Reviews for Vinyasa Scarf Fleece, Scuba Hoodie III, Free To Be Wild Bra, Athleta Icecap Vest

Thanks to 2 day shipping, I received my order on Christmas Eve in a giant Lululemon box.  I've never ordered so much before that they had to send it in a box and not one of their shipping envelopes.  They also sent me a Lululemon black shopping tote that reminds me a lot like Tumi.


Clockwise from the top- Free to Be Wild Bra in Static Mist, Vinyasa Scarf Fleece in Flashback Static Tender Violet, Scuba Hoodie III in Static Mist, Scuba Hoodie III in Star Pixel Raspberry.


I'm returning the FTBW bra.  The splotches of gray on the left side just makes the bra look dirty.  Not a fan!  


The Vinyasa Scarf is unfortunately very stiff.  It is very similar to the velour version.  Thick and not comfortable around my neck.  Also returning.  I noticed the website now labels it as Cotton instead of Fleece.  It's on sale and still not worth the $39 price.  

I apologize for the craptastic photos!  The apartment is a mess.  This is the Scuba Hoodie III in Star Pixel Raspberry.  Here's the interesting thing, I always fit the Scuba Hoodies in a size 2, but in this pattern/print the size 2 was very tight across the back of my shoulders and in the armpit area.  Easy return.  I'm not sure if I like the print enough to go up to a size 4.  The print isn't that special in person.  Sort of dark and uninteresting.  The fabric and feel is also a lot stiffer and not very soft.  


This is also a size 2, and the hoodie was a much better fit and more like my other Scuba Hoodies.  I'm leaning towards keeping this one.  I like how unique it is.  It also reminds me of Nike!  The fabric is not as soft as my Bark Berry Scuba which is my favorite.  But it's not a deal breaker.

I've been wanting to try Athleta's Icecap Vest for a while now.  I got this in the XXS, and it makes my hips look pretty wide.  The material is a soft jersey and the color is a grayish purple.  Too bad it doesn't look better on me because the price I got it for was insane.  $61.  But alas I will be returning this too.

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...
