SENSE is delighted and honored to highlight the Spa at Travaasa as our Sense-ational Shop of the month!  We are truly inspired by Travaasa’s commitment to  living well and creating a successful business based on  principles and values that we’d like to share with the SENSE  community.  And just in case you didn’t know, the Spa at Travaasa has a sister property on the island of Maui.  Check out Travaasa Hana at http://www.travaasa.com.

You might ask…what does Travaasa mean?  Travaasa is derived from the word travel, combined with the Sanskrit word Pravaasa which means “memorable journey”.  Travaasa signifies the memorable journeys created through travel.

Maggie Wagner, Director of Spa Retail and Lonne Dickerson, Spa Manager at Travaasa  Austin have filled us in on some of the details about their property and what makes it so special.  The spa retail boutique offers Sense Clothing to their customers and we wanted to know more about their success with Sense and their beautiful spa and boutique resort.

The majority of our guests are fitness enthusiasts who are interested in health and wellness, eating well and experiencing classes, treatments and specialty activities that inspire and nurture.  Sense styles are the perfect fit for our customer as all styles can be used for fitness activities, casual day wear or evening attire.

Sense Clothing | The Tunic Pant Has Got You Covered!

With the big buzz going around about the “shortage” of yoga pants and the alleged “see-through” pant, we thought it was time to formally introduce our gem of a pant- the Sense Essential Tunic Pant.

Sense Essential Tunic Pant

Every apparel business has a foundation style – the “ONE” that started it all. That would be the Essential Tunic Pant from Sense. Even now in 2013 it continues to be our best selling pant. What is the allure, why does this pant do so well? Good question.

For starters when you put on a pair of Tunic Pants your entire look becomes clean, sleek and SLIM – yes this is the real hook – TUNIC PANTS MAKE YOU LOOK TEN POUNDS THINNER the minute you put them on!

This straight leg slack made of soft cotton modal provides comfort and elegance for any occasion!

Sure beats 4 weeks of cleansing, dieting, eating lettuce or whatever works! All of us at Sense are huge fans and followers of healthy living practices, eating well, exercise, & being active. Following a routine to keep our crazy world in moderation is great…but boy it sure is GREAT to slip on those Tunic Pants! Especially when you feel a little puffy or you have to sit on a plane flight for more than an hour. Or when you’re hitting the gym for a pilates or yoga class and just do not want to be bound in by your workout clothes! Plus the built in skirt/extra layer gives you full coverage to workout in confidence….no “see-through” going on with the Tunic Pant!

We love this pant so much we’ve made variations for every activity and style.

activetuniccapri-essentials

Active Tunic Capri- sporty and good for warmer classes and time of year.

sense-activetunicankle-S2902-black

Active Tunic Ankle- full coverage with the flexibility of a legging fit.

sense-palazzotunic-1903-blk

Palazzo Tunic Pant- fuller leg for a sophisticated look focused on movement.

So it is real simple – go to www.wearsense.com buy a pair of Tunic Pants, put those babies on and feel slim & fit- ready to go and never look back. Please give us a buzz at Sense -505.988.5534- if you would like to know the best size, style and fit for you – we are here to help you look and feel your best! No need to stress availability either because these items are apart of our Essentials Collection, which is timeless and stocked continuously!

Happy shoppin’ and booty covering!

Hannah Kearny: A Ski Season of Wins & Comfort in Sense

If you follow Sense on facebook (and please do!) then you’ve probably seen us hyping up Professional Skiier, Hannah Kearny. She’s not only an Olympic Gold Medalist, but she’s had quite the season this year and we’re MORE than excited for all her successes, plus her sharing her Sense love along the way!

Hannah had a set back early in the season that posted her up for several months.”Unfortunately, I took a spill during training on October 5th and had to spend 5 days in the hospital with a bruised liver, 2 fractured ribs and a small pneumothorax in my right lung. Once I was allowed to change out of my hospital gown, my teammates brought me some of my own clothing and my Sense wear was quite comfortable for my forced bed rest. Luckily, I was never in a lot of pain and I heal quickly.” –Hannah Kearny

And heal quickly she did! Hannah used her injury as a boost to take full advantage of her opportunity and fight for what she wanted- to win the World Cup. Read more details of Hannah’s journey to the yellow bib straight from Team USA here.

