Fendi Mini Peekaboo Bag + Old Navy Reviews

After seeing Wendy's Lookbook's Fendi Mini Peekaboo Bag, I was very intrigued and discovered it comes in a light grey color with cobalt blue that I instantly became obsessed with. Since I couldn't stop thinking about it, I gave in and purchased it to see if it'll fulfill my on/off obsession to one day own a Hermes bag, especially since it reminds of the Kelly yet is more casual, which fits my style more. The Birkin is also more casual than the Kelly but I really dislike how it doesn't have an optional shoulder strap, which I find to be extremely important because convenience and comfort is so much more important to me now that I've gotten older. I've debated over whether I really want a Hermes bag for what it is or for what it represents, which is how it represents the bag of all bags to many, but haven't yet come to a solid conclusion. Anyway, I was so excited to finally get the Fendi Mini Peekaboo Bag, and I have to say I was very surprised by how small it really is. I honestly thought it would be much bigger, which is one of the reasons I've decided to refrain from keeping it and making yet another big bag purchase. But before it goes back, here are some snaps of it. :)

Fendi Mini Peekaboo Bag in Lt Grey w/ Strawberry Trim
I do have to say that the leather is really very soft and it's a really great size for someone small like me. The interior is also a beautiful strawberry color that is separated into two compartments that are accessible by easily twisting the pretty gold buckles that are identical on each side. I can't help but say yet again that it's a really beautiful bag and is of really good quality.

Blazer: Aqua Girls (old but similar here). Tank: H&M Long Jersey Tank Top. Shoes: BCBGirls Patent Leather Pumps (old but similar here). Bag: Fendi Mini Peekaboo Bag in Lt Grey w/ Strawberry Trim.
I have the detachable strap above adjusted to the shortest length, which is 19" and it's perfect. If I didn't just purchase several new small bags like the Chloe and Chanel I did here and here, I would really be tempted to keep it.

While spending our day walking around SoHo, A wanted to stop by Old Navy, since it's one of his favorite brands and the entire store was up to 75% off so I perused the racks as well. For some reason, I was very drawn to their turtleneck styles (probably because I was freezing cold that day). Below are three styles I was considering but finally decided to just get the burgundy colored one. Though Old Navy generally fits big on me, I do think they're a good place to stock up on oversized sweaters. As you can see, I have the sleeves rolled up for the women's sweaters at the left, while the hooded sweater on the right is actually girl's. :)

Middle: Women's Turtleneck Sweater. Right: Girls Hooded Open-Front Cardigan.

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

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.
