JoyLab @ Target




A twitter follower of mine recently asked me to check out JoyLab at Target for those who are interested in budget friendly pieces. I did not get to try out any of them on in the fitting room, but here's a quick takeaway from what I did get to see. Sizing is available from XS to XXL. Prices range from $14.99 to $46.99. 


The tops overall werea  very loose fit. I could probably pull off the Flutter Back Shirt, but the quality of this top didn't seem great. I know for $14.99 I shouldn't expect too much, but I do give it points for style. 

Moto Jacket $44.99

This jacket looks super cute but was not at the store and is already sold out online in size XS. For $44.99 it looks decent. I would actually be interested in trying this on if I ever get a chance to.


The Target I went to did have some bras in size XS, but the cups looked really big. I didn't bother trying it on. It also looked like the v neck is too low cut for petites. 



If you're super petite like I am, the full length tights are way too long. The print is very pretty but these would definitely need to be hemmed. 





They only had one pair of capri length but size XS wasn't available so I couldn't see how wide the calves were. My guess is they would bag out. 

Overall, the colors and prints were totally on point. The bottoms are lined in white, which means if they're stretched it would stretch to white at the very least. I didn't try them on, so I can't say if they are see through in a deep bend. Everything looked well made for the most part except for the Flutter Back Shirt. I hope to try a different Target store in the future and do some actual try-ons in the fitting room.

  1. Cool - thanks for posting about it! I have found that more affordable athletic wear (Old Navy, Forever21, Gap, VS years back) tend to wear out/bag out quickly and to me, the fabric just doesn't compare. That said, I still love them for errands/activities where I know I'll get dirty (kitchen oil stains, dirt yard work, ice skating in case I fall and rip a giant hole, etc).

    1. Totally true. Don't want to ruin the nice stuff with yucky yard work. Not that I have a yard, but I know what you mean. =)

  2. I actually love the Moto jacket and bought it last week! Fabric is stretchy and durable feeling and reminds me of a light spacer fabric. I bought it in two sizes I like it so much so I could have one for layering.

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 ...

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in.

Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
