Fit Review Friday! Blissful Zen Sweater So Merlot & Midnight Navy / Vinyasa Scarf Heathered Auburn


Happy Friday everyone! This week has been a rough week for me. I've been on a shopping spree the past few days just trying to distract myself. So my one item a month has totally gone out the window. I'll try and get back on track next month. I'm at least still doing my Alexia Clark workouts.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon's tops.


I've been really curious about this sweater and wanted to see it for myself after reading the reviews. It seems like people either love it or hate it. I really love the color so merlot, but didn't really like the design of the sweater too much. From the front it reminds me of religious robes! The merino wool is actually not as soft as I expected and it's also on the thin side. It wasn't scratchy, but it just didn't feel luxurious. 


The slit really does go all the way up to the armpit, and this unfortunately was a deal breaker for me. I don't think I would wear this out casually. So back it went. 



Sizing on this was a little tricky for me. I ordered a size 2 and 4 to see which one I would prefer. If I'm wearing just a tank top underneath, the size 2 is perfectly fine. However if I put on a short sleeve tee, it felt too tight in the armpit area and the size 4 felt better. But the size 4 from the back looks completely shapeless. Between the two colors, I think midnight navy looked better on me, but so merlot on its own is such a gorgeous color. In the end I decided to return both sweaters. I wasn't 100% sold on either one. 




 I did however end up keeping the Vinyasa Scarf in heathered auburn. It's super soft and the color is very pretty.



That's it for me! I'm waiting for my Lululemon order to come in, and if this weekend isn't rainy I have another photo shoot coming up. 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. ...

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
