I’ve been on the hunt for boots for awhile. Full disclosure, I used to have SW 5050s which I must’ve bought 10 years ago and they lasted a super long time. When they finally died (the heel fabric was completely ripped and weren’t salvageable but I figured after a decade, it was time for aContinue reading “Reserve Boot”

Mariel Trapeze Midi Dress
This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The fabric is not what I was expecting at all – it was heavierweight and stiffer than what I would’ve thought (in a good way). In fact, the fabric was nice enough that I started to question where I would wear something like this. It’s a bit too high endContinue reading “Mariel Trapeze Midi Dress”
Encompass Utility Mini Dress
I’m based in the US and I’ve seen the Aje brand on Instagram and on sites on NAP. Came to Aus for a vacation and popped into the store. I was immediately surprised by the quality of the fabrics. This dress for instance had a heavier weight than I would’ve expected. I loved it! IContinue reading “Encompass Utility Mini Dress”
Lilou Turtleneck Dress
This was my first order from Staud. Not too familiar with the brand but a friend of mine had bought a cute dress so I started following it. I always get wary of these contemporary brands where dresses are $400-500 with meh quality. However, Staud did a big sample sale where everything was ridiculously pricedContinue reading “Lilou Turtleneck Dress”
Yulianaland Boot
One of my colleagues bought this exact pair in the Beige color and I loved them. I decided on a whim to walk to the SW store close by. I tried these on and I fell in love. It was definitely not on my plan to drop a hefty chunk of change on boots butContinue reading “Yulianaland Boot”
Lou Medium Quilted Camera Crossbody Bag with Pocket
Truly the perfect every day bag. It’s light, durable, and a versatile shape that fits more than you think it does. Bonus points for being great for traveling! It’s a real classic for any woman.Saint Laurent,n/a,$1690,5’3-5’4 5’3-5’4,Bag,Luxury Brands All Reviews,Saint Laurent
Gaspard Cardigan
I’m on the fence with this one. I don’t like it tucked into the medium rise pants, but I think I’d like it with high rise pants. The small fit well and wasn’t too boxy on me when untucked. I was surprised I prefer this neckline to Barry, as I generally look better in v-necks.Continue reading “Gaspard Cardigan”
Otto Jumper
I really really wanted to love this. But I have to be honest with myself, it’s not the most flattering on me. Softer and less itchy than the Gaspard and Barry. Will return. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs, very straight body type with broad shoulders and small boobs- 34” chest and 29” waist.Sezane,M,$145,5’7-5’8 5’7-5’8,French Brands,Jumper,Size M,TopsContinue reading “Otto Jumper”
Leontine Jumper
This is super comfortable and a nice weekend jumper. I am a “smedium” and while I ordered this in a small I’d like to compare it to a medium. If it shrinks at all, the sleeves will be too short. Not sure what I’ll do with this. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs, very straight body typeContinue reading “Leontine Jumper”
Tomboy Shirt
I don’t think the tomboy is flattering on me. It makes me look too masculine. I have a few chlo and Ann shirts and they suit me much better. Size was good though! Will return. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs, very straight body type with broad shoulders and small boobs- 34” chest and 29” waist.Sezane,S,$110,5’7-5’8 5’7-5’8,Button-DownContinue reading “Tomboy Shirt”
Betty Cardigan
Wow this is gorgeous in person. Even better than in sezane’s photos. The detailing is so so pretty. I have a stupid long torso so I reordered in a medium to see if it give me a little more length. The pants I tried everything on with are mid rise and I prefer high rise,Continue reading “Betty Cardigan”
Barry Cardigan
I’ve had my eye on this for AGES, but I don’t love it on me. Normally v-necks are my jam since I have wide shoulders, but I think this is a little too open. A little itchy, but not too bad. Will return. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs, very straight body type with broad shoulders andContinue reading “Barry Cardigan”
Anneli Jumper in Ecru, Chuck Trousers in Camel
I’m 5’8” 145 lbs, very straight body type with broad shoulders and small boobs- 34” chest and 29” waist. Obsessed. Love the detailing. Very soft. I think my 80 year old MIL has a similar sweater, but I still love it. Looks equally good tucked in and out. I have it on with the ChuckContinue reading “Anneli Jumper in Ecru, Chuck Trousers in Camel”
Ombre Forest Maxi
Very happy with this dress. I’m 5’2”. Note, the front is not smocking. The back is ties too, so it’s still adjustable. The weird thing is that the site showed it as a halter, which I think you can still do, but I prefer the over the shoulder shape. I’m a fairly solid 8 andContinue reading “Ombre Forest Maxi”
Puzzle Bag
I’ve been interested in the Puzzles for a long time, but I was unwilling to spend that much money on a bag (I’m generally in the Fossil/Kate Spade price range) before seeing this colorway/hardware combo (this is Dark Butter). I’m glad I was able to snag this before the original Puzzle design is phased outContinue reading “Puzzle Bag”
Leontine Jumper
Leontine (M): I know it doesn’t look like much but it is so easy to wear. It’s a very heavy cotton knit and it drapes beautifully. I love the balloon sleeves, but I do find the sleeves much shorter than the other sweaters. I would not size down in this one if you have longContinue reading “Leontine Jumper”
Lucas Jumper
Lucas (S): Nice structure (stiffer than James but still soft) and good length with jeans. I like the versatility of the collar but something about it feels a bit grandma when buttoned up (the colour I think?). I regret not getting the black because I think this style would look great when dressed up. I’mContinue reading “Lucas Jumper”
James Jumper
I purchased the James, Lucas, and Leontine. James (M): The softest and bulkiest of the three. I’m obsessed with the matte buttons. The fit is boxy so it needs some finessing to look flattering. This one is all about being cozy. I’m 36-28-39 and 5’6.Sezane,M,$170,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,French Brands,Jumper,Size M,Tops All Reviews,Sezane
