Picture this: After saving for what seems like decades, you finally got that designer bag you’ve been eyeing for a while. You’ve researched the perfect bag to handle your laptop, lunch box, water bottle, and everything else you carry. You’ve fantasized about that one bag you’ll tote back and forth for years. Only… you’re starting to doubt if you can bring a designer bag to work. The first time introducing a luxury bag into a workplace can be intimidating. Thoughts are running through your head – will people judge me for spending this much money on a bag? Is it too flashy? Will people think it’s a fake? I first started wearing my luxury bags to work five years ago.…

I took my selfie standing next to my window with a scrubbed face. …

The “IT” bag of summer… and the rest of the year! I grabbed the Lululemon belt bag in blush pink two years ago after TikTok’s algorithm sold me on it. I instantly loved it. It easily replaced my errands purse whenever we went out.  Then, last year, TikTok’s algorithm sold me the Uniqlo moon/crescent bag so I grabbed it in light pink. From then onwards, I was switching between the two depending on my mood, activity, what I was carrying, and my outfit.  Eventually, I wanted to clean my wardrobe, so I contemplated which one to keep. They’re both very similar but each has its pros and cons. I eventually nailed it down to one. Check out my review below…

Is living 5 minutes away from a huge thrift store a blessing or a curse? Ever since Theo nailed a daily routine and his wake windows were getting longer, I found myself doing anything to kill time until his next sleep. Naturally, that meant many visits to Value Village. Sometimes, it was a success and sometimes, it wasn’t. That’s the fun of thrifting! Without further ado, here’s my July haul from Value Village!
