In terms of sizing, I’m about 165cm (5’5) and usually wear EUR 38 (US 6) in dresses and EUR 38/40 (US 6/8) in pants. Shiny but OH-SO-ITCHY. The dress is noticeably heavy. I only managed to try the dress once but it gave me temporary rashes on my arms and neck.Sezane,6,$285,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Dress,French Brands,Size 6 AllContinue reading “Elaine Dress”

Tabata Skirt
Size 40 (FR) / Size 8 (US). I love the print and color. I sized up and got a 40 because it’s silk and not likely to stretch. It also solves my small waist, big hips problem. For sizing, I’m 165cm with relatively longer legs compared to my torso. I’m usually EUR 38 / USContinue reading “Tabata Skirt”
Macie Blouse
This is a true case of fantasy and reality do not line up at all! Use the link above to see how the product is marketed and check out what it really looks like below! I kid you not – this top was so bright and sparkly, it looked like something I would wear toContinue reading “Macie Blouse”
Chlo Shirt
Ugh, I’m so bummed about this shirt. This shirt is GORGEOUS. The beautiful buttons, the collar details, the lovely silky feel… There was no gaping at all which is not always the case (bought the size 4 which is my usual size). Unfortunately, it was totally utterly see-through. I’m wearing a nude bra which isContinue reading “Chlo Shirt”
Augusto Trousers
I got the EU40 in these. My waist is 30inch, hips 40in. These fit just right in the hips with just a small gap in the waist which is typical for me with respect to Sezane trousers. They’re 100% cotton with little, to no stretch and they are thick and structured like traditional denim. TheContinue reading “Augusto Trousers”
Scott Trench Coat
I got a size US4 (EU 36). I typically wear a size 4, sometimes size 2. Since I live in a hot climate, I didn’t feel the need to size up to fit bulky sweaters, and I think this is a good fit. There’s a little extra room, but probably not enough for a thickContinue reading “Scott Trench Coat”
Doha Tie Waist Dress
This dress was part of my “return to office” purchases – after years of leggings and sweats, I had to refresh my roster of work dresses. I found this dress on the ba&sh website and thought the silhouette looked like it would be fairly forgiving which it totally was. It came with a belt whichContinue reading “Doha Tie Waist Dress”
Jazmynn Satin Stretch Skinny Jeans
LOVE THESE JEANS! So glad I bought these. My trusty AG jeans split at the butt in a moment of humiliation after only two years which I find to be unacceptable for denim. The last time I went to an AG store, I was very underwhelmed with the designs, especially at that price point. TheseContinue reading “Jazmynn Satin Stretch Skinny Jeans”
Jadis Cowl Neck Sleeveless Top
$122 (originally $175). This top definitely falls into the bucket of “would not have purchased if I were browsing online” but in the store, the fabric just looked so chic. Plus, I feel like a satin dressy top is a must for every woman. I got my usual size (size 1 in Ted Baker lingo,Continue reading “Jadis Cowl Neck Sleeveless Top”
Niels Shorts
Love these shorts! Super cute and functional. In terms of sizing, my butt is around 39″ and the size 6 fit me perfectly. I wear them basically all summer. Easy to maintain, easy to style, and super comfy too. Sezane,6,$125,5’5-5’6 5’5-5’6,Bottoms,French Brands,Shorts,Size 6 All Reviews,Sezane,Shorts

MOA Black Nappa Flat
Size 38 (US 7.5) I bought these shoes after a couple of failed experiments purchasing emerging designer brands (see my review on ALLY Shoes and Margaux). I think in short, while these shoes are very design-forward and eye-catching, I think the quality could definitely be better. So first and foremost, the shoes are super comfy.Continue reading “MOA Black Nappa Flat”
Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress
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”
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”
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”
