February Haul + Grocery Tips

Here's February's haul, which consists of things from Amazon and Target, of course, but also a cute new bag from Madewell and mom jeans from Zappos.





I've lately been obsessed with the Balenciaga B small bag and XL B chain earrings because of the large B logo. The nude color of the bag that I want is unfortunately old so I'm hoping a similar color will come out again but meanwhile, I got this cute Madewell camera bag, which is a more polished version of the trendy casual belt bag and comes with two interchangeable straps.

As for the Balenciaga earrings, I don't think they're worth it so scoured Etsy and Amazon. Etsy had dupes that looked like it but I actually really like these black ones from Amazon for a more subtle look. While at it, I ordered a bunch of other styles and like these gold huggie hoops too:

I really liked the mom jeans I got from AE here and regret returning them since they are now sold out but I found these cute girls mom jeans from Abercrombie, though I wish they were higher waisted.

I picked up some cute stuff from Target this month - a romper, another flannel, sweater, and sweatshirt jacket. Love the comfy romper and sweater the most.

I continued with the athletic shorts from last month into this month and picked up one more pair from Amazon, though this one doesn't have the longer bike short layer underneath.

Here are some grocery tips I've learned that I didn't know before:

1. Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster. My mom still doesn't believe me on this one though!

2. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

3. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

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.
