Fit Review! Aviator Nation 5 Stripe Jacket Navy & 5 Stripe Hoodie & Van Gogh Exhibit!

 

I'm pretty excited about today's fit review. I'm still on a rainbow kick because of #pridemonth but seriously, give me rainbows all year round. This world needs some cheering up and yes I also love Care Bears. 😂 Hashtag 80schild. 

This is the second part of my Aviator Nation haul. If you missed part one, check it out here.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and wear size XS in Aviator Nation. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops. 



This is my third Aviator Nation hoodie so I won't get into too much detail. I just can't over how comfortable they are, and I basically live in them ever since they arrived. I'm wearing size XS and love the fit on my petite frame. I'm hoping that this will be my last Aviator Nation hoodie for a while, at least the full zip ones. I really want to try their other pullovers because I'm pretty sure I'll love them just as much. I've also been thinking about getting a pair of their sweatpants to try. A little on the fence because of the length. I'm pretty sure it will be too long but I'm still curious. 



The moment I saw this jacket I had to try it. I opted for Navy over Snorkel. Snorkel would have been fabulous if I had blonde hair though. The color has the softest sherpa lining. I think it's sherpa it doesn't actually say. The insulation is Primaloft. The outside has a coat of water repellant which I'm kind of excited to try. It's too hot here right now, so I'm still waiting to wear this out. It definitely feels like it is a warm but lightweight jacket. I am 100 percent obsessed. I'm wearing size XS which is the same size as the hoodie. 






There are two pockets on the outside that can be zipped up. The zippers are gold and high quality. The AN logo on the front is embroidered. The upper sleeves do poof out at times but I think it might be because it's new and not broken in yet. The model shots also show some with the same kind of poof. I love this jacket so it's a keeper. While this is a gorgeous jacket, I don't think I'd be willing to shell out money for a second one though. 



There is an inside pocket.

I love the detail on this zipper!

In other news, I went to the VanGogh Immersive Experience at Pullman Yards. It's a traveling exhibit and I think it's totally worth checking out if you're near any of the cities it's going to. I splurged on the VIP tickets but I'm not sure it was totally worth it. You do get to skip a longer line and we were escorted faster into the exhibit but the only major difference was the VR experience at the end which I didn't think was worth the price difference. You also get a free poster of Starry Night. Here are some photos I took. The exhibit took me about two hours to get through but I really stopped and read everything and spent a lot of time letting everything sink in. If you're a fan of Van Gogh, it's definitely worth it.










Happy Monday!

  1. I totally enjoyed the Van Gogh Immersive experience and it was last August when we went in Toronto. Thinking of going to a Claude Monet one later.

    The AN jacket is cool and the rainbow colors really stand out with a navy background. Size XS fits you well and even the sleeve length is good. It’s expensive but definitely a keeper!

    1. Ohhhh I would love to go to a Monet one! I have to see if that's coming here. Definitely one of my favorite artists.

      Thanks!! I've gotta go on an AN ban soon... lol.

  2. Cute hoodie and jacket on you! I’m still loving my AN Bolt hoodie in red and black.

    Thanks for the Van Gogh experience exhibit pictures! I have tickets to go in November to the Washington, DC location and am looking forward to it.

    1. Thanks Jenny! I am really loving all of my AN purchases so far. It's dangerous because I have not returned a single thing I bought.

      Enjoy! November is so far away it seems like but I know it'll be here before you know it.

  3. hi Leslie, Thanks for the Aviator Nations fit reviews! I like the retro colours! The hoodies, T shirt and jacket all fit you well!

  4. Ok your review of the jacket sold me. I had a similar style one in high school that I loved; had to give this a try. I’ve never ordered from AN before! Got two sweatshirts (the charcoal zip 5 stripe and the charcoal crew with neon on sleeve) and the same jacket as you but in black - I don’t think I should keep all 3 but… maybe it will be a new job present to myself. We shall see!

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 a love/hate relationship with c

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. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.
