Closet Organization + Ready for Summer!

It felt so good when I finally finished organizing and putting everything away into my half of our closet (yes, I gave A half!). I touched on shoe organization in this post but here are just a few snaps of the rest of my closet, showing that I actually managed to fit all of my clothes, bags, and shoes into my half, with the exception of all my outerwear, which I store in a separate closet:

A peek into my closet from the entrance.
Shoe storage in clear boxes at the very top.
Just three shoe racks - everything else is boxed up - clear boxes on top and regular boxes on the bottom
Love the handy spot to hang my OOTD and bench to get stuff up top :)

I do have to say that though I do like the Walnut & Chrome 14" Juniors Wood Dress/Shirt Hangers from Only Hangers, I much prefer my old Real Simple Slimline Flocked hangers since I can fit so much more on a rack. With this in mind, I decided to try out some Closet Complete Kids Velvet Ultra Thin No Slip Hangers and have to say that they do work well for the most part. Since they're super small, my sleeveless tops that have wide straps don't lay fully on the hanger but it doesn't bother me enough because I love that it makes my closet look so much neater since there's much less protrusion from the hanger ends. :)

Comparison of the hangers, from top to bottom: Normal-sized Real Simple Slimline Flocked hangers, Walnut & Chrome 14" Juniors Wood Dress/Shirt Hangers, and Closet Complete Kids Velvet Ultra Thin No Slip Hangers.

I love my corner shelves for storing all my bags but I unfortunately couldn't fit them all  there so keep the rest in handy Baroque Taupe Fabric Storage Boxes by reisenthel from the Container Store. Since they can all get squished pretty easily in there, I used up the last of my hoarded air pillow as mentioned in my previous post, to stuff them, which works really well. :)


In anticipation of my honeymoon to Bora Bora, I've been perusing a lot of swimwear in circulars lately and as you can see in my last haul, I bought a swim top from Victoria's Secret but have since also noticed many people posting photos with Triangl swimwear so I couldn't help but try it myself. I have to say that the fit of the Milly in size XXS is perfect for me with no gaping at the top of the cup at all. The only regret I have is that I may have preferred the Black over the Arctic Ice but I still can't wait to put it to use later this year. :)

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 . Right: Button-Front Quilted Jacket in XS Blue.

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
