Fit Review Friday! Go Lightly Backpack


Ok, so this isn't really a fit review, but still a review and tomorrow is Friday. Before I start, I want to let you all know, my husband bought this backpack for me as part of my birthday gift. So I'm still doing well on my ban!


As of right now the dark chrome color is sold out online. Midnight navy and black are currently available. I really fell in love with the midnight chrome color. It's different than your typical black colored backpack. Of course because it's so light in color there's always a chance of it becoming dirty. 

 


This backpack is definitely on the large side. It's big enough to fit my 15 inch macbook pro easily. What's nice about this backpack is the back compartment is specifically made for a laptop. That's pretty sweet.



The main compartment zips halfway down on both sides with double zippers. Inside there is a mesh pocket and even comes with a separate shoe bag. 

Double zippers are very nicely weighted.


The bottom part of the backpack has a large zippered pocket where you can store your water bottle or even your shoes. There's also a top handle which gives you options on how to grab your bag when you're on the run.


On the side of the backpack is a small zippered hidden pocket that can stash your phone. I don't think the pocket is that easy to get to if when wearing the bag. I think it would have been better if the pocket was slightly lower. 


The straps are not very adjustable. You can see how long they are in the next photo. The straps themselves are very sturdy and padded.


 Here you can see how little you can actually adjust the straps. I already have them set at the shortest  possible setting.


Unfortunately the bag is not very petite friendly. I felt like it hung too far down my back and sat on my butt too much for my liking. I will say the straps are very comfortable.



The bag looks really nice with my darkest magenta First Mile Jacket. The contrast of the two colors work well together.


I've also read some reviews on the bag and most seem to agree that the quality is not up to par. For $128 I don't want to have to worry about the bag falling apart. The straps coming apart seem to be the common complaint.


In the next photo I found it a little hard to get around the strap of the bag to reach the hidden pocket to get to my key holder. I'm using my key holder instead of my iPhone because I actually use my iPhone to take all these photos. 


Overall I prefer my Run All Day Backpack which I have a review of here. If the straps were more adjustable I probably would have kept the bag. But unfortunately this one is heading back and yes my husband is okay with that! =)


That's all for today! I have to wake up super early tomorrow for a 7am meeting. Really not looking forward to waking up at 5:30 am. But at least it's Friday! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

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...
