The Jersey Shore + Outlet Shopping!

I love long weekends! My family and I spent Memorial Day Weekend at the Jersey Shore, where we had a lovely time shopping at the outlets, laying on the beach, and walking along the boardwalks. :)

Here are some fitting room snaps of most of the stores I popped into at Jersey Shore Premium Outlets:

Left to right: Lace Fit & Flare Dress, Floral A-Line Dress, Textured Geometric Slip Dress, Luxe Lace Dress, Textured Tribal Skirt, Taco Shirt
I don't normally shop at Aeropostale but decided to pop in since it was there and I happily found many cute dresses. I might wear the Lace Fit & Flare Dress to my bridal shower. :)
They're having a 50% off everything promotion now, which is very close to the outlet's prices!

 Next up is Ann Taylor, where I surprisingly found many cute pieces, while at LOFT, I found less. I have always gravitated towards LOFT more than Ann Taylor but maybe times are changing since I'm nearing the big 3-0.


At Banana Republic, I picked up the above top left cropped sweater from Banana Republic for $12. :)

Top left: Cut-Out Striped Bodycon Dress. Top right: Ribbed & Knotted High-Low Skirt. Bottom # 3: Ruched-Side Striped Tank Dress. 
Charlotte Russe is also a store I rarely ever venture into anymore since high school/college but I found all these great dresses for under $21 each. The last skirt there is only $5! Though many pieces didn't look so promising on the rack, they all fit really well when I put them on so I'm most happy with my purchases from this store.

 
J.Crew was extremely crowded because everything was 40% off. I managed to snag a great black skirt and jersey romper and also left with two pairs of sunglasses. :))


Lastly is LOFT, in which I only left with the maxi skirt to the left, which is a nice basic for summer.

And here's a few memories from the rest of the trip:

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. Left to right: Fleece Sweatshirt in XS Gold , Who What Wear Polka Dot Crewneck Balloon Sleeve Sweater in XS Brown , Who What Wear Balloon Long Sleeve Top in XS Off White & Who What Wear High-Rise Paperbag Pants in XS Here's a great recipe for a breakfast strata that can be made in advance and then popped in the oven the morning of: BREAKFAST BAGEL STRATA from Parents magazine April 2017 Active Time: 3

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
