Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Faux Fur Bomber




Happy Friday! Banana Republic is offering an extra 60% off sale styles today. I tried on this super cute faux fur bomber at the store recently. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size PXS/XS in Banana Republic. Size 4 in Lululemon tops and size XXS/PXS in Athleta tops.


I was pretty impressed with how soft the faux fur is. I'm wearing size XS here and it works because the style of the jacket is cropped. The bomber look is something that never really goes out of style in my opinion and I like the ribbed cuffs and hem. The thick collar is also also a nice touch. The jacket hits at the hip and does not cover the bum. This jacket is semi fitted and very comfortable in the size XS. The PXS would have been a little bit more fitted on me, but they didn't have it at the store.


The fit is slouchy in a cute teddy bear way. The sleeves are as always too long on me. I did not go home with this mainly because the camel color is never a shade I reach for. If this came in another color like gray, I might have bought it.



Unfortunately this jacket is completely sold out online, but Banana Republic has a lot of other faux fur jackets currently available and on sale.






In other news, WMTM updated with the Plush Scuba Hoodie for $89! Dark Adobe is sold out otherwise I would have liked to pick one up for myself. I love the night diver and purchased one for my sister. If you missed my review, check it out here.



That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  2. I saw the plush scuba but didn't buy it in time! I have too many hoodies and jackets so maybe next year! The BR fur jacket looks so cute on you! I love that color too.

  3. The faux fur bomber looks really cute on you but like you, I’m not particularly fond of camel color. It would be nice in grey or cream colors. So what’s your verdict? Which is your most favorite sherpa/faux fur jacket so far?

    I checked out the Banana Republic website but the faux fur/sherpa jackets are soooo expensive!

    1. Good question!!! I think the best sherpa jacket goes to Athleta's Tugga Jacket. Best faux fur goes to Patagonia's Lunar Frost Jacket. I really love the cut and style. I just didn't love the color. I'm hoping next year they will release better colors.

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...
