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. 




A few close ups of all the details.


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!

    The Van Gogh Immersive Experience looks interesting. I've never been to one before and appreciate your pics! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Karen! Thank you! I'm really happy to have tried AN although my wallet is not!

  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!

    1. Hi Shannon! Woo hoo! I'm excited to hear if you love it as much as I do. Let me know what you think of the crew because there is one I'm eyeing... Congratulations on getting a new job! Definitely something to celebrate! =D

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
