USA / Canada Upload! January 31st 2017

Overall a nice upload but nothing for me tonight. The dark olive Scuba is tempting but I have too many hoodies. Midnight blue is also really pretty in the Swiftly but it's not a must have. If any of those end up on WMTM I'll reconsider. Did you get anything from tonight's upload before Frugal February?

This is my 5th year doing Frugal February. It's always nice to scale back and not purchase my every whim. Gives me a month to appreciate what I already have. So for me, I'm not purchasing any new athletic clothing. I may have to buy some more work clothes however, but I don't spend a lot on work clothes so it won't be very costly. I prefer to buy my work clothes from Target. =)

I do not ban myself from going out to eat with my husband because frankly he just won't go for that at all even if I wanted to. I also will allow myself to purchase books and other items I need like some new socks or underthings.

I will be posting some reviews next month from January purchases that I haven't gotten around to shooting since I was away for most of January. February is also my birthday month (which is insane that I would do a ban but I'll allow myself to buy something nice in March).

Four hours to go before February! (at least for all of us on the east coast.) Here's to the next 28 days of being frugal! Who is with me?!



Cadence Crusher Tight Deep Blue (finally some color!)





(this makes me happy to see some low rise bottoms again!)




(this is color actually kind of pretty tempting)

  1. I am also doing a frugal February 😀 luckily my Run for Cold vest in plum arrived yesterday (from WMTM) so I have that to tide me over 😉

    1. Very nice! I think I have enough to tide me over as well. Shop your closet!

  2. I'm with you! Between you and Agent Athletica, I've been convinced and I'm excited that there will be community support! I have two other big motivating factors: a trip to Spain planned for early March (YAY!), and the promise of a custom closet from my bf if I commit to reducing my clothes to fit into it. :) I've bought so many great pieces over the last 6 months, I'm excited to focus on what I have. I also think it will be healthy to evaluate how much stuff I buy out of FOMO vs really loving it. (Just me?) I'm also going to try to get rid of some things I don't love - I already ramped up my lulu sales, but this will just motivate me even more.

    1. Yay! Glad we have a nice sized group going. It's always easier when more people are doing the same thing. Feel free to comment whenever you're feeling the itch to buy something, I'll try my best to talk you out of it. Hehe. Luckily I started a new job and I'm not allowed to use the computer for surfing. Keeps the temptations away!

      A custom closet is a great motivator to purge! Go for it!

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.
