Fit Review! Athleta Review Part 2! Skulptek Skinny Jean & Crop

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I can' believe it's almost the end of July. This summer is really flying by. Atlanta is so hot right now that it is hard to wear jeans in the summer. I did however find a really nice light weight crop denim from Athleta. I've worn them a few times already and they are very comfortable. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. In Athleta I'm usually a size PXS in tops and 2 Petite for bottoms. Outfit Details: Lululemon Sweat Times Short Sleeve  - size 2 Athleta Skulptek Skinny Crop Jean Granite Wash - size 2P Allbirds Wool Runners Balenciaga Bag These fit a bit more loose than the quartz wash I reviewed in my last post . The granite wash fits more like a boyfriend jean. These are relaxed fit for a more casual look. I also prefer to fold the cuffs up for a more cropped look, otherwise the length of the inseam on these is 24.5 inches. That's almost full

Fit Review Friday! Athleta Review Part 1 Mindset Vest, Sculptek Skinny Jean

Happy Friday everyone! I have a pretty long Athleta review but I will be breaking them up in two parts. Today I'm going over the Mindset Vest and Sculptek Skinny Denim in quartz wash. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches and typically a size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. In Athleta I'm usually a size PXS in tops and 2 Petite for bottoms. This entire outfit is new except for the booties. The  J.Crew Scoopneck Tencel Tee  is super soft. I am wearing a size XXS and it's a loose fit. The scoop neck is a little low and it is very see through but for a casual summer outfit it works fine. The  Mindset Vest  is also very soft and runs large. The neckline is adjustable and you can style it differently if you wish. More on the vest in a little bit. Outfit details: J.Crew Scoopneck Tencel Tee - on sale! I'm wearing size XXS Athleta Mindset Vest - $24.99 I'm wearing size PXS Athleta Sculptek Skinny Jean - I'm wearing size 2P Sam Edelman P

Upload! July 24th 2018

I am back from my road trip! Apologies for not being able to update while I was away. My hubby didn't recommend bringing a laptop or even my iPad with us on the trip. Tonight's upload is rather small. They did drop a few more fall items like this cute wrap in vintage mauve. Nothing for me tonight! I do however, have a really good fit review Friday coming up for you guys! Stay tuned. Forward Flow Cape Vintage Mauve (or is this an old color?)

Road Trip!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm traveling again this weekend. We are heading to Charlotte, North Carolina to watch a soccer game between Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund. I honestly don't know much about soccer, but last year we went to see Atlanta United play and had such a great time that we want to do it again! I'll be spending one day each in Charlotte and Greenville.  Are there any readers out there who are familiar with either place? Is there anything you would recommend seeing or doing? We're open to restaurants or anything that's fun! We really miss how walkable New York City and Boston are and don't get to do that much in Atlanta. Hoping we can get in a lot of steps this weekend. I apologize for not having a lot of reviews lately, but I promise I have some coming up soon! Have a great weekend!

This was a pretty interesting upload. They are already offering down items for winter. Even though it's a sweltering 90+ in Atlanta, I still want this down jacket in mauve stone. I think it looks sooooo pretty. But why is it $200? Ouch. If anyone knows how it runs let me know. Can't decide if I should try a 2 or a 4. I also have the Sculpt Tank in my cart in rose blush. Did you order anything? Or is everyone saving their money for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? I just got my giant Athleta order and kinda love it all! I'll have reviews up next week.

Weekend in New York

I'm back from my weekend getaway to New York. I'll never forget the surprised look on my grandma's face. My sister and brother were in on it, but no one else was. My husband and I arrived at the airport around 11 am and my brother came to pick us up. I was texting my sister and told her we were close to the house. She used the Drop In feature on Amazon Echo to connect with my grandma. She was chatting with my grandma as I walked in the house. My grandma was so engrossed with my sister that she didn't even notice me standing right next to her. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. She turned her head and looked up and her eyes got huge and her smile just got wider and wider and she said, "aiya aiya aiya!" It was too freakin cute. My sister managed to take a blurry photo from her screen. I wish it was more clear, but you can see how happy she is there.  First stop was dim sum! My parents took us to this awesome place called New Lake Pavilion. It
