Petite Impact

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I'm thankful for being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family this week. I'm sad my husband isn't with me though. I miss him and the kitties so much. Thankful I got to see some of my friends back in NYC. Thankful I got to eat some more of my grandma's cooking. She's 95 years old and is still going. Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving and ready to do some Black Friday shopping. Ebates cash back is pretty insane right now. If you haven't signed up, now would be a really good time to do so. Some stores are offering 14% cash back. Today I have for you this super cute velvet backpack that's the perfect size if you're petite. It doesn't look huge and actually looks like a normal sized backpack on me. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. This Rebecca Minkoff bag is made out of crushed velvet. It's super soft to touch. What's nice about the crushed velvet is the textures

Happy Friday! I've got a slightly different review for you all today. I've been looking for a new pair of shoes for a while for work and haven't had any luck all summer. Since the weather is now cooler I switched my focus from sandals to booties and found an amazing pair by Sam Edelman. I have a few requirements when it comes to footwear. They must be comfortable and by this I mean they have to be something I can wear all day with ease. I don't have a job where I have to stand a lot, but I do walk quite a bit around the office. Even though I'm short and can use any extra height I can get, the heel can not be any higher than 1.5 inches. I don't have high tolerance for foot pain. Actually scratch that.  Let's actually make it zero tolerance for foot pain because I'm a big baby. Lastly, it needs to be versatile enough that I can wear it with any of my work pants and yet casual enough for jeans and possibly leggings. I have found the perfect pair! Dru

Quick try on review for you guys. I went to the store to see the radiant multi print in person. It is really really gorgeous! The only reason I didn't purchase is because I'm not a fan of full on luxtreme. If these came out in nulux or nulu? Totally mine. Wunder Under Hi-Rise Tight Fullux Radiant Multi This isn't a digital print, so each pair was slightly different. It's one of those where I would buy a few to pick out the best print placement. The one I'm trying on is more pink in the front and very dark in the back. The lining on the inside is a light gray. In the deep bend the fabric stretches out to white.  If you are a fan of Wunder Unders in full on luxtreme, these are true to size and I'm wearing my usual size 4. The length of these are 28 inches which means they are too long for petites and I have them folded up underneath. Please lulu gods, send a pair of these in Aligns in the next upload! Thanks! Wunder Under Hi-R

Just for some background, in the past I could never run more than 3 miles at a time. I've tried different kinds of running shoes and nothing really helped. I would always get these calluses under my big toe that would be super painful any time I tried to run more than 5 miles a week. Finally someone on agentathletica's blog suggested I try different kind of socks.  I was a bit skeptical that I would even find a pair of socks that would even fit my tiny feet. I wear a size 5 in shoes. I'm on the very small side when it comes to any kind of footwear for women. But I thought I would give these socks a try since I was training for a 10K.  Feetures Elite Max Cushion No Show Tab! These come in three sizes, small, medium, and large. Size small fits 4-6.5 size shoes. A medium fits 7-9.5 shoe. Anything bigger than that and you're in the size large category.  These socks are thick and cushiony. Much better than any other sock I've ever bought. The

Go Lightly Backpack Mesh Mini Jaded A few months ago, I ordered the regular sized Go Lightly Backpack and returned it after seeing it was too big for my small frame. When a mini version came out, it looked super cute on the model so I wanted to give it try. The size of this bag is 13.5 inches high, 9 inches wide and 5 inches deep. From the side, the backpack looks small, especially when it isn't stuffed full with things. From the back however, it still looks like a regular sized backpack on me. (For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.)  The outside of the bag is entirely mesh and overall a very lightweight bag. There is a two way zipper and inside there's a pocket to hold a water bottle. I use S'well bottles and was pretty excited about this. However, the opening is very tight with not a lot of stretch to it. I actually had a hard time slipping my regular size (17oz bottle) in it. But once I did manage to slip the bottle in, the fit was

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Just wanted to post a quick review on this Athleta top I purchased. Unfortunately it's currently sold out online. I'm wearing size XXS. This is a very loose fitting top. I would say it runs big but I don't mind loose tops for summer. I really love the back criss cross detail which is also what gives it a nice drape. This is one of those tops I want to live in. Material is super soft and while it is also a bit see-through, it doesn't bother me. This is definitely a great top for casual wear. I do not think I would ever work out in this.  Currently, Athlete still has a great sale going on. They are also giving an extra 20% off sale items with code EXTRA20. Ends tomorrow though!  I also took a look at Athleta's newest offerings, and they have some really cute stuff. Here are my picks.
