I've Been Traveling - Boston Trip


For our tenth wedding anniversary, we wanted to go on a trip to celebrate, but we just couldn't decide on a location. Then Jared's job asked him to go to Boston for a conference and it just happened to be on the same week as our tenth and Boston was where we eloped. So, the decision was made for us! Here are some highlights from our week in Boston.

Warm lobster roll at Salty Girl.

Clam chowder at Salty Girl. This was the best chowder I ever had!

I really love the blue stained glass windows of this church.
Church of the Covenant.

Boston Public Garden
This is probably my favorite place in Boston.

The trees are just so beautiful.

The weather was almost perfect. It was 70s but very humid!

This was in the Liberty Hotel which was a former prison in the 1800s. 
It was built in 1851 and turned into the Liberty Hotel in 2007.

It was pretty wild to see the structure of the prison in the backdrop of each floor.
Now there are kids and families running around.

I never heard of this brand Shinola, but this crossbody bag had some amazing leather.

Amazing ramen from Hokkaido Ramen Santouka


I'm still traveling and working at the moment, but the next review will be Lululemon's Fast Track Bag, which might be the worst Lululemon bag I've ever reviewed! Stay tuned. With that, have a great weekend!!

      Thanks Cindy! Do you have anything from Shinola? I really like that bag, but it's a little too big. Fantastic leather though!

      I don’t have anything from Shinola but my friend’s sister is a huge fan and that’s how I know of it. That particular bag you posted is just gorgeous and it comes in a mini version I noticed.

      I looked at the mini version but it's only 1L. Definitely too small. I need something in between the two sizes!

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. Or use my Code  PETITEIMPACT15 Tree Glider Natural White Beige/Blizzard Sole  Size 5 I went to visit the Allbirds store in Avalon and got to try these on in person. I love how they use their shoe laces as the handle to carry the shoe box. It's really cool and love how sustainable they are. Even the packaging is well thought ou...
