Went in-store to pick up my orders and also browse a bit. My store was also pretty sparse, but it was nice to see some things in person. I really don’t have much to share since several items I purchased are repeats of last year - looking at you, Zella Amazing Crewneck - or the tried-and-true beauty items like Slip silk scrunchies and Oribe that don’t need a full review.
A few r notes:
The
Sorel Joan of Arctic wedge didn’t slip off my heel like in years past, and that made me excited so I bought them right then. The leather is also a little smoother it seems like However, I’m just not as over-the-moon as I thought I would be with them. Plus they left black marks on my fingers. Probably going back. I should love a pair of shoes for $130.
The
Caslon Miller boots will be a great pair to have when I don’t want to necessarily wear my nicest boots - like to an apple orchard after a rainy day - but still want a sturdy leather pair with a lug sole. Super well-constructed and really nice leather.
These
Kendra Scott earrings are cute and not too flashy, but they are kind of loud! If jingly earrings bother you, don’t get these lol.
The
Zella Cara hoodie is super comfy, but the elbow seam is a little weird. I mean I’m gonna keep it for $30, the sizing is great and I like everything else, but WHY the random elbow seam?
On Cloudflow rock/rose is as pretty as it looks online and was true to size. I’m an 8 in all workout shoes and these proved no exception. One thing - the laces are LONG!
Zella leggings still aren’t great. The pocket leggings have the WEIRDEST tiny pocket placement, and the live-ins are just so, so see-through. I was shopping in my old live-ins and compared the two…night and day thickness-wise. UGH. I keep hoping they’ll go back eventually so I try every year but this is not the year, friends.
I didn’t like any of the Sweaty Betty prints for the power pocket leggings, but
these Super Sculpt ones were really nice in person! $70 for leggings is hard to swallow so they are on my “maybe later” list, but I was an unexpected fan of this style.
My sleeper hit was the
Marc Fisher Nairy boot!! I saw these in person and that was IT. The leather is sooooo nice and they’re pretty lightweight. I can’t wait to wear these.
I really tried hard to see what was out there that wasn’t skinny jeans and grabbed a pair of the
AG Ex-Boyfriend slim jeans to try on. I love AG, so I was thinking these would be a win. NOPE. The pockets didn’t start till halfway down my backside, making for a wholly unflattering look. Guess I’ll die in my skinny jeans
In case you haven’t made it to a store to check anything out yet, I’ll throw up a couple photos of the shoes & one of the earrings. First up is the Marc Fisher boots
