First purchase from Claudie Pierlot. I like the sporty look of the skirt but it definitely wrinkles easily (as is clearly visible in my picture). I tried both the S and M but funnily enough I preferred the flare of the M where it was a little bit more visible. It’s elastic waist too soContinue reading “Ecru Tennis Skirt”

Interlocking CC Logo Loafers
CAVEAT: not comfy! It’s taken quite some time to break these in. Maybe I need to wear it many more times for it to be comfortable but I think that’s usually the case for high quality leather anyway. The top part of the shoe essentially doesn’t move. The overall shoe heaviness is about a medium.Continue reading “Interlocking CC Logo Loafers”
Large Raffia Tote Bag in Orange
This was a purchase on a bit of a whim but it was a great summer purchase. You can see from its dimensions that it’s pretty big. I can fit two laptops and a whole bunch of other random things. It’s sturdy too and the straps are very comfortable to sling over my shoulder. IContinue reading “Large Raffia Tote Bag in Orange”
Daniela Silk Dress
Ugh I LOVE THIS DRESS! Such a classic! The fabric was also glorious (silk). This is very high on my potential shopping list for a formal event. True to size and I like that while formfitting, it wasn’t like a clinging dress that shows all the lumps and bumps. It is quite long though soContinue reading “Daniela Silk Dress”
Travel Tailoring Swing Top
Can’t figure out what it is but something is just a tad off. It looks rather frumpy on me although maybe it’s because I paired with the culottes so it just looks odd. Maybe with skinny jeans or some sort of streamlined bottom it would look better…? Not sure but not for me. I’m wearingContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Swing Top”
Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top
To be honest, not a fan. I think the swing silhouette isn’t really for me – I like having more fitted styles especially around the waist which is most flattering for me. I also don’t like that my so-called t-shirt bra is still visible. Fabric is nice, I’m wearing my usual size (size 4). JustContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Shirt Collar Swing Top”
Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress
I thought this dress was really nice but it was hard to see what occasion I would wear this at. I would imagine this could be really nice resortwear perhaps but I didn’t think I could pull it off. I definitely think this hews to the Me + Em ethos of you kind of haveContinue reading “Fine Pointelle Knit Maxi Dress”
Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt
Oh. No. Just no. I feel like you have to be very long and lean to pull this off. I look like I’m wearing a highly elaborate Amish nightgown. The collar conceptually looks cool but it looks puerile on me. The print is really beautiful, however, I truly struggle how one can pay $500 forContinue reading “Trellis Floral Print Midi Dress + Belt”
Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte
I’m not a pants person but I wanted to try these on and I loved it! They’re elastic so super comfortable. I generally struggle with pants and their length but I actually love this look. The reason why I ended up not getting these is because I don’t quite have the right tops to pullContinue reading “Travel Tailoring Ponte Culotte”
Martin Crop Trousers
I don’t spend much time browsing Sezane the way I used to, but I still look for staple trousers occasionally and was super excited about the gingham for the Martin crop. I ordered the black and ecru, and the brown and ecru. They said if in between sizes to size up, and I am smackContinue reading “Martin Crop Trousers”
Marin Dress
I’m 168cm and 58kg. Size 38 (US 6) is a bit snug; I probably should have sized up to be more comfortable. I have two other Gabin dresses in 38 and they are fine but I would suggest sizing up in this style. Rouje in general does run a little small.ALLY Shoes,8,$325,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Emerging Designers,Pumps,Shoes,Size 8Continue reading “Marin Dress”
Gabin Dress
I‘m 168cm and 58kg. I have two of the Gabin dresses and I love the cut. Size 38 is the perfect size (note: Sezane tends to run large, Maje runs small, and Rouje in between depending on the item). My usual size is 36 in tops and 38 in bottoms.Rouje,size 6,,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Size 6 All Reviews,Rouje
Ombré jacquard-knit tote
My new arm candy! It’s made of sturdy fabric and holds the shape well. It is big enough to fit a laptop and all the essentials. Not heavy at all, it’s very comfy to hold. Super cute bag! I’ve gotten lots of compliments in the office.ALLY Shoes,8,$325,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Emerging Designers,Pumps,Shoes,Size 8 All Reviews,Ally,Shoes
Jacques Jacket
So I REALLY like this jacket! It’s made of a fairly thick fabric and seemed to be well-constructed. I like the oversize fit. I’m wearing a 38 (usually wear 36 on tops but will sometimes size up for jackets) and I think this is the right size. The shoulders are usually tough for me butContinue reading “Jacques Jacket”
Raquel Dress
I call this the safari dress – I don’t know why but it looks like something one would wear on a safari 😀 Anyways, I definitely think I should’ve sized up because the chest area was definitely too tight. I liked the shape of it and the fabric was this interestingly soft and shiny fabricContinue reading “Raquel Dress”
Fegus T-Shirt
Very fun t-shirt! Definitely size up! Maybe two sizes 😀 I’m wearing 38 (size 6) where I normally wear a size 4 but I probably could’ve gone another size up as well. Love the print – so very fun. It’s 95% cotton/5% elastane so there’s a little bit of stretch which makes it comfy. IContinue reading “Fegus T-Shirt”
Arthus Top
This top is very cute! I love the weaving of the fabric and the drawstring features is kind of nice too – you can tighten it for a more peplum-y look or you can just leave it loose. Great for the summer with denim shorts, jeans, or a skirt. I’m wearing a size 38 –Continue reading “Arthus Top”
Suzanne Skirt
This one is a no for me. It’s 100% viscose and unfortunately it really did feel like cheap material. The shape was OK but it was sadly not particularly flattering to my lower tummy – I think having the white band on the tummy is questionable. Maybe swapping the colors would’ve been better? Or evenContinue reading “Suzanne Skirt”
