Mauve/Rose Hair + Parajumpers Selma Down Jacket Review in XXS

Since my roots are growing out now as mentioned here, I decided to dye my hair mauve/rose. It was A's suggestion again and I decided to go for it since my roots were growing out anyway as mentioned here. It was a super vibrant purple on top and more of a burgundy/mauve on the bottom but has since faded quite consistently to a more rose gold color as you can see below.


The Parajumpers Selma Fur Trim Down Parka as mentioned here came in XXS and it fits!
Unfortunately, the sleeves are still as long as they were in the XS but I still like it all the same.


The silhouette is very fitted throughout and I love the fur collar that is removable, and the fur-trim on the hood is as well since it's on with velcro. I wore it last week when the temperature was in the 20/30s (F) and though I was much warmer than I was last year, I was a little disappointed I could still feel the cold with a tank and blazer on underneath, although just a little bit. If I wore a sweater underneath, I would probably be toasty enough. Since it is so slim and not bulky like most down coats are, I was expecting it to be warm but not super warm anyway so overall, I am very happy with this coat. :)

    I really like this color on you! I thought the full blonde was too harsh but this looks great on you!! How come you never considered balayage? Happy New Year to you and your family :)

      Thanks so much! I appreciate hearing that! I did balyage about 4 years ago when I first wanted to try blonde out but haven't since then. I wasn't going to mess with my hair anymore but it's fading pretty quickly and balyage might be a good idea to blend it in more with my natural hair color later on. Happy New Year to you and your family too! :)

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
