Site Announcement!

A few years ago, I was asked by a reader if I could add a “Subscribe by email” service to the site. The idea behind it is that rather than visiting the site, people would get the latest article emailed to them to read. My husband didn’t think anyone would use it, but he was wrong. A surprising amount of people signed up and I’m really grateful for that. This site is hosted on Google’s Blogger platform and Google has informed site owners that the service that sends out the email is going away. At the end of this month, Google will no longer send out the latest post. Given that a lot of you use the service, my husband and I have been researching out alternatives and we have found one that we think is even better than the service Google provided. The service is provided by Mailchimp and we’re excited to explore more of the features they offer site owners. Now if you’re an email subscriber, you’ll need to sign up with Mailchimp using the form below. Mailchimp did allow us to import user

Upload! July 13th 2021

Hmmm not much of an upload today, looks rather small to me. I wonder if there's more coming? Nothing really sticks out to me.Very odd. I do wish Lulu would release more Hotty Hot High Rise 2.5 inch shorts. I'm just in a fan of the 4 inch or the low rise version. I also wouldn't mind more  Ebb To Street Crop Tank  tops. Nothing for me today. If more items are dropped, I will update this post!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 - Early Access Starts Today!

Happy Monday! For those of you looking forward to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale , Early Access starts today. I don't have a Nordstrom card, so I won't be participating until Public Access - July 28th. I will say that this year the selection is quite disappointing. Normally there's 100 pages to look through, this year there's maybe half as much. I do think it's a combination of supply chain issues and the fact that things are starting to open up again and people want to spruce up their wardrobe. Things sell out fast even if it's not on sale. I do think that most of this will be gone by the time July 28th rolls around. At the same time, I don't think I'll be super disappointed if my wish list sells out. I will post a reminder when Public Access starts.  Let me know how you feel about this year's selection and what is on your wish list.  Bobby Brown Eye and Cheek Set All Saints Rib Knit Ruana Foot Petals Ultimate Comfort Insoles (Tip- I've been swi

Fit Review Friday! Banana Republic Sport Petite Sweater Jogger, Flyweight Jogger, Crew-Neck Sweater, Sweater Pant, Wide-Leg Cropped Pant Core Temp

Happy Friday! I know everyone is waiting for Lululemon's summer sale and it may or may not happen. I haven't heard any news, BUT there is a Vuori Summer Sale  going on right now. It doesn't happen often and it's worth taking a look. Their super popular  Performance Joggers are on sale too. For sizing I wear XXS/XS, either works for me. Today I'm reviewing items from BR Sport ! I used to be a huge fan of Banana Republic back in the day, but over the last few years I started mainly shopping from their sister store Athleta . Recently Banana Republic launched their own elevated athleisure section called BR Sport. I decided to order a few items to try. Let's get right to it! I'm warning you now, this is a very image heavy post. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and wear size PXS in BR Sport. I also wear size PXS/P0 in Athleta and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms. Petite Crew-Neck Sweater Bahama Sand Beige Size XS Number one- I LOVE
