Christian Louboutin Birthday Tradition + Burgers!

A took me out the weekend before my birthday and surprised me at brunch by having all my friends join us when I thought it was just us. :) I am so touched that he took the time to plan it and am also really happy I took out my Celine bag for the occasion. ;)

In addition to that, he took my to Christian Louboutin again to pick out a birthday present! I'm ecstatic to think this might be a tradition, but he already warned me it won't happen again next year. It took me a while to decide because I went in already knowing I wanted the Christian Louboutin Simple 100 Pumps in Nude Patent but when I saw the Christian Louboutin Elastagram in Metallic Leather Shimmer-Strap Sandals, I was torn between the two. I was so conflicted, I didn't even take a photo of them, but they are beautiful!

I ultimately decided on the Simples because they are more practical and I know A would be more happy since I would wear them more often.

I love him!
We ended the day with a lovely dinner out in the city, where we were able to catch the sunset. :)

I updated my night outfit with my LOFT necklace and my Christian Louboutin Gortika Nude 100mm Nude Patent Leather Sandals, which were last year's present from A. :)

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
