YSL Toy LouLou Bag + Talbot's Reviews!

The Saint Laurent Toy LouLou Crossbody Bag caught my eye when it popped up on a Facebook ad from Nordstrom and I just had to find out if I thought I would love it as much as I did in my head after obsessing over it for a while. I know I mentioned just last post that I stopped shopping as much for myself but this is an exception. :)

Upon first opening the package, my first impression was that I love the Washed Light Pink color and that the bag is more structured than I thought. The color is closer to the modeling pics below.


Though I love the color a lot, I feel like the length is unfortunately too long for me so I am sending it back. It measures 7.8" x 5.5" x 2.7" with a 21"-22" strap drop. It would be perfect on someone who is 5' or taller, which is even just an inch taller than me so I really just need one more hole but the bag only comes with three. Also, note that it was extremely difficult for me to adjust the bag but I figure you would only need to do so once. I do like size of the bag itself and the multiple compartments inside with two main sections, one card slot in the middle, and a zipper and another slot on the side. I'm not sure if it was because it was so new but I also felt it wasn't as easy to close as I would have liked - I had to move it around each time to make sure the magnets snapped shut so it wouldn't flap around when worn.

Top: Gap Slub Sleeveless Ruffle Layer Tank. Pants: Gap Superdenim Lace-Front Jeggings. Shoes: Talbots Capri Wedges 
I'm actually trying on Talbots shoes for the first time above and have always thought their size 5 would run big but I am really pleasantly surprised to find out all 5 pairs I bought fit perfectly. Their shoe styles are also a lot cuter than I thought too. The Capri Wedges I'm wearing above in Sand and below in Black were cute but I didn't feel too stable walking in them.
Dress & Vest: Kohl's Knitworks Blazer Vest & Tulle Skater Dress. Shoes: Talbots Keri Bow Vachetta Leather Sandals. Baby A keeps sneaking in to my photos lol. As you can tell, she's a momma's girl :)
Top: Gap Slub Sleeveless Ruffle Layer Tank Shorts: Gap Pinstripe Shorts. Shoes: Talbots Naomi Scarf-Tie Denim Sandals. 


I LOVE these sandals! I actually wasn't going to place an order with Talbots because I had to pay for shipping but it was the chance that these sandals might work out that I did and I'm so happy I did! I honestly thought the shoes were all going to be too big but these are so comfy and look so cute. I love the denim material, which feels nice and the adjustable bows are great. I can't wait to wear them this Spring/Summer!

Cardigan: Talbots Scallop-Edge Open Front Cardigan. Tank: H&M Jersey Tank Top. Pants: Express High Waisted Sash Tie Ankle Pant.
I wanted to try this Scallop-Edge Open Front Cardigan from Talbots , which would be great for Fall/Winter when layered under a coat and also as a light jacket for the Spring/Summer.

Lastly, I want to mention that I love the color of these Express High Waisted Sash Tie Ankle Pants but they're a little long on me.

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

March Haul + Target Dresses

Target has so many pretty dresses, which are perfect for the Spring weather we have now. It seems winter is finally over and pleasant weather is here. :) Left to right:  Sleeveless Scoop Neck Dress with Eyelet Trim ,  Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress ,  Striped Strappy Side Button Top Midi Dress Left to right:  Striped Strappy High Neck Dress ,  Floral Print Off The Shoulder Dress ,  Sleeveless V-Neck Handkerchief Midi Dress ,  Floral Print Scoop Neck Strappy Button Front Tiered Midi Dress Out of all the ones I bought, I only decided to keep one but they were all really cute - I wish I had more space in my closet! The material of the two striped one and the black one are definitely wrinkle-prone as you can see in the photos but I liked the neutral stripes enough to keep it.
