Lea Ankle Boot

I popped into the London Bobbies store because I had been bombarded with their ads on Instagram and I was curious. I tried on the Lea ankle boots in Cabernet because I remember seeing these ads and the product pics looked so nice. The first thing i immediately noticed was the crease and that wasContinue reading “Lea Ankle Boot”

Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress

Nice dress but it’s basically stretchy polyester. Something about the bust/waist area didn’t quite work for me and the fabric honestly felt a little cheap. Reiss felt like a much higher quality brand a few years ago but recently I think they’ve really cheaped out on fabrics so I definitely try to be a littleContinue reading “Madeline Jersey Wrap-Tie midi Dress”

Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress

Very flattering silhouette. I tried it on neutral, got worried about getting it dirty, then tried it on in Mocha, and then decided the Neutral was a better fit for my skin tone. It’s a maxi dress with a funnel neck so it feels like it’s a lot of fabric but with a more form-fittingContinue reading “Vinette Ribbed Funnel Neck Belted Midi Dress”

Short Ruffled Dress

Love this dress! I thought the shape was super flattering. I would probably add another button at the neckline to make it work appropriate because it is a little bit too cleavage-y. I was astonished at the price (more than $450) which I thought was kind of crazy for a Maje dress that was madeContinue reading “Short Ruffled Dress”

Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater

Putting this top on my wishlist. I didn’t like it enough to buy outright especially at the price ($175 seemed a tad steep for a basic top). I like the sweetheart neckline but it is quite wide so wearing a regular bra might be a challenge. Actually that was part of the reason why I didn’tContinue reading “Moka Sweetheart Neck Sweater”

Maude Rib Knit Top

I wanted a classic short sleeve knit top – nothing complicated. However, something about this fit seemed a little off. I do have fairly broad shoulders but this really didn’t feel like it flattered my upper body. It made my shoulders look really broad and also rounded if that makes sense…? Something just looked ratherContinue reading “Maude Rib Knit Top”

Short Patterned Knit Dress

I ALMOST bit the bullet on this one. I thought the shape was super flattering. Love the square neck and the fabric is thick enough to hide lumps and bumps but stretchy enough that it’s quite comfortable. I also really liked the flared skirt but it was a bit TOO flared, if that makes sense.Continue reading “Short Patterned Knit Dress”

Silk Winter Floral Print Blouse

I love this blouse! The color, the fabric covered buttons…. So utterly gorgeous. Unfortunately I really don’t wear a lot of color so I didn’t think this was something I would consistently reach for in my closet. I did try to see if they had the same style in a more neutral color but theContinue reading “Silk Winter Floral Print Blouse”

Silk Little Squares Print Blouse

Ah, I realized after I tried it on that I got the wrong size! No wonder my boobs look like they’re in the wrong spot. It’s a really nice shirt, fantastic fabric, and I love all the little frills and details. Me + Em generally runs true to size for me and I think the sizeContinue reading “Silk Little Squares Print Blouse”

Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami

I saw one of the store assistants wear this shirt and she made it look so fabulous! I didn’t like it on me at all however. It felt very prim and proper, a bit too buttoned up and “school librarian”. I love the details individually (the cuffs, the collar, the lace, the bells sleeves\0 butContinue reading “Lace Cropped Shirt + Cami”

Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress

Mmmm NOPE. My streak of no-good Me+Em maxi dresses continues! Really nice fabric, which this brand is known for, but I always think that this brand is really made for long and lean body shapes. I’m 5’5ish so not super tall and something about the shoulder area kind of bothered me. I felt like itContinue reading “Contrast Panel Fit and Flare Maxi Dress”

Short Sequinned Skater Skirt

Very fun skirt. It’s a stiff fabric so it keeps the flare. The elastic is pretty strong so this may not be comfortable for some ladies but it was fine for me. Flattering silhouette but not something I would wear very often. I also feel like I have too many fit/flare skirts in my closetContinue reading “Short Sequinned Skater Skirt”

Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar

Ugh, this shirt felt like a DREAM! Such beautiful fabric, so soft on the body… TOO BAD IT’S TOTALLY SEE-THROUGH! Honestly, I never understand brands that make these shirts that are completely sheer because now I have to go find another tank top that is just as delicate as the shirt. I also think thatContinue reading “Silk Shirt with Gathered Collar”

Short Draped Dress

Nice dress but one of those styles where it’s hard to envision wearing it on many occasions. I like the sheer sleeves and I like that the decolletage area isn’t sheer so it’s a little bit more modest but honestly it just felt too much like a young woman’s party dress. Not something I couldContinue reading “Short Draped Dress”

Maeve Sequin Kick Flare Slip Skirt

Got this skirt for a special occasion and I’m in love! Great for a holiday party or special occasion, and can pair with so many tops. The fabric is quite heavy but it’s still comfortable and easy to sit in. i’m 5’6 to help with the length. Got so many compliments! I’m wearing a sizeContinue reading “Maeve Sequin Kick Flare Slip Skirt”

Faux Leather Midi Skirt

I’ve gotten a lot of ads for this brand and haven’t been able to find a lot of IRL pictures. I got this midi skirt because it looked pretty classic and wearable to the office but I do think it’s kind of pushing it for the office as it is really form fitting. When IContinue reading “Faux Leather Midi Skirt”

Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps

These were a birthday gift to myself. I LOVE these shoes. They’re so sexy and classy. I usually wear a size 7.5 but like I do for all designer shoes, I sized up to 8 (EU 38) just in case. I will say that they’re not the most comfortable. After a few hours in theContinue reading “Vendome Slingback Leather Pumps”
