“I look BAD in baggy jackets”
The amount of times I’ve heard: “I’m so SICK of dropped shoulders!”
“I hate batwing!”
“Stop it with the baggy!!!”
Like I hear you and I’ve been wErKiNg oN iT.
Today I’m happy to present to you a new fitted, ultra snatching silhouette in the…

I am obsessed with the way this jacket hugs my body but not like in an uncomfy way because it’s super soft and stretchy. The raglan sleeves and princess seams elevate the look and just wait until you see what other features I’ve added:
Zippered pockets Thumbholes Built-in convertible mittens Watch openings Removable hood
Hope it satisfies what you’re been looking for!
I sized down to an XS for a super snatched look but if you still wanna wear long sleeves under this then you can get your regular size.

My wide sweat pant theory…
In my opinion… it’s no coincidence that we’ve shifted to wide leg pants during a time of rebellion. Watch the vid to see how history repeats itself!

The 2025 POPFLEX team retreat is in the books
This year, Sam and I flew our team into Austin, TX for a week long western themed retreat at Camp Lucy!The goal? Step away from work, relax, bond, and have fun. Everyone works so hard all year long so we do this trip annually to bring the team together to celebrate our achievements and simply, to enjoy each other’s company. Also…I want to say that the fact that we actually DO enjoy each other’s company is something I will always try to protect.

Sorry about the first windbreaker…
Honestly no idea why I didn’t add any pockets the first time, but this one has enough to redeem myself for years to come.

Pockets galore – Inside and out, 2 with zippers, one on the arm. Wind and water resistant fabric Blousy sleeves Elastic cuff so the sleeves don’t fall onto your hands Lined hood with toggles to go into egg head mode on windy days 
Hidden back zipper that fits the entire jacket for easy packing.

How history inspired my new bomber jacket
Wanna know why the bomber jacket is called a “bomber jacket”?
Turns out the reason dates alllllll the way back to the when flight jackets were first invented to keep pilots warm during WWI and WWII air missions. Crazy thing is…bomber jackets aren’t the only military fashion item that’s crossed over into mainstream fashion. But I’ll tell you more about that later.
The POPFLEX Cloud Bomber JacketView this post on Instagram
A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)
When these jackets became popular post-war, one reason they were iconic was the way women wore them to bend gender norms. But that doesn’t mean we can’t design one meant to FIT a woman’s body.
For the POPFLEX Cloud Bomber Jacket, I took inspo from the 1940s version of the bomber jacket and kept the ribbed cuffs on the sleeves but added thumbholes. I also added a dropped shoulder and blousey romantic sleeves, and a cute lil little back pleat.
BUT THIS THE BEST PART.
I used the same fabric that we use for our viral Cloud Hoodies to make it super plush and soft. The jacket still has the structure of the OG bombers, but it’s also cozy!
I’m wearing s/m and I’m 5’5”. This comes in xxs/xs to 3x/4x and in 5 different colors!
Hope you enjoyed today’s history lesson!

My butt has never looked this good
I can’t stop staring bc it’s never looked THIS GOOD.
I’ve lived my whole life with a “flat” butt and even when I was squatting HUNDREDS of pounds in my heavy lifting / bikini fitness competition phase, all I ever achieved was a little teeny smidgen of a lift. But no volume. Body shape is heavily influenced by genetics…but you know what can also influence a lil shapeage? The clothes you wear.
I’m excited to share that in granting a very specific request we not only developed a volleyball short, we also ended up making the bootiest short of all our booty shorts!!!
This is the POPFLEX Contour Booty Short
Booty accentuating back seam V cut waistband Pinch-free waistband Super stretchy, anti-pet hair fabric Anti-cameltoe Pockets

