Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket

Happy Friday! Have I mentioned how much I am loving Banana Republic's fall collection? I'm really impressed with the direction they have taken lately. It reminds me of their golden era in the 90s and 2000s. They've gone back to using high quality fabrics and the designs have been very on trend without being too trendy. I love that they've brought back some of their heritage pieces. Last week at the store, the Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket caught my eye.

For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XSS/XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon.

 


One thing I will note, a lot of their items are not available in petite sizing. They do offer size XXS which sometimes can work. For this jacket I am wearing size XS. The length of the jacket is perfect. It has a boxy fit, but it still works on my petite frame. 


This jacket is oversized. Size XS looks very similar to how it fits on the model. The sleeves are a bit long on me, but I also love the sleeve detail. The hood offers a lot of coverage and has drawstrings. 


The corduroy is super soft and has a nice hand feel. I also love the pockets! The jacket has a zip front with snap closures. Price is $250 but I was able to get it with the 30% off promo they had going on. BR has sales pretty often, similar to Athleta. If it's not on sale now, just wait a bit. 


The inside lining was the thing that made me pull the trigger. It is so soft and filled with extra insulation. I can't wait for the temperature to drop some more so I can wear this out! I did place an order for two more items. I have the Herringbone Jaquard Sailor Sweater and the Heritage Suede Jacket (most likely returning because it's going to be too big on my frame but I am dying to see it in person).


That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

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 ...

  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.
