Tea Time + It's Spring!

After my short time in London, I missed afternoon tea so much that my good friend V and I decided to try it here in NYC at Berdorf Goodman. :)

Afternoon tea OOTD! Top: J.Crew Crewcuts cardigan (old). Dress: Topshop Petites (old but similar here). Tights: Uniqlo Heattech Tights. Boots: Cole Haan 'Arlington' Boots. Jacket: Burberry Brit Daylesmoore Coat. Bag: Chanel.
A surprisingly enjoys it too and was lots of fun, especially since after our tea, the waiter gave us each complimentary gift cards. :)

So stuffed after this.
The pretty view of Central Park that's still frozen even on the first day of Spring.
We ended up spending all of ours at Dior, where I considered purchasing this Rouge Dior Lipstick in 999 Ara Red but ended up leaving with a Dior Addict Lip Glow and Dior Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation instead, which I love.

Trying on Rouge Dior Lipstick in 999 Ara Red and wearing Dior Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation.

My favorite staples now - Burberry Brit Daylesmoore Coat and Chanel small flap bag.
And though it's Spring now, it's was still freezing in NYC the past few weeks so we had hotpot for dinner last week, which had really nice decor. AYCE (all you can eat) shouldn't be something I should be doing since my wedding is only 6 months (!) away, but I couldn't resist. :)

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
