Lovely Lace Flat in Black

I had been following Tamara Mellon for awhile and the shoes looked so darn sexy but was always hesitant to buy because there were no reviews and I couldn’t find anything on the quality of the shoes. I bought the bullet and bought two flats (the review for the other one is forthcoming!). This oneContinue reading “Lovely Lace Flat in Black”

Jaelyn Dress in Charity

Very cute dress. True to size and it’s definitely a midi length (I’m 5’5.5″) The tie straps are cute and there’s smocking in the back so I think this style can be a little forgiving since you can kind of adjust to your body. It feels pretty versatile – can wear to a wedding withContinue reading “Jaelyn Dress in Charity”

Irisa Dress in Larkspur

Not for me. It looked great on the model and the hanger but I felt kind of frumpy and like a Victoria tablecloth to be honest. The fit is fine but I didn’t like the shape or the design especially the skirt around the knees. There’s smocking in the back so it’s comfortable and there’sContinue reading “Irisa Dress in Larkspur”

Idy Printed Stretch Cotton Belted Tank Dress in Ecru Multi Tapestry Jungle

Part of a store try on. This was SO disappointing. I had been eyeing this dress in the Vegan Leather for weeks and I figured since there’s a Saks closeby, I should just go try it on and boy, am I glad I did! First off, I’m usually a size 6 but I think thisContinue reading “Idy Printed Stretch Cotton Belted Tank Dress in Ecru Multi Tapestry Jungle”

Lila Jacquard Blazer in Burnt Orange Umber Paisley

Part of a store try-on. I’m quite torn about this fabric. The quality is really stellar and the details are stunning. However, brown is just not my color. They do have this jacket in different colors and I definitely think I would be more open to trying this in different colors. I’m not stoked aboutContinue reading “Lila Jacquard Blazer in Burnt Orange Umber Paisley”

Maura Cropped Jacket in Pink Glo

This is part of a store try-on. I picked this jacket up on a whim and didn’t think it would look good because it looked kind of boxy on the hanger but I love it! The color is super vibrant and I think the shape works really well for me (hourglass-y figure). The price isContinue reading “Maura Cropped Jacket in Pink Glo”

Petra Cylinder Heel in Gold/Silver

Figured someone might appreciate a picture review of these shoes since shoes are especially hard to buy online. I usually wear 7.5-8 and these are 8 which fit perfectly. You can see the silver and gold threads that are interwoven. Super comfortable and I think would do very well for a summer wedding or aContinue reading “Petra Cylinder Heel in Gold/Silver”

Mariata Skirt in Purple Floral Print

I usually am between a 32/34 for bottoms and my go-to size for tops is an XS. For all these items I took my usual size 34/XS. Love this floral print and the a-line cut is perfect. I really really wished it had a lining since it is see through in direct light (the photoContinue reading “Mariata Skirt in Purple Floral Print”

Nour Skirt in Yellow Flowers

I usually am between a 32/34 for bottoms and my go-to size for tops is an XS. For all these items I took my usual size 34/XS. I got this pattern in the mini skirt version and I love everything about it. Nice a-line shape, fits TTS, and has built-in shorts for those windier days!Continue reading “Nour Skirt in Yellow Flowers”

Alicia Skirt in Yellow Flowers

I usually am between a 32/34 for bottoms and my go-to size for tops is an XS. For all these items I took my usual size 34/XS. I love the pattern, but I was hoping for it to be longer like a maxi length. This is definitely a midi skirt and I’m 165cm for reference.Continue reading “Alicia Skirt in Yellow Flowers”

Basile Cardigan in Olive Green

I usually am between a 32/34 for bottoms and my go-to size for tops is an XS. For all these items I took my usual size 34/XS. I wanted to love this one because I’m obsessed with the color, but since it’s a lighter color the fuzziness of the material is more noticeable than myContinue reading “Basile Cardigan in Olive Green”

Bastien Jumper in Candy Pink

Archives haul. I usually am between a 32/34 for bottoms and my go-to size for tops is an XS. For all these items I took my usual size 34/XS. Maybe I have a big head but I struggled to put it on!! For a 100% merino wool knit I actually found it to be onContinue reading “Bastien Jumper in Candy Pink”

Gabrielle in Large, Metallic Gold

hated this bag when it first came out but definitely grew on me over the years especially the long shoulder strap and open top for easy access – the mixed metals is also a nice touch and the bag did not feel heavy – the large size can fit a laptop vertically (though the topContinue reading “Gabrielle in Large, Metallic Gold”

Crocs Off-White Mega Crush Sandals

i know crocs? what? as a long time never-croc-er, i get it, but crocs is kinda having a design moment – a beige color shoe really elongates the legs (assuming that’s your skin tone) and the platform is extra flattering – the downside though is it runs very large so size down (a full sizeContinue reading “Crocs Off-White Mega Crush Sandals”

blue megablister leather gloves

so so SO disappointed in Rick Owens – the color (sorry about the lighting) is as advertised (and gorgeous) but the leather had the thickness and texture of tissue paper and not the supple squishy goodness you would expect from $500+ gloves (ok I got on sale for $200 but still!) // loved that itContinue reading “blue megablister leather gloves”
