New Releases Week of September 19th 2023

Well, this was somewhat of a small and disappointing drop except for the Scuba Oversized Full-Zip in Dramatic Magenta! A few items from Athleta and Vuori caught my eye and I may or may not be placing an order. Let me know if there's a fit review you would like to see. Drop me a note in the comments below. Did you order anything this week?

(I do think I will be ordering this though!)











 New From Athleta


I love Athleta sweaters, and Nightfall Purple is right up my alley!


New Arrivals From Vuori




(This is pretty cute!)

(I love this color too, Vuori order may be in my future.)

  1. Hi Leslie,
    The Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Dramatic Magenta is super pretty but I'm not a fan of cropped hoodie and it's kind of boxy. :( If this gorgeous color is released in the Scuba Oversized Funnel-Neck Full Zip, I'll definitely give it a try!

    I'm kind of interested in the Looped Terry Fleece Half Zip Hoodie Bone because of the high neck. Not sure it if will look too cropped on me though.

    1. Hi Andrea! Dramatic Magenta looks amazing. I can't wait to get it. I hope it gets released in the Funnel-Neck Full Zip for you!

      I looked at the Looped Terry Fleece Half Zip, if you get your usual size 2, it might hit your hip bone on you, not sure if that's too cropped for your tastes.

    2. Thanks, Leslie! It might be too short for my liking …

      I might drop by a LLL store this weekend and if they do have the Looped Terry Fleece Half Zip in stock, I will let you know how it fits on me.

  2. Nothing for me this week! I much prefer spring/summer colors, so I don't tend to buy quite as much in fall/winter.

    I do actually like the style of the Define Relaxed-Fit Jacket, but I really hate Luon. I wish the entire jacket was Swift.

    1. Hi LZ! Ah I am the opposite. Love fall/winter clothes.

      Have you tried on the Define Relaxed Fit Jacket? Wondering if it would just be too oversized for us petites. But I agree, I am not a fan of Luon either.

    2. No - I haven't tried it. I think because it's oversized and long, it would be too overwhelming for me.

  3. Hi Leslie. Thanks for the post. I love magenta purple as well.
    The relaxed fit define is a great idea on their part. I normally stay away from black but the gold zipper on it makes it look really sharp.
    As for Vuori have any of their pants worked for you or is petite friendly besides the performance joggers? Cindy

    1. Hi Cindy, the Miles Ankle Pant is totally petite friendly. I just wasn't a fan of the fabric, but that's personal preference. Not sure if you saw that review.

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 ...

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.
