Out of This World!



How was everyone's weekend? I managed to see Endgame and survived that. I thought it was good! However it is 3.5 hours long including previews. I'm not sure I can sit through that again. It went by fast, but it is long! Also just finished watching tonight's episode of Game of Thrones! OMG that was way more intense than Endgame. Also hard to watch, not sure I can sit through it for a second viewing. It was brutal. 😭

So with that, I want to show you a couple of my most prized possessions. I love beautiful things and want to share two of my favorite mugs that I use everyday. I asked my husband, what should the title be for this post? His reply, "Things my husband doesn't want me spending money on." 😂

By the way, this is not a sponsored post. I just love supporting small businesses and artists.


This is a cosmic mug. It's pretty amazing. The artist is Joel Cherrico. My coworker introduced me to his artwork, and I eventually bought my first piece soon after, a cosmic mug. I've had this mug for over a year now. I paid $125 for it. A lot of people balk at his prices which I totally understand. Why buy a $125 mug when you can go to Target and buy one for $5? I'll argue that the cosmic mug is a piece of artwork. It's made by hand, and it isn't mass produced. Each one is unique. The colors and the glazing and the amount of time he's put into each one really shows. These photos really do not do it justice. 

Cosmic Mug



His prices have gone up since I bought my cosmic mug, but if you're patient he does have coupons and there's a sale going on now for Mother's Day. Last Christmas I asked my husband to buy me a moon mug. Joel's moon mugs are just gorgeous and I wanted one but couldn't afford to pay his full price of $495. He eventually had Christmas sale and my husband bought one for 60% off. I am really lucky to own one of these. 




I particularly really like the thumb pad. 


I drink out of his mugs every single day. I feel super lucky to be able to experience Joel's artwork. Maybe next Christmas I'll ask for a Mountain Mug!

What do you think? Is it crazy to drink out of a $500 mug? I will say I am super careful with my mugs. I definitely don't keep them around when my cats are tearing up the place!

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...
