Petite Impact

I've been journaling for most of my life, except back then it was called writing in a diary. I go through about two journals per year and I still have maybe a handful that are waiting to be used. Recently I wanted to explore leather journal covers with the idea that I should buy refillable notebooks instead of buying new journals to be more eco-friendly.  I picked out three brands to try out. Leather Tannerstein's Pegai, Shinola, and KMM are put to the test. Which one has the best leather and design for the price?  Pegai Leather Journal Dymnos Brown I picked the Dymnos Brown because of the leather description "top-grain calfskin with a nubuck finish that invites touch before anything else". I love nubuck and am obsessed with adding a nubuck bag to my collection. Until I find one I figured maybe a nubuck leather journal would scratch the itch for now. After taking it out of the plastic packaging, I was so disappointed with the leather. It does not feel like nubuck at a...

Happy October! Get ready for the rest of the year to fly by. I love October, it's my favorite month. Fall is here, the temperature is dropping, I get to wear my cute sweaters, the air is crisp, and if it gets chilly enough I'll soon be drinking hot chocolate. Of course there's Halloween and the start of the holiday season to look forward to. This is my first Aviator Nation purchase in quite a while, I think it's been over a year. Aviator Nation hoodies are still my most worn hoodies, hands down. I am almost always wearing one around their hoodies around the house and now that it's cooler I'll get to wear them out.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS in Aviator Nation. I also wear size PXS in Athleta and size XS/S and 4/6 in Lululemon.

The Moonlight Floral print is taking me back to the good old days! 😍 Banana Republic and Athleta are still having their Friends & Family event. Also excited for Fount's new sling bag coming out this Friday! I'm considering going on a shopping ban for the month of October. Anyone want to join me? This way we'll be ready for holiday shopping sales. 😆   Define Cropped Jacket Nulu Moonlight Floral (This reminds me of old Lulu days!)

If you're a fan of Go Forth Goods, chances are you're also a fan of KMM. KMM also makes their bags right here in Atlanta, Georgia. I did get a chance to visit their store earlier this month and was able to see and touch their bags which I really enjoyed. I was able to get a good feel of which leathers I liked. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Mini Zip Top Bucket Bag Tan Rustic Bison This Mini Zip Top Bucket Bag is a really good size for my petite frame. It is a mini to small size and can fit your essentials with a little room to spare. I prefer carrying my bags crossbody to remain hands free while I walk around. I opted out of a matching strap when I ordered the bag since I have so many straps in my collection already. Here I am wearing it with a third party Etsy strap and I also borrowed a shoulder strap from one of my Fount bags.  I think it looks best carried as a crossbody. The bag sticks out just a little too much when I carry it as a shoulder bag.  If you...
