Fit Review Friday! Allure Shirt Jacket and Endless Bomber Jacket

  Happy Friday! It's currently 67 degrees this morning and False Fall is in the air. The high is still mid 80s today, but it sure does feel nice and cool when I leave the house. I'm definitely ready for fall. I'm looking to refresh my wardrobe with a few pieces. At the moment, Athleta really has my attention with their current offerings.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon tops.  Allure Shirt Jacket Bone Petite XS This  Allure Shirt Jacket  reminds me of Frank & Eileen but half the price. I've been looking for a Shacket the last couple of years but until this one came around, they all looked too oversized on my petite frame. The Allure Shirt Jacket is semi-oversized but still looks flattering. I absolutely love how it drapes so easily. The fabric is smooth and soft. It's feels really comfortable on.  I'm wearing size Petite XS and love the length. The sleeves are too ...

New Releases Week of August 20 2024

Not much of a drop today. I am happy to see more Spacer items back for the fall, but hoping to see it in a full zip hoodie. I'm trying to stay away from more pullovers. I have way too many! I do like Slate Brown, I think it has a lot of potential and it looks great in the  Always Effortless Jacket . Nothing for me this week! I did place a rather large Athleta order. They definitely have my attention these days!  P.S. Husband dropped some comments below. 😆 Always Effortless Jacket Slate Brown Da Husband: This looks like it was inspired by Sonya from the "Mortal Combat" series of games. Is the model taking a hike or preparing to break down a door with the SWAT team? Full Flourish Pullover Espresso (Even though they made some changes to this pullover, I am happy to see it back. If anyone wants to see my fit review from three years ago, here it is !) Da Husband: I'm confused. Is the area in the middle the waistband of the pants or the bottom part of the sweater. I feel...

Review! The Craziest Bag I Ever Bought - Polène PaÏ Limited Edition

When I first saw this bag, I thought "Wow, that is so weird looking, but at the same time it's really cool!" I am drawn to the unique and the weird. This bag is limited edition and only 100 of these exist in the entire world. While it looks like a stack of hay, it's a functional bag! Why carry a bag when you can carry a work of art? I always loved this quote by Oscar Wilde, "One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art". For reference i'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Polène PaÏ Cognac This unique bag can be carried a few different ways. It can be carried as a clutch since the straps are removable. I prefer carrying it crossbody to keep my hands free. Plus the raffia is quite delicate and needs to be handled with care. I go over care instructions in more detail in my video. How crazy/unique does this look? Lastly, you can double up the straps and carry it over the shoulder, which I admit is a cute look. This bag isn't meant for everyday ...

Fit Review Friday! Athleta Seasoft Crewneck Sweatshirt, Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie, and Celestial High Rise Utility Pant

Happy Friday! I'm back with another Fit Review Friday. I actually miss doing these. It's been a little while since my last one. I placed this Athleta order during their last sale.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie Smoky Rose Size XXS Celestial High Rise Utility Pant Feather Size PXS Smoky Rose and Heather look really pretty paired together. And that's all that I liked about this outfit. 😆 Since the  Celestial High Rise Utility Pant is so baggy on me, the bubble hem top just did not work with it. A fitted top would have looked better with these pants.  Seasoft Bubble Hem Hoodie Smoky Rose Size XXS The Seasoft fabric is one of my favorites. It's slightly thinner than Lululemon's Softstreme, but honestly Seasoft is more of an all year round weight. I find Softstreme to be too heavy for summer temperatures, but I can still wear my Seasoft pants in t...
