Guest Review Athleta High Rise Quest Chaturanga Capri, Colorblock Revelation Tight

I want to thank Sarah for sending an email with her review of her latest Athleta haul.  I actually really like the  Colorblock Revelation Tight  and want a pair for myself.  I'm sad the petite sizes are sold out!    I'm tempted to order in the regular XS just to see.  Thanks again Sarah! "Hi Leslie! happy new year  My Athleta order just arrived so I thought I'd share with you  I got the high rise quest chats capris in iron blue and purple drama.  Left to right: High Rise Quest Chaturanga Capri and Black Quest Chaturanga Capri Compared to my black quests, these are longer and the fabric is smoother and more compressive. I really like the change. I have included a picture of the fabric content and it's the same but the two new pairs feel more substantial, not sure why! I have also included a comparison to the high rise knickers so you can see the difference in length. Left to right: Iron Blue High Rise Quest Chaturanga Capri , Black

Blooming Pixie High Times Pant  $79 I have the crops, but now I'm tempted to order these too just to see if I like them more than my crops...  ahhhhh.  What to do?!

USA / Canada Upload! January 3rd 2017

Strive print is everywhere.  I really like the print, but it does remind me of Werkshop's galaxy leggings I have so I won't be getting it.  I would enjoy the Free To Be Zen bra in this print but it's been either a hit or miss for me in this style.  The sizing seems to vary a lot with this bra for me.  Nothing for me today.  Anything for you?

A Year In Review! Best of 2016

Last year, I wrote a post on my favorite pieces of the year and I'd like to continue that again.  I couldn't limit myself to a top 10, so this is every single piece I truly love and couldn't live without.  Looking over my excel spread sheet this year I calculated a total amount of $4,658.49 spent on Lululemon.  Which is significantly less than what I spent the year before.  Much of it is due to the increase prices in the Swiftly Racerbacks.  This year I only bought three compared to last year I purchased over ten.  I also spent a bit less on bras.  I love Free To Be Wild Bras and it seems they are slowly discontinuing them and I have not found a replacement bra that I really love.  I've also started to branch out to other brands this year.  Most of my crops are from Werkshop and I've recently started to dabble in Athleta.  I've tried a few pieces from Terez and Alo Yoga, and while I like them a lot, they are not pieces I reach for consistently. So here's m

Fit Review Fenty Puma Rihanna Velvet Creepers

These velvet creepers by Puma are amazing.  They're super soft and comfortable, but they do run big.  I bought these in a size 5.5 and size 6 to see.  I would need these in a size 5.  Unfortunately the smallest size these come in is a 5.5.  If anyone here who is reading this would like to buy them from me send me an email at petiteimpact@gmail.com.  Normally I would not offer this and would just return them, but considering how hard they are to find as they sold out in hours of release I'm letting my readers get first dibs before I send them back.  I'm asking for what I paid plus shipping.  I paid $150+tax. Size 5.5 is no longer available. Normally I wear a size 5.5 in sneakers.  I'm sometimes a size 5.  In this case I would definitely need a size 5.  The thick soles are a little bit heavy and because of this the back heel drops when I walk.   The box these come in is high quality.  The box is thick and smooth with a black matte finish.  It

Happy New Year 2017! Great discounts via Saks & Nike

Hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year celebrations!  I'm still checking out the after Christmas sales and now New Years sales and will be posting about some major deals today. I have a thing with sunglasses.  Even though I don't wear them all that often because it means I have to put my contacts in, I love the idea of playing around with how you can change your whole look with an accessory.  So when I saw these Miu Miu cat eye sunglasses over a year ago I fell in love with them but never pulled the trigger because of the price.  Last night while surfing in bed (yes we celebrated at home this year which is kind of lame, I hope that's not a sign of us getting old) I came across the sunglasses on super sale via Saks.  They originally coast $325.  Now they're on sale for $130! Miu Miu Cat Eye Sunglasses $130 Miu Miu Cat Eye Sunglasses $130 Initially I wanted to get the green pair, but I ended up going with the pink because it would be a good neutral
