March Haul + Philly Trip

More shopping at Amazon and Target again, along with some from Loft, H&M, J.Crew, Lululemon, Gap Factory, and Old Navy.











I'm in full summer shopping mode now and have been snapping up swimsuits and shorts in preparation for vacay and summer days spent at the park playing handball. Amazon and Old Navy had so many cute suits so I decided to try some and ended up picking up shorts from both as well.


Cupshe Cutout Scallop Bathing Suit, Shekini Smocked Bandeau and Bottoms, Carmen Marc Valvo One Shoulder Crop Top

Free People Shorts dupe: Automet Shorts

High-Waisted O.G. Straight Floral Button-Fly Shorts, High-Waisted Distressed Bandana-Patch Cut-Off Shorts.

After seeing so many influencers posting about Levi's and Agolde jean shorts, I was determined to find a pair of black ones for less and was surprised to find some that I really like from Target. 

Left to right: Target Denizen by Levi's Dark Blue Denim High-Rise Shorts, Target Denizen by Levi's Black High-Rise Shorts, Target Cat & Jack Jean Shorts in Black, White, Light Wash.

I've been shopping too consistently lately at Target since I often see influencers post about things on Insta. I know that their prices aren't cheap but I'm addicted. I also love this super soft sweatshirt, this lace sleeve shirt, and boyfriend shirt for layering.

There are also always so many good sandals at Target so I ordered a bunch to try along with some cute ones from H&M to compare:

I had Loft credit expiring so also shopped there in order to get free shipping.
LOFT Petite Ribbed Square Neck Tee, Petite Cinched Sweetheart Neck Blouse, Petite Cable Zip Sweater, Petite Denim Utility Jacket, Petite Lou & Grey Signature Sweatpants

We're going to Disneyland in the summer so I picked up a Mickey shirt from Gap Factory along with a few other things for free ship :)

GapKids Disney shirt, Favorite Print T-Shirt, Herringbone Chambray Joggers

Here's a few outerwear pieces I tried recently:

Left to right: AE Cropped Denim Jacket, Volcom Kids Wind Stoned Jacket, FLX Boucle Mixed-Media Vest, Zella Quilted Bomber

Though I had mentioned I bought the Madewell camera bag here, I decided to return it since I felt like the Amazon belt bag in the same post was more practical and much cheaper. As a result, I ended up picking up two other small bags to compare from H&M and J.Crew as well as the real Lululemon belt bag because I couldn't resist the prettiest new color.

H&M small shoulder bag, Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, J.Crew Mini Montauk Bag.

I saw an ad for this pretty floral shirt from Old Navy and decided to buy matching dresses for the girls too. I've never matched with them before and am so glad I did on our Philly trip. It seems this is the only place we go because we were afraid to fly but this year at least will have two trips with flights for us. Meanwhile, here are some pics from our Philly trip this month. :)

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
