Fit Review Friday! BlankNYC Moto Suede Jacket Burgundy


Happy Friday everyone! I'm about to pull the trigger on some Lululemon items I've been eyeing. I'm in dire need of some retail therapy from the last two weeks. Sherlock is still recovering from his MRI and spinal tap and we are still waiting for results to come in. The waiting is just so nerve wracking.



Here's a quick review on this amazing suede moto jacket I purchased last month. It's still on sale for 40% off at Nordstrom. 

Being as petite as I am, it's always a challenge to find a jacket that really fits. This is my first suede jacket and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The suede is thick and soft. The quality is very nice for the price. It actually looks a lot more expensive than what it costs. The fit is casual, not too tight anywhere across the back, chest or shoulders. I've tried on some leather jackets where it is actually hard for me to zip up because of my short torso and to my dismay the only way to wear it is to leave the jacket unzipped. Balenciaga I'm looking at you! 



I find this jacket to look very flattering on a petite frame. I can't wait for the weather in Atlanta to get back in the 50s and 60s so I can wear this! This jacket would look great paired with some skinny jeans and my Sam Edelman Petty booties. The sleeves are just a tad too long, but nothing to really complain about. The sleeves have zipped cuffs. I prefer them fully zipped.


The two front pockets can be zipped up as well and can fit my iPhone X with no problem. These days a fully functional pocket is a must for me. Overall, if you're looking for a casual and inexpensive suede jacket, you can't go wrong with this one. I would totally buy this in another color. This taupe version is totally calling my name!

That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

    1. We started him on steroids Saturday morning. So far I'm not seeing any improvement. We are taking him to the vet tomorrow morning to see if there's anything more we can do for him.

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 a love/hate relationship with c

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. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
