Fit Review! Alala Everyday Hoodie!

Ever since I saw Agent Athletica's review of Alala's Everyday Hoodie, I decided to give it a try myself.  I admit, the price is kind of intimidating.  $145 for a hoodie?  What has this world come to?  I thought Lululemon's price increase last year from $108 to $118 was steep for the Scuba Hoodie.  At least when I lived in NYC I wouldn't get taxed on the Scuba since it was under $110.  But at $118 you get taxed on the whole thing.  Ouch!

Anyway, I decided to pull the trigger and give it a try since I signed up for Orchard Mile, they give you $25 off your first order.  Free shipping and returns is always a plus AND no tax!  I got it for $120 even which is about the same as a Scuba Hoodie.


For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and size 2 in Scuba Hoodie III.  For the Everyday Hoodie I'm wearing size XS.  The fit is slim but very comfortable.  It's on the thin side which is fine since Hotlanta is currently 90 degrees.  I haven't worn a Scuba in forever here.  This is great for inside air conditioning and if I'm going out at night.  If you're in the northeast like I used to, I would wear this in the mornings on my way to work.  Except this is kind of too nice to wear on the subway lol.


See how nice it fits?  Perfection!  I love the hoodie and the gold details at the end of the hoodie pull strings.  I don't know what they're really called?  The only thing I would nitpick about the hoodie is the zipper.  The zipper feels slightly on the cheap side.  The zipper is smooth but it feels just a bit too plastic when you run it up and down.


The sleeves felt a little tight initially, but after wearing it a bit, I didn't notice it anymore.  I love the thumb holes, they are so much more comfortable than the Scubas.  They don't feel bulky or uncomfortable.  I always thought the Scuba thumbholes were too thick.  


The length of the hoodie actually hits a little bit above my hip.  It doesn't cover the butt completely.   Overall I'm very happy I purchased this.  I think I'll get a lot of use out of it.


The fabric and feel is very soft.  I don't know if it will pill with wear, but I'll update this if it does.  If you're looking for a light weight hoodie, I highly recommend this one.   You can shop for it at Alala's website or Orchard Mile with a $25 discount if you sign up.  If you search online Alala also has coupons you can use 15% off.

Alala- still has all sizes in stock.

Orchard Mile- sold out in XS as of today.


In other news I ordered a pair of Sweaty Betty Navasana Leggings since they're having a huge sale right now!  I got it for 50% off!  I'll post a review of those when I get them.  Tomorrow I have a Lululemon fit review coming up.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
