Engagement Photos (Tip #2) + Uniqlo/Nordstrom Bobeau Review

I'm so excited to share some of my enagement photos! First though, I had to decide what to wear and just picked up a Textured Knit Skater Skirt in White from Forever 21 the weekend before it just for the occasion. I already knew I wanted to wear primarily black since that's all A wears but thought the white skirt would be a nice touch. In the end, I was deciding between wearing all black with the white skirt or wear a grey pleather jacket since I've decided on grey as a wedding theme color.


OUTFIT ON RIGHT: Jacket: Venus Faux Leather Sleeve Sweater. Tank: H&M Pima Cotton Tank Top. Skirt: Forever 21 Textured Knit Skater Skirt. Tights: Uniqlo Women's Heattech Tights.
OUTFIT ON LEFT: Jacket: Forever 21 Girl's Cropped Pleather Jacket (old)  Tank: H&M Pima Cotton Tank Top. Skirt: Forever 21 Textured Knit Skater Skirt. Tights: Uniqlo Women's Heattech Tights.


In the end, I finally decided to go with all black so I would match A better and I'm very glad I did as you can in the photos below. I also want to just quickly mention that it unfortunately dipped a lot in temperature on the day we had our photoshoot, which was outdoors, but thankfully, my trusty Uniqlo Heattech Tights kept me warm enough as well as all the posing we did. :) So far, these tights have held up well over the year I've owned them and I haven't had any issues with pilling or tearing since I've had them. The only issue is that I wish they were more black since you can tell there is a slight difference when pairing them with other black pieces like I did this day but it really doesn't bother me too much.


One of my favorite pieces purchased recently is this super soft Bobeau Asymmetrical Fleece Wrap Cardigan from Nordstrom, which fits extremely well and feels just like a warm fleece blanket. I see that Black in petite size XXS is back in stock now and just happily picked it up so you'll be seeing it again in next month's haul. The only downside to this item is that it doesn't say it's machine washable so I'm going to test it out to see how it holds up if I try it.

Cardigan: Bobeau Asymmetrical Fleece Wrap Cardigan. Tank: H&M.

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

March Haul + Target Dresses

Image
Target has so many pretty dresses, which are perfect for the Spring weather we have now. It seems winter is finally over and pleasant weather is here. :) Left to right:  Sleeveless Scoop Neck Dress with Eyelet Trim ,  Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress ,  Striped Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress Left to right:  Striped Strappy High Neck Dress ,  Floral Print Off The Shoulder Dress ,  Sleeveless V-Neck Handkerchief Midi Dress ,  Floral Print Scoop Neck Strappy Button Front Tiered Midi Dress Out of all the ones I bought, I only decided to keep one but they were all really cute - I wish I had more space in my closet! The material of the two striped one and the black one are definitely wrinkle-prone as you can see in the photos but I liked the neutral stripes enough to keep it.
