Ace of Spades Racerback

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.
