Pumps & Iron, you might remember that I mention Ellie as one of my favorite workout wear brands. So, I think it is finally time that I formally introduce you to Ellie!
I’ve been meaning to write up this post for, well, months and months; but, obviously it isn’t happening until now, the end of July.
{enter quick story}
I was contacted at the beginning of the year to be an Ellie ambassador. As a gal who loves fitness fashion more so than regular clothing, I was interested in checking out this new line of activewear. I jumped on board without hesitation.
As of this week, I’ve ended my partnership as an Ellie ambassador. Although I will no longer have an affiliate link (disclosure: I earned a small amount of money), it only felt morally right to publish a post about Ellie on my blog, as I had intended to do as a brand ambassador. I received a couple of free outfits as a benefit of my role, and I feel responsible to disclose that, despite that I’ve chosen not to work with them in the future.
Ellie, which launched in February, got a rough start; there was a bit of fuss and ruffled feathers regarding Ellie’s intentions. I will honestly say that I, personally, never had any hiccups working with Ellie or any of its team members. If you haven’t heard about the brand, I encourage you to check out their website to see what they’re all about.
While I’m not continuing to be an ambassador – for no rhyme or reason – I am still in love with the products that I received and would recommend them to others. The four images on the right (below) are the items I was sent from their February and March collections. They are undoubtedly some of my most-used workout clothing — flattering, comfortable, and I especially appreciate the high quality look and feel. So, that’s my Ellie story in short.
The end. If you’d like to sample their style, see the giveaway below.

Little black capri, for sure. Plain, but versatile!
They are the best. They look and feel like Lululemon Wunder Unders :)
