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.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

  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.
