Petite Impact

  Happy Friday! Finally a proper Fit Review Friday. I haven't been to an Athleta store in so long, that there were tons of new items for me to try. I mainly focused on their Form Knit and Sunday Rib collection. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. I typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. Form Knit Full Zip Gray Heather Size XXS I was very interested in their Form Knit full zip hoodie. The fabric feels soft, yet structured. It's somewhat on the thicker side, and feels high quality. Fit is very oversized. I'm wearing size XXS and it's still really big on me. It does come in petite sizing, but the smallest size is Petite XS. I think I may be sized out in this hoodie. 😔 It's currently on sale for 30% off.  I love the double zipper. Form Knit Crew Sweatshirt Truffle Size XS Next we have the crew sweatshirt in Form Knit and it has a side zipper detail. I'm wearing size XS and I think this has a more flattering cut th...

Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Fire Horse which means this can be a very chaotic and intense year. Horse year has a lot of energy and to tame it down a notch I've been told to neutralize the choas by wearing earth tones; browns, greens, neutrals. 😮 Has anyone else heard this?  Back to today's post. I'm really having a hard time finding items worthy to post about from Lululemon's drop. This is the second week in a row where I am really struggling!  Steady State Superloft Jogger Coconut Ivory Oversized Cocoon Rain Coat Walnut Crunch Steady State OS Pullover Stripe True Navy New From Athleta Stellar Trench Slate Always Ready Jumpsuit Black Move With East Off The Shoulder Top Black (This looks so comfy.) Seasoft Full Zip Zephyr (Not sure if I missed this, but I think it's new. Would be interested to try this on.) Vuori Halo Modern Full Zip Hoodie $78 (Not new, but I do love this hoodie and it's on sale!) Okay story time.  I have been waiting for thi...

  I can't believe I haven't been to Avalon in nearly two months. I have missed walking around and going into all the stores. Before I start this fit review, as I'm walking I could not believe my eyes when I saw there's going to be a Vuori store opening up soon! 😍 Expect more fit reviews from Vuori coming your way. Dreams do come true. 😂 I am too excited for this! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. For Anthropologie I usually fit XS or XXS. Banana Republic I usually choose XS or PXS. I also wear size PXS in Athleta and size 4/6 or XS/S in Lululemon. Anthropologie The Goldie Crewneck Cashmere Sweater Light Rosewood Size XS This cashmere sweater feels super soft. Could not believe how soft this felt. They only had size XS for me to try and it's too big. It is available online in petite sizing. It definitely runs large, I'm guessing I would need a Petite XXS. It's also has a boxy fit, but tucked in and I think it could look cute. I am wearing sweatp...

Happy Friday! A few people asked me to write a post on how to care for your leather bags. Just for some background, I've been collecting bags since 2003. Which will mark 23 years this year. Crazy how time flies. My first bag was  a Icon messenger bag that I bought for $400 and back in the day this was a lot of money for me. Out of curiosity, that's about $705 in 2026. I thought it was the coolest looking bag I've ever seen.  The Navigator by Icon I still have the bag. I haven't used it in a long, long time. The leather has held up decently, I should probably condition it, otherwise leather can crack if it's dried out. I generally do not condition my bags unless they feel dry. Most brand new bags are ready to use without having to condition them. That said, my most recent purchase from Go Forth Goods needed conditioning right away. It just felt super dry.  Before conditioning. It needed a drink badly. After a second conditioning. See how it looks so much better? The ...
