My birthday present to myself!





I am officially 37 years old. How am I this old?! I'm closing in on 40 in a few years and that is down right kinda scary. I was pretty depressed when I turned 30 and I wonder if I will feel the same way when I turn 40. I'm a pretty happy person in general, but thinking about getting older can sometimes set off a panic attack. 

This is supposed to be a happy post! Moving on... so I am an online shopper junkie. I'll visit my usual websites every week and that's usually Lululemon, Neiman Marcus, Fashionphile just to name a few. I was looking up Coach 1941 bags on Neiman Marcus to check out the new Keith Haring limited edition pieces and saw this Rexy Dylan bag on sale. I know it's a return because these bags sold out back in December. 


The size of the bag is very similar to my J.Crew signet bag. The Dylan bag is slightly wider at the base but other than that, the dimensions are nearly identical. I absolutely love how the leather looks burnt around the edges of the bag. I think it's a really nice detail.


This is me dressed down over the weekend doing errands. Sneakers- check, sweatpants- check, Down For A Run Jacket- check. The bag is a burnt orange with a hint of marigold that reminds me of sunnier days. It brought a bit of happiness to an otherwise cloudy and rainy weekend. Which of course meant I didn't get to do a photoshoot again.


I also really love the strap!


My husband got me some new fitness equipment! A new bench and a medicine ball. I really didn't know what weight to start with since I wasn't sure exactly what kind of exercises I would be doing with the medicine ball, but so far the 6 lbs is fine. If I really like it I'll get a second one that's heavier. I'm pretty excited about the bench too!


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Happy birthday! You’re still a spring chicken! Enjoy your youth. Have you ever tried on the down for a run vest II? I saw your review for the first version

      Thanks!! I'm such a sucker for bags. The bench is pretty nice but a little hard to move around!

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 ...

  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.
