New Releases Week of January 20th 2026

If you have the Lululemon app, the Lunar items dropped today, early access only though. I took a screen shot for anyone that doesn't have the app. You can open the image in a new tab to enlarge it. I didn't see anything particularly tempting. If that's all we're getting I think I'm good. 😅 

What I'm most excited about are the new Shinola bags! That crossbody is calling my name. Anything for you this week? 

 









New From Varley

(This is very Anthro.)



(This might be my next bag!)


New From Banana Republic


(I don't usually go for stripes, but this is cute.)

  1. I might have been tempted by a pair of leggings in the red and black pattern. It kind of reminds me of unicorn tears. Everything else is sadly very meh.

    1. Ah yes, that's why it looked familiar to me. That pattern looks good in red and black.

  2. I'm underwhelmed by the LNY collection each year. I look forward to it, but there a limited items I actually end up liking. I only ordered the ivory pullover scuba this year. Last year I got the Cityverse. I don't know what I'm expecting. If it was amazing, I would let myself get everything I wanted, though.

    I usually don't love patterns, but this one with the subtle horses is pretty cool. I think it is easiest to see on the Aligns.

    1. Hi LZ! Same, I am always disappointed with LNY items. Is it just me or do you really have to squint to make out horses? LOL.

    2. Haha no not just you! They are very subtle.

    3. Oh! I thought it was just an abstract design. Didn't even know there's a horse print until you mentioned it.

    4. Omg, same!! I probably wouldn't have seen them unless you pointed it out. I still have the rabbit ones from few years ago. Tags on. I can't decide if I should sell them or make them part of my Queen of Hearts costume. LOL

  3. The heart wristlet is kind of cute with the sharp angles, but I can't imagine I'd get much use out of it. And it seems too bulky to have as a bag charm. Maybe if it goes on super sale? Nothing else interests me, which I guess is good. I had to make my January no-buy into a low buy. I needed an outfit for a themed mother/son dance at school and I ended up buying a pair of shoes in the special edition Ugg Valentine drop this AM. All in all, though, I've done okay so far. I'm going to do another low-buy or no buy next month. I'm feeling good.

  4. Hi Stacy! The belt bag is the only one I would consider getting, but I also have the rabbit belt bag from a couple of years ago. I did use it a lot back then. Now, not so much. I already know I'll have to break my No-Buy challenge this month. I'm going to hold out until the 31st, because that is the last day for a color that I want for a bag before it gets discontinued on Feb 1st! UGH. Oh well.

    1. I've decided it is okay since my main goal was to break the holiday habit of buying and receiving frequent packages, and I feel like I've done that. I've been able to browse much more without feeling the itch of "must buy now."

    2. Isn't it interesting that once you develope that muscle, it really does get easier! Keep it going.

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

  So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos.  The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand   Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

  Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off -  $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.  This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...

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. ...
