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. ...

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...