We Are SO Back (for Fall at Trader Joe’s)
There are few things I’ll happy endure 45 minutes of road construction traffic for. Fall at Trader Joe’s is one of those things! The big drop happened earlier this month, and I finally made the trip to get all of my faves and to check out the new goodies.
Can I be totally honest? I didn’t research what was returning or new items before I went this year. I felt confident that I would see a few old friends back on the shelves, manifested the return of a few I wasn’t sure about, and decided to let the rest be an adventure!
Let’s dive in.
[image error]Returning favesI grabbed my red cart (plus a mini one for my four year-old) and we made a beeline to the salad, where I was greeted with disappointment because my store did not have the Brussels Sprouts Sauté Kit. It’s on the website though, so I think it’s coming! Check your store and lmk.
Next, we filled our carts with year-round staples like mini avocados, pizza dough, and brown sugar oat creamer, plus the returning fall items we’ve been waiting all year for. We snagged Butternut Squash Mac n’ Cheese, Spicy Mini Pumpkin Samosas, Creamy Pumpkin Bisque, Pumpkin Butter, Pumpkin Cream Cheese, and Apple Chicken Sausage.
And that’s where I stopped myself. I had to save room for…
New fall goodies!Images: Trader Joe’s
Salted Maple Cold Foam
I know it’s pretty easy to make cold foam at home, but in the name of the holiday that is Fall at Trader Joe’s, I had to try this one. I liked the flavor and it was perfectly creamy. The TJ’s employee let me know that the vanilla flavor is great too!
Maple Leaf Ice Cream Sandwiches
These are exactly what I expected – yummy, sweet, and full of fall flavor. You only get 4 in a box, but they’re a good size.
Cherry Pistachio Pecan Granola
Trader Joe’s never misses when it comes to granola. This new fall flavor is made with oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, olive oil, dried cherries, pumpkin seeds, coconut, pistachios, pecans, and sea salt. YUM.
Crispy Garlic
Crispy. Garlic. This is going to seriously level up some Thanksgiving dishes this year. Imagine these crunchies atop green bean casserole!
Personally, I cannot wait to try this on a salad and over some roasted veggies.
New egg bites!
Who doesn’t love an easy, healthy breakfast?! This new flavor contains egg whites, cottage cheese, sweet potato, onion, celery, and butternut squash alongside savory herbs and seasonings. Each package has 12 grams of protein!
Vanilla Bean Sweet Potatoes
I usually prefer to sweeten my sweet potatoes myself but this makes a great ZERO effort side dish that honestly isn’t overly sweet like some sweet potato casseroles I’ve tried.
Loaded Mashed Potatoes
If you like your potatoes savory (and loaded), go for these. Again, these are about convenience so don’t come at me with “make your own,”okay? Nothing beats scratch-made mashed potatoes but these are great if you’re short on time, less than confident in your cooking skills, or just don’t have it in you to peel potatoes (totally get it).
Maple Brown Butter Almonds
These remind me of the hot candied nuts you smell at a fall festival… or Buc-ee’s (iykyk). They’re sweet, buttery, and perfectly crunchy. I’ll be snacking on these all fall.
Furikake Snack Mix
This isn’t a “fall item” but it still deserved a mention. This snack mix is bursting with savory and slightly sweet flavor. My only regret is not buying two bags.
[image error]
Sliced Apple Cinnamon Sourdough BreadThis is so yummy toasted with butter, but you should definitely use it to make a French toast casserole. Trust me.
Unexpected Cheddar Buffalo Blue Cheese Spread
Okay so I didn’t actually buy this because I don’t like Blue cheese! But I’m jealous of all of you who do because I bet you’ll love it! Trader Joe’s recommends eating it on a bagel, sandwich, or crackers. Let me know what you think!
Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake
If you’re going to treat yourself to one thing, make it this. Trader Joe’s mini are superior.
What should I try next?
What do I need to get on my next trip?

DO NOT Watch If You Have to Ask Me the Question
… you know the one. 
Ok now since I am in a safe space with my fellow romper types, I’m so excited to share with you the POPFLEX Go with the Flow Romper!
For the jumpsuit girlies…View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)
… or anyone willing to convert. Jumpsuit lovers are ALSO romper lovers so it’s my job to keep designing to fulfill all of your onesie needs! That means the Go With the Flow Romper has:
Super stretchy fabric Snatchability Flowy Bloat-friendly
Of course you’re getting pockets and the sleeves have thumbholes! Should I keep going? I’ll keep going. I added a shelf bra so if you don’t wanna wear a bra, don’t!
Guys it’s so comfy, snatchy, fun, and easy to wear! I love it so much. I am 5’5” wearing xs because I wanted shorter and snatchier but I’m normally a small. So size down if that’s your vibe.
HOPE U LOVE IT TOO.

The First Design I Couldn’t Test Myself
This is the first product I couldn’t personally test myself but I’m so happy with how it turned out. 
Thank you to all the pregnant fit models who tested this style with us over the past 2 years (including my own lil sis) to create the ultimate…
Foldover waistband!View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)
I’d say this was the trickiest part of the entire design. We asked several pregnant women what they prefer in a maternity waistband and got all kinds of answers. Some prefer something that totally covers the belly and some cannot stand that and need something that stays below the belly. So the challenge became: How do we create something that works for everyone?
We tried adjustable bra straps and a corset back and both were a hard no. And then, I remembered something from our past…
Foldover yoga pants.
Super comfy and adjustable. PERFECT inspo for a maternity pant! Pull the waistband up if you’re more comfy with your belly covered or fold them down if you prefer that fit. Change how you wear them as your body changes!
Ready to see the final maternity leggings?
STUNNING! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Congrats to our very own Kaylee who’s been modeling for POPFLEX since forEVER! I can’t believe we got to launch this our first ever maternity legging along with her real pregnancy announcement! The timing is insane!
