WMTM & Random Musings

Not much of a WMTM update today, but a few things I'd like to mention. I surprisingly really like this yoga bag. I just don't have any real need for one!



So now that I have a full time job that requires me to actually dress up, and by dressing up I mean business casual. I've been looking at clothing that I could wear to the office and outside of the office. A turtleneck would work, but I think I would just get too hot and there's nothing worse than sweating and not able to take it off! But I love rulu and this definitely caught my eye. If you get cold easily this might be for you. 

Here's another option. This one is even more work appropriate, it's more fitted. 


How is everyone's week going? How is your frugal February going so far? I'm wrapping up my first week at my new job and my ban is going fantastic. I'm so busy at work and by the time I get home and do everything I need to do, I just pass out in my bed. I literally have no time to surf or shop online! It's like I have no time to spend money! It's great! I do have a computer at the office, but since I just started, I do not want to take the chance at being caught surfing the internet just yet. 

I do have some unfortunate news. I won't be posting a Fit Review Friday tomorrow. I know a lot of you look forward to my fit reviews but with the traveling to New York and starting my new job this week, I do not have anything lined up. However, I will be taking tons of photos this weekend so I should be back up and running with a more normal posting schedule next week. 

Last thing I want to mention is how much I am loving my new Signet Bag! I needed a more appropriate work bag and decided on the Signet bag in soft blossom. I purchased this from J.Crew for full price just a couple of weeks ago and of course I get an email today that J.Crew is giving 20% off full price items. The black color is on my wish list so I'm hoping my DH will read this and order me one for my birthday since I'm on a ban, ha ha ha!


The size is perfect for a small everyday bag. It fits my wallet, iPhone, keys, a pair of sunglasses, my lipstick and inhaler with more room to spare. Sorry for the craptastic modeling shot below but it gives you an idea of how big it is. The bag actually looks bigger in the photo since it's in front of my body. 


Here is another shot, please excuse the mess! It's more accurate size wise. The strap is also long and I tied a knot in the back to shorten it. 


The leather is really soft and pebbly. There's an outside pocket to stash receipts. There's also two inside pockets for cards and change. The hardware is a very subtle gold which I really like. The color is a soft pink and it matches my Fitbit. =)

I want to mention how sweet my husband is. He had flowers sent to my office on my first day at work. Aren't they just gorgeous?! I should really take some more photos of them before they die. 


Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

  2. Happy to hear your new job is going well and love your new purse! Look forward to seeing your fit review post this weekend. :) I bought the midnight navy swiftly tank from this upload b/c it matches all my bottoms, read this one was nice, and swiftly tanks are my favorite workout top (yet I only had 2 before this... shocking lol). Eyeing the plum swiftly tank on wmtm too.. :X

    1. Wow, I have close to 10 Swiftly tanks, I think actually 8. The plum is very nice but I have something similar. I also have something similar to the navy too... but not as dark. Both are great colors!

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. ...

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...

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...
