New Review - Summer Tees! Banana Republic Vintage Cotton Crew Tee and Anthropologie Evan Short Sleeve Raw Edge Baby Tee

 


Happy Friday! I cannot believe it's mid May. It's really starting to feel like summer in Atlanta right now. It's 80s and muggy. 😅 I went shopping for a couple of new summer tees and found some in Banana Republic and Anthropologie!

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. 

Banana Republic Vintage Cotton Crew T-Shirt Palm Tree Print
Size Medium


I know, I'm just as surprised as you are, I am wearing size Medium in this tee. I normally wear size XS in Banana Republic but this tee runs very small. It is a slim fit t-shirt and when I looked at the cuffs on the short sleeve, I knew I needed to size up. I love the ringer tee look with the contrast collar and cuffs. Gives it a very 70s vibe. This tee is 100% cotton and it feels really soft. The length hits at the hip on me and would look great with a pair of summer shorts. I really dig the palm trees! 


Next, I went into Anthropologie to browse and saw this baby tee and could not believe how soft it felt. The fitting room pics do not do this tee justice. Normally, I am not into baby tees at all, but decided to try it on in size large, to see if it would fit me like a regular tee.

I am wearing size Large!!


And yes, size large fit me like a regular tee. I have no idea why baby tees are in again, but thankfully I can just size up by three sizes and it looks normal. 😂 If this tee didn't feel as soft as it did, I probably wouldn't have tried it on at all. 


This tee comes in a lot of colors, but my favorite is Taupe and Sky. It's a thin tee with raw edges, but I am in love with it. The lesson I learned is to just try it on and size up if you have to! Sometimes it works out. 


Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 😍

    This is a good reminder to pay attention to the fit, not the size in the tag!

    The shirts both look great on you.

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 Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5. Definitely size down. I've partnered up with Allbirds! Super excited to share my  personal link . Click on  my link  for a 15% off.
