New Review! My Christmas Present to Myself! The Mirus Puffy by Mila.Jito

I'm super excited about this review! It's my Christmas present to myself. Actually, this was supposed to be my birthday present but it arrived really early. This is a Mila.Jito bag and it's my very first bespoke handbag. It's one of a kind, at least until someone else requests the same exact bag as mine. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.  The Mirus Puffy 😍 Before I dive into this review, let me give a little backstory. Originally, I wanted a Birkin and I was saving up for one. If you're in the handbag community, the Birkin is considered a "holy grail" for so many. If you're unfamiliar with the Birkin, it's completely hand stitched using the saddle stitch method and takes about 40 hours to make. I got to see one in person back in February when I visited Fashionphile's flagship store in New York. It was a Birkin 30 in gold Barenia Faubourg leather. 😍 Don't get me wrong, I love the look, love the color, love the leather. It...

It's A Wrap! Best Purchases of 2024!

I can't believe 2024 is pretty much over. Not going to lie, this year was hard for me. Especially the last half of the year. In July I lost my grandma who was like a mother to me. So, I did a lot of therapy shopping. Like A LOT. Mostly on bags. Retail therapy at it's finest. I decided for 2025, I really want to cut back on the purchases. And I'll kick off January with a hard spending freeze. Some people need a Dry January, I need a No Spend January. I really want to be more selective in 2025 and onwards. Do I really need it? Probably not. And I know my blog is all about reviews. I'll still review items. I just have to find a balance. Maybe I visit stores more often to do try-ons. I'll figure it out. Here are my best purchases from 2024. Definitely leave me a comment below on what your favorite purchases were from 2024. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Not in any particular order, we will start with the best pair of jeans I ever bought. One of my goals fo...

New Releases Week of December 17th 2024

A little odd that we're a week from Christmas and not many holiday items at all. It's weird, right? I mean my wallet is happy about it. They brought back the  Softstreme Cinch Waist Full Zip Jacket  but it doesn't look as cute as the original. Feel like the missing drawstrings just makes it look too plain. Does anyone have or tried the  Scuba MR Oversized Jogger Short ? Curious if the length is short enough for us on the shorter side of petite.  Wunder Under Jacket Solar Gray/Rhino Gray Softstreme Cinch Waist Full Zip Jacket Espresso Waffle Knit Crewneck LS Shirt Mojave Tan/Bone Scuba Oversized Pullover Wordmark True Navy Swiftly Tank Waist Length Dilute Wash Soft Earth Ebb To Street Cropped Tank Passionate Dance Studio MR Jogger 7/8 Length Crater Blue Cold Weather HR Running Jogger Garnet (Pricey! $198!)
