WMTM & Update on More Than Modal Pant

Happy Friday everyone! Unfortunately this week has been super crazy for me. I haven't had time to go to the store after work to do a fit review. 😩 I know a lot of you look forward to my fit review Fridays and trust me I do too! I had a big post coming up for today, but then Lulu decided to take a whole week to ship my goodies. Totally upended my plans. So I apologize for that. I will do a photo shoot this weekend and I'll be heading to Lululemon to return my More Than Modal Pant (I'll explain why). But first, we have a few items worth noting about on WMTM.



(I'm surprised to find these tees already on WMTM)


A few weeks ago I went to the store and purchased the light gray More Than Modal Pant. I have a fit review of them here. I totally love how soft they are and wore them around the house. After one wash I noticed two small holes and some fraying near one of the pockets.

Hole along the top of the waistband. Not good.

Another hole near one of the pockets along with a bit of fraying from the hole.

This weekend I'll head over to the store to return them. I always take care of my Lulu items and I'm super careful about washing them. I won't even let my husband do my Lulu laundry. Like, never. These also bagged out at the knees. It was so bad, my husband noticed it and men never notice anything. I'm pretty disappointed in these. I never even wore them out of the house! This is the first time I'm returning a Lulu item because of the quality. For $98+tax, this is unacceptable. 


In other news, I wanted to share a photo of my desk! My office recently renovated and I have the best view and the best space. That is Arabescato marble straight from the same quarry that produced Michelangelo's David. It arrived from Italy on a boat! It's so pretty and it makes going to work that much better.


And this is probably super silly, but I bought a marble S'well bottle to match. 😂 Because I'm a little crazy like that. Is there such thing as too much marble? 

That's all for today. Hope you all have a great weekend!!

  1. Sorry to hear that your More Than Modal trousers didn't work out! I just got my Athleta order today (let me know if you want pics of anything): Stripes Chaturanga capri Indigo/White, Chi longsleeve tops in black and white, fully focused bra in black and white and Coaster Jogger Grey Heather (modal). The modal joggers are heavenly...I want to live in them!!! They are still on sale in XS (hint hint, wink wink) :)

    1. I can't remember if I tried the Coastal Joggers at the store, they didn't have petite and just regular XS and they were too big...

      Thanks! Me too!

    3. Wow I'm surprised about the speed shorts. They look really nice on the website. Maybe they look better in crops instead? I wish they had this print in Nulux.

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...
