New Essential Tank in Dusty Mauve! Athleta Try Ons!

I managed to get myself to a super busy mall yesterday.  Stopped by Athleta and Lululemon to check out new items.  Looks like dusty mauve in the Essential Tank is hitting the US stores.  This tank runs big, so I sized down in this.


Essential Tank in Dusty Mauve Size 2

As of now they only have 4 colors on the website.  Maybe we will see dusty mauve uploaded this coming Tuesday.  


I think this color is super pretty.  So yep, I took it home with me.  



Next up, I went to Athleta to check out the Stronger Hoodie and Downabout Vest.

Stronger Hoodie in Grey Heather Space Dye Size XXS

I tried on the XXS but I think I would need to try this in the XS.  The chest and shoulders felt a little too tight for my tastes.  Surprisingly I think I prefer this hoodie in the darker charcoal color more.  


The inside of the hoodie is lined in fleece.  The fuzzy fleece, which I personally am not crazy about.  The fabric felt soft but not super soft.  It's a light to medium weight hoodie.  Definitely very fitted throughout.  


Interestingly enough, the XXS in the charcoal color fit a little looser.  The chest and arms fit much better on me.    

Stronger Hoodie


I also liked that it covers the bum area.  It's a cute hoodie and on my wish list.  Last thing I tried on was the Downabout Vest.  The color is super pretty and the zipper is a nice gold color that goes very well with the pink.  

Downabout Vest

Unfortunately the fit is all wrong on this vest.  The hole for your arms is super small.  I tried on the XXS and the XS and both fit really tight.  It also poofs out a lot so it wasn't slimming at all.  I couldn't wear it with a hoodie underneath.  No way.  I was so disappointed this is the only photo I took.  LOL.

I hope everyone has having a great weekend so far!

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
