Review - Radiant Jacket!

Now that I've worn the Radiant Jacket a few times I'd like to give a proper review of it.  I like that it is longer and covers most of my bum, it is pretty warm and is a nice change from wearing my Scuba Hoodies constantly.  It is nicely fitted and I bought my usual size 2 in outerwear.  My only complaint about the jacket are the pockets.  They are perfect for keeping my hands warm and toasty, but definitely do not put your phone in there.  I made that mistake and the phone fell out.  Not once but twice!  The pockets are too shallow.  One other small complaint is when I'm sitting, the band at the bottom of the jacket tends to flip up.  It doesn't really bother me too much, but it is noticeable.  Overall, definitely a cute jacket and I'll be wearing it a lot in this 50s Boston winter weather!



Side note, I ran into Lululemon today just to see if there was anything new.  I didn't have a lot of time to try anything on but they had the new Scuba Hoodie I ordered and should arrive tomorrow.   Hopefully I'll have some pics of it on soon.  One thing to note, they are not as soft as some of the heathered colors.  Just a warning!  They a bit stiff.

Also Athleta is having a pretty good sale right now so I ordered the Down With It Jacket in XXS.  The fit is overall okay.  It's only semi fitted.  The arms are pretty loose on me so if I wanted to wear a Define Jacket underneath it would fit with no problems.  I like the color and for $69, why not keep it?  (I used a lot of Rewards and had a 20% off coupon.)  Sorry for the craptastic photos but I hope to have better lighting when I move out of this apartment!

    I also love the radiant jacket although I now wish I had stuck with my usual size. I must have been bloated when I tried it on, and now it's pretty much sold out everywhere. thanks for your reviews and pics.

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...
