Petite Impact

  My parents arrived Thursday night and it's the first time they have come visit since 2016. I usually fly to New York to see them once or twice a year. They wanted to see the new house which is the main reason why they wanted to visit. 😂 It was fun showing them around because Atlanta has changed a lot in 10 years.  First stop, we took them to an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. Seafood is my dad's favorite thing to eat. He can eat crab legs for days. 😆 He said, next time we need to bring a pair of scissors.  Mom enjoying our deck outside. The weather was sunny and low 70s all weekend long. It was perfect, which is so not normal for Atlanta this time of the year. By now, it's usually in the 80s and humid.  Took them to Mister 01 for some good pizza. My mom ordered a mushroom pie. My dad went for a plain cheese pizza. On the last day she complained we ate too much.  I'll be visiting them in New York soon enough. I need to make a trip in the fall or winter becaus...

Happy Friday and Happy May! My parents are visiting this weekend. The last time they came down to Atlanta to visit me was back in 2016 when we first moved here. I guess I'll expect a visit every 10 years or when we move to another place. They basically want to check out the new house. 😂 Today I have a store try-on for you from Lululemon and Athleta.  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 or XXS/XS  in Athleta.  BeCalm Shrug Updated Fabric Willow Leaf Size XS There wasn't much at Lululemon that interested me enough to try on except the BeCalm Shrug. The fabric actually feels super soft and cozy. I was kind of surprised at how much I liked it. I'm wearing size XS in the shrug and it's true to size. They do offer this in XXS, but I feel the length would be too short. The XS hits right at the top of the hips which I think looks flattering. The sleeve length is always long, but as expected from L...

Quite a small drop today! Nothing really stood out to me this week. I dropped by Avalon over the weekend. Alo and Vuori are still not open yet. Bummer. I did stop by Athleta and Lulu as well. Will have reviews coming up soon! Also placed an order from Athleta today since the 25% off sale is still going on. I wanted to try the  Dream Drape MR Crop Pant  and a few tank tops. Hopefully something works!

I'm finally getting around to posting my review of this beautiful Hermès Picotin 18 in Gold from 2023. I've had this bag for almost a year now. At the time when I made the decision to buy this bag, I really wanted to have one Hermès bag in my collection. I tried the Evelyne TPM and it was just too small for me and I ended up selling it. I loved the leather and the color so wanted to give it another shot with a different Hermès bag. I decided on the Picotin 18 for its bucket style and for an Hermès bag, it still flies under the radar. It's gaining popularity, but it's not nearly as popular as the Evelyne. (Check out my video to see what fits and how I use the bag) Hermès Picotin 18 Gold This bag does not come with a strap, although I have seen some people add a strap to the handles to make it into a crossbody or shoulder carry. I looked through all my straps and could not find one that would fit around the handles. Personally I think it would make the bag look a lit...
