New Releases Week of June 24th 2025

This is a very small drop. Not digging the new set of the month at 40+ years old, but my 20 year old self would have loved it. 😍 I haven't bought a new Swiftly tank in years, but Club Blue caught my eye! I think I'd want to size up if I get it. I'll think about it!    Nulu Bow Detail Mini Skirt Set of the Month Balletcore Mauve Gray (If I was 20 years old again, I'd consider this set. 😆) All It Takes Back Twist Ribbed Short Sleeve Shirt Warm Ash Gray Brush Softstreme Hald Zip Lavender Frost Define Cropped Jacket Nulu Goodnight Plum Nulu Ruched Spaghetti Strap Bra Washed Denim Hold Tight Crewneck Tank Top Waist Length Lavender Frost Nulu Bow Detail Tank Top Set of the Month Balletcore Pink Organza Swiftly Tank 2.0 Waist Length Spandex Stripe Club Blue (I actually quite like this one!) Scuba OS Full Zip Hoodie Mauve Gray (Not sure if this is new, love this color but I can't in 100 degree weather buy this right now!) Daily Multi Pocket Mini Canvas Tote 6.5L Natural/P...

Fit Review! Athleta With Ease Crop Tee and Midday Mid Rise Short Plus Card Member VIP Event 30% Off Sale

I'm back with a new fit review! I went to Athleta today for a quick store try on. I don't know why I waited so long to try the With Ease Crop Tee because it's super soft and comfortable. I'm sad that most of the colors are sold out in my size! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta's tops and bottoms. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon. With Ease Crop Tee Black Size XS Midday Mid Rise Short Repose Trillium Stripe Size XS I'm wearing size XS in the With Ease Crop Tee. It's actually not that cropped on me. The length hits at my hip and I can tuck it in if I want to. Would definitely purchase this top in another color. It's so soft I might want to sleep in it. 😅 It's a perfect summer tee. It's thin and airy and slightly oversized. I've been curious about the Midday Mid Rise Short and it did not disappoint. I'm wearing size XS and the fit is relaxed. The fabric feels crisp and cool, perfect for ho...

This Week's Discussion - Lululemon Price Increase and Newport RI with a Surprise!

Happy Friday! If you read my blog regularly, you know that my Friday posts are themed “Fit Review Friday” but unfortunately with the traveling my husband and I have been doing, I haven’t had time to order anything or visit a store long enough for store try-ons.  But I will admit that Lulu’s latest offerings haven’t left me feeling inspired. Add to that the price increase which Lululemon introduced with this week’s drop, I’m starting to question if what Lulu offers is worth the price. I’m totally aware that price and value are subjective and that I spend more money on bags than nearly any of my friends are willing to spend, but there is something disheartening about not being wow’d by what Lululemon is offering and seeing price increases even before the tariffs hit. What’s going to happen if/when tariffs do take place? I’m curious if anyone else is feeling this way and if so, has another brand piqued your interest? Please let me know in the comments if you've found a Lululemon repla...

New Releases Week of June 17th 2025

Interesting drop. Loving all the Mauve Gray items, but nothing that is screaming at me to buy it. Spotted a price increase for the Define Jacket - up $10. What do you all think? Still worth it? Or will you be pausing and buying only on WMTM? Honestly, I have not spent a lot of money so far this year at Lululemon. According to my spreadsheet, from January 1st to today, I have spent $73.27 at Lulu versus $562.20 at Athleta. I think that's a new low record! 😮 My closet definitely doesn't need more items!  Let me know what you think of today's drop! Lightweight Foldover Waist Jogger Black (I like the look, but do not like the fabric they chose for it.) Mesh Ventilated Tennis Jacket Pink Haze Define Cropped Hooded Jacket Mesh Chilled Grape (Love this color. Also looks like prices are starting to go up! New price is $148.) 😱 Scuba Oversized Funnel Neck Half Zip Long Wash Ash Gray Like A Cloud Spaghetti Strap Bra Washed Blue Double Layered Mesh Reversible Tank Vapor/Citra Lime A...

Review! Lululemon's Fast Track Bag 2.0 in 8L and 9L - What was Lulu Thinking?

  How is everyone doing? I'm finally back with a new review! I was so sure I would keep at least one of these bags, but it turns out, I was so wrong. I normally have a bunch of mod shots, but you really need to see the the video of me trying the bag on, to get a sense of how awkward this bag is in real life. Fast Track Bag 8L Knit Mesh Crater Blue I ordered this bag in the 8L and 9L. Both sizes were great. This bag can fit a lot. It can fit a notebook, a water bottle easily with plenty of room for more. This bag would have been great as a travel bag, which was why I ordered it. I was hoping to use one of these bags for my Boston trip. However, I ended up returning all three bags. I love the mesh fabric, even though it is more delicate and shows wrinkles easily since it's made of spacer material. I love the Crater Blue color. It's a summery blue/green.  Notice the wrinkles. I don't believe they would come out easily. The strap is the biggest issue I have with these b...

I've Been Traveling - Boston Trip

For our tenth wedding anniversary, we wanted to go on a trip to celebrate, but we just couldn't decide on a location. Then Jared's job asked him to go to Boston for a conference and it just happened to be on the same week as our tenth and Boston was where we eloped. So, the decision was made for us! Here are some highlights from our week in Boston. Warm lobster roll at Salty Girl. Clam chowder at Salty Girl. This was the best chowder I ever had! I really love the blue stained glass windows of this church. Church of the Covenant. Boston Public Garden This is probably my favorite place in Boston. The trees are just so beautiful. The weather was almost perfect. It was 70s but very humid! This was in the Liberty Hotel which was a former prison in the 1800s.  It was built in 1851 and turned into the Liberty Hotel in 2007. It was pretty wild to see the structure of the prison in the backdrop of each floor. Now there are kids and families running around. I never heard of this brand Sh...
