Fit Review Athleta Mercer Herringbone Tight & Criss Cross Back Hoodie Sweatshirt



Wearing:


Is everyone ready for Christmas? Two sleeps away! One sleep if you're reading this tomorrow morning. I'm pretty much set. It will be a low key Christmas celebration for us. Husband will be cooking a Christmas dinner and we'll spend time with our 5 cats. They have a couple of new toys. I'm pretty excited since this is their first Christmas with us! Maybe I can get one to pose with a Santa hat. 😆

 I have just a quick review of Athleta's Mercer Herringbone Tight and Criss Cross Back Hoodie Sweatshirt. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size PXS in Athleta tops and bottoms. In Lululemon I wear a size 4 in bottoms.


The lighting was kind of poor when I took these photos, so if it looks a little muddy, that's why. I tried brightening them up in my photo app, but it's not the sharpest. These tights are a great alternative to wearing pants at the office. I actually have the navy pair and wear them pretty often. I will admit the gray doesn't look as sharp as the navy. If you're trying to decide between the two colors, I definitely prefer the navy. In fact here's a review of the navy version. The ankle has a front slit that adds a nice detail to set these apart from regular tights. There's a side pocket to stash your phone, although I never use it. 


I love that these have a stretchy waistband that sits at the belly button. They are quite form fitting all around but flare out slightly at the ankles. I'm wearing booties with these, but they would look better with a pump. Unfortunately my pair of pumps are at work. And yes, I only have three pairs of work shoes. (I am waaaaay more of a sneaker or boots gal.)

Pairing it with the Transformation Wrap

Next up, I had high hopes for the Criss Cross Back Hoodie Sweatshirt but it really was not flattering on me. It was sooooo super comfy and soft but I thought it just looked a bit frumpy on me. The sleeves are way too long. It was a quick pass for me.

also wearing:


It's very loose fitting but just looks shapeless and baggy. Doesn't look cute like it does on the model. Kind of made me sad!


 That's all for me! Athleta's semi annual sale is going on right now, and definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. If Lululemon posts and update tomorrow, I will cover it. Otherwise, Merry Christmas everyone!

  3. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas! My husband and I are staying home tonight with our 15-year-old Westie. Our boy is aging fast lately and we are cherishing each and every moment with him. If I could only wish for one thing at Christmas, I wish all our furry babies would live forever.

    1. Merry Christmas! Aw that is how I feel with our 19 year old. Right now he has a cold and isn't feeling well. He normally doesn't do well in winters. Cherish the time with him.

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. ...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...
