Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket

Happy Friday! Have I mentioned how much I am loving Banana Republic's fall collection? I'm really impressed with the direction they have taken lately. It reminds me of their golden era in the 90s and 2000s. They've gone back to using high quality fabrics and the designs have been very on trend without being too trendy. I love that they've brought back some of their heritage pieces. Last week at the store, the Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket caught my eye. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XSS/XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon.   Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket Camel  Size XS One thing I will note, a lot of their items are not available in petite sizing. They do offer size XXS which sometimes can work. For this jacket I am wearing size XS. The length of the jacket is perfect. It has a boxy fit, but it still works on my petite frame.  This jacket is oversized. Size XS looks very similar to how it fits on ...

New Releases Week of October 14th 2025

Alright, someone in marketing needs to explain to me how Erewhon and Lululemon decided to form a collaboration. 😆 Utterly bizarre because I'm guessing not a lot of people have even stepped foot into an Erewhon store. I definitely haven't. I heard to get into the one in NYC, you need to pay a $30K membership fee just to step through the door!!! This is insanity to me. The Erewhon collab items are only available on the Lululemon app as of now. I haven't looked at it yet, but I am 100% sure I will not be interested in any of it. Okay, I just looked and there's a T-Shirt that says "FRESH PRODUCE" on it for $118. SMH. I'll save you all some time, none of it is appealing! Especially not for those insane prices. 😂  In other news, I did place a Lululemon order, and hopefully I like everything! Ordered the Convertible Ruched Crossbody bag, Scuba OS Hoodie Waffle, and a pair of Beyondfeels. Also placed an order for a vest from Varley, and some Banana Republic item...

Blast From The Past! All About Vintage Chloe Paddington Bags

Who remembers the Chloé Paddington craze? It was 2005 and I was just dipping my toes into the luxury handbag world. It's hard to believe this was 20 years ago. 😳 The Chloé Paddington bag is known for the boho vibe, slouchy leather, and that padlock! The padlock is really what made the bag standout. It was something I had never seen before in the handbag world, and I needed to get my hands on one.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Please check out my video to see what fits and more. Shop Vintage Chloé Paddingon Bags This bag is known to be super heavy. I've had quite a few Paddington bags back in the day and I eventually sold them, only to buy them again a few years ago. The nostalgia for this time period runs deep. I'll never forget the Chloé ad that was plastered all over the fashion magazines. I know this ad doesn't look like the handbag ads we see today. It was a very simple time, we didn't take ourselves that seriously. The Chloé Paddington gave...

Fit Review Friday! Store Try Ons Lululemon Cross Chill City To Trail Jacket and Water Resistant Cropped Hooded Jacket

Happy Friday! My husband convinced me I should have a rain jacket, apparently this fall season may be more rainy than usual. I used to have a rain jacket but I eventually rehomed it because I didn't love the material. It felt a little too rubbery and plasticky. So off I went to Lululemon to see what I could find.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. I also wear size PXS in Athleta.  Cross Chill City To Trail Jacket Black Size Small Here is the Cross Chill City to Train Jacket and I'm wearing size small. The store did not have size XS for me to try. I knew it would be a little big but I wanted to see if I liked it enough to order my size online. Size small actually wasn't that huge. It was loose overall, but it was a very comfortable fit with room to layer. The one thing I didn't like is the zipper. It's smooth, but it feels extra sticky to me like tape. It's a little hard to describe. The sleeves are al...
