August Haul + Norwalk & Turks Trip!

August's haul is quite big from a bunch of places and also a new luggage :)













As we approached our last trip before school starts, I've been looking at more rompers and also some transitional two-piece sets from Shein:



I ordered from Gap to try on a few cute items:

Left to right: Peplum Eyelet Top, Waffle-Knit Tapered Pants, Twist-Front Cropped Muscle Sleeveless Shirt, Organic Cotton Big Shirt

Left to right: Tiered Tank Top, Walmart Shorts, Towel Terry Vacay Shirt, Pleated Chambray Shorts, Pleated Khaki Shorts, Vintage Sweatshirt 

I also ordered from Abercrombie:

Left to right: Elevated Ribbed Crossback Tank, Double-Layered Seamless Squareneck Tank, Lace-Up Crew Sweatshirt


And picked up two cardigans from LOFT that I got in bigger sizes in usual for a longer oversized look for $15 each:

Right: Relaxed V-Neck Cardigan

We took a mini-birthday road trip to Norwalk, which has become an annual tradition now :)
I picked up a couple things from Walmart, which is really killing it now with cute things to rival Target:

Left cardigan: Time and Tru Open-Front Cardigan
Shorts (only $6!): Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara Super High Rise Shortie Shorts in 00

And speaking of Target, I liked these dresses and this button-down below more than the linen one I have, and also really like the tee I picked up in store :)

Left to right: Sleeveless Cord Dress, Lace-Up Knit Dress, Linen Tank Dress

Left to right: Oversized Button-Down Shirt, Button-Front Cardigan, Denim Boyfriend Shortalls

Left to right: Collar Polo Sweater, Denim Boyfriend Shortalls

Basil Heels

These heels are now my absolute favorite heels since they are so comfy, which I have in 3 colors now. :)

Here are some snaps from my mini b-day trip:












And our most exciting trip this year has been to Beaches Turks & Caicos since we liked it so much at Beached Ochos Rios!

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 . Right: Button-Front Quilted Jacket in XS Blue.

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
