For months social media/ blogosphere has been abuzz with talks about Fashion Nova-- an online clothing site akin to asos, but OMG SO GREAT BECAUSE KYLIE JENNER! Instagram models! 

I honestly didn't know too much about it, but after hearing so much raving I decided to give it a go. 

I only ordered three things, & only one out of the three actually fit. (it didn't fit well mind you, I just made it work) Something you should KNOW if you're going to order: SIZE UP. At least one size, I would actually go with two. It's insane that sizing isn't the same all across the board, but what can ya do?

It should also be noted that it's hard to know what your body will look like in an item, because every model is so grossly photoshopped and it's just not representative.

THE ORDER
The Ahead Of Yourself bodysuit (in small) is the only piece that fit, & I'm glad it did because bodysuits are final sale. (even though it doesn't say it on the product page) I love a good stripe & it's a really good suit.

Off Daze Midi Dress in XS was WAY TOO SMALL. Buttons were a poppin, skin was a showin,.. it was not cute, & I was so disappointed because i fell in love. I definitely want to get this in a bigger size, most likely a medium.

Total Betty Plaid Dress in S-- I could get away with this in a medium as it was just a tad too tight in all the wrong places. But again, SO CUTE, just too small.

Initially it took the order about four days to even process before it shipped out, which is cutting it close, but I let it slide because once it shipped it only took a couple of days to get to me.

THE VERDICT

I wanted to like FN because of all the good things I've heard, but I think they just got lucky. (or sponsored, it is what it is) But their return policy is less than stellar & I'm not a fan of picking things that *might* fit & then if I have to return them being stuck with store credit. 

THE CLOTHES ARE SUPER CUTE, but to me, it's not worth it. I would rather spend money on a place that I know & trust the sizing, and am friendly with the return policy.

For now, I'll leave FN to the (instagram) professionals.

PLAN WITH ME: FEBRUARY BULLET JOURNAL

I, for one, LOVE plan with me's. Blog posts, videos, give me all of it. It makes me feel like I can get that organized, if only for a moment. That's the thing I love about bullet journaling; it helps my organization SO MUCH and I've found that having everything written out instead of just floating around in my brain helps out my anxiety some.

SO, february planning.

I have spreads that are a given for each month, like my weekly spread, content calendar, yoga tracker, etc. This month I also added a couple new spreads; one for stevie, to track her walks & grooming, & one for meal planning.

I'm hoping it will motivate me to actually make more things and plan meals out, rather than ordering out or just rummaging in the fridge hoping something appears.

I got the sticky notes idea from pinterest; instead of having to do a new meal spread every week, you can just use pencil or put new sticky notes on. Who doesn't like to keep it simple?

For the most part my journal stays very minimalist, as I don't have the time or creative genes to make it super pretty & detailed. But it works for me and I like finding new little things to add!

BITS & BAUBLES | THREE THINGS FROM JANUARY

Oh hey, hi! Long time no see! It's been a MONTH, yes? January may just have 31 days, but every year it feels like 311. HOO. This one was particularly busy, as I've gone a little off the rails & decided I just couldn't get away from school. You'll see plenty of the (mis?) adventures over on my insta stories, since I've completely abandoned the old snapchat for them.

& so is life.   

ONTO THE LIST:

1// These mules.

I'm almost certain I've highlighted these recently, but it's only because I just can't get enough. I'd never actually owned a pair of mules before & these babes are comfortable, cute, & go with literally everything. My best friend calls them my old lady shoes, & I wear that title proudly, thank you. (& here's a little alternative for all you non-kid size wearin babes)

2// The Greatest Showman.

I actually saw a new movie!  I don't get out to the movies often & it's a shame because I really enjoy it, aside from the $10 popcorn prices. anyway, my mom & I decided to see the greatest showman after hearing rave reviews from literally everyone, & I don't regret a second of it! The costumes. The music. The cinematography. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 

3// Yoga, consistently. 
My yoga journey has been nothing short of a ride, & for the past few months I've made a commitment of practicing at least five times a week, and for the most part I've stuck to it. The holidays were a little hairy, but January is the month of getting back on track and that's what I've done. My favorite virtual yoga teacher Adriene does a 30 day practice at the beginning of each year, & I've been loving this year's. Practices like this help keep you in check with a consistent flow. It can be extremely challenging, but worth it!
