Store Try Ons! Nulux Speed Wunder Tights, Florence Speed Shorts, Teeny Tooth Deep Fuchsia Define, Essential Tank!


I'm still traveling at the moment and writing this post from Newport Rhode Island.  It's right by the beach and so peaceful.  The other night I was in NYC to see one of my favorite bands from the 90s.  Anyone ever listen to Lush?  They pre dated the bath soap store that's super popular right now in malls.  This is what I wore to the show.

Deep zinfandel Precision Jacket and Essential Tank in dusty mauve with a pair of denim shorts from Zara.  



Anyhow, I did manage to go to the Chestnut Hill store while I was in Boston and saw the new Define Jacket in person!  

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and size 4 in tops and bottoms unless otherwise noted.

The fabric is really thick, although not as soft as herringbone if I remember correctly.  I'll have to wait until I get back to Atlanta to be sure.  This is my usual size 4 in Defines and the fit is perfect.  I think the fit is actually a little looser than my herringbone Define from last year.  It doesn't feel as tight when I zip it up.  



I'm wearing it with the florence Speed Shorts I've been eying ever since they came out.  But after seeing the Speed Shorts in person I think I can safely pass on these.  I wasn't crazy about the print on the back of the shorts.  I"ll have more pictures of the shorts coming up in this post.


I think the Define Jacket in the teeny tooth looks great for casual fall outfits.  This will make a good transitional piece since it's thicker than the luon versions.  It's softer and cozier.  I may pair this with my black coco pique Vinyasa scarf.


Here I'm just throwing it over what I wore that day.

Next up, florence Speed Shorts.  I really like the front but wasn't a fan of the back.  I wish it was the same pattern in the front and the back.  


Fit is true to size and I tried on my usual size 4.  


These are nice, but it wasn't love at first sight.  Not enough for me to shell out the money and add it to my collection.  Maybe if I didn't have my dottie tribe Speed Shorts, I might have gotten these?  


I was super happy to finally get to try on these Nulux Speed Wunder Tights!  This outfit actually looks pretty fabulous if I say so myself.  


This really is the most comfortable tights I've ever tried on at Lululemon.  The waist band is super smooth and stretchy.  No muffin top at all.  I tried on my usual size 4 in bottoms.  



The thickness of these tights run on the thin side.  I can see using them for fall and chilly weather but not for winter temperatures.


I will have to say the horizontal zebra striping really does not flatter my thighs.  They made them look wider than usual from the side.  It also doesn't help that I'm super short.  


From the front however, they look great.  I did find to my dismay these do not pass the bend over test.  I was wearing minty green pair of underwear and you can totally see the color right through.  For the price of $128, I can't shell out the money for see through tights.  


I'm hoping the florence Speed Wunder Tights are not as see through.  And no, I do not think sizing up will help much.  It's so sad because these are soooooooo comfortable.  I cannot stress them enough!  They feel so silky and stretchy.   



I tried on the Essential Tank in the size 2.  I definitely liked the color but I think I definitely like the dusty mauve color more, so I left these behind.  But I would consider them again if they make it to WMTM.  




 That's all for today!  Hope everyone is having a fabulous 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! 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...
