Upload! June 2nd 2020

Fairly small upload this week. Nothing too exciting. I do have the Rogue Renegade Hoodie coming, so hopefully I'll have a review coming soon. Does anyone have it yet? Would love to know if it's true to size, I ordered my usual size 4. Yin Poncho Heathered Cherry Tint (pretty but I never wear ponchos!) Cut Back Crop Tank Black Kastra Bra Lululemon Lab Ink Blue (I actually kind of like this. Might give it a try.) Swiftly Relaxed Long Sleeve Cosmic Shift Hyper Blue Quick Pace Short Sleeve Porcelain Pink (This looks pretty and airy for summer.)

Blackout Tuesday

Upload will be posted tomorrow.  Today I am focusing on educating myself. Last night I watched The Help. Today I will watch 13th. Both moves are on Netflix if anyone else wants to join me.  I purchased a book written by a black author called Black Fortunes - The Story of the first 6 African Americans who Escaped Slavery and Became Millionaires. I look forward to reading it this month. I also donated to NAACP . *any proceeds from affiliated links in this post will be donated to NAACP as well. 

Fit Review! Vuori Performance Hoodie

Before I get into the review I just want to say that I feel really frivolous that I'm still blogging about hoodies and writing fit reviews when it seems like the world is coming to an end. I know a lot of you come to my blog as an escape and I don't want to let you down. If you're here for a distraction- to get your mind off of everything going on, it is why I'm still posting. Otherwise, I think I would have taken tonight off.  ~~~~~ Ever since the pandemic I've been seeing ads for Vuori plastered all over my Facebook feed. After clicking on some of the posts and reading all the raving comments, my curiosity was piqued. Vuori is a brand I never even heard of. After a bit of Googling, I've learned they're a California brand that launched in 2015 and only recently started a women's line in 2018. They're relatively new in the fitness apparel world, but I'm willing to give them a try.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and

Review! Rothy's The Essential Pouch Desert Sand

Happy Friday! I don't have my usual fit review for you guys today, but I will have some pretty good ones coming next week. I'm still waiting for one more order to arrive, but this weekend I will be taking a lot of photos for more fit reviews. I'm crossing my fingers for some good weather. As some of you may know I'm a huge fan of Rothy's. I love them as a company and what they're trying to do with all the millions and millions of plastic bottles. I have about 6 pairs of their shoes and today I am reviewing my very first bag purchase from Rothy's.  The Essential Pouch Desert Sand Enjoy $20 off your first purchase with code  WELCOME20 . So while this isn't a full sized bag, it's a pretty decent sized clutch. Their bags are quite steep and I didn't love any of them enough to pay the price. That said, this clutch will definitely hold your essentials and more. Upon opening the box I was really surprised and delighted to how so

Upload! May 26th 2020

A lot of purple items today! Normally I am a huge fan of purple but midnight orchid is just a little too grape colored for me. I'm totally eyeing  Rogue Renegade Zip Hoodie Alpine White . I think it looks really nice, but it's also white. I'm tempted to order it and give it a try. Maybe there's a hint of gray in there? Just wish the pockets were closer to the front than on the side like that. What do you think of tonight's upload?  Scuba Hoodie Midnight Orchid Essential Tank Pleated Cassis Ready To Roll Crew Acid Rubber Dye True Navy All Yours Crew Terry Heathered Midnight Orchid Rogue Renegade Zip Hoodie Alpine White (This might be my favorite item from the upload.

Fit Review Athleta Girl All Play Farallon Short Dark Surf Teal

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. It's Memorial Day and I hope everyone gets to spend some time with your loved ones. It's easier said than done these days but I am seeing some videos of people getting together at pool parties and parks. It's a little scary but I also miss doing those things. So far we are still staying inside even though it's starting to feel like summer. Which is why I have a pair of shorts for review!  I like to call these my summer quarantine shorts. They're lounge shorts. These are made of super soft cotton.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically a size 4 in Lululemon bottoms. I also wear a size P0 or PXS in Athleta. For Athleta Girls I am wearing XL/14. All Play Farallon Short Dark Teal Surf Size XL/14 I love that these have pockets, but I admit they are shallow. So I wouldn't put my phone in there at all. Much too small for that. There's a drawstring at the waist and the ties are colorful and cu
