Fit Review Friday! Anthropologie Store Try-Ons Pilcro Ozzi Plaid Ruffle Sleeve Button Down, Maeve Shrunken Bennet Buttondown, Maeve Colette Magic Fabric Crop Pant

  Happy Friday! About 15 years ago I used to love shopping at Anthropolgie. Every Tuesday, Anthro would add items to their sale section, much like Lululemon's WMTM every Thursday. My closet back then used to be 90% Anthro. They had such unique and whimsical pieces that I loved. Even though I don't shop from Anthro as much anymore, I still like to go in to browse.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XXS/XS in Anthropologie tops and size 26/27 in their bottoms. I also wear size 4/6/XS/S in Lululemon and size PXS/0P in Athleta. Pilcro Ozzi Plaid Ruffle Sleeve Button Down Shirt Picnic Plaid/Blue Navy Size XXS This Pilcro button down top looked really cute on the hanger, and I tried it on not realizing how puffy the sleeves would be. I'm wearing size XXS and love the fit. It skims nicely over the body without being tight. The sleeves are just too distracting. The fabric was soft and felt a little gauzy. I love a nice plaid button down, but passe...

New Releases Week of August 5th 2025

 Large drop today from Lulu, but I am going to be more selective with their items. I'll also start including more brands, but it will be a learning curve for me since I don't know how often other brands will be releasing new items. I'm actually most excited about Mooncat and Varley this week! Let me know what caught your eye.  Hotty Hot HR Lined Short 2.5" Thawed Camo Warm Ash Gray (Def Gen Z marketing here.

Missing the Good Old Days of Lululemon

(This is an old Lululemon photo from my camera roll) Oh boy, where to start. If you're relatively new to my blog, you should know that my posts follow a schedule and I'm not talking about just new posts on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. My Tuesday posts cover new product drops and Fridays are what I call Fit Review Fridays. Monday posts however are a bit more free form. Sometimes I'll review a new pair of shoes, do a bag review, or I'll post an additional fit review. I've been consistent with that cadence with the only exception really being when my husband wrote my blog for a few weeks when I was back in New York to take care of my grandma. Typically I have my Monday and Friday posts planned out 2 weeks in advance; meaning I've already taken the photos of what I'm going to write about and a draft in my head of what I'll be saying about the items. I'm bringing this up because I've been running into an issue as of late on what to post for Mon...

Fit Review! Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe

Happy Friday and Happy August! A few months ago, I asked around for everyone's favorite walking shoe, and a lot of people answered Brooks. I perused their website and decided on a pair of Ghost 16 running shoe. It was actually quite hard for me to find a pair that I liked. Brooks colors and designs are not really my style, but I finally found a pair that was passable. For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds and across many other brands. Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe Size 5.5 The color reminds me of a peachy pink. It's a neutral color and actually goes with a lot of my summer outfits. The magenta accent color draws the eye in for a closer look. There's very little branding on the shoe, just small lettering on the side.  The shoes have a mesh upper for ventilation. There's a nice amount of padding around the tongue and shoe opening. The laces are soft and they do not come undone which is great.   Brooks Ghost 16 Running Shoe  Size 5.5 I've worn these for a...
