Frugal February & My First Purchase!


I survived Frugal February. I like to do a shopping ban every six months. My next ban will come around August. It let's me reset and remind myself that I'll still survive if I don't give in to my wants all the time. Except this time I actually broke my ban. I ended up making a couple of purchases I didn't really need. Bought myself a bunch of Coach X Disney charms that I knew would be sold out in a matter of days.

I could not resist this Dumbo charm.

How could I say no to Thumper?

I also bought some tees for work and another Sophie sweater blazer from J.Crew for spring. I have it in the light gray and decided the navy would be a great addition to my work wardrobe. Then I really broke my ban when I caved and bought the Glyde Scuba Hoodie on finale sale. I love the boysenberry color and didn't want to miss out. I purchased it in the size 2 and it's a fitted look which I think I do prefer. The 4 would have also fit and would have been better for layering. I'll have a review up with photos soon.


Hopefully in August when I attempt another ban I'll be more successful! Now that my ban is officially lifted the first thing I bought was the lacescape Spanish rose Hooded Define Jacket. I've been eyeing it forever and saw that it landed on WMTM and pulled the trigger. I am super excited to get it! Overall I could have done better on my ban but I can't say I regret any of the purchases! 


Speaking of finale sale, here are some more WMTM picks. 







One last thing before I go, I'm also eyeing this cute little bag. The designer is a small company in Paris called Polene. The bags they make are very high quality and affordable. This bag comes in a bunch of different colors but I'm eying this rust colored version.


That's all for me! Hope everyone has a fab Monday!

  1. You really are a charm lady lol! The Dumbo one is too cute!

    I thought of getting the Glyde Scuba Hoodie but It looks kind of short. Can’t wait to read your fit review!

    1. Yes I am a sucker for cute bag charms! I love Dumbo, can't wait to see the movie later this month.

      The Glyde Scuba is definitely short. It hits me almost at my waist. I'll have pics up for Friday's post!

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. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

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. ...

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...
