Peek-A-Boo - Cutout Booties + Transparent Clutch Reviews

I've been wanting a pair of cutout booties for a while now and I think one of the reasons I've been wanting a pair now more than ever before is because the temperature is finally warming up but it's not quite warm enough to wear sandals yet it seems so wrong to trap my feet on nice, sunny days. I went on a shopping spree with all of the ones that caught my eye and hoped I would be happy with at least one of them.

Jacket: H&M girls (old). Booties: Vince Camuto 'Maizy' Booties in Smoke Taupe.

First up are these Vince Camuto 'Maizy' Booties that are a Nordstrom exclusive, especially since they go down to a size 4 (!). I ordered them in a size 4.5 in the Smoke Taupe color and a size 5 in the Black color to try out the size and color. They really are very comfortable thanks to the wide stacked heel but unfortunately, I didn't love them enough to keep them. Since I am trying to streamline my shoe collection, I want to hold out for a pair that I really love but do have to say the color and cutout design is really nice. I fit both sizes for reference but would opt for the 4.5 since I also like to go with a snug fit, especially since I wouldn't wear these with socks or tights.

Booties from left to right: Vince Camuto 'Maizy' Booties in Black and Victoria's Secret Lace-Up Wedge Bootie in Black.
While flipping through Victoria's Secret's Clearance circular, their Lace-Up Wedge Booties caught my eye so I decided to give them a shot too. The size 5 fit pretty well but I would have preferred the back  of the wedge to be enclosed, which would have been more comfortable so back they're going back as well.

Shoes: Jessica Simpson 'Careyy' Sandals. Clutch: Melie Bianco Transparent Minaudiere.

Next up are these Jessica Simpson 'Careyy' Sandals, which I liked the most out of all these pairs but they are unfortunately a little too big throughout. It wasn't a problem for me when snapping these photos but I know from experience that I wouldn't be able to wear these for too long before sliding around in them would cause major pain so these unfortunately have to go back too. But for anyone who's on the bigger end of size 5 and up, these are really great with a super high heel. Along with the shoes, the Melie Biano Transparent Minaudiere also caught my eye. The transparent accessories trend has been around for a while now but I was never really into showcasing everything clearly in my bag so the black shade really intrigued me since it's clear but not easy to see through, which still gives you a sense of privacy while being open yet mysterious at the same time. The only issue I've noticed so far is that the plastic material attracts a lot of lint but that might just be static. :)

Leaving you with the fortune cookie quote, "It is a happy talent to know how to play."

February Haul + Breakfast Bagel Strata Recipe

Image
The very last item I picked up from H&M that broke the buy and return cycle was a $2 striped tee that I thought would be a nice basic to have - I can't wait until the day I can have a bigger closet so I can actually see all the pieces I own - I might end up finding a few more basic stripes tees but when I picked it up, I didn't think I had one. :) I was browsing Insta Stories and came across some cute Target finds so made a large purchase at 3AM when I was up from baby B: Left: Denim Trucker Jacket in XS Light Acid Wash .

Hermes Toolbox 20 Review!

Image
A long time ago, I used to covet the Hermes Birkin bag, as I'm sure many have since it's so elusive. Since then, I switched over to pine after the Hermes Kelly bag instead, after I saw it on Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook here . She's a fellow petite and it just looked so nice on her! Over time though, and especially after baby A, I see how such a bag is definitely not practical for me and if I were to spend a small fortune on a bag, I'd want one that I would actually use more often. The Kelly has a thin strap and is quite structured, which is what I like about it, but in reality is too classy for my weekends. It wasn't until I went to Athens, posted about here , that I tried on the Hermes Toolbox 20 and fell for it. It was in a beautiful royal blue color but I already have a Celine in that same color (seen here ) but that bright color and how it hung on me were the reasons I really liked it so much. I realized I wouldn't love the bag in a beige or deep

Canada Goose: Fusion Fit Reviews

Image
I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair , Shelburne , and Trillium , they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn. The Canada Goose Rossclair Parka Fusion Fit definitely fits much better than the normal Rossclair as shown here . I still like this Military Green color the best along with Black and like these large buttons better than the small loop ones on the Kensington but still prefer the ease of snap buttons to these. Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit in XXS Graphite The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much be
