Popflex Queen's Coat vs Jonathan Simkhai x Carbon38 Mead Jacket

A couple of months ago Popflex released their new Dark Bloom collection. One of the pieces that caught my eye is the Queen's Coat.

Pop flex Queen's Coat

The price is quite affordable. The coat is $84. The smallest size is a 2 and I don't know if it's petite friendly. Often peplum styles do not work for my short torso. But this jacket looks super cute. It also looks like it's scuba material. I'm unsure if I would find the jacket comfortable to wear.




There's also another peplum style hoodie that caught my eye from Carbon38 this week. This one is all gray and a little bit more my style. The Popflex looks a little too frilly for my tastes but it does look really cute.

I'm loving the bell sleeves and that it has a hood. But for $355, I'm not sure if it's worth that kind of money. 


What do you think of these two peplum jackets? Yay or Nay? My birthday is coming up so I might give one a try. I just missed the Carbon38 anniversary sale that happened a couple of days ago, they were giving 20% off your purchase. Gah.

    Both are really cute. Neither has a good fabric content for warmth. The popflex is polyester and the mead jacket is mostly polyester blend. Unfortunately I would say not worth the $$. I do not mind polyester for workout clothing but a jacket shoulder keep you a little warm. I live in Minnesota, not Atlanta. Maybe these would work for your weather...

      I agree for the price the Mead Jacket isn't worth the money... sigh. I'm okay with the fabric, I don't usually get cold to easily since it's Atlanta. Maybe I'll try the Popflex version. Thanks for your input!

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. ...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...
