Petite Impact

Happy Friday! How is it already mid July? I've been looking for a pair of shoes that I can wear when I want to look a little more dressed up instead of wearing my usual sneakers all the time. I'm also currently obsessing over nubuck and these boat shoes from Banana Republic caught my eye. The reviews were not great, mainly because of sizing issue. Almost every review complained about how small they were. Since they are on super sale I decided to take a chance and give them a try. I also wanted to pair them with lettuce socks. 😅 For reference I wear size 5.5 in most sneakers/trainers.  Banana Republic Italian Nubuck Leather Boat Shoe Size 6 (On super sale! Extra 20% off plus extra 10% off with Code BRAFF ) Bombas Ruffle Rib Quarter Socks The lettuce socks are from Bombas. They're mid-lightweight socks and great for summer. I'm not a fan of white socks, so I went with an off-white sand color. I think they're super cute! I wear size small in Bombas socks and it's...

Is it just me or did Lululemon have a very small drop today? I couldn't even find much that was new and interesting enough to post about! 😬 I'm eagerly waiting for fall stuff to drop. Anyone else over summer? Focuser 2-1 Tank Top Black Define Cropped Jacket Pink Pearl New From Varley Gideon Knit Tank Ironwood Heath Suede Bucket Bag Cremisi (Would be a great bag for fall.) Fashionphile Finds Gucci Monogram Vintage Medium Boston (I love a monogram boston bag. I've always wanted a Gucci one) Gucci Monogram Small Ophidia Chanel Metallic Reissue Wallet On A Chain Silver Gucci Mini Diana (This is so up my alley!) Dior Boston Vintage (I have a similar one in the red colorway and love it.) Balenciaga Le City Caramel (Completely in love with how this leather looks. Super tempted. 😅)

 Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I stopped by Lululemon to see if they had the French Terry Cropped Full Zip for me to try-on and not only did they have it, they also had the matching shorts too! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon tops and bottoms. I also wear size PXS in Athleta.  French Terry Cropped Full Zip Hoodie Downtown Tan Size XS French Terry Mid-Rise Short 3.5" Downtown Tan Size XS Hold Tight Tank (old) I'm kind of digging matching sets lately. Downtown Tan is a great neutral for summer. The French Terry feels soft to the touch, it's weighty, but it doesn't drape well. There's some stiffness to the fabric which I don't love. Maybe it would soften up over time, but for a hoodie I would prefer it to be soft from the start.  I'm wearing size XS and it does feel cropped because the waist is tight. When I zipped up the hoodie I felt like I was wearing a corset. 😆 Leaving the hoodie op...

  Happy Friday! I popped into Athleta last weekend and they had the new Jungle color in the store. It's a really beautiful dark green with a hint of gray.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta tops and bottoms. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. Seasoft Mid Rise 4" Short Jungle Size XXS (Top is an old BR linen tank) I have a pair of these shorts in a pretty mauve color from last year and I am loving them in Jungle. I'm going to wait for a sale because these are $65 retail. 😑 I would pay $40 max for these. They're really comfortable and I'm wearing size XXS. I could also swing size XS for slightly looser fit but I think the XXS looks great. These are mid rise with a 4 inch inseam. I find them to be very flattering on my petite frame.  Seasoft Full Zip Hoodie Jungle Size XS Here's a matching set with the Seasoft Hoodie in Jungle. I'm wearing size XS. I could size down to XXS as well, but I generally pr...

 Nothing new for me this week, but I did add these  Lettuce Edge Quarter Socks  to my cart. I've been seeing these all over and I think they're pretty cute. Bombas also has a super cute version. Decisions!
