Store Visit Today Fit Review for Tender Violet Down For A Run Vest, Down For A Run Jacket, Vinyasa, Speed Tight IV

First up, Tender Violet Down For A Run Jacket.  I love this color so much I wanted to give it another try, but sadly the back of the jacket is just too long on me.  The front looks fantastic, but the back just kills it for me.  I love the new Vinyasa scarf too.  Wish I knew what the name of the color was!  The jacket is a size 2.  I feel it is true to size.  Some people are put off by the contrasting panels but I don't mind it.  







The dip on the butt just looks off.  


New Vinyasa, super cute.  I might go back for it.



The vest fit me better in a size 4.  The 2 was just too suffocating.  The back was not as long as the jacket on me, but I still left it behind since I don't have much use for vests.  If you're interested in the vest in this style, I suggest size up.





These are the herringbone Speed Tights.  At first glance they're very long on me, but since the bottom scrunches up a bit it they're passable on my 27 inch legs.  I tried on my usual size 4 and were very comfortable.  I love the large side pockets especially.  If I ran on a regular basis I would pick these up.  But for $108 I don't know if I would be able to justify the cost per run.  


And just for the heck of it I tried on the 1X A Lady coat because it was marked down to $128 which made it very tempting, but the pockets sat too low on me.  Again it's because I have a very short torso.  If i were just a couple of inches taller it would have looked better on me.  It's very cute.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review! Aviator Nation Navy Hoodie 5 Stripe

  Is it already Monday? This weekend just flew by. For the first time since early 2020, I met up with a friendly neighbor and we went out for dim sum. At the end we hugged since I hadn't seen her in forever. I told her, "You're the first person I hugged since the pandemic started that isn't my husband!" 😄  For today's post, this is a hoodie I've been dying to try for months but kept putting it off because of the price tag. Aviator Nation is not cheap. Not a whole lot makes me pause because I'm used to seeing Lululemon hoodies priced at $128-$138. Aviator Nation comes in at a whopping $189.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and I am wearing a size XS in Aviator Nation. For Lululemon tops I typically wear a size 4. 5 Stripe Hoodie  Navy Size XS The interesting thing about Aviator Nation is their hoodies are unisex sizing. The available sizes are XS-XXL. The female model is shown wearing size XS while the male model is shown wearing size large. I took a c...
