Petite Impact

As I look forward to fall (I am trying to manifest cooler weather), I'm currently looking to add a suede bag to my collection. I already have a Coach Rogue from 2018 in burgundy suede but I would love to add a brown suede bag to my fall rotation. If you're curious, I also filmed a video comparing the two bags.  Coach Rogue 31 Suede Dark Chocolate For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and this bag looks amazing no matter how you carry it. I usually prefer to carry my bags by the top handle or crossbody, but for the Rogue I think top handle looks best. Especially in suede. The bag comes with additional straps to carry as a shoulder bag or crossbody. I do think it looks nice as a shoulder bag but I would worry about the handles causing imprints on the suede. You can tuck them into the pockets, but it could still leave imprints.  This is a medium size bag and doesn't overwhelm my petite frame.  The crossbody strap is fairly wide  and comfortable to carry as a cross...

Happy Friday! It's been a hot and humid summer so far. I'm living in tanks and linen pieces to stay cool. Nothing has really caught my eye these days and I'm feeling very uninspired by most brands lately. I  stopped by Anthropologie and Vuori to see if there was anything interesting to try on.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS/PXS in tops and bottoms.  Maeve Cropped Baby Tee Size Medium Varley Marty Active Short Size XS I thought this outfit looked cute together, the shorts are very retro which I love. I'm a fan of Varley but their prices are steep. I'm wearing size XS and fits well. These shorts retail for $88. 😑 I love them, but I don't love them at $88. My max for shorts is $70. I have to draw the line somewhere! The Maeve tee is also cute. It's a baby tee so I sized up to a medium and fits like a normal tee. So much better sizing up! Next stop- Vuori. I'm happy they opened up a store near me, but they didn't...

Another small drop from Lulu? I yawned my way through, searching for interesting items. Another disappointing drop. Which seems to be the norm nowadays. I've got my eye on a couple of new bags and a pair of boots from Since 1974. I think I'm going to pull the trigger. I can't decide between the Chestnut or Rust. Leave me a comment which one I should go for! Did anything catch your eye this week?

Fount Mini Sloane Hazelnut The Guitar Strap This review is long overdue. I've had the Mini Sloane in Hazelnut since April and have used it 16 times already. With the amount of bags I own, this actually ranks as one of my most worn bag in 3 months. The size is mini and fits all your essentials. (Check out my video to see what fits.)  The mini Sloane comes with a removable shoulder strap. I bought the matching Guitar Strap  to wear crossbody when I purchased the Classic Sloane last year and I'm so glad I did because I can swap the strap with so many of my other brown bags. If you're a crossbody gal, I highly recommend the Guitar Strap.   Closer look at the bag Fount ...

Happy Friday! How is it already mid July? I've been looking for a pair of shoes that I can wear when I want to look a little more dressed up instead of wearing my usual sneakers all the time. I'm also currently obsessing over nubuck and these boat shoes from Banana Republic caught my eye. The reviews were not great, mainly because of sizing issue. Almost every review complained about how small they were. Since they are on super sale I decided to take a chance and give them a try. I also wanted to pair them with lettuce socks. 😅 For reference I wear size 5.5 in most sneakers/trainers.  Banana Republic Italian Nubuck Leather Boat Shoe Size 6 (On super sale! Extra 20% off plus extra 10% off with Code BRAFF ) Bombas Ruffle Rib Quarter Socks The lettuce socks are from Bombas. They're mid-lightweight socks and great for summer. I'm not a fan of white socks, so I went with an off-white sand color. I think they're super cute! I wear size small in Bombas socks and it's...
