New Releases Week of October 22nd 2024

Twilight Rose is back and I'm not mad about it! Especially with Rose Gold?! OMG. Please gimme more! This was definitely a weird drop, Diamond Dye items are also back. Lots of new bags as well. I kinda like that plush fleece EBB in Strawberry Milkshake because I love all things soft. But how do we feel about EBBs these days? I don't see as many people walking around with one, but still plenty for sure. I still wear mine occasionally, but for the most part I'm carrying my purses.

Athleta dropped a new line called Softluxe. I'm intrigued! Did you get anything? What did you think of today's drop? 


OMG! 😍

(Dang, kinda wish I held off buying my AEJ Jacket in Bone!)

(Can we get this in a full zip hoodie?!)








(Diamond Dye is back?!)


LOTS Of New Bags!

(This is so cute, and I would love the fleece, but are we all tired of EBBs?)


(Not sure about this, it looks plastic-y?)







New From Athleta

  1. I saw the plush fleece strawberry milkshake EBB in store and it totally caught my eye!! It’s so soft and cute but not something I’d use often so I’d only get on markdown or unless I had an outfit (themed) I wanted to pair with it. I love twilight rose and rose gold together. I’m so excited about the like a cloud bra for A/B cups! I might order that to try. I never tried the C/D version but I feel im too small to bother.
    My align v waist came and I am definitely a size 4! (I used to be a solid 2 but I think I’ve gotten bigger) It fits really well so far and I haven’t used it to workout and only tried it on in my room. The waist does run smaller I think cause of the thin elastic at the V. I’ll report back once I use it :D

    2. Hi Janessa! I think it's great they are finally releasing Like A Cloud to smaller cups. I may have to give it a try but will wait and see if there are other styles.

      I think they are making the sizes smaller to accommodate the tweens.

      I am trying really hard not to the same item in multiple colors. I feel yah!

  2. That Twilight Rose Define Jacket is BEAUTIFUL, but I already have a couple of Define Jackets I never wear, so it's definitely a no-go for me.

    I actually liked a few things this week. I like the look of the Do The Twist Tank, but I've got sticker shock for that one. I might try the All It Takes Tank in Nightfall - the price is more palatable :)

    I could be wrong, but I think Athleta's SoftLuxe fabric might be a rebrand of the Uptempo fabric from a couple of years ago. If it is, I'm intrigued. It's Vuori Dreamknit-esque.

    1. Hi Lola! It is beautiful, no denying that. But I'm with you, I wouldn't reach for it in my closet either. I just have to admire it.

      The Do The Twist Tank is pretty, I would need to see it in person to see if I would be willing to pay the price.

      Ahhh I vaguely remember the Uptempo fabric. I had one top a while back. Will try and stop by a store.

  3. Isn't the Define pretty??

    I've passed up the plush fleece strawberry milkshake EBB twice in-store and think I can hold strong. It's so cute, and I do still use my black EBB daily, but I don't need to replace my black one. Plus, I'm worried how the plush fleece will wash...and it's $68! The regular pink fleece one went on markdown last year, so maybe this one will, as well.

    I don't like the Deep Lux bag. It looks like something that ends up at Ross.

    1. Define is gorgeous!! Haven't seen a better color combo in a while.

      I caved and bought the EBB. I need to see it in person. Maybe I'll return it if it's not love at first sight.

    2. Oooh please post your review! You might sway me after all... :)

  4. I adore the AEJ in Twilight Rose! Sadly I’ve got the AEJ in Taupetastic and Oily Grey already …. I do have a tendency in buying multiple colors in the styles I like though LOL.

    Nothing from LLL but I did get the Cozy Karma Twist Neck Sweatshirt in Iris (the last one, or very likely the only one, in size XXS) from Athleta, and it’s such a gorgeous color! I fell in love with this sweatshirt last year and my collection keeps growing. So far I’ve got it in six colors! I just love everything with a tall neck. : D

    1. Hi Andrea! Haha, I do too, I have like 10 pairs of Vuori's Performance Joggers. But I do wear them all the time so I guess it's worth it (sometimes!).

      Iris is really pretty! Glad you got one! The Cozy Karma line is super soft and warm. Wish they would release something in a zip up!

    2. Hi Leslie,
      They did! The new Cozy Karma 1/2 Zip Sweatshirt showed up on the Canadian site recently!

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.
