What is Calaka Wear?
Calaka Wear is a new online clothing store recently established this year (2015). Below is a quote taken directly from their website:
"Our Mission is to be a street wear brand representing the indigenous culture of North America that can help inspire the people & create meaningful designs that we connect with. Our aesthetic is modern but our inspiration goes back to our cultural symbols & teachings. We want to create, inspire, educate & give back - and to achieve this we will invest from our circles outward, take advantage of todays technology to share information, collaborate with other great Indigenous Brands + Organizations, and lastly, open a path for others to dream big & create."
Although it is not a subscription box, i decided to include it in my review since I loved the quality of their products so much. Not to mention, I can personally relate to the culture that this clothing line represents.
Fabletics/Calaka Review - November 2015

As well, I took advantage of the Black Friday sales to get two Kemi Bras ($29.95/VIP $19.99) and the Miramar shorts in black ($29.95/VIP $19.99). I had bought an outfit earlier in the year that had the Miramar shorts in emerald/cucumber and loved it so much. They are super soft and perfect for working out indoors or during the summer time. I got the Kemi bra in cobalt/white stripe and purple iris/white stripe. With Black Friday sales, I saved an additional $31.91.

I also took advantage of Black Friday and got myself a new pair of joggers to wear over my new Miramar shorts. The Xomulzen Jogger ($38) from Calaka Wear fit my needs perfectly! These pants are fleece lined and very high quality. I would expect a jogger of this quality to cost anywhere from $50-$70 from other places like Victoria's Secret or Gap. While I was at it, I got the Calaka Snapback in Gray/Black - it just was calling my name.

Verdict
Once again, sizing with Fabletics was spot on. I'm an M (size 8-10) and size 8 was a perfect fit. The price on this outfit was a steal (thank you Black Friday sales!). The entire Shawnee Peak outfit ended up costing as much as the sweater would have. Not to mention the leggings really are high quality, dark black, and not see through. Like all other sports bras I've gotten from Fabletics in the past, these sport bras are not supportive and would likely be best for yoga or walking. However, they are super cute and may be better suited for smaller chested women. I've recently taken an interest in doing yoga, so they fit my needs. In total, I only spent $98.86 with Black Friday sales for about $150 worth of merchandise.
With the gear from Calaka Wear, I was very pleased with the jogger and cap. As I mentioned before, these joggers are a steal at $38. They are extremely high quality and would easily cost $70 at Victoria's Secret. The clothes at this shop is unisex and I have already bought some other gear to gift to others. I also have my eye on the very cute beanie with Calaka logo.
