New Releases Week of March 18th 2025

So I ended up breaking my No Buy Challenge for Athleta's Retreat Linen Mid Rise Short. They're still currently half off and the Friends & Family Event has now opened up to everyone. I'll keep you all posted if I end up keeping the shorts or not. 

Today's drop has a lot of Sonic Teal. I kind of like it with the gold zipper. But not in the mood for thick hoodies anymore, it's finally starting to warm up in Atlanta and I've already started wearing my thinner hoodies. Nothing for me as I slink back into my No Buy mode. We're more than halfway through the month and I want to finish up strong. 



(This looks really pretty!)


(Really wish they didn't have the branding front and center. 😕)





(This is interesting but definitely not for me. What are your thoughts on this set?)

  1. I like the ravaged by a lion look, personally I can’t pull it off, but I’m sure it looks really nice on others! I also like how it’s a twist on the peep holes/slits in leggings look, but just migrated north now.

  2. I like the top of the Cutout bra, but the bottom looks like it ripped or something. The leggings are cute but not for me either.

    I saw Sonic Teal in person on Monday, and it's really pretty! If I didn't already have Storm Teal in a bra and Swiftly, I would pick up that set. Maybe on sale later...

    1. Hi LZ! Ohhh if I stop by the store this weekend I'll keep an eye out for Sonic Teal. It looks great for spring.

      I like the top more than the bottom too for the Cutout line.

  3. Sonic Teal is really pretty! I'm not tempted this week though.

    I also broke my no buy last weekend when Forever 21 announced they were closing. My daughter loves their cargo jean shorts. She wears them every day in the summer. So, she asked me to get her a few pairs. Everything was 70-80% off, so I'm sorry to say that in my hunt to find the shorts and a few fun Hello Kitty items for her, a few things for myself fell into my basket. A Hello Kitty ghost sweatshirt (so cute for school!) Some fun keychains for purse accessories, a pair of jeans and a necklace. I really made myself think it over though and deleted a couple of items before checking out. At least I was more mindful in my purchases and less impulsive. Trying to be really good for the rest of the month now!! :)

    1. Hi Stacy! Still amazing that you were more mindful about what you were buying and you thought about it before checking out. I take that as a win. I did the same thing with the shorts. I was almost going to get a linen top to go with, but decided not to.

      Good job!! Just 12 more days until April. =)

  4. I really like the sheer oak color! It’s a nice beige brown color that isn’t too nude and I would like some things in it like a hat and I like it in the Shake it Out running shorts. I haven’t tried it but I like how it looks like a skort -Janessa

    1. Hi Janessa! I'll keep an eye out for the shorts and do a fit review at the store!

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...
