Fit Review Friday! Athleta High Rise Powerful Gleam Tight & High Rise Serpent Chaturanga Tight


As much as I love colorful prints, every girl needs a pair of black leggings. As a general rule if I'm buying black leggings, I try and stay away from solid black leggings. A nice textural print like the one Athleta has right now is totally cool, at least in my book. It gives it a slight edge that can easily transition from workout to street wear. Pair if with knee high boots or a pair of booties and you're good to go.


For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms and size PXS in Athleta bottoms.

Even though these are high rise, I find them to be very comfortable and sit right under my belly button. I've already worn these a bunch of times to workout and to wear casually and they really go with anything. 


 I think these are super figure flattering and the length fits my petite frame so well.  They have just the right amount of slouch that makes them look really good.


 These are opaque on me through the bend test. I find them to be very slightly compressive, so they're very comfortable to wear. I highly recommend these!


 Next up we have the Powerful Gleam Tights. Ever since I returned the Alo Yoga Moto Leggings which you can read my review of them here, I've been on the search for a similar pair that would fit my petite legs. I have finally found them!


The seams do not cut across my knee which is why I returned the Alo Yoga pair. The last seam sits a good inch above my knee, so these are very petite friendly.


 These photos show the mesh and side panels on the legs. I think it does work well with the style.  This is definitely more street wear than anything else. I don't think I would workout in these? But maybe!



These are also high rise, but they sit right underneath my belly button. Also super comfortable and opaque during the bend test.


The length is fine on my short inseam. The inseam is 25.5 inches and no bagginess around the ankles either. 


 I'm happy to report I ended up keeping both pairs and have worn them a few times already. Definitely recommend the petite sizing from Athleta. If you're new to Athleta you can receive $15 off your first order with my referral link.

 Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    1. I'm doing really well on my ban! And only 3 more days. This is by far the easiest ban I've had in many years. I think I may try another ban later this year around June or July. It depends if I really end up dropping Lulu and shopping elsewhere.

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 ...

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.
