Fit Review Friday! Lululemon Down & Around Jacket, Scuba Hoodie IV


Happy Friday! Fall finally arrived in Atlanta and I'm loving it! Burgundy is the color that reminds me of fall the most, so it's no surprise that I've been looking at burgundy colored pieces these days. I ordered the Down & Around Jacket in dark cedar.

 For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and Size 4 in Define Jackets and size 2 in Scuba Hoodies.

Down & Around Jacket Size 4 Dark Cedar

I purchased this in my usual size 4 and I love how it fits. It's not tight at all, but not too loose. It's perfect if you want to layer underneath for extra chilly days. This jacket is made with 800 goose down in the front and half of the back part of the jacket. The sleeves are made of spacer fabric. It's soft and just slightly spongy to the touch.


This jacket is super flattering on. Even my husband commented that the fit is amazing. It gives me a hour glass figure which you can see from the back. The color however, is not at all what the website shows. Here is the photo from the website.


The color looks so much better on the website that when I first saw it in real life, I was very disappointed. Dark cedar is a much more muted brown-red than the bright and vibrant red I was expecting. The fit is so flattering I'm going to see if I can exchange it for another color. I'm thinking possibly navy or the armory green. I'm not usually a green person, but I'm willing to give it a try.

The sleeves are not too long, but they do fit loose around the wrists as you can see in the below photos. There are no thumb holes but I'm okay with that. The cuffs are ribbed and do not lay flat since my arms are on the shorter end. They poof out a bit.

Thumbs up for fit, thumbs down for color.

 When I saw the Scuba Hoodie in viola I thought it looked almost velvety from the photos. Again, this is the case where the item doesn't match the photos from the website. The difference isn't as great as the Down & Around Jacket but it's still somewhat of a disappointment.

Looks super luxe and velvety for some reason.

Color is still lovely even if it looks a bit flat

The fit is the same as my other Scuba Hoodie IV. It's a casual loose fit. I ended up returning this, but if I see it on markdown I may pick it up. I don't need any more hoodies though!!! I don't know why I keep buying them to try. 😂

In other news, I have a big photoshoot to do this weekend and will have lots more reviews coming up. I also placed an ordered with Werkshop today for the Ode To the Moon print. I'm super excited about that and can't wait to get them. That's it for me! Hope you all have a great 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. ...

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...

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...
