I love the concept behind this dress – it looks like the perfect spring/summer weekend dress as you chase around your kids. I think this kind of dress looks really flattering on women who are long and lean. When you’re 5’6 and 135lbs, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I think if the necklineContinue reading “Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress”

Blade Patent Leather Slingback Pumps
I feel too formal when wearing classic pumps, so I’ve really been into the slingback trend. I’ve loved Saint Laurent’s Blade slingbacks (they have different styles, but all of them are characterised by a square pointed toe) for a few months, and decided to go for it. I tried on the silver mirrored version andContinue reading “Blade Patent Leather Slingback Pumps”
Sigrid Dress
I bought this dress as part of “return to work” purchases. Just wanted a simple black dress that could be versatile and functional without breaking the bank. This one fit the bill. Feels like the dress is pretty close to what was advertised. The only thing that is a little off is that the pleatsContinue reading “Sigrid Dress”
Tropez Romper
This is one of the very rare instances where I discovered a brand through my husband. These terry cloth “towel polos” were everywhere in the summer of 2021 and I just had to jump onboard! I saw this romper and it looked absolutely adorable. The good: Incredibly comfortable, easy to put on (not always theContinue reading “Tropez Romper”
Odyssey Skirt
$52 but got on sale for $16 Ordered a bunch of Buffbunny items for fun. Love this skirt – I got it in Tan and Ivory. The Ivory skirt is a bit see-through so I think I’ll need to pick up some spandex shorts to wear underneath. In terms of sizing, I would say itContinue reading “Odyssey Skirt”
Colette Marinière Top
I’ve had my eye on this style of shirt for awhile. I checked out versions in Saint James as well as Sézane and I figured at this price point, I would try this particular one. It’s just your standard boat neck shirt. The fabric is fine, if a little boxy. The fabric is actually aContinue reading “Colette Marinière Top”
Jia Dress
This brand is an unusual one – I saw lots of beautiful marketing images on Instagram and was intrigued enough to spend some time on the website. It turns out this was a “made to order” brand – they’re all about limiting production volumes to reduce waste, so if you end up ordering an item,Continue reading “Jia Dress”
Elroy Seam-Front Pants
Pants are a total landmine for me. I’m pretty sure this was the first online pants purchase for me. There are just too many landlines – I have a tush and hips and generally fitted silhouettes work best for me; alas, fitted silhouettes aren’t the easiest when shopping online. I discovered Ba&Sh and I reallyContinue reading “Elroy Seam-Front Pants”
Penny Loafer
Ugh, this is a brand that was a total letdown. Full caveat – I bought two pairs of shoes: this penny loafer as well as their signature style, the Demi (see here). I was coming out of my work from home cocoon and needed some flats for my work commute. I was totally sucked inContinue reading “Penny Loafer”
Melissa Button 2 Boot
OK so I’ve had these boots for two years now – aka, PLENTY of time to break in. They look absolutely lovely once they’re on – gorgeous leather, incredibly comfortable, works with just about any item of clothing, and looks like a very classic, classy leather boot. Here’s the problem – the boot has noContinue reading “Melissa Button 2 Boot”
Cotton Breton 3/4 Sleeve Frill Jumper
I’ve had this sweater for no less than a month now and I have worn it essentially every weekend! It’s the perfect casual sweater to pair with jeans. I would also wear it with a pencil skirt to the office. True to the brand, the quality is really excellent. I’ve tried Breton tops from LaContinue reading “Cotton Breton 3/4 Sleeve Frill Jumper”
Work Lab Tailored Slim Crop Trouser Suit
I’ve been in dire need of work pants for awhile. I saw these pants at the Me + Em store and thought why not? I got a size 6 (for reference, my hips are 39.5″; I usually wear a size 4 on top and dresses, and usually size 6 in pants). These didn’t really workContinue reading “Work Lab Tailored Slim Crop Trouser Suit”
Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress
Background: I saw this dress in the store and it was definitely a very “on-brand” style for me. I think I probably should’ve sized up and it might have worked but the store was seriously packed and I didn’t love it enough to be bothered. I loved that the store had everyone from teens shoppingContinue reading “Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress”
Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
This dress is amazing! The fabric is super stretchy with thin fabric but isn’t see-through in normal lighting (will have to test in sunlight). I didn’t notice any panty lines but the fabric is thin enough that none of my current bras work as they’re visible through the fabric. I’m going to try wearing theContinue reading “Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress”
Tabitha Animal Print Dress
Background: I’m a REISS fangirl. I love their shirt dresses, although I do think the quality is not quite what it used to be in the past. This style tends to be flattering on most body types and I love that they have a number of different colors and patterns. I’ve been the eyeing theContinue reading “Tabitha Animal Print Dress”
Marlie Ombre-Print Pleated Woven Maxi Skirt
Background: I’ve been recently obsessed with pleated skirts. I love how feminine and girly they are without sacrificing chic. However, is it my body type or is it how I’m styling it but they never look great on me! I’m thinking maybe something with an elastic waistband is just not flattering on my stomach. MaybeContinue reading “Marlie Ombre-Print Pleated Woven Maxi Skirt”
Forever Belted Longline Mac
Background: I was (and currently still) in need of a great spring/fall coat. I absolutely loved this coat but it was hard for me to stomach such a big purchase without trying on at least a number of other styles but this one is still definitely in the running. FIT: I tried on the USContinue reading “Forever Belted Longline Mac”
Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress
Background: I was constantly bombarded with ads for Me + Em – funny thing is, the Instagram algorithm really works because the aesthetic is definitely up my alley. I would have this loop of adding things to cart, especially items that were on sale, get to the check out and then chicken out because I’veContinue reading “Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress”
