Memorial Day is just around the corner and there’s not much time left to get your summer beach body ready. Luckily, we caught up with the stunning Katie Cassidy at the CW Upfronts Red Carpet event and she gave us the 411 on what it really takes to get in tip-top shape for the summer. From her workout regimen to her daily diet—here’s what the Arrow actress had to say.

“Workout wise, I always think it’s good to keep your body guessing,” Cassidy told InStyle. You won’t catch the 28-year-old doing the same routine over and over. She’s constantly mixing things up explaining, “I do spin—love it. I do yoga—love it. And I’m also into old-school weightlifting.” Cassidy skips the little 5 and 10 pound dumbbells and instead reaches for heavier weights. She added, “At my peak, I want to say I was lifting about 25 pounds for bicep curls.” She might have a small frame, but the star reminds us that she has to stay strong for her role on Arrow. She confessed,”I’m also in training for the show, so playing a superhero requires big muscles.”

Cassidy naturally complements her intense workouts with a balanced diet. “It’s a lot of protein, vegetables, greens and skipping the red meat. I’ve been like that for a very long time; it’s just a personal preference,” she says

Although Cassidy prefers to change up her workouts, she keeps her first meal of the day consistent saying, “I always do the same breakfast: smoked salmon, poached eggs, avocado, multi-grain toast, grapefruit juice, and coffee.” For lunch she says, “I try to do greens again, but then I’ll try to put some sort of protein on there.” And her dinner depends on the mood she’s in. “I do a lot of brown rice, pasta, or chicken, and then some sort of vegetable.”

As for her go-to snacks, “I love almonds and fruit. They’re both super good for you so, I’m always snacking on one or the other.”

Exercise and healthy eating aren’t Cassidy’s only concern for getting ready for the summer. She revealed to InStyle,”It’s important for me to also live a happy, healthy, and full life. Your energy, mind, and body totally connect.”

When we hear the word matching, thoughts race back to a time filled with printed Keds and coordinating belts. A time when wearing a caramel-colored handbag with shoes of another hue was considered a faux pas of the highest order. But times change.

For the last decade, in order to achieve any sense of sartorial balance it seemed obvious that leathers needed to clash and patterns were worth nothing if not mixed. The idea of matching had been filed away with blue eyeshadow and our NKOTB posters, never to be seen again. Or so we thought.

But seeing as how last month we donned neon to watch a bunch of 40 year old men dance around to 80’s tunes andRochas re-imagined the value of blue above your baby blues, we shouldn’t be surprised that buying matching separates has a sudden novelty. Like the return of neon in 2011, the spread of coordinated vestments has gained such traction that a time when we would buy a top even though the corresponding shorts weren’t available in our size seems like a bad dream. A bad dream full of sloppy trousseau and overloaded senses.

The evolution of our thinking is helped by the introduction of separates that scream Taylor Swift rather than mother of the bride. Think crop tops and identical printed pencil skirts, boxed t’s and matching shorts. Getting dressed has never been so simple.

On the other end of the wardrobe, however, through even the most harmonized attire, we can’t help but wonder how long this fascination with matching will last. Fashion is fickle, so only time will tell. But until our love affair fades and the modernity of matching is laughable, we are gonna ride the sea of simplicity full sails ahead.

StyleR: Katie, what kind of ‘Trendsetter’ would you categorize yourself as?
Katie: A Passionate Trendsetter.

Let’s talk about style when it comes to the characters you play on screen:
I think I’m very different in my every day/personal life than on screen (as far as style). Obviously, every character has a different type of style, a different look. It’s really important to me when creating a character, to have the right wardrobe and costume. It’s a part of my process. I’m very specific about that.

What about your style in everyday life:
I like having the attitude of not really caring what other people think and trying not to overthink and just being confident with what I’m wearing. Sometimes it’s terrible (laughs), we all make mistakes, but I like to look and feel effortless. But, if I think too much, that’s when I feel like I am having one of those bad days. For the most part, I like to mix something casual with something nice (example: ripped jeans with a blazer). It’s about what I’m feeling in the moment.

The city that never sleeps… Literally.

I don’t know if it’s the non stop chaos, the traffic, or the smell of the subway lines creeping up through the gutters, but New York City is my city. It has always felt like home to me.

So whether I’m there for the Upfronts, a press junket, or a fashion panel, I always make the most of it. I fill every hour with good food, friends and some of the best shopping in the world.

My trip to New York last week was a whirlwind of interviews and meetings. I was rushing from one place to another, but of course, I had 25 minutes to squeeze in a quick photo shoot for #TKC which I used to snap a photo for my own Instagram. Anything for a photo.

It’s no secret that if our house went up in flames the first thing we would grab would be our stack of blue jeans (assuming, as it were, that we weren’t already pulling a Joey Tribbiani and wearing all of them).

While we have come to appreciate the unyielding power of statement pieces and we’re always happy to try a new trend, let’s face it – denim is comfortable and effortless in a way that our lives are not (which is really all it comes down to when the time comes to get dressed in the morning).

It’s just so easy.  No matter what the season or its trends, denim makes the perfect companion.

But when is enough enough?

Recently, the apropos topic around here has been denim and just how much of it we actually wear. Despite owning an ungodly volume of jeans, we still find ourselves scouring the webpages of our favorite e-tailers looking for more. Our favorite past time is perusing the Net-A-Porter ‘Denim’ tab (hello, have you seen this feather-trimmed denim jacket?!). Hell, we can’t even stop talking about it (try to count on one hand how many articles we have written about denim here – don’t forget this one! Seriously, try.).

It’s just too easy to just throw on a pair of jeans in the morning, so we do. Does that make us lazy? Uninspired? Drones?

After several such conversations and a probing comment from a sister after a recent set of photoshoots (“Are all of your looks really based around denim?”), we committed ourselves to stepping outside the box, evolving our wardrobe and bringing the drama this season.

And then we found a pair of distressed jeans with chevrons down the back and fell right back down the rabbit hole…
