Review Coach X Keith Haring Rogue 25 & Frame Pouch




A week has gone by and the pain of losing Sherlock is still the same. I've been participating in retail therapy. I purchased these two Coach items since the hearts reminded me of Sherlock's love. Kinda cheesy, but it's true.  For spring 2018, Coach released a few items using Keith Haring's artwork. Keith Haring is an artist from the 80s known for his graffiti style and bold colors. It's an interesting pairing that I think is geared towards the younger crowd. I may not be as young as I once was but I'll always be young at heart.


This frame pouch is made made of super fluffy pebbled leather. The sequins on the heart is made out of leather. It's a very nice nice if you ask me. There's also glitter all around the heart. It's playful and kind of quirky, but I like that. The color is a gunmetal gray metallic.

Two tea roses make up the kiss lock closure.




The inside is lined with soft leather. The card slots are too tight to be functional, but if you place the cards on the inside compartment it works. It will fit a dozen cards or so, plus some cash and receipts. I don't carry coins anymore, but if you had some that should work also.

Tea rose detailing at the sides.

Overall, it's a very high quality piece and I like it a lot. I'm not quite sure I'll keep it because I'm afraid the leather sequins will eventually get caught on other items in my bag and fall off or get damaged. For $175 it's quite expensive, but not as expensive as say my other McQueen card cases. My husband says McQueen all the way. What do you guys think?


The Rogue 25 isn't made of the same leather as the frame pouch, which is disappointing. The tote is made of smooth glovetanned leather. The color is also a metallic blue-gray that's also burnished. 


The leather actually looks and feels quite plastic-y in person. It looks fantastic in the photos but in real life it doesn't feel as high quality as my other Coach 1941 pieces. The bag also has a chemically smell to it which I assume is from being treated with a metallic finish. The inside of the bag is lined with burgundy colored leather. 


 Compared to my black tea rose Rogue, it's just not as nice. I slept on it for a night and decided the next morning I didn't love it enough to keep. For $650 it better be up to my expectations! I'm still thinking about the frame pouch.



It's a cute bag, but it wasn't a must have for me. I'm also eyeing this camera style bag that's a pre-order from Saks. I assume Coach will eventually have it on their website as well. I love the detailing and the color. It's the same color as the tote but the style of the bag makes it look more vintage.


There's also a pink version without the crystals for almost half the price. It even comes with an extra shoulder strap. 


That's all for me! Hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend. I'm still waiting for my Lululemon order to arrive. I am anxiously waiting for the so merlot Align Crops and the FTBW bra in quicksand.

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. ...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels.

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
