Fit Review Friday! Athleta Luxe Stronger Hoodie

Happy December!  I can't believe it's almost the end of the year already.  Today I have for you a super cozy hoodie.  This one is more of an outerwear hoodie since it's lined with faux fur.  I would maybe wear this around the house if I didn't have the heat on.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and wearing a size XXS in Athleta.


 This hoodie is sooooo soft and warm I am seriously thinking about picking up another in the oatmeal color.  The oatmeal version has a gold zipper which makes it super pretty.  The black color comes with regular silver colored zipper.  Wish it was gold or rose gold!


Sizing is pretty true to size for me.  If you're in-between sizes I would say size up.  It can be a little tight in the shoulders and armpits otherwise.  It's definitely very slim fit.


The sleeves are a little too long for me, but what else is new?  The hoodie itself is very soft.  This is a medium to heavy weight hoodie.  The length covers my hips and bum.  


As for pricing it is a little steep.  $150 for a sweatshirt?!  But this is more like outerwear to me.  Also I purchased this when Athleta was having their 20% off Black Friday sale and I also had some rewards to stack on top of the discount so I bought with decent savings.


I love that this has thumbholes.  The hood itself is also lined with faux fur and you can also tighten the hood if you prefer.  


 Here you can see how much of the hoodie is lined with super soft faux fur.  It feels really luxurious.  This is one of my favorite purchases from Athleta.  They are really stepping up their game.  I love how it fits like skin and how soft this is!  It is like petting my cat!  Seriously!


Also wearing- Polonium Legging Goldsheep (I'm wearing size XS)

Here is the oatmeal version from the website.  What do you guys think?  Black or oatmeal?  As of right now size small is out of stock in the black.  The oatmeal still has all sizes available.  

So pretty!

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
