New Releases Week of March 21st 2023

In case you missed my story on Instagram, I caught the stomach bug that's been going around and wasn't able to get my usual fit review up for Monday. I'll have it up for Fit Review Friday. Check my IG story for a sneak peak! 😊 I'm very interested in the the Softstreme HR Straight Leg Cropped Pant in Chambray. I think the color would be great for spring and summer. The fabric is little bit on the heavier side and I like to size up for a roomier fit in the waist. Let me know if you got anything from today's drop! 















(I think I may need to get these!)






(The 26" inseam is giving me hope!)

  1. hi Leslie! I'm glad you're feeling better now! I really like the Swiftly Midweight 1/2 Zip LS Shirt in Chambray/Powder Blue, but will have to wait for it to go to WMTM before I purchase. CAD$148+tax is way overpriced for a Swiftly. If you end up getting the Mid Rise Elevation Slim Bootcut Walnut Heather, I'd love to know what you think!

    My Wool Flyer Mizzles have arrived and they're very comfortable and breathable. They do run a little longer than the Tree Dashers 2, but probably not enough to size down. The Tree Dashers 2 still fit me the best!

    1. Hi Karen, Yes these prices are very high. Makes me think twice about what I keep when I order from Lulu. I will be placing a Vuori order soon. There's so much I want to try!

      Yes, the Wool Flyer Mizzles fit me the same way, just a bit too long in the foot, but I still love them. Tree Dasher 2s are the best! I am waiting for another color I really love before I get one more...

  2. You and I have such similar tastes it’s scary. My thoughts exactly about the softstreme chambray crops. Do you own any other colors? And how do you find the fit? I had to get mine shortened to make them more ankle length. Thank goodness for free alterAtions Cindy

    1. Hi Cindy! I have the crops in True Navy. I tried the 4 and the 6 and went with the 6. Here's my review. I prefer full length on me.

  3. I hope your stomach feels better by now! I love the chambray cropped softstreme pants and especially that color! It would match so much for spring and summer. I wear my black ones often.

    1. Hi Janessa! Thanks, I do feel much better today. I wish I had gotten a black pair, I went with navy. I hope they release more Softstreme crops for summer.

    2. They have black in your size . On the Canadian site anyway. Have you seen the velvet dust? I missed out. The chambray is sold out in the small sizes. Cindy

    3. Ohhh it is back in stock in the black! Nice. I did see Velvet Dust but I don't know how wearable that would be. I love the color though.

  4. Easy pass for me this week. Lilac Smoke is pretty, but I don't like Scubas. I'll wait to see if it releases in something else. The Swiftly Midweight 1/2 Zip is nice - but omg the price?? I also think the top of the collar would poke and irritate my neck.

    I tried on the 28" Mini Flares last week and was surprised to really like them. They didn't make my legs look as much like horse legs as I had imagined, lol. They look pretty cropped when holding them up but once on actually fit at the perfect floor length for me.

    1. Hi LZ! Agreed, I don't know why it's $148. That's kind of crazy. True about the collar. I can see that.

      SO lucky you can wear a 28" inseam. Did you end up getting the Mini Flares?

    2. I did! I ordered them in a different color and size down, since we didn't have the exact pair I wanted in store. :)

  5. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Stomach bugs are the absolute worst!

    I'm kind of liking the Softstreme pants in the Chambray too. I already have them in Velvet Dust and I really like them! I was checking them out in Bone also, but my size is sold out already.

    I ordered the Ribbed Softstreme T-Shirt in Bone to try. I'm loving that color right now!

    And I saw your sneak peak. Can't wait to see what you think of it.

    1. Hi Lola! I'm glad I got that stomach bug out of my system. It was awful.

      I was looking at the Ribbed Softstreme T-Shirt, let me know what you think of it and if it's a TTS or Size down item. I love Bone also.

      The jacket is an interesting piece, I'll say that much!

    2. Does anyone know if Canada got the over sized scuba half zip in Lilac smoke? -CalgarySue

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! Aviator Nation Navy Hoodie 5 Stripe

  Is it already Monday? This weekend just flew by. For the first time since early 2020, I met up with a friendly neighbor and we went out for dim sum. At the end we hugged since I hadn't seen her in forever. I told her, "You're the first person I hugged since the pandemic started that isn't my husband!" 😄  For today's post, this is a hoodie I've been dying to try for months but kept putting it off because of the price tag. Aviator Nation is not cheap. Not a whole lot makes me pause because I'm used to seeing Lululemon hoodies priced at $128-$138. Aviator Nation comes in at a whopping $189.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and I am wearing a size XS in Aviator Nation. For Lululemon tops I typically wear a size 4. 5 Stripe Hoodie  Navy Size XS The interesting thing about Aviator Nation is their hoodies are unisex sizing. The available sizes are XS-XXL. The female model is shown wearing size XS while the male model is shown wearing size large. I took a c...
