New Releases Week of July 30th 2024

Hi everyone, Leslie's husband here again, covering this week's drop. Firstly, thank you all for your comments on my previous post. More importantly, I'm really happy to see so many of you offering your condolences to Leslie. Her grandma was the most important person in her life and I've always been fine playing second fiddle to her, as she was an amazing person and caretaker. I will admit it feels weird covering this, since I'm strictly a jeans, t-shirt, and hoodie kind of guy, but I'm willing to give it a go.    Softstreme HR Midi Skirt Rose Blush Not sure I'm feeling the pink, which apparently is the new color for this drop. The skirt look "business friendly" and given the few Lululemon items I own, some of their items are good compromise pieces; professional looking enough for the office, but still comfy. Hotty Hot HR Short 2.5" Mojave Tan Always Effortless Jacket Rose Blush The layers are too busy personally, but the model looks like the a

Now for something a little different.

Hi everyone. Leslie's husband here. As you saw in the last post, Leslie is in NYC as her grandma entered hospice care. Unfortunately, on Saturday night, she passed away at 101 (at least we think she was 101). Why do I say "we think"? Because when Leslie's grandma was born, record keeping in China either wasn't really a thing or the records were lost when Japan bombed China in the 1930s. She could've been older than 101 or she could've been just shy of 100, but the consensus is that she was 101. I've met Leslie's grandma over 30 years ago and while she did a ton of things for the family as a whole, she was Leslie's main caretaker and they shared a lot of similar personality traits. If you know Leslie personally, you'll know that she laughs at everything and anything and that comes directly from her grandma. Grandma was always cracking jokes, always laughing, and more importantly, always wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. I'

I'm In NYC Plus Athleta Sale 25% off Everything!

Hi everyone! You may be wondering why there's no Fit Review Friday. I'm currently in NY because my grandma is not doing well. She's 101 which is so amazing. She is my favorite person and my heart is broken to see her at this stage in life. When she hit 85 I started preparing myself but you can never be prepared for something like this. It is gut wrenching and hard to look at, hard to endure hearing her mumble. This is the first time I'm losing someone this close to me. I was raised by her for 35 years. 😢 I am honestly not sure how long I'll be in NY for. I won't have a fit review until I get back to Atlanta. It'll be hard for me to focus on anything else, so I may not be posting much. I don't mean to be such a downer for a Friday. I'm sorry.  I'm not very much in the mood for shopping, but Athleta is having a sale - 25% off everything! Here are my picks.   Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie (I ordered this before I left for NY) Pranayama Restore Rib Wrap

New Releases Week of July 23rd 2024

Sorry I'm running late today, but doesn't look like I missed much. I kinda like how the  Cityverse Canvas Sneaker  looks in Jade Gray and I'm not usually a green person. I'm tempted to try it.  Did you get anything?    Relaxed Fit Boatneck T-Shirt Bone Hold Tight LS Henley True Navy Brunswick Muscle Tank Sheer Stripe Black Swiftly Tech Racerback Tank Gray Eucalyptus Ultralight Waist Length Tank Top Ideal Mint Swiftly Tank Waist Length Gray Eucalyptus Brushed Softstreme Ribbed 1/2 Zip Riverstone Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie Black/Gold Always Effortless Jacket Gray Eucalyptus Align Short 6" Legacy Green Hotty Hot HR Short 2.5" Yellow Serpentine     Align HR Crop 23" Ideal Mint Cityverse Canvas Sneaker Jade Gray

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
