5 Thirty or 6 Thirty

Ok, so a lot of interesting trends are popping up this season. But right now I am fascinated with the  fanny pack (or is it a belt bag?). And is it ever ok to even really wear one? Even if it is cool or chic like this Supreme one I am modelling in the gym. Anyway, during the winter I struggle with it because how can I fit it underneath a coat?? And in the summer, is it just an outfit killer??  It does have its virtues, as in being able to carry the essentials while leaving your hands free for grocery shopping. It is also a good item to take on vacation, being easy to pack and enabling your hands to be free for selfies!

I am going to go ahead and give the fanny pack / belt bag my blessing. I think as long as it is worn properly, it can be an item worth obsessing over!

What is up with the rising prices of sneakers?? Has anyone else noticed that some sneakers have gone into the 4-digit territory? Oy. Now I love my sneakers, and I walk everywhere, so I am not shy about indulging in a hot pair of sneaks. Sometimes I just like to have choices. If I am not going to be doing a workout at the gym that requires actual athletic sneakers, I turn my focus to my athleisure sneakers. To wear with regular clothes or to and from a shvitz that doesnt require sneakers. Let's just say that I looked at ALOT of different ones and I narrowed it down to one sneaker that I think is a lot of look without the heavy pricetag. I also like to have a sneaker to travel with that is lightweight an versatile.

It is the Veja Esplar and comes in various color choices, I took a liking to the daisies which are a collaboration with Madewell and available on madewell.com for $130. Veja has their own website with many other versions. In addition to looking good, these sneakers are enviornmentally friendly and made with organic materials. Check it out on Veja.com.

P.S. For ladies of a certain shoe size, who tell me that their feet are too big for certain sneakers......These will work! Your feet will not look like canoes........

If you live in NYC, specifically the UES, the answer to that question is a resounding yes!!! You may even be wearing one as you read this!

It is the Orolay Women’s Thickened Down Jacket that retails for $89.99 on Amazon.

Yes, it is cute, it is warm, comes in various colors, and seems to compliment both athleisure and regular stylings. BUT, everyone has it!! Whenever I see one walk by, I wonder, who was customer zero? Who was the first person to discover this coat and seemingly tell every other woman on the UES. Don’t get me wrong, I totally appreciate this coat. I ordered one myself to see what all the buzz is about. I just can’t seem to bring myself to wear it, for fear of mixing it up with someone else’s Orolay hanging on a coat hook at the gym.

I have noticed that the khaki green is most popular followed by black. And then the occasional gray and beige.

Now that I have said all that, If u were ordering an Orolay, which color would you order?????????
