Upload! June 15th 2021

Wow, what an upload! A ton of Spiced Chai items dropped today, I can't really complain because I've been waiting for this! I placed an order for Perfectly Oversized Crop CrewWide Leg Hi-Rise Crop 19" and Always Effortless Jacket all in Spiced Chai. I got a fit request for the Track That Mid-Rise Short 5" in Tidewater Teal. I wish there was a 3" version so I could do a comparison, but maybe they will release that next week.

This was a pretty decent upload. I'm excited to get my order for all the Spiced Chai goodies! Let me know what you got!

 

Perfectly Oversized Crop Crew Softstreme Spiced Chai

  1. hi Leslie, I think the Perfectly Oversized Crop Crew in Spiced Chai will look great on you! The Wide Leg High Rise Crop 19" looks super soft and drapes nicely on the model. I'm interested, but it's $128 in Canada, too expensive in my opinion. I look forward to your review on the crops! If you like them, I may get them if they go to WMTM. Have a good evening!

    1. Thanks Karen! Yes I'm pretty excited about the Wide Leg Crops... I hope I like them! Haven't bought a pair of new pants in awhile from Lulu.

  2. I couldn't decide between the POCC in spiced chai or the Scuba 1/2! I got the Scuba... but now I'm thinking maybe I should get the POCC because I don't have anything in that material and style! Do you find that the softstreme material holds up well?
    Also both my skirts came in! Pace Rival Tall in TT and Court Rival Reg in Black! I love the TT color as a skirt. It feels happy, is bright but muted and not too loud of a color and the skirt fits high waisted. The back does look an inch and a half longer than I'd prefer but the front looks like a cute mini skirt. I love the ruffles of the CR but I'm not sure about black! I love having neutrals but this style is so playful that the details are lost in the black. Plus the LLL logo is really stark against the black. I haven't decided on which yet. I know I'll get a ton out of a black skirt.... but TT color wins by 100 pts!

    1. Haha, I wish the Scuba 1/2 zip worked for me. Although if it did I'm sure my wallet would be crying. So far my two older Soft Ambitions/Softstreme pullovers have held up well. Some people complain about the water stains but they wash out, it's not permanent. I haven't had any issues with mine. Happy to add a couple more!

      That's great you like the Court Rival and Pace Rival Skirt. Between the two styles which do you prefer? You know I would say Tidewater Teal over black any day... lol!

    2. I am going to reeturn the PR Tall skirt. I love how it looks from the front but from the back and side, there's too much fabric on my frame and my granny said it looks like a bird tail D: haha!! I'm going to keep the CR regular for now... tags are still attached bc I don't like black that much. So far I think my favorite style I've tried is the Play Off The Pleats Skirt. I would like to try a PR Regular length someday. I think for us petite frames, the regular fit is so much more flattering.

    3. I agree, the regular length is more flattering the tall just has too much fabric overall and looks a little bit too much going on.

      I still need to try the CR skirt! it's been hard to get my hands on one!

  3. Just want to give a shoutout to Lulu for their diversity in models on the Speed Up Mid Rise Short 4"!

  4. Once again Canada didn't get everything the us site goy in this upload. Boo. On the bright side, we got some spiced chai too. I bought the half zip scuba (partially due to fomo lol) tho the shade of spiced chai looked darker than on other items/materials. The AEJ in spiced chai is also very nice and caught my eyes...but couldn't justify buying as I already have two AEJ. The LL cloud bra in spiced chai - love that too tho the LL cloud doesn't fit me well. Canada didn't get the POCC in spiced chai :( I look forward to your review on all the spiced chai items!

    1. I did think the Spice Chai looked a little darker on the Scuba 1/2 Zip. You'll have to let me know if it does look more brown based. This is my first AEJ and wasn't sure of the sizing. I ended up going with a size down. Hope it fits!

    2. So! Canada got the spiced chai POCC online today and I ordered it! I will have to make myself pick between that and the scuba (I'm secretly hoping I don't like the chai color on the scuba as much lol). The water stain on softreme - is there anything you can do to remove it other than washing?

      Size down meaning sz 2? I also wear a sz 2 in AEJ and I think you'll like the fit of it! I reckon I can even fit into a sz 0 but chest area might be tight. Tbh I never tried on other sizes than sz 2 in that jacket cos that was all they had on MD lol

      Delete
    3. Oh nice! You'll have to let me know which one you end up keeping. Hmmm not sure. It's very faint after it dries. Sometimes I don't even really notice it. But washing it removes it for sure. I guess it depends on how much it bothers you. Maybe it shows up more on darker colors?

      Yup I ordered a size 2 instead of my usual 4. I hope it isn't too tight in the chest/arms.

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.

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.
