Fit Review! Banana Republic The Everyday Linen Shirt

Hope you all had a nice weekend! It's so hot here that I have been living in my linen pieces. Linen shorts, linen tops, and linen button-ups. I have a handful of linen pieces from Athleta and a few from Banana Republic. Between the two brands, Banana Republic has some of the nicest linen I've ever felt. 

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS or PXS in Banana Republic and Athleta.

I normally wear hoodies all the time, but now that it is summer, it's too hot for a hoodie. In its place I like to wear a button-up to throw over my summer outfit. I am loving The Everyday Linen Shirt. The linen is super soft and lightweight. I like to wear it over a tank or tee. I'm wearing size XS and the fit is true to size. I love the Natural color and White. Both colors will go with any outfit. I would have bought both except the retail price is $95. It's not terrible, but I am going to wait for a sale. Both colors are saved in my cart and ready to go! Banana Republic also has a short sleeve cropped version that I am interested in as well. I really like the stripes version as it adds a little bit of fun and flair.

That's it for me! Keeping it short and sweet. Have a fabulous Monday! Stay cool.

    Have you ever checked out Quince linen items? Very affordable and very good quality for the price. Same with their cashmere.

      Hi there, I have looked at their website but cannot tell if the returns are free or not. Are you familiar with BR and Quince linen? Curious to see if anyone has a comparison. I've read some reviews and they seem very hit or miss.

      Unfortunately I don't shop at Banana anymore! Too many good and affordable things on Quince. lol The returns/exchanges on Quince are free for up to 365 days, in unwashed/worn condition with tags still attached.

      Good to know! I may give it a shot and see since the returns are free. There is one shirt I am interested in, but the cut doesn't look very petite friendly.

      I've watched youtube reviews of Quince items for petites - some things work, some don't. Sometimes Quince offers 3 different lengths for pants, which is really nice.

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.
