Petite Impact

I'm finally getting around to reviewing the Shinola Bixby Crossbody bag. The leather is insanely soft for the affordable price of $495. I was shocked at how close it felt to my $5000 Louis Vuitton Millesime Speedy. 😮 You'll want to see the comparison between Shinola's leather to Louis Vuitton's Millesime Speedy in my video.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. This bag can be worn two ways. It's mainly marketed as a crossbody bag, but the shoulder strap is completely adjustable. The strap drop ranges from 8 inches to 25 inches. The style resembles a saddle bag, similar to The Row's Izzy Bag that retails for $2490  and  Celine's Triomphe Bag .  Celine's Triomphe Bag (I actually prefer the Shinola bag more.) Bixby Crossbody Bag The standout difference from the Shinola and the luxury brands is the accordion style design. This allows the bag to expand slightly. The volume of the bag is about 4 liters. The shoulder strap is at a nice width and do...

Happy Friday! Apologies for not having a Fit Review Friday. I've just been so bored with clothing lately. Haven't ordered anything new to try and haven't been to the stores recently for any try-ons. I've been spending most of my time just looking at bags. 😆  We kept things lowkey this year. For our anniversary dinner, we had omakase at NoriFish  and of course I reminded Jared we needed to take our anniversary selfie so I can add it to our collection. He hates posing for the camera. Here are some of our Anniversary Selfies! I didn't take a good one this year, the camera was way too close to our faces. 😂 I can't remember everything we ate, but it was all delicious! It also wasn't the best idea to have this meal the night before my annual physical. I'm still waiting for all of my results to come in and so far my LDL was slightly elevated. I'm not surprised.  This dessert was so good, strawberries, fried banana, green tea ice cream! 😍 Back to my favor...

Apologies for the late post today. Super busy with work and then Jared and I went to celebrate our 11th anniversary! We went to Norifish. I'll post about it on Friday. Nothing for me this week, but I am in the market for a bag in nubuck. I don't know why I'm so fixated on nubuck right now, but it is velvety and soft. Maybe that's why. 😆 I also posted some new bags from Polène that are really pretty, I am just not sure if I want to give them another try. Anything for you this week?

Do you remember my review of the Dream Drape MR Crop last month? I returned the petite pair in Driftwood and bought it in the regular sizing. I wanted to see if I could create a romper look without the inconveniences, so I ordered a top in Driftwood to try. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS/XS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon. With Ease Crop Tee Driftwood Size XS Dream Drape MR Crop Driftwood Size XS What do you all think? Can this set pass for a romper? I originally thought the Dream Drape Tee would work, but decided there was too much fabric going on at the waist. Speaking of, the fabric is soft and dreamy. It's thin and feels so lightweight and perfect for the warmer months ago.  Dream Drape Tee (That's too much fabric!) I'm wearing size XS in the top and the bottom and love how comfortable and easy it is to throw this on and go. The tee is super soft and comfy, it's no wonder it has nearly 700 five star...
