Happy February!

January went by so fast. With everything going on with Sherlock it's been exhausting. I haven't even gone to a Lululemon store in so long. I'm going to definitely try and make a trip out there this weekend.

My goal for 2018 is to try and buy less, to consume less material goods. That said, I am allowing myself one purchase a month. It can be anything really. For the most part I succeeded in January. I made two purchases that I didn't "need".

Athleta Girl Cozy Cruiser Jogger (on sale!)

I loved my black pair so much I stalked Athleta's website until my size was back in stock for the gray pair. I have a review of the black pair here. Since I purchased another pair of joggers, I am going to sell/donate at least one pair in my closet that no longer works for me.

Harry Potter Golden Snitch Necklace

My second purchase is this gorgeous golden snitch necklace. I'm a Potterhead so after my Harry Potter trip I've been pretty obsessed with anything Harry Potter related. I found this necklace on etsy. I absolutely love it. I don't usually buy jewelry and I definitely do not buy expensive jewelry so I didn't feel too guilty buying this necklace. 

Overall, January was a pretty good month. I managed to sell some items from my closet and also donated a bag of clothes to goodwill. For the month of February I'm going to try and limit my purchase to one item again and after reading agentathletica's blog, I will be participating in her challenge of getting rid of 28 items in 28 days. That will definitely be hard for me but I'm going to try. I may end up having another small blog sale soon! Is anyone else participating in the Frugal February challenge? 

I'm now one month into my new workout program (I'm following Alexia Clark) and I already can feel a difference. I should have taken a photo when I started on December 29th, but haven't gotten around to it! I'm so behind on everything it's driving me nuts. I definitely have a photo shoot planned this weekend. It better be sunny!

That's it for me. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I read that post on donating 28 items, too. It inspired me as well. I'm filling up a big bag for charity this month and will take it in at the end of the month. Feels good to see items in my closet that I like and wear, rather than a whole bunch of stuff I'm kinda over.

      That is it exactly. I'm slowly going through my wardrobe and weeding things out. I want to look at my closet and be in love with everything. Then too many things hanging there that I'm kinda meh about. Here's to 28!

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...
