Weekend Trip to New York for my Grandma's 100th Birthday

 

I surprised my Grandma this weekend and flew to New York to celebrate her 100th birthday! I'll resume regular posting on Tuesday for the Lululemon drop. Although, Athelta's new arrivals has me way more excited these days.

I arrived at Laguardia Airport late Friday night. It was empty! I had my brother pick me up from the airport and when I walked in my mom started screaming and my grandma was so surprised and happy to see me! So much, that she forgot to take her pills and then she told me the next morning she was so exited she couldn't fall asleep. 

My Grandma with her great-grandson and great-grand daughter.

My sister just had surgery on her gums and couldn't eat anything that was hard, so she ordered Wagyu beef. I tried a piece!

Practically melts in your mouth.

My parents ordered take out from one of their favorite restaurants in Flushing and also cooked a couple of dishes as well. Like this fish dish. 

Chilean Sea Bass - it's so good.

Went to a grocery store near my parent's house and could not believe how expensive scallions are! 😱

Of course, I had to get my dim sum fix before I left! It was a quick 48 hours in New York and seeing my grandma surprised and happy was worth it. I told her I'll visit again soon. 💗


I'm back in Atlanta and I'll see you all on Tuesday for new releases! Have a fantastic Monday!

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. ...

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...
