Fit Review Friday! BlankNYC Moto Suede Jacket Burgundy


Happy Friday everyone! I'm about to pull the trigger on some Lululemon items I've been eyeing. I'm in dire need of some retail therapy from the last two weeks. Sherlock is still recovering from his MRI and spinal tap and we are still waiting for results to come in. The waiting is just so nerve wracking.



Here's a quick review on this amazing suede moto jacket I purchased last month. It's still on sale for 40% off at Nordstrom. 

Being as petite as I am, it's always a challenge to find a jacket that really fits. This is my first suede jacket and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The suede is thick and soft. The quality is very nice for the price. It actually looks a lot more expensive than what it costs. The fit is casual, not too tight anywhere across the back, chest or shoulders. I've tried on some leather jackets where it is actually hard for me to zip up because of my short torso and to my dismay the only way to wear it is to leave the jacket unzipped. Balenciaga I'm looking at you! 



I find this jacket to look very flattering on a petite frame. I can't wait for the weather in Atlanta to get back in the 50s and 60s so I can wear this! This jacket would look great paired with some skinny jeans and my Sam Edelman Petty booties. The sleeves are just a tad too long, but nothing to really complain about. The sleeves have zipped cuffs. I prefer them fully zipped.


The two front pockets can be zipped up as well and can fit my iPhone X with no problem. These days a fully functional pocket is a must for me. Overall, if you're looking for a casual and inexpensive suede jacket, you can't go wrong with this one. I would totally buy this in another color. This taupe version is totally calling my name!

That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

    1. We started him on steroids Saturday morning. So far I'm not seeing any improvement. We are taking him to the vet tomorrow morning to see if there's anything more we can do for him.

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...
