Fit Request Friday! Athleta Arrival Jacket & Memorial Day Event! Up to 60% Off + Extra 30% Off Sale



Happy Friday! I received a fit request for the Arrival Jacket a little while ago, apologies for taking a while to get the review up. The package was stuck for a week in Illinois! There's also an amazing Athleta sale happening this weekend. I will post my picks from the sale after the review. In other news, I'm in New York at the moment, so expect to see a food post soon! 😅

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4 in Lululemon tops.

also wearing Transcend Stash Straight Leg Pant (on sale!)
(I recommend sizing up, they run small.)


I'm wearing size Petite XS and it does run a little large, the sleeves are very long on me. It's a little boxy and slightly oversized. The length hits at my hip and it's very generous in the body. I could easily layer underneath this jacket without any issues. 


I am loving all the details on this jacket, especially the slight ruching along the back of the sleeves. The fabric has a slightly crinkled texture and it's also a little bit shiny. It definitely has a sheen to it. This is a lightweight jacket that's perfect for spring and summer nights. It's super soft to touch. 


I also love the double layered look in the back with an adjustable bungie cord to customize the fit and look. 




The color Dark Adonis blue is very vibrant. It's a combination of blue and purple, but more on the purple side. The below photo is a good example of the jacket's sheen. 



The inside has a thin mesh lining. The color is really pretty, just not for me. This jacket is only available in two colors - Dark Adonis Blue and black. Between the two colors, I would probably go for black, but neither color really appeals to me. I am hoping Athleta will release more colors in this jacket because I really do love all the amazing details! The price is $149, which is a little steep but Athleta usually has decent sales and coupons and I think this jacket is worth $100-$125 range. This jacket gets a thumbs up from me, but I'm waiting for a different color.


That's it for me! Hope you all have a great weekend! Happy Memorial Day!

  1. Thank you for the review on the Arrival Jacket. I'm glad you noted that it runs large. I think the length of the sleeves would piss me off, LOL. I do love that Dark Adonis Blue though!

    Canada had their big Athleta sale last weekend, and I indulged in the Wayfarer Bomber Jacket, and the Air Out Cinch Tee. Hopefully, everything will fit!

    Have a great weekend!

    1. Hi Lola! Yeah the sleeves were pretty ridiculous. I don't mind folding them up though.

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...
