Petite Impact

Happy Friday! It's also the 25th anniversary of 9/11, which I can't believe it's been 25 years. It just doesn't seem possible so much time has passed. I was in college at Fordham University about to leave for my first class of the day when my grandma told me to turn on the tv. She was either on the phone with someone who told her or she was listening to the Chinese radio. I remember feeling a bit annoyed because I was trying to rush out the door to get to class. But the second I turned the tv on, I knew everything was about to be cancelled. I also remember how blue and sunny and how there was not a single cloud in the sky. It was supposed to be a perfect day. It doesn't feel like it was 25 years ago. It's so surreal. I just wanted to acknowledge the anniversary on my blog. I'm not sure if I ever have before in the past. When I look at all the 9/11 videos that come across my Instagram feed or an article in the NYTimes catches my eye, I feel compelled to watch...

Apologies for the delay! I was out most of the day and finally got back. We went to see the Odyssey in IMAX. It was my second viewing of the movie, but the first time in IMAX. It is such a great movie. I think it's going to win Oscars.  I'm interested in a few things that caught my eye this week, but the prices are insane. Not sure I can justify spending so much on clothing anymore! Did anything catch your eye this week? Let me know in the comments!   Scuba Evolve OS Jogger Short Light Ivory 25" (Wow, I am shocked that this length would actually fit me!)

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I am super excited to share this review with you all. I have been looking at this Mark Cross bag for well over a year now and finally pulled the trigger when they had their Fourth of July sale. I've had this bag in my collection for almost two months. If you have never heard of Mark Cross before, I would not be surprised even though they are the oldest American luxury brand. Mark Cross was founded in 1845 in Boston, Massachusetts. They started off as a horse furnishing store before pivoting to luxury goods. Please check out my video for more of their history and how they stack up against The Row and Hermès. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.  Mark Cross Archer 32 Supple Soft Chocolate I fell in love with the Archer 32 in Chocolate. The leather is super supple and buttery calfskin. Amazing hand feel. It's the kind of bag you just want to caress all day long. 😅 There's only two ways you can carry this bag; handheld or ov...

  Happy Friday! I've been on the hunt for a denim jacket for fall. I really liked Vuori's Vintage OS Denim Jacket but the XXS is sold out and I haven't seen it restocked. It's also $188 so it has to be a perfect fit which is why I don't want to settle for XS. Let's find out if Pilcro's or Banana Republic's Denim jacket are keepers.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS or PXS. Anthropologie Pilcro Shrunken Denim Jacket Medium Denim Size XS I love the wash of this denim blue jacket. Pilcro really did an amazing job on the color and fading. I'm a fan of color variation on denim, I think it makes it look more interesting and lived in. Gives it a little bit of character without having to heavily distress the denim. I'm wearing size XS and the length hits at my waist which is fine, it's not too cropped. However, it makes my body look very rectangular which isn't doing me any favors. Sleeves are a bit too long...
