Review- Gucci Marmont Chevron Velvet Shoulder Bag!

Gucci is super hot right now. I've never really liked any Gucci enough to buy until the Marmont line. The chevron pattern gives off a very 70s vibe but with an updated feel. The double G hardware is antiqued gold tone which gives it a more subtle look instead of the bright in your face gold. A couple of months ago, my mom went to Italy for vacation and brought back this little gem for me!


Mine is the teal color from fall/winter 2016. This season they are releasing the bag in a pretty pink, black, red/fushia, and blue. I have the small size which is 10 inches by 6 inches by 3 inches deep. I think it's the perfect size bag for everyday. 


Normally I would consider a velvet bag to be a piece I would only carry in the fall or winter, but when I paired it with this summery dress it really worked nicely with brown sandals. I would totally wear this outfit on date night for sure even in the summer.


The strap can be worn two ways. You can carry it messenger style or you can double up the straps and carry it on your shoulder. I prefer to carry it messenger style as I love a hands free bag.



The back of the bag has a heart on it, which makes it feel a little whimsical and carefree. Normally I would consider something like this a little bit on the cheesy side, but I like that it makes me feel young. 


The velvet is super soft to touch. It makes me want to pet it all day. One caveat about velvet bags is the maintenance. The velvet can scuff if you're not careful with it. Luckily if velvet isn't your thing? This bag also comes in leather as well. If size small is too big for your tastes, this bag also comes in a mini size.


Underneath the flap is a spring buckle. I found it easy to open and close. Inside lining is a bright red and made of silk. Overall this makes a great bag that can transition from day to night. 

That's all for me today! If you have any questions about this beauty, leave me a comment below! Hope you all have a great Monday!

    1. It's from Anthropologie. I bought it last year. It's actually supposed to be a tank, but I'm so short that it works as a mini dress for me! If I wear it out I wear a pair of shorts underneath. =)

    1. Bitcoin? Wow. I wouldn't even know what to do with it!

      Thanks!! I think the dress definitely makes this bag pop even more so. I am also going to pair it with jeans to make the outfit look more dressy.

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...
