Fit Review Friday! Athleta Black Friday Sale, Willow Fleece and Double Cozy Karma Recover Full Zip Plus Winner Announced!


Happy Friday! I'm sorry this post is up late. I was so full and sleepy after my Thanksgiving dinner I just passed out on the bed with my cats. 

So yummy and thankful my husband cooks!

Pumpkin pie for dessert.

And of course my mom had to send me a picture of their Thanksgiving dinner that I'm missing out on this year which makes me 😭

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and hopefully got to spend it with someone you love. Now let's get on with this fit review. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size XXS or PXS in Athleta. I'm typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops.

Willow Fleece Size PXS


This is a super cozy fleece jacket and it is very warm. I'm wearing size PXS and it fits well with room to layer. It hits at the hip and the sleeve length is perfect. I do love the unique striping panels on the front. I went with the natural color over the black. I think the natural makes this jacket look a little more elevated and luxe, although the black is a good option as well if you prefer more subtle striping. 

The pockets are secured with zippers which is a nice touch.


Overall, I'm very happy with this jacket and can't wait to wear it out! I'm very tempted to just wear this around the house as well. 😆


This jacket is super soft and plushy. It feels velvety soft and silky. I was very close to keeping this jacket but it runs large, I wish this was available in petite because it is a bit boxy and wide even in the XXS. The pockets flare out a bit when I walk and that is the reason why I am returning this one. It would work on someone with a longer torso than me. 

Hits at the hip but it bunches up in the back.


The sleeves are just a bit too long and there is extra fabric on the arms. However this is very comfortable and I wish it was more flattering! I really wanted to keep this one!

  3. Wow! Your mom's thanksgiving dinner is very fancy! And yours looks very good as well! I like how the Willow Hoodie fits on you and it looks very comfy, must be like hugging a teddy bear! Did you end up ordering the Balance Sweatshirt? It looks like it may be a good length for petites! Have a great weekend!

    1. Athleta holds up pretty well. I have the Tugga Sherpa jacket from last year and washed it and looks like new. I'm pretty pleased! The pottery is on the way to you!!

  5. Both Thanksgiving dinners look so yummy!

    I agree with everyone else that the Willow Fleece Jacket is really cute on you. My Double Kozy Karma Jogger in PXS arrived today and it is too short! I love how thick and cozy the fleece is even though the look is not that sexy lol. I reordered the regular XS. Let's hope that it is not too long.

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

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  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. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
