Review- Gucci Marmont Chevron Velvet Shoulder Bag!

Gucci is super hot right now. I've never really liked any Gucci enough to buy until the Marmont line. The chevron pattern gives off a very 70s vibe but with an updated feel. The double G hardware is antiqued gold tone which gives it a more subtle look instead of the bright in your face gold. A couple of months ago, my mom went to Italy for vacation and brought back this little gem for me! Gucci Marmont Chevron Velvet Shoulder Bag Size Small Mine is the teal color from fall/winter 2016. This season they are releasing the bag in a pretty pink, black, red/fushia, and blue. I have the small size which is 10 inches by 6 inches by 3 inches deep. I think it's the perfect size bag for everyday.  Normally I would consider a velvet bag to be a piece I would only carry in the fall or winter, but when I paired it with this summery dress it really worked nicely with brown sandals. I would totally wear this outfit on date night for sure even in the summer. The strap c

Fit Review Friday! Sculpt Tank II, Speed Short, Swiftly Racerback Tank, Align Crop, Pushing Limits Crop

Happy Friday everyone! It's super hot and humid in Hotlanta today but I still made myself walk over to the mall after work to get in a quick fit review for you guys. Swiftly Racerback  Bleacher Blue Size 4 I really quite love this bleacher blue  Swiftly Racerback  tank. The blue is very bright and saturated. This particular color is on the thinner side of Swiftly's and will show lumps and bumps. I try and conceal this by scrunching it up around my waist. Other than that, the fabric is softer than some of my older Swiftly's and I took this one home with me. Fit was true to size. You will have to excuse the bra back there. 😂😂 I'm pretty obsessed with the breeze by white light print. If Lululemon releases this print in the Train Times Crop I'll be in trouble. Initially I thought I wouldn't like the Speeds in this print because of the gray band, but I realized that my tops will most likely cover the gray band and it doesn't show much at all.

Guest Review! Athleta Mantra Capri in Abyss!

Sarah was nice enough to send me some photos of her Mantra Capri's from Athleta. Here is her review: " Just got my Athleta Mantra Capri in Abyss today and thought I would share my impression with you. Please excuse the mess! I became aware of these from Cristina (aka Lulumum) did a review on the Sweat Edit, and I just had to order them! Luckily I had a good excuse as I need a new bikini which I also ordered from Athleta (which I also love and am keeping). The size I am wearing is Small Petite (I am 5'3'', ca 125 lbs), I wear a 6 in lulu bottoms. I would say the fit is true to size. The Powervita fabric is amazing, it feels quite 'velvety' but does't seem like it will pill. It reminds me the most of Nulux or this year's brushed luxtreme from Lulu. It is quite lightweight but still opaque in the bend test. The calves fit nice and snug, but not too tight and the mesh is not scratchy at all. The waistband is very comfortable and not too high.

Fit Review Friday! Athleta Short Sleeve Criss Cross Dress, Zephyr Tee, Banana Republic Sloan Pant

Happy Friday!! Friday is the best day of the week. Why? Because I know Saturday and Sunday I can sleep in. Once it's Saturday, I'm already dreading Sunday. 😂 This week has been really crazy. Kitchen renovation is still ongoing. Demolition took place on Tuesday. The cabinets are 90% finished. Monday we have a vendor coming in to measure the counter. Then we have to wait about two weeks for the counter tops to be cut. After that we still have to do the backsplash. Then I'm debating on having the entire condo professionally cleaned. I really do not do well with all the dust that's flying around. My asthma starts up and takes weeks for it to go away.  Today is also my 2nd wedding anniversary! My husband sent flowers to my office and made all my female co workers jealous.  After work we went to IKEA to return some things. Check out this super long IKEA receipt. It's almost as tall as me! After that we headed over to one of our favorite restaurants

I'm loving the breeze by white light print. I'm a little sad it isn't available in the Train Times Crop and might just order the 7/8 version to try. The Speed Shorts are also tempting me. I'll probably place an order tonight after I finish up this post and I'll definitely be going to the mall on Thursday after work to check out the print in person. If there's something you would like me to do a review of let me know!
