January Haul + LOFT Try-Ons

At the end of every year, I always total the amount of money I spent over the year for my hauls and I am really proud to find out I spent so little last year, so little that I was shocked. I hope this will be a new trend now, where I only add an item or two at most a month. This month's haul was the result of returns (as usual when going in store to make returns) and also influencers on Instragram, of which I've snowballed into following a whole bunch over the holidays. It's been a guilty pleasure of mine recently to really enjoy watching influencers' families, shopping, and home decor in stories, especially since I am looking to move and redecorate again in the near future.




Here are some LOFT try-ons, of which I only kept the one above.


#3: Petite Floral Bell Cuff Blouse in XXSP(itchy so wear a layer under). #4: LOFT Petite Drawstring Utility Jacket in XXSP
Here are some Express try-ons:

Left to right: V-neck Tie Waist Jumpsuit, Satin Lace Inset Downtown Cami, Super High Waisted Vegan Leather Leggings, Vegan Leather Leggings, High Waisted Spotted O-ring Paperbag Ankle Pant
In preparation for my Disney trip last month, I also went to H&M to try some of their Mickey merchandise. :)

Left: Boxy Sweatshirt under Padded Windbreaker. Middle: Printed Sweatshirt.

And a random camo legging try-on from Marshall's. Love the soft hand feel of it but the quality really wasn't very good, pilling after the first wash.



I also just wanted to share that I've been loving Trader Joe's Pepperoni Mac & Cheese Bowl, which I just discovered. Two things I love combined in one, yum!

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
