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.

Seasoft Short Smoky Rose Size XS (on sale $45!) I'm wearing size XS and it's true to size. It looks exactly like the models on the site. That said, the front and side profile looks very flattering. However it doesn't do anything for my backside. Makes it look a bit flat, which is fine since I wear a lot of longer tops when I wear shorts, so most of my bum is covered anyway.  Waistband is super comfortable and hits below my belly button. Seasoft fabric is extremely soft and cozy. Adjustable drawstring at the waist and has pockets! I loved the sho...
