Fit Review! Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe


Happy Friday and Happy August! A few months ago, I asked around for everyone's favorite walking shoe, and a lot of people answered Brooks. I perused their website and decided on a pair of Ghost 16 running shoe. It was actually quite hard for me to find a pair that I liked. Brooks colors and designs are not really my style, but I finally found a pair that was passable.

For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds and across many other brands.



The color reminds me of a peachy pink. It's a neutral color and actually goes with a lot of my summer outfits. The magenta accent color draws the eye in for a closer look. There's very little branding on the shoe, just small lettering on the side. 


The shoes have a mesh upper for ventilation. There's a nice amount of padding around the tongue and shoe opening. The laces are soft and they do not come undone which is great.  



I've worn these for about two weeks now and they're a very neutral shoe. Not a lot of cushion at all, I would say these have very minimal cushion. I purchased these in my normal shoe size and they are true to size. The toe box is wide, which makes it comfortable to walk in. That said, they're not very responsive. It's a very boring kind of shoe. 😆 Especially comparing it to Beyondfeel Running shoe and On Cloudmonster Void. Now those are fun shoes. Very cushiony and bouncy. 


I would say these are fine for long walks, but I would not like these for running at all. I bought these on sale for $99 and I'll wear them, but they are quite boring if I'm being honest!


I am curious what others think about Brooks and Ghost 16 if you have tried them. That's all for today! Hope you have a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the last month of summer. It's going to go by quick!

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.
