I have a mini-review for you today of a beautiful new brand I’ve been testing over the last couple weeks. I discovered Lyons Leather Co maybe a month or two ago and have since tried all three sizes of their beautiful handmade leather pouches. These items were not gifted, I bought them myself.

This review is specifically for the Lyons Leather Co Biggie Bee in the color honey, with the standard strap. In my photos you will see two bags, the above bag is the Standard Bee Bag in Cognac (which is, by the way, a STUNNING color). Below, you will see the Queen Bee in Sage, an amazing neutral (and a limited edition color that won’t be available much longer).

All three sizes are truly unique, beautifully made, and super functional, an excellent minimalist option for daily carry or travel.

To put it simply, the bags come in three sizes:
SMALL
MEDIUM
LARGE

Dress it up, dress it down, wear it anywhere function is exactly what I want in a handbag and this one really exceeded my expectations.

Some specific call-outs from my perspective that applies to all three sizes of the Lyons Leather Co pouches:

*beautiful, full grain leather
*gorgeous, meticulous stitching
*brilliant design with so many ways to wear
*clever organization inside
*timeless style

(I do want to note that my bags were a previous generation so slightly different from the current design that is offered. If you purchase now, your bag will look just like mine but also include an outer slip pocket with magnetic closure. It’s perfect to store your phone or essentials for easy-access. For my next bag, I think I would choose the extended strap for extra length as well.)

This item was gifted to me for my honest review and for content creation. Thank you wool& for the opportunity to share the Roam Cami Slip.
For reference, I am 5’6”, 190 pounds, and a pear shaped 42 year old. I am wearing size Large.

As a South Carolina girly, a little spaghetti strap slip will always have a place in my wardrobe and this piece has the versatility to really get a ton of wear. As always, I am challenged by my own size metrics. I’m probably close to an XL in the hips/tummy but more of a medium in the chest/shoulders.

wool& Roam Cami Slip, size Large in black 

For Roam, I wish I had chosen a medium and probably should have exchanged but I was already attached to the size large by the time I came to that realization, so I will continue to wear this. Fortunately, the straps adjust allowing me to tighten the fit of the top a good bit.

The fabric of Roam is smooth and super stretchy, just like you would want from a slip with 75% merino wool, 22% nylon, 3% spandex. At 200 gsm it’s not sheer but it’s very lightweight. Initially, I wondered if I might be able to wear this piece alone as a dress in the summer. Now that I have tried it myself, I’ve decided that at my shape and age, I’m just not willing to do it, it’s a little too thin and a smidge too clingy. If I was on vacation and walking the beach, I would feel fine, but in most cases probably not something I would wear as a standalone. However, I can imagine many folks could pull it off really well.

I was most excited about pairing the Roam Cami Slip with leggings and other tops, giving me skirt-like coverage or extending a top into tunic length. For this, I’m absolutely thrilled with the functionality of it and this is something I will wear a lot.

Whenever I find myself a little bored with an outfit, adding in a contrasting texture can often do just the trick and so layering the Roam Cami Slip with a lace top gave me a little style pick-me-up (last few pics). I have no doubt the Roam Cami Slip will get a lot of wear in my wardrobe!

First outfit up and I love how this one turned out! I am wearing the Beatrice Polo top in Stone Grey with the Dylan Belted Vest over the straight cut leggings. I hoped the Beatrice would be a hit for me because I love the Bristol dress, it’s just a great neckline for me. I also love that the Stone Grey almost reads white to the eye and for a winter like me it’s such a great cool neutral. I think the color makes it extra sharp and look quite professional, especially with the Dylan Belted Vest. As soon as I tried on this vest, I knew this was a keeper for me.

This entire look FEELS like Pajamas and yet looks very professional. I am always looking for nice business casual alternatives to, say, a business suit, and this is absolutely perfect in my mind!

Although I think the Summit Straight Cut Pocket leggings do work, I think it would also work well with any slim pant. I will be trying these pieces in other outfit combos as well but I loved this one so much I knew it would be a repeater! I also want to mention that I love the vest unbelted just as much, if not more. This is truly such a versatile piece, I can’t wait to integrate it into my wardrobe!

Simone Cowl Neck Tunic Marionberry Size Large

I tend to shy away from turtlenecks because most styles like this are cut very slim all the way down and that just isn’t my favorite. Simone is unique because it’s loose and flowy going down, while still having a nice trim arm and traditional cowl neck. I love the drop sleeve cut, it makes it look relaxed and adds to the flowy vibes. I also really like the side slits and longer length in the back.

It’s actually a little bit longer on me than I expected, which I am happy about. I am wearing a size large and of course I can never say enough good things about Marionberry. The one thing I would wish, was that the fabric was a smidge thicker. I think it would be so nice in a heavier weight, but I still really like this piece and am sure I will wear it a lot. I love how it looks with Goldie and Dylan also!

Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Link-Stitch Dolman Sweater

My first piece to share is this Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Link-Stitch Dolman Sweater. I chose a size Large in Heather Charcoal and this piece was actually sent to me about a month ago. I have worn this shirt at least 10 times since and I absolutely LOVE it. This is honestly the boxy oversized fit I have been looking for and I find it to be super flattering and incredibly versatile. This sweater is mostly cotton but does have a very smooth luxe feel and is soft, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. It’s also the perfect transition piece for folks like me who want to dress for Fall when temps are still warm!

Australian Merino Wool Cable Sweater Vest
Sweater vests are crazy popular this year and I have been hoping to find one that would fit me well as a shirt AND as a layering piece. I’m delighted to say that this vest is the perfect solution for both next-to-skin tank top style and layering as a base or a topper! I am absolutely thrilled with how soft and breathable this piece is and really happy to add some chunky texture to my transition pieces when it’s not quite cold outside yet. The timeless cableknit design and the wider, capsleeve cut make it the perfect piece for me. Again, I am wearing large and it fits true to size for me.

As I said, this vest is perfect has a next-to-skin layer with heavier pieces on top. I absolutely ADORE this 100% Organic Cotton Knit Blazer from Quince (for full disclosure, I purchased this piece myself). It’s got the elevated look of a corporate style blazer, but it feels more like a sweatshirt and the relaxed fit and 3/4 sleeves are right up my alley, style-wise. I love it with the vest. This is something I will enjoy wearing for work meetings or running errands.

100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt
I have been slowly building up a bit of a linen capsule and I thought a long sleeve striped shirt would be a great piece to add in. The imperfect, airy texture of linen is SO nice against your skin and it’s a great fabric to layer with thicker sweaters like the other pieces I have shared here. I tried it as a base layer and open over a silk tank and really enjoyed the different looks. My one regret is that I wish I had sized up to an XL (mine is a large) for a more over-sized fit, but I do feel it fits true to size.

This piece was perfect for an Agatha All Along Inspired look, hang in to the end of the post for pics!

There is nothing quite as cozy as an oversized cardigan, and this 100% Yak Wool option from Quince is a great fit for my wardrobe. I love the relaxed fit (wearing a size large here), generous length, and comfy texture. Yak wool is also incredibly warm and has all the benefits we love in merino!
