Petite Impact

Happy Friday! Stopped by Vuori to check out their Restore line. I fell in love with this line. It is super soft on the outside and cozy fleece on the inside that I would love to snuggle up in this fall/winter season.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear size XS in Vuori. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. For Athleta I typically wear size PXS.   Restore Essential Full Zip Hoodie Bone Heather  Size Small The store did not have size XS in stock so I grabbed size Small to try since I really liked the Bone Heather color. It's definitely a little oversized on me, but not in a bad way. I think size XS would still be the better fit for me. The sleeve are long as expected. The hoodie feels so soft and cozy I think it's worth the $138 price tag. It feels way more substantial than any Lululemon or Athleta hoodie I have tried in the recent memory. It's currently available in five colors but Bone Heather is my favorite. It's on my wishlist! Next up we have R...

Not much new from Lululemon. Nothing for me this week as I'm still on my no-buy for the month of October. I gotta say, it's actually been quite easy this time around. It also helps that I'm still recovering from the flu so I'm not even in the mood for shopping! How is everyone doing so far?  Focuser Halter Bra Heathered Core Medium Gray Steady State OS Funnel Full Zip Stripe Black/Dusty Diamond Featherweight Cropped Quilted Puffer Sapphire Sprint New From Banana Republic Faux Fur Jacket Midnight Lily Purple (I love this so much, that hint of dark purple is gorgeous!)

I thought this would be a fun video to make after seeing Bargain.hunting.blonde's video - My luxury handbags my husband loves and hates . If you'd like to see why Jared loves and dislikes these four bags he picked, check out the video. And if you're a fan of Jared's commentary there are apparently a lot of notes in this one. I have not watched the video so I have no idea what he wrote. 😅 In other news we have a lot of construction going on in the house right now, so my studio is a mess. I may or may not post about the bathroom renovation that's been going on for the last three months. We are also battling the flu! Jared got me sick, thanks babe. 😫 Keeping this short as I am a hot mess at the moment. Hope you all have a wonderful start to a brand new week!

  Happy Friday! Some interesting news today. Athleta's President and CEO Maggie Gauger will join Lululemon as Chief Product Officer, a newly created role. I feel both brands are floundering. They really need to hire new designers. It's very telling when I haven't bought/kept a single Lululemon item this year. I've spent more at Athleta for sure. Looking at my spreadsheet I have spent a total of $650 at Athleta so far. That's not a lot considering it's October! If it wasn't for Banana Republic, my spending on clothing would have been a record low. Today we have an Athleta fit review. 😆 For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS/XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. Form Knit Shawl Collar Sweatshirt Gray Heather Size XXS This sweatshirt stood out to me because of the unique neckline. The fabric is super soft double-knit spacer material. It's very cozy. I'm wearing size XXS and it's still quite roo...
