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”
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”
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”