Hannah is one incredible athlete and woman! We’ve been honored to work with Hannah for years now and just adore that she shares her adventures across the world with Sense. She is the ultimate proof that Sense Clothing is made for activities, comfort, style, and travel- the everything clothing made to handle it all!

“After a 33 day trip that took me to Calgary, Utah, Colorado, Russia and Japan I returned home for four days. I did laundry, repacked my bags and now I am waiting for the bus to Boston to catch my flight to Norway for World Championships. I believe you will recognize the Sense pants, tank and shirt I am wearing. I am sure to be comfortable on this long travel day.” – Hannah Kearney

This past weekend Hannah took first place in Are, Sweden for women’s Dual Moguls and is now headed to Spain this weekend for finals. We cannot be more excited for her season and are rooting for her all the way to finals!

Thanks Hannah for being a Sense-ational Supporter and we look forward to seeing some pics from a restful off season- because you deserve it!

Sense-ational Supporter | Kellie Adkins

Introducing our beloved friend Kellie Adkins- the master mind behind Wisdom Method Wellness!

Kellie, tell us about yourself…

Kellie is a mommy, a writer, a yoga teacher, and a health coach doing what she does in a ridiculously small town in Central Florida {she’s the one wearing the leopard print leggings} If you happen to be in Florida’s Bible Belt look her up for some irreverent jokes, a cup of tea, or some deeply intuitive yoga. When she’s not writing or chasing her toddler or balancing on her hands, you’ll find her knitting sweaters she’ll be able to wear for exactly one day a year.

What makes Sense Clothing one of your essentials?

The ultimate wear-ability. I love that I can dress for teaching a yoga class, having lunch with a friend, chasing my toddler, and seeing a client…all in one outfit by Sense!

What’s the most special (Sense-ational) part of your day?

Afternoon tea time with my two-year-old daughter: Green tea for mommy, herbal for Veda. It’s a precious ritual.

Tea Time!

Tea Time!

Favorite Sense picks?

The Palazzo Tunic Pant. I have them in nearly every color because each time I wear them, I get loads of compliments. Besides that, they’re so comfortable it’s practically criminal. I also LOVE the double strap cami and frequently pair them together.

Check out this vid of Kellie showcasing some restorative yoga in one of our favorites- the Off the Shoulder Tunic!

buzzing about Arizona Muse – Sense Clothing

http://senseclothing.com/

A beautiful 17 year old walked into our Sense Clothing showroom in 2006 for a fitting. Her name was Zoe, but today everyone now knows her as Arizona Muse. What first struck me was her maturity and striking beauty. But how will she photograph? We had a photo shoot scheduled with Peter Ogilvie in Oct and Zoe was one of our models. I have to say Santa Fe doesn’t have a huge pool of models to call on, but we have been so lucky to come across some of the most beautiful and interesting women to model our clothing. Zoe is no exception. The very first shot on that day would be a photo that we still continue to use today. Arizona quickly became the face of Sense even before signing with Next. With each season to the next she started to show her comfort with being in front of the lens. It’s great to see someone grow and become successful so quickly. You can imagine how excited we were for her when we heard she had wrapped up a BEBE campaign. That same year she became pregnant and left New York and moved to Tucson AZ. Fast forward a quick year later and we would be working together again launching our Spring/Summer 2010 collection. We also got to meet the new man in her life (her son) Nikko, who by the way, was a perfect gentlemen at the photo shoot. Zoe had changed. Her long blonde hair was gone and was a more natural darker shade. More than anything I noticed how much more relaxed she seemed especially when Nikko was near. Within the year she was walking all the major runways.

I speak for all of us here at Sense that we are beyond blown away by how far she’s come and certainly how hard she’s worked. It’s no small task to be a mother, fashion icon and the most talked about model of the year.

ps. Zoe – We’re still counting on that Sense tattoo 😉
